What not to talk about with a girl

[Degenerate]

Because when a friend asks what I have been up to the answer is usually computer related. If Im proud/frustrated/whatever about something that has been going on with them lately Ill give them a quick rundown, they will call me a nerd, and we will get a drink. Friends should care, whether they find the topic interresting or not, to listen for 5 minutes. Just my opinion, maybe I ask too much of people.

Na, no way. you are perfectly right IMO. If people don't talk about what they themselves are interested in, then the world would come down to a silence. People should adapt both sides. Right now, boy's seem to have to comply with girls more than they have to do the same. opinions?

Unless you know somebody pretty well questions like "how ya doing?" or "What have you been up to?" are usually just polite social commentary,particularly when they are asked in settings like the hallway at work or in the 3 minutes before a class starts.They are friendly greetings,meant simply to acknowledge,not to elicite a full blown disertation on any subject.The usual and expected responses are "I'm doing fine" and "not much" or "Working a lot as usual" say much of anything else to somebody you aren't already really close to is like asking for the social kiss of death be you male or female.

People _TALK_ to girls?? :Q

This is true...they're not just there for you to stare at; while that's fun, talking to them can be even more fun

And touching them is the funnest. Especially when they want you to.

Hooters.


I set up my brother-in-law with a co-worker on a blind date. He just talked about how he liked hooters and wanted to open one up in town. Turned the girl off completely.

I agree, but I also think "What did you do yesterday?" is in a totally different class than "Sup?". What did you do yesterday, as was asked in this instance, is asking for more detail than "Not much.".

guys have to understand, most girls aren't into the whole computer/gaming scene. complaining because they aren't isn't going to change anything. if you are interested in a girl, it helps to get her attention by talking about things she likes. once she gets to know you, sure lay on the computer stuff, but overdoing it by talking cs strategy isn't ever going to work if you aren't good friends.

Im not complaining that women arent into the computer stuff. What Im basically complaining about is people putting on a facade that they are interrested in your life but give you crap when you answer their questions. Or how many people will talk endlessly about crap Im not interrested in, but I listen to them because they are my friendd, but give me crap when I talk about something they arent interrested in. And its not just women that do this, I understand that.

Nope.... thats why he will never be married and I will never set him up for a date with anyone I even remotely know.

Threads like these make me appreciate my girl even more . Just today we talked about viruses and BugBear when she told me that "I would really like to run Linux on my computer". I then told her that her computer might not be fast enough to run complicated GUI. I also mentioned that Fluxbox would propably be suitable. She then said "I would like to try it out. And maybe I could then get my Pine-email back?". God I love that girl .

True! But by such propriety, could not one choose to rebel against such system? Why is one obliged to live up to that standard when the questioner is not himself or herself sincerely interested in knowing what one's been up to?

I understand what you're saying, but I really don't see anything erroneous with someone choosing to defy such system of "propriety" or social standard. If one defies it, then one is willing to accept the consequence, which in this case means this guy will not be hearing that question from the lady again anytime soon.

Perfect autocross car...

I dont get why people keep calling it a girly car...

Man, I hate to tell you this, but the Miata is a chick car. So is everything Volkswagen makes.

The VW Bug, the ultimate chick car!

Whats sad about talking something you like?

It would be sad if he made stuff up to impress her. Thats sad. But talking about something you did or like isn't sad......

If she didn't like him talking about CS then I'm sure they wouldn't have gotten on in a relationship anyway.....

A guy should talk to what comes most natural to him about a girl. Not something else. If talking about getting how many headshots in a game is his thing then so be it. If it was out clubbing and how drunk he was then thats that. The girls not going to like you if she isn't interested in what you do......

I'd rather not be with any girl if she didn't like what I did, no matter how boring or crazy it was.....

So true, so true...

Funny how that works, you try and talk about sex to a woman you've just met, or on your first, second, or third date, and she runs away screaming, thinking you're a wakko.

Once you're far enough along that she's interested in jumping in the sack with you, she suddenly wants to hear all about it.

Women, go figure...
