Do You Prefer To Text Or Talk?

Question

SoWhAt249 · Accepted Answer

I prefer to text because I feel like I am more comfortable with pauses between replies. Like if you talk, and sometimes I need like a few seconds to think before I reply, and those pauses make me feel really uncomfortable. Also, I believe I can be more constructive and give richer replies while texting because I feel like I can quickly research something while I'd have to stay in awkward silence, researching during talking.
Like it took me like 4 mins to write this answer which really takes 30 seconds to read, but imagine how awkward it would be for me to take 4 minutes to say these handful of words while actually talking... So yeah. That's my reason for texting preference.

Talking is faster and I can't do the stupid texting thing. Because my phone is on my wall in my hallway and the other is one my desk

I prefer texting over talking. I'm always texting my friends. I'd say I send out on average around 35-50 texts a day. I do talk on the phone, though. Especially to my mom because she really isn't into the whole texting thing. Or even my grandparents.

Depends. Texting is for quick convenient less important conversation that can be shelved and picked up later.

Conversation is priority

I’d say the each serve different purposes and one is not a substitute for the other

Talk, too much can get misunderstood over text. Your missing the other person's tone and could easily misunderstand a message.

Video chat <3

Girls these days seem to prefer texting.. I dislike it sort of.. can't read a tone of voice and it's more fake in a sense that people can type one thing, think about it then deleting it and type something else.. phone calls and video chats are more on the spot where one can't bs as easily.

SuperManiac · Answer

Talk, in person, though I might prefer some texting to lengthy phone calls. I rely heavily on body language for communication (both in terms of expressing what I want to express, and in understanding her better).

DarthGarth · Answer

Talking, way better.
Texting can allow you to say things you wouldn't normally say, but conversions are more than what we say with words its the smallest twitch of a smile that lets you know their still interested or a slight sigh that tells you your boring them but their to polite to say anything.

JimmyNeutron777 · Answer

I definitely prefer to talk. Texting is way to open to misinterpretation/misunderstanding. Also talking takes less time usually but when you do get into long debates its also usually more rewarding than texting if you are both reasonable people who are capable of hearing each other out. For me texting is for the times you can't talk. Hope this helps.
