General Chat

OK, I can take a hint and know when I'm not wanted.

Fifty to one is not good odds.

When Men give Directions,Its usually from "Pub to Pub" and they do not go round marking their territory.( i/e) Spraying,( like cats )Even though they say its good for getting rid of Foxes Etc. **M**.:o))))>pmsl.

I did that for more than two weeks and felt a right ejit when I found out that the poster was female and not male.....funny how one's form of chat quickly changes. :-)))


Gail.....Hmmm! not sure I could hack that.....not my best in the morning and a chatting Oh would drive me crackers......mind you.....wouldn't mind if he spoke more than a sentence a day, but preferably not about work :-))))

Marion.....Tsk!.....who's side are you on?...Talk more?....Us....never!


ooo Christine....well said!....and twice at that :-)))


Meercat...

Ah...but think back.....can you or anyone remember when they first met......full of chat and more than one liners then.......sides...when with other men they can waffle more than women methinks.

Waffle! Ann.....now why is it we are supposed to waffle and they talk Common sense ?( Colin of Hampshire excluded of course :-))))).....my Oh misses all important parts of a conversation because he thinks it's all waffle.

Tony in Oz is your Cousin Joy?.....Fancy that!......just shows what one learns without trying :-).


Now there is one thing I noticed us ladies do ( me included )...which is....not answer the question which was asked in the first place :-))))))
Which was ( without looking, that is ).....Why men on here don't have discussions with each other, but chat away to the women quite easily.


There must be more men about to answer this .....tis not just a chatting up thing.....there must be a more in depth answer....surely?

PS.....sheesh!....I have tried to answer everyone and my hat goes off to those who do it regularly after leaving a thread for a while....( not been one of my better traits I must admit )

Hi Susan :):)

I suppose I am lucky in a way that I can converse with most people quite freely male or female. I love to have a laugh and a joke with anyone generally and also keep an open mind on most subjects. I can become quite deep in discussion if I feel I understand a subject but always try to respect anothers opinion if different to my own.

I enjoy chatting

Colin :):)

i think it depends where men are. My OH doesn't chat on line and if he sends e mails they are very brief. But get him down the golf club with other golfers and the women have to fight to get a word in. Get him talking about his garden he chats as Daff will agree!!!!

A couple of the men on here chat. Colin in Hampshire springs to mind and uggers, although to be fair uggers only 'chats' if he has something to say. i think that is more it, women can waffle and men don't.

Good morning, Christine.

Peter is fine; I see him when I pop into Raven's site.

There's a gentleman called Cliff who used to chat with Stelly and me in the early hours; another gentleman, Peter on the Isle of Wight, he would chat.

Then there's other gentlemen, too: ie Uggers, Harry Hayes, Fred, Twizz, Glen, Paul Barton, my cousin Tony in Oz etc.

Yep I think your right christine lol.

I should not be here...gassing lol

Men dont get a chance sometimes,so many women about .Us women do tend to talk more :))

I also think they stay clear of a lot of threads in fear of being accused of something lol.

Marion

I'm not sure I particularly notice to start with if posters are male or female, it's difficult to tell anyway, with some of the board names, what sex people are.

I won't name names but, over the years, for weeks I've thought a few posters were male who, it transpires, were actually female and vice versa.

There are a few I'm still not 100% sure about.

Gwyn, how very dare your OH say men don't chat? I've met him and he does chat. lol

Gwynne

Oh poor you, my heart bleeds .......lol

Lizx

Lol Mick.....too late....there is only me left and I don't have the energy to argue......been to busy finishing all the detailed work my Oh should have done :-)))

Hmmm - interesting thoughts ladies.
Yes- male conversation is information based.
When a woman is telling me something,
I often think to myself - "get to the flamin' point!"-
-women waffle off into so much detail that
is irrelevant (to men).

xxx mick

They are probably all tucked up in bed by now ......my own thoughts are........they are scared of us.....only Mick has answered so far...and he has disappeared.....shivvering in his boots no doubt :-)))))

Yers......I had some great male friends......doesn't do to marry one methinks....they seem to turn into the stereotype.......


another thought.....funny how we can run men down on here and vice versa....and not get reported for being sexist......I suppose it must be something that is taken for granted :-)

Cynical us lol never...Join in lads pmsl...xxx

Those who've met me know that I can talk for England, ...'Hello Liz' :))

I get on with most people and love to chat.As a student I had many friends who just happened to be male and when I married it was strange at first...and annoying.. to be away from men as friends and in a situation where it was more acceptable to have women friends.
...not because of OH I might add.

Gwyn

Thanks Christine, as long as he is still around..

Hi Susan, forgot to say hello to you, my apologies.

Lizx

Btw, anyone seen Mac lately, is he ok?

Lizx

Youv'e lost me now Gwynne.....in fact I got lost the minute you got to the traffic lights ....so it can't just be a man thing Lol

edit....ooo Dame...that is sooooo cynical lol......I am sure there are some really nice men who don't come under that catagory......don't forget....there are supposed to be millions of em out there looking in on this Family History Site ( Phew!....got outa that one lol )....am sooo trying to be objective here and not let my natural born cynisism against men rear it's ugly head ( how am I doing :-))))


~~~~~to Liz~~~~

lol Susan, it seems our top "vocalists" on the guy side all seem to live alone lol go figure, the nice chatty ones seem to disappear after a bit, I wouldnt really like mine to have millions of cyber chatty girlfriends...Chatty in general yes if it's about boytoys, we females are far too smart to fall for all that hype...I'm sure they all read with interest and surprise their otherhalfs with info they have read on here nice really I suppose lollol...
