How do men do ignore women's texts so easily? Teach me how. It drives me nuts.

I've sat and actually tried to think of scenarios where this could be possible. The only thing I can come up with is, when you hardly like someone, it's just enough to tolerate them.

Sometimes it's also when you like getting your ego stroked, you're bored, you don't like them, you know you wouldn't ever be with them, but, you like the attention.

Other than that, I can't think of a valid reason why people ignore texts. Even the "I'm busy" can only go so far because we make time for what we want.

You ignore/postpone/avoid what bothers you at least in some ways… but it also drives me crazy I understand but I do it too sometimes…

The question assumes there is an obligation to reply. I've noticed that many people use texts to carry on conversations. This is so irritating. A conversation involves inflection in one's voice, pauses, and so much nonverbal language that it is ridiculous to try and do so via text. Texting should be used to deliver short and direct messages like this "I'm running late", "can't talk now, in a meeting", "is 5pm ok with you" "yes that works, see you there".

Easyvwe have a life. We’re busy w a lot of other things. We don’t sit there waiting for a text or call. Our life doesn’t revolve around that. Chances are that he’s not interested.

In general, I think it is easy for people who are uninterested in the other party to ignore them. I don't think this is a uniquely male or female thing.

I ignore people's texts myself. I prefer phone call

Because they're not interested.

What if you know they are?

[LazerBean]

Maybe they're lazy, maybe they just aren't sure, but it's a lot more likely that you just misread them and they aren't interested.
