Why do guys take so long to reply to texts? Do they not know it pisses us off? (Page 4)

[Ryoka50]

I don't normally take long at ask unless Im sleep or doing something

[Stranger12756]

Hard to get? Don't do that. A guy OR girl would probably like you more if you just get them back ASAP. People like to be important, especially to people they love.

[Texbig12]

If you like someone and are interested in them, you'll text back regardless!

[rafflesia]

People have lives they get busy also guys hate being bombared by texts.
if you are doing that i reccomend you stop because the guy stop texting you for good

[kelvinmed]

I get busy
I don't know what to text next
There's no follow up questions
The convo is dry
The person is boring or just works and is not putting interesting input or I'm that person

[xjxssica]

thought I was the only girl who got pissed off when this happens

[culinaryqueen]

no i think every girl feels the same way

[fancyjt]

because I'm busy? usually a text isn't 1 text and I'm usually not sitting around waiting for a conversation. checking in? cool I'll text you back when I get a chance. want a conversation? call me.

[Razabaza]

Some girls find it as a turn off. I text back quick because I free time in the sense that it only takes 10 seconds to reply so I do it. Also if I don't reply I will forget you texted for like hours

[genericname85]

Maybe you should get a life do not so you do is wait on a text xD he probably has. Be honest wouldn't it kind of weird you it is ha would always answer at the moment you text?

[Respect4Women]

It goes both ways. Guys aren't the only ones who take forever girls do too. Personally I think it's more annoying when a girl gets pissed when it takes longer than.002 seconds to reply to her.

[less11]

Some guys just aren't big on texting. They get busy and they forget too. I've been through the same shit, just call him it's easier and they appreciate it bc it's quicker

[Djaaay]

If a guy is interested , he'll keep it interesting.

[rakesh07]

actually the question more apt to girls..
but
some times guys do the same , the reason behind is to get attention towards them and one more is if we reply soon girls may think we are free so can wait for you...

[sameold]

txting is not a quick reply anymore. if you need to speak with that person right away... CALL. don't sit there waiting for a damn text. think not long ago there was a time where you would send a letter. and wait days.. if not weeks

[NeedaLifeSoon]

Honestly, I purposely reply late because I thought I was replying to fast. Come to find out she eventually said I was taking to long to reply. Haha. So know I reply instantly and wonder the same thing "why do girls take forever to reply"

[reptocarl]

No we don't. The better question is why do you allow it

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I've always responded quickly with text messages so not all guys are the same.

[razor97]

but i'm sleeping or learning something , so i can't respond to anyone. if i don't respond, don't worry

[melodicstacey]

Could be so many reasons. Hard to say why in general.

[Margillard]

To avoid pissing off the girls, it may be best to email only.

[Anonymous]

Oh even girls too hehehe
Maybe its make you remember them hahaha you knows there are two person most you remember the one you hate and the one you love

[Loon309]

We're not "playing" anything. We just have these funny little things that always seem to get in the way of your excessive texting called "LIVES."

[riks4039]

obviously it will piss off everyone but it's may b ur free but he isn't as ur timing mighy not b matching so he's replying late

[Nic2day]

We don't give text the same priority most women do. If it's people will call, otherwise can wait until tome is available.

[samsmoove]

Lol females do this much more than guys. Me personally I just mirror the girl. If she wants to make me wait 7 hours, I'll do the same lol

[memelordsupreme]

i respond almost immediately, so I'm just guessing here, but i think some of us have the idea in our heads that girls like guys that are uninterested

[Jasper100]

Girls are exactly the same. turns out I was rebound. figure it out yourself because it is not a stereotype at all.

[RyB3y]

I don't take long to reply unless I don't like the person

[Yaman2002]

it's not only guys though, and I personally reply the instant I get notified

[Anon85]

My phone is a tiny PoS so I'd like to think she would realize I don't text very often at all

[Mandylo]

If he he takes so long to reply, he is either busy or maybe he doesn't care much.

[MoAli]

I don't take much time to respond.. Only if my network is too slow or electricity is off

[daviceroy]

I laugh when girls expect immediate responses and yet don't give them back. Remember what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If your responses take hours or days don't expect quiicker back

[kelseywilliams]

well wen our boyfriend buys our phone knowing our temper and does it wen they get home and the phone is in tiny pieces he should remember he's to blame

[daviceroy]

I'd never buy you a phone or anything else if you acted that way. Smashing your phone seems immature especially if it was a gift.

[kelseywilliams]

not immature just hot tempered, wen my mom was alive shed smash phones over guys heads lucky i dont have that bad a temper. and it wasn't a gift i have tiny problems he gave me a phone just in case somethin bad happened and i need to get ahold of him

[daviceroy]

So he loaned you the phone and it isn't yours. If you break other's property... If he buys it for you to keep, that's a gift. Part of becoming an adult is learning to control ones temper. Destroying something out of rage appears to be a loss of this.

[kelseywilliams]

loaned no bought it for me whats up with guys and thinking that if u buy something for someone its still considered urs really that just sounds greedy, but no i can't work cuz i have siezures, thats why he bought it for me just in case somethin bad happens having a brain injury kind of messes with independance. besides his phone is actually messed up from him getting drunk and acting stupid. but it works the screen is just a little messed up

[kelseywilliams]

my phone still works just fine no cracks scratches nothing just was definitely tested in durability lol

[daviceroy]

Your words are the reason for confusion about the status of the phone. You stated it wasn't a gift (Something given to you at no cost by someone). That leaves a loan. Either the type that is expected to return to the original owner or one that becomes the property of the person being loaned to once paid off. Hearing your response sounds like a gift

[kelseywilliams]

and getting drunk and being a dumbass is totally mature, staggering around breaking everything that won't do what u want. definitely

[daviceroy]

It isn't mature either

[kelseywilliams]

my point exactly. its not one sided i lose my temper he gets drunk and acts stupid

[kelseywilliams]

no one can truly b mature its just boring you can be mature and have immature moments its called being human

[daviceroy]

Maturity isn't boring. And just cause someone else is immature as well doesn't dismiss immature behavior of others or oneself. Sounds like there's a lot of issues here besides not instant gratification of responses.

[TheUglyMonk]

I tend to forget "I see it and plan to reply *gets distracted and forgets*" or forget where I placed my phone. I prefer to call though but I mostly answer texts on time.

[IHateBeingaMan]

because we don't want to come across as needy or desperate, to give you the impression that we have a "life", apparently it's far more important for a guy to have a life than it is for a girl

[googeee]

Last time I checked. Woman take forever to text back. I take like 1 hour max. They take 3 days then get angry because I no longer care about the conversation..

[1CEMAN]

yeah, not every guy does. I don't get why guys do cause if you like someone you should want to talk to them a lot. I hate when a gurl I like does. And if they had something going on, they would tell

[Lsummers]

They could just be busy, or just not on their phone.

[Angel_Enemy]

Because texting is not the most important thing in the world

[rahul7860]

Just mesaged a girl she isn't replying.
Goes both ways i am also pissed now.

[Robsinsf53]

I've got something for you to read. I have to learn how to send you this. Its a funny tee shirt.

[MaiaLikesAnime]

It's not just a guy thing, some people are just more busy than others.

[Filip933]

I always reply really fast or basically instantly. I really get annoyed by waiting for a reply..

[Sameersheikh]

amm i reply late too because sometimes i am busy or doing some work..

[raybeho]

Shit girls do that all the time and it does pisses me off. Its so bad its actually attractive when a girl text back quick.

[thechico79]

girls should learn to ask when is it the best time to text. a lot of us work and can not answer each and every text.

[DankMemeage420]

I could say the same thing about girls, because I actually tend to respond very quickly but I can't think of a girl I know that does

[Fathwellforever]

don't you think it p1ss3s guys off and when you text us so much? stfu and make my a sammich make it chicken

[pudgen]

simple, i am busy.. I prefer talk.

[TheUglyMonk]

And that's just last weeks texts.

[Fukaroo]

If your 18+ years old, guys have more important things to do like working and breathing, rather than text on the phone all day.

[keni101]

You just said yous do it 2 lol hypocrite it pisses everyone off if something is that needed to say call or FaceTime someone

[Anttipantti]

we take long time to answer beacuse we dont take it so serioisly we want finish somethong and then answer

[Largh]

Maybe they're busy doing things that don't revolve around you? I guess it's nice if they tell you what they're busy doing, at least.

[KURIOS]

I typically reply right away. Not the same with the opposite sex.

[Anonymous]

Really BECAUSE THATS SO IRONIC. woman APPARANTLY ARE SO BUSY ON SOCIAL MEDIA. that THEY can't EVEN BOTHER READING OUR MESSAGES.

[Dann_22]

If you don't reply, i won't reply back. simple, and if I'm busy i would let you know. I don't like being spammed when I'm working, i lose concentration.

[Crynium]

easy... the guy is playing league of legends trying to get out of bronze. if he looks at his phone, then he isn't really focused oh the game. give him a break.

[gGreat]

because every text is a trap. it takes time to navigate the trap.

[NikolasGLT]

I'd never reply back to you because of your current attitude. There's your answer.

[TheArchangel00]

Most guys are either distracted, busy, or dont know what to say
