I am more of a listener but if they are like a chatterbox, i will be too because we both have a lot of things to say apart from listening. and I know listening is boring and if you say something and when i listen, it would be awkward. so i try my best to be like a chatterbox. and i am kind of a loner apart from my job time. So i will have time to talk to my dear ones even if that is you.
Wow this answer is amazing
Thank you.👻
I'm a little of both. But I would say a talker would be good as long as there was a reason for talking like a conversation but talking for the sake of venting or just wanting to talk can get tiring after a while but I want back and forth between us not just one way
Oh yea im a venter but maybe once a week lol. Other than that im just gonna give us diff studf to good about
I'm both. I'm a great listener. I'm also a patient listener. I don't need to have the "chair" all the time. I take in everything someone says to me, but i always like to talk too.
I prefer to be with a guy that is both as well. I'd hate to be with someone that wouldn't talk to me, and with someone that never shut up. There has to be a balance
Yes the polls are killing me rn. I need someone who talks too
lol yeah.
My partner is very much more a listener sure when you get him on something he's passionate about he will talk your ear off but in general, together he's a listener and I become more of a talker. In other situations, I'm just a plain old listener. I think that I do prefer listeners because talkers kinda get on my nerves 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha yes guys always said i talk to much but that they were listeners anyway so they enjoyed how i kept topics interesting. However i get annoyed when i ask them to start a topic and they say “i just wanna listen”. Its more of a dealbreaker for me these days

I prefer both. You make absolute sense because usually when the quiet are comfortable with you, they don't mind talking a lot. In my experience at least. Listening, like really listening- you get to notice the small yet unique things about them. Talking, you're able to voice your thoughts and then discuss either some type of common ground or just add to each other.
OOOH i like
I been told I am a great listener, but can talk for hours if i am with friends who are just catching up lol
but i do prefer to listen, and be supportive as much as possible
Best of both worlds
I try to be balanced and generally I am, but I do have a tendency to lean over to too much of a talker at times. I'll catch myself doing too much of the talking without realizing it and shut up so that they can speak. :P
Hahhahaha same
Im a Listener, I love to listen especially when Im interested in that person. But I also dont mind talking and giving off my opinion to the current conversation topic etc.
Good
I tend to be quiet till I open up to someone, then I can talk a bit, but I usually like to listen mostly.
I prefer something balanced, where we both talk and listen to each other.
OH yess
I'm not sure which way to vote. Because I like to talk, but only about some things. About others, I prefer that we both are engaged and have lots of dialogue. Then if the other person is dealing with something, I prefer to listen.
Aww i like this answer
I like someone who likes to talk, because I often am not very good at doing so at first. But they also have to know when to let others speak as well.
I agree
I very much enjoy discussion so I would not appreciate being the only one talking. I'd feel as if what i said wasn't being taken seriously if they did not chime in.
Exactly
both talkers but give eachother time to talk and listen
Yes sounds good
thanks
I love the fact that she just prattles on, and I can listen. As long as there is nothing else going on, a tv or radio bothers me, because I have problems splitting my attention either listen to the media or talk, don't try and do both, because I can't follow either, I just get snippets of both that make no sense.
But I am generally quiet myself.
Lol no tv and radio for you haha. I’d be like omg did u hear anything i said
I prefer a balance of both, since I’m that way. I like speaking and being social, so I wouldn’t be classified as a listener predominantly, but I can in fact listen attentively. I like an exchange of thoughts, with one person talking and the other listening until the roles are reversed.
Overall, I'm more so of a listener than I am a talker. I'm the one who my friend go to when they care to rant or want an outsider's perspective on certain situations. However when I'm completely comfortable with someone, I can be a chatter box, and spew my thoughts and my emotions to my closest friends and my boyfriend.
I would say that my boyfriend and I are pretty equal in lending an ear and being very communicative.
Good conversation skills, at least in my humble opinion means being good at both. I am ok either way, depends on my mood and the topic. Sometimes I lead and do most of the talking, sometimes people just want someone to listen, and I'm usually happy to do that as well. I think the important thing is to be engaged, use gestures, eye contact, etc.
I think I’m a mix of both.. but I love to listen to others and there story more... my partner, needs to be a mix of both
I agree
Im a listener but if i actually want to talk I hope they give me the same opportunity
Oh for sure
I am more of a listner. People always say that to me because i do not talk a lot. Hmm i would like my partner to be a listner too.
Ohh ok haha
I can easily switch between talker and listener but I like being a simple observer.
NICE
I’m both I listen and talk a lot 😂 I’ve been bitched over by my FrIeNdS that I be like a bee 😂 I’d rather be with someone who likes buzzing as well like if she’s all quiet or dry then it’s no good I don’t wanna be with a zombie that just says “nah, Yee, haha, bleh, Cyka, könig” etc
Lmao
Both be both. I tell stories he listen and he tells me something and I listen
Sounds great
I like to think I can be both. And damn I just read urs. Can't describe it better. Honest!
Hehe i love describing it
Like the last line
I definitely want that I guess. Wanting her to be completely comfortable around me
Its not hard to be comfortable around you
Thanks.🙂 Good thing people say that quite a bit 😋😁
I'm more a listener and mostly I have a guy who is the opposite, but lately I do prefer quit people around me cause I don't feel like talking much
What if your partner said they’d leave if you didn't communicate better
Lol I would give a fuck
But generally just cause I'm more a listener doesn't mean I can't speak or communicate well, I'm good at both but tend to be more the other
i'm more of a listener, i prefer listening to people's problems and coming up with solutions based on my personal experiences in the matter. Proposing a different perspective and trying to stay as neutral as possible
Neutral... lol so what do u do if two of your frjends fight and they threaten to leave if yu dont pick a side
fuck them both why do i have to choose? If you're a "friend" and you're asking me to choose then you're NOT a friend ;) simple as that
I want to listen as they talk. I don't talk much at all, I can spend hours not saying anything. I never talk a lot even to people I'm really near to.
What if your partner said they’d leave if you didn't communicate better
Then they would leave me. I always been like that even with my parents / sister, etc.. I can't do anything about it. If we aren't compatible it's better to break up rather than having a huge fight and lots of resentment years after.
My parents aren't compatible at all but they still stay together, they fight a lot and my mother have a tons of resentment towards my father so I want to avoid that. It's a really unhealthy situation. The longer you stay with a person the harder is it to get away / break up.
Generally I'm more of a listener, except when it's about "my subject" I can talk. Than I can easily be in front of a group and talk for hours :D
i much prefer to be the listener and prefer him to be the talker, i just like when men tell me their stories and thoughts let me into their worlds..
I’d rather we both be listeners when the othe has something to say.
Makes sense but what about the talking
Oh I definitely talk more than he does. lol
I prefer somebody who wants to talk, and listen.. I'mma pretty good listener, but I also know how to continue a convo... Sometimes.. Lol..
I want full communications of both parties.
Yess
When someone starts talking to me I turn 360 degrees and walk away.
Um why
Listener. I'd prefer a partner who's a better communicator than me.
I prob shouldve said i want someone who talks and listens
With Strangers I'm a listener, with friends I'm a talker! lol
Sounds like you're a loner lol
You need to come get on rabbit tonight. Do you still go on the pool site?
I don't say much at the best of times so I'm ot going to be the talker.
Okay
I'd love to meet a woman who is a true listener, all they know how to do is be a talker.
I know a lot who listen. Im just not one 😂
LMao sounds like me 🙈
Im both and I'd want my partner to be both as well.
Yea you're right. I wanr my partner to be the listener too since i suck at it lol
I’m more of a talker and I want her to listen.
Oh wow lol
I want to talk AND to listen.
Good
I can be more of a talker at times. When the time comes to listen I can also be very good at that.
Imma listener, wouldn't mind having a talker, just to avoid awkward silences.
I like both being able to have a back-and-forth chitchat.
If the conversation isn't interesting to me, I'll just sit back and listen.
I dont really talk unless im asked a question or a response is required. So someone to fill the silence is good.
I usually listen, I'd prefer my partner be more talkative
What if your partner said they’d leave if you didn't communicate better? And you should get back on rabbit. I enjoyed talking with you last summer on the site
I voted B.
But you're a lawyer lol. Wheres your voice
I use it professionally. Being a good listener is important to being a lawyer.
If you don't listen very carefully to everything your clients and your opponents say, you can't help them or outmaneuver them.
I listen he talks it works well
What if your partner said they’d leave if you didn't communicate better
Talker. 5000%
What if your partner said they’d leave if you didn't communicate better... aka listen more
Ohh nice
I’m a listener. I don’t talk much.
I don’t like to talk much so I’d rather listen
What if your partner said they’d leave if you didn't communicate better
I communicate if I have an issue and try to solve our issues together. I don’t talk that much on dates or spending time together. It’s hard for me to attempt to be talkative because I feel like it sounds forced. I do respond back to what he says and tell him about my day briefly
I'm more of a listener and an observer.
Haha i see. You fix your mic yet
I think so
Good. I prob be on in 15 mins or so if you're up for it
I'm gonna take a shower first and later I'm gonna join
Ill prob be on for 3 hours or so
oh ok then, there is time
I am more of a listener.
What if your partner said they’d leave if you didn't communicate better
I can do both
Good
Nobody cares for what I have to say so I'm silent.
I want to listen as they talk
What if your partner said they’d leave if you didn't communicate better
I talk little and listen more.
What if your partner said they’d leave if you didn't communicate better
If she wants to leave me just for the sake of little communication I'd happily let her go.. If she tells me politely that we need to have better communication then I'd put my efforts to win her heart.
I'm a listener I hope my partner would be q talker
What if your partner said they’d leave if you didn't communicate better
Then I'd have to try to communicate better what if your partner to you that you have to be a better listener
They have and i try for a few good mins 😂 im better at listening if its a sad story. Im not a “how was your day” kinda girl
I feel you
I like to sit back listen and observe it all
I'm more of a listener
What if your partner said they’d leave if you didn't communicate better
then I'd communicate and still listen
Good
I can do anything
Thats good
I want to listen as they talk
What if your partner said they’d leave if you didn't communicate better
I pretend to listen.
Oh wow. So honest lol
