Lets see, she was “ was going on and on to a male friend about something I can’t even remember anymore”, and she expects him to pay attention to her babbling? How about just shut up?
Exactly what I was thinking. 2 days after it happened and she can't remember what it was she was talking about. It must not have really been that important. Should we say women are inacapable of memorable conversations? Makes as much sense.
“going on and on”, ie, “venting her feelings”.
Not something a guy is really interested in.
Got something we can fix? State the problem, we’ll give you our best solution.
Want to “vent”? That’s not what we’re for. We’ll act like we’re listening, but to us, there’s really no point in it. Just let her talk & “vent”, but don’t waste processing power on it.
I have NO clue your gender, BUT, it does help to read what is actually being said.
So, next time you want to get angry and yell at a guy for "not listening," cut him a little slack – his brain just wasn't made to hear you. My suggestion would be to speak slowly and get to your point fast.
Even I, as a woman, caught that.
