Why do women insist on texting as opposed to talking when you first meet them?

[msc545]

I think texting is very impersonal and a waste of time.

[Justneedtokno]

This is not all women I feel like talking on the phone and actually spending time with the person in person

[Justneedtokno]

Thank you

[Blackcupcake]

I prefer talking… I talk a lot so texting can be a pain in the ass

[msc545]

I talk a lot too - texting is too damn slow

[Blackcupcake]

agreed

Women do that to see if you commit any of the unpardonable errors when in the moment like making sexual comments, D-pics, etc... It is the best way to set the traps and see if the boy will walk into them or does he know better. The ladies are not yet at the "get to know you on a personal level stage."

Today, there also is this strange fear to talk on the phone. It is like people d not know what they sound like at all from the texting. Some will do any and every thing to avoid a phone call. Everything hinges around Self-Protectionism.

To see if it's worth actually talking on the phone. We want to invest if we are interested otherwise it's easier to cut off communication when texting

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

It's just a boundary to see how well you can work with their comfort level. Often men want to get too personal too quickly and it makes women feel more like objects than people. It's a way to weed out the lesser men that won't mix well with them. By all means, insist on talking over voice or facetime or whatever, it'll help you weed out the women who aren't a good match for you too.

If I meet someone on an app, I like to text to see how they are and gauge their intelligence and how communicative they are. If I start feeling a connection I’ll meet and then call/text.

Stupid people that lack conversational skills don't like talking and prefer texting. They need to think for a few minutes in between every sentence.

[FilmGuy93]

Because it's impersonal. They want to have a casual and controlled interaction to see if the connection with you is worth pursuing at a deeper level.

You are correct. When I was dating online I quickly learned that all communication before meeting was a waste of time. Agree to meet, then arrange it.

[NathanDavis]

I experience the opposite... we meet in person first, and then, way later... will do texting, and that's for practicality

[NotTacocaT6969]

No sane human being likes talking on the phone.


Unless you’re calling to tell me my mother is dead, have the decency to text.

[exitseven]

I dont know, texting was not s thing when I was dating.

[AFretiredTXn]

It's easier than talking.

Safety reasons

How is texting safer than talking?
