Women: do you ever find that your boyfriend doesn't want to chit chat as much as you?

I have been with my partner for quite a long time and I realised a while ago that he doesn't like chit chat. It just seems to be in his nature.

Are men like this in general?
 
Yea men are naturally less sociable than women. I don't like to chit chat because A) I don't have time B)There's nothing worth talking about C) It's boring. But I do like to talk when I have alcohol after all my work is done and the suns gone down. ;)
 
I've kno many men who love to talk, myself included. Some guys will talk about nothing for hours. Men rarely "talk to get a point across", some talk to hear themselves talk some talk because the like being friendly. I don't think I've ever meet a man who didnt enjoy talking.
 
Gah. Sometimes I have to tell my husband to just SHUT UP about what he saw on TV, or what he did at the farm. My husband and daughter talk for about an hour each day on the phone (she's in another state, thank Og for unlimited Sprint to Sprint calls). Some people like to chit chat. Some don't. Some go back and forth. I enjoy a good natter if I haven't seen a friend or relative in a while, but I can't tolerate too much of it every day. And I enjoy discussing things almost all the time. But I generally don't like just mindless chatter, whereas a lot of people, men and women both, seem to enjoy endless discussions about sports, TV shows, and the weather. Since I don't follow sports and don't watch TV, for the most part my small talk is about the weather.

Most men WILL chit chat about things that interest them. And so will most women. But there are individuals of both sexes who don't really care for that activity.
 
My last ex HATED to listen to me talk. And yet...when he opened his mouth he could (and would) go on for hours, and not wanting to be in the slightest bit rude, I would listen without interrupting or making him feel like he wasn't being listened to.

I like peace and quiet as much as the next person, maybe even more. What I don't like is having something important that I'm trying to convey be belittled by someone who supposedly cares about me. To me, that conveys the opposite message.
 
oo yes. i got married 7 months ago and before that 5 years of dating.
boys are weird. :)
men like intersting topics, so make sure to ask questions and be cheerful:)
 
Yes, most men aren't big on chit chat or small talk. When it comes to something they're interested in or want to expound on, they're great talkers. This is why I have pets--they usually care about listening to me.
 
Actually, this is the reason why I hate the company of other women. They are always talking about their bodies and how other (absent) women are dressed, etc.

I used to have a colleague who would spend hours declaiming in a high-pitched voice what she bought for dinner, how she cooked it and what comments hubby and kiddies had made on her cooking skills. Also women talking about how many nappies their babies fill and how many burps they let out, etc. are extremely boring.

I had two kids, but I never spoke about them because I consider such conversations absolutely useless. What is the point of saying this? Worse: What is the point of knowing what your neighbour's has been up to?

I also hate shopping. But I am proud of my man's brain. It's helped me climb the professional ladder. Sorry girls!

This being said, men love my company. I can talk politics. They love it.
