Recently I've had several disturbing interactions with women that have really bothered me.
3 times in the last 2 weeks I've been drawn into conversations with women who would otherwise be totally attractive, except they won't let me talk!
To me, the "normal" process is supposed to go like this:
1)I ask question
2)They answer question with story or anecdote.
3)I comment on what they said and return with anecdote of my own to show I understand their point.
4)They ask question of me
Repeat
Lately though I've had a pattern more like this:
1)I ask question
2)They answer question with story or anecdote
3)I respond with something like "Yeah, I know what you mean, I remember this one time.."
4)Woman cuts me off and starts on new thread or new story or whatever without letting me finish.
5)Listen for a moment
6)Go to respond
7)Get cut off and woman continues a conversation with herself until she gets bored and goes to her phone.
I'm beginning to wonder if online communications are damaging the way humans interact. I'm starting to feel I would make more progress if I just sat next to a woman and texted with her rather than used voice communication. lol
