SURVEY: Does TMI often ruin relationships for you... or is your personality the type that can never get enough?

TMI: To Much Information (I am including Gossip in this)

My sisters get mad at me for talking too much and maybe saying things I shouldn't... OK, guilty but they are the same... lol

Tell us how you respond to TMI that you weren't expecting in a conversation or maybe if you are the one that tends to say too much sometimes.

And admit if you secretly or not so secretly really love hearing private information from, or about, others.

Take the Survey and/or post your comments... PLEASE

Yes, I hate it when someone I don't know well tells me too much about themselves or someone else

Yes, I hate it when even close friends give me too much very 'Personal' information about themselves or others

I cut anyone off in their tracks when they start gossiping or telling me too much about themselves or others

I am the type that can never get enough gossipie info - Tell Me More Please!

Hearing secrets about others gives me permission to share my TMI with them. These are the most stimulating conversations to me

I actually try to get others to open up and give me some TMI, I love it!

OTHER, see my comments below, or just open the 'TMI' Survey

[chrissykerdock]

there's a lot of truth to that... sometimes telling someone too much may not be a good idea at all... what if i go on a date and say oh i gave 150 men blowjobs... how would that sound for appeal>

[laurieluvsit]

... lol

[Bricealan]

@chrissykerdock Well, I would just say: Well, Chrissy, I will eat you FIRST!!! And we go from there LOLOL

[BrookeS]

I love TMI

Depends on who the person is. If it is a family member, friend or girlfriend I will listen to a degree but if I feel it is too much or is something I can't help them with I will coax them into a soft landing an try to change the subject.

Now if it is a stranger or one of my buddies saying something raunchy or going off the board I will probably react in a way to diffuse the TMI, but show I am still open to conversations.

Example. I might raise an eyebrow and cock my head and change my tone to indicate heavy sarcasm. "Who the fuck starts a conversation like that? Bro, I just sat down. Too early for that, man."

[Bricealan]

My experience has been that girls in college tended to like to hear from me, things that were intimate or erotic, but were hesitant to discuss things they had done or wanted to do. Maybe not true for all but one example I can think of TMI and sharing it with a relative stranger or just a casual acquaintance.

Personally I like to hear everything that a woman will tell me about her sex life or her fantasies, and some have, and I am willing to do the same if she is forthcoming with me.

[Sunnybeach123]

I'm flattered when people trust me with personal things, but I sometimes give TMI about myself, without meaning to (and then a second after the words have left my mouth I wish I could unsay them).

[SultanT123]

In short, too much Gossip is not at all OK.

If they're sharing TMI just about themselves and good things or sad part of their family that means they trust you so much, you are one special person in their life.

[Guido]

Between friend TMI can be a bit much sometimes but in a relationship it's OK as there should be no secrets. We have no secrets from each other and it has been working fine. We know everything about each other.

[elizamichale1]

I think sharing all u can only makes ur relationship better honey

[Bricealan]

Agreed 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[elizamichale1]

@Bricealan thanks

[bowenw]

I'm not a fan of gossip, but I don't mind other kinds of tmi.

[AydenHazor]

I'm off the opinion that there is no such thing as tmi. Tell me every detail of your day and I will gladly sit with you, listen and discuss

[Grond21]

I always enjoy hearing private information from people. It makes them more interesting. But I don't like hearing gossip just for its own sake.

None of your survey options fit me

[laurieluvsit]

The last one does :)

[Grond21]

It is the closest. But it sounds like some of the TMI you are talking about is gossip and I wouldn't include that. For me, it would be more about personal feelings, history, and desires

[laurieluvsit]

OK, you're right again, as always :)

[Grond21]

As always? I wasn't expecting you to say that

[laurieluvsit]

I'm on GAG to have fun and I do that by trying to be funny... lol

[Grond21]

Ah! That does make a lot of sense. Sometimes it's tough to know the tone implied, even if you know the person.

[laurieluvsit]

I know, most people don't know how easy some guys get their feelings hurt.

I try not to do that but as you say it does happen by accident when something is misunderstood :)

[Grond21]

Yes. Especially when what is light and easy to one person is hurtful and serious to the other.

And you can never predict it

[loveslongnails]

I only want to know TMI if your kinky and want to explore. Unless we're close friends, you can keep the other stuff to yourself! LOL

[SlayingBoooty69]

I think it likely depends on the people.
Some are okay with open individuals, and others can't stand it.
There is always some sort of grey line I think.

[convo_king89]

I usually can’t keep mouth shut. But it depends on the person, what and who you tell

[clampfan101]

When it comes to a relationship she can tell me as much as she wants.

[shortster]

Information is useful, I don't think that you can tell me too much.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am huge oversharer

[BLP11520]

Glad we can message here privately.

[laurieluvsit]

[dazzinu69]

[pickles77]

[Tim-loves-it]
