Why do guys use social media to communicate instead of calling?
Men are adapting to a future where social media is of the norm and are making less of an effort to engage someone personally in fear of making mistakes or being socially awkward. With texting and typing, there's no pressure to talking to someone on the spot and you can correct yourself till you make the comment that's ideal to you! There's also less pressure when the person can't see your behavior patterns and expressions as that can reveal a lot about a person's attitude towards you.
A man who isn't afraid to reveal themselves in live video cam, calling or talking in person have great confidence in themselves and are going out of their way to impress you! It's sad to see a lot of them afraid of being themselves around people in live time with fear of being judged but relying on a screen and keyboard for protection will only go so far.

Less awkward and no matter how confident the guy is he won't ever be able to say what he really means. So it's easier for us to talk to you on Snapchat or any DM. As it also gives us a little more confidence when and if we speak to you in person. Just be more welcoming with him. And he'll start saying the right things
Probably because it's easier to communicate, flirt, crack jokes and just be yourself.. When you text you can take a time to think of a reply that would be well suiting for certain situation, but when you call it's like talking face to face only without looking at the person you're talking with - you become nervous, shy and/or sometimes end up not saying something better, something that pops up later in your head.. So, nowadays everyone use social medias (texting, chatting) because it's more comfortable than actually calling someone..

Social media is easyer. When you talk feace to feace or calling is more difficult and uncomfortable. But by social media there's a screen that protects you.

Because some guys and girls find calling awkward. I find it awkward and it takes me 5-6 calls to kinda get used to it but still I prefer messaging.

I personally despise talking on the phone. I find i'm more comfortable texting, then being in person (and i'm socially awkward), then talking on the phone.
-
Wait, do smartphones still have a phone call feature?
-
I personally hate the phone (calls), I avoid it with anyone and everyone. Much rather text/email if I can.
-
I do it because I know there's a lot of girls like @Some_Goof
-
Personally at first I'd only give my Snapchat out just to see if you were crazy but if you were chill I'd call you I love talking to a girl on the phone and falling asleep on the phone that shit is so cute

Not all guys like talki g on the phone plus if u do it over messaging u can do other stuff also
-
Its easier to appear as a confident, suave and collected man if all you have to do is write down a few words that show no emotion
-
Because messages can be erazed planned and written again before actually sending it. Where as in call u can't plan what to speak.
-
I don't, but I also don't talk on the phone that often either. I'm usually working, so if I need to talk to someone, I'll just a send a quick text.
-
It's easier, free, you can write more detailed and you can reach more people at once. And the person on the other side doesn't have to be there at the exact same time. They can answer hours later and I still get my answer.

Calling on the phone is seriously uncomfortable.
I'd save phone calls for brief, important messages. -
Calling is awkward for some guys and we get stuck on what to say
-
It's more convenient. Talking on the phone blows. At least Skype me... damn.

Some guys either can't call due to their situation or they're not comfortable
-
Personally I prefer not to call.
This is because I don't want to disturb someone and specially to girls., I don't disturb them -
Guys will only call their boys or if they need something. If I'm chilling with her she can expect a call. I just feel a phone can't replicate the chemistry two people have in person
-
If we're in a relationship, I'd call. Other than that, social media wins, plus it more convenient.
-
For the exact same reason girls do-- they're nervous and/or lazy.
-
Um
He didn't have your number
-
Is it really a guy thing? I hate how I sound on the phone so I try to avoid it where possible.
