Are there subjects that should not be discussed in a conversation between a Man and a woman?

Question

Recently I had a conversation with a male acquaintance which varied in subjects. At some point he shared an anecdote about a reoccuring situation with his neighbour WHO turned out to be a prostitude and the conversation drifted to an exchange on why women decide to do this job. Don't get me wrong IT was devoid of any dirty talk and IT never made me feel uncomfortable, but I started wondering if I should have gone along with IT. Is IT a subjects that a woman should engage in with a Man? Are there topics that should be avoided in a male-female convo?

I think so. I think most people think prostitution is morally wrong, whether or not they think it should be legal.

Unless you’re a low life degenerate. Why would you defend it? Sure people may have their own reasons for doing it. But there are other ways to make money. As far as the man’s part of it (because it takes two) Aww poor guy is lonely. Maybe he should stop being a man whore if he wants a halfway decent woman.

Now there is aspects of sex trafficking. Some are victims and others are doing it by choice. That’s a whole other conversation.

But. Nonetheless. I think having conversations that are civil over topics we disagree on should be important

If you’re both single, then anything and everything is pretty much fine.

If one of you is taken, and the other isn’t, then one should be careful when confiding in the someone of the opposite sex without their partner knowing — it’s a common occurrence to go to someone else other than your partner for emotional support, and an affair developing — so one should be careful about that.

If who you’re talking to IS your partner, then don’t bring up their ex or past trauma unless they want to talk about it. Allow them to bring it up themselves.

Ultimately it should all depend on who you're talking to and how comfortable you are talking to them and about what. If any conversation makes you feel uncomfortable, speak up. If you're OK with it, as you were, then keep it going.

A lot depends on how well you know the person you are talking to. How comfortable do you feel with this person... But, in general, I can't imagine any topic which should be taboo in conversations between women and men.

Sonorous · Answer

I believe we should always be open to discussing things. But there are many topics that maybe shouldn't be discussed between an immature man or woman. Because they won't be able to do it in constructive ways.

No topics are off-limits but politics and religion should be treaded carefully.

Certain (deep) feelings.

I can almost swear it is universal, that women lose respect (attraction) for their man/boyfriend/husband when the topic feelings reaches certain (sensitive) aspects.

It ends up with something like "he's not as manly as he seemed" or "i want a man, not a girl/sissy/whatever" and then either dump him or cheat on him.

Otherwise it's "macho toxic alpha male bullshit" until it isn't, at which point the risk has been realized. Where's the sweet middle ground? It is no wonder men are feigning it all.

Anonymous · Answer

I think men and women should be able to talk and come to objective conclusions, where their personal feelings need not apply.

Just because you want to have all these options at your fingertips, because it’s advantageous to you and getting your own wants and needs validated at any time, it doesn’t make it right.

NathanDavis · Answer

I don't have an specifically imposed limitation, no...

to me, it is about the person I speak and share with, if they do not wish, don't want, don't need or just don't like to discuss certain things or topics... then we just don't do it and it's not a problem...

the same goes for men and women... in my case

If you want to date seriously leading to wedding then avoid topics like religion, politics, feminism, patriarchy, etc. Serious topics would break your hearts and relationships. Even if you have difference of opinions then don't take it personally. Share the knowledge, opinions on the topics, enjoy the conversation and appreciate each other's intelligence.

Talk only about likes, dislikes, interests, hobbies, career goals, education, babies, family planning, financial planning, etc.

Well somethings you get the perspective or answer you are not going to like. Men and women view certain topics under different contexts.

SphynxUK · Answer

If the conversation is flowing and neither of you feel uncomfortable, any subject is OK to discuss.

The limit on topics is by degree of familiarity and circumstances. You wouldn't talk about genital warts on a first date anymore than you'd say a dead baby joke at a funeral for a miscarriage

Astarlessnightsky · Answer

Nope, discuss whatever you want with whoever you want.

4ngelic · Answer

no unless one of you isn't single. in that case just avoid sex stuff

nawtee_me · Answer

I think if both people are okay with the subject then talking about it is fine. I don’t think any subject should be off limits to mix sex conversation just because of sex.
