AliciaParticipantAre guys interested in girls who are always talking, or in shy girls who don’t talk very much?

Augustine23581ParticipantMy wife of nine years, Polish by birth, is a quiet, reflective woman whose spare use of words (by American standards, anyway) is sometimes misinterpreted as unfriendliness. To be sure, talkative people exist everywhere, but most Americans combine extreme talkativeness with very poor listening skills. On the other hand, Poles tend to be considerably less talkative and are very good listeners. In a group setting, when one person is talking, everyone else stays quiet and gives that person their undivided attention. The first time an American in Poland is exposed to this, it is very unsettling and feels more like tribal storytelling! I find my wife’s reflectiveness to be a refreshing antidote, and now that I’ve grown used to this, I find it very annoying when others constantly announce what they are thinking and doing at any given moment.

Charles32244ParticipantNeither of the two extremes. Someone in the middle.

Rick29806ParticipantEvery guy’s different, but someone between the two extremes of talking too much and hardly talking at all would probably be most appealing to most guys. If I had to choose between the two extremes, I would choose the shy woman.

SeymourParticipantI am a shy guy, so the girls I prefer are just the opposite. Furthermore, I am the type of person to feed off other people’s energy, so I guess you could say I like a talkative/energetic female. Of course, none of this will matter if the words she says aren’t anything nice. Personality is more important than anything else, whether she talks a lot or not.

Alex29043ParticipantNeither in particular. I like a girl because of who they are. If a girl yammers all the time, very little of it contains actual content, so I stop listening. If she never says anything, I can’t get to know her. Just be yourself, open up and say what comes naturally. If nothing comes naturally, just respond to what the guy says. If he’s shy, talk about what’s going on around you or ask questions. But on the talkative/shy issue, err on the side of talkative.

JoshParticipantIf you’re asking becasue you want to know if you should talk, or if you shouldn’t, I’d say do what feels right. Don’t worry about what some guy thinks. If you have something to say, then say it. Use your own discretion. I don’t think any decent, strong relationship was won or lost based on one person talking too much. They say communication is the key to a good relationship, so talk. if the guy doesn’t want to communicate, then he doesn’t want a relationship, so lose him.

DominicParticipantDepends entirely what they have to say, and their attitude to life. Sometimes silence can communicate so much, so deeply; at other times words can do it all. So both. Depends more what’s in their heart than on their tongue.

Ken-BennettParticipantI prefer a balance. Few people enjoy another who rattles on. Likewise, I find a too quiet individual offputting. Where personal male/female relations are concerned, conversation should be used to communicate rather than manipulate. No one likes to feel bombarded. If you think you’re talking too much, you probably are. Hope this helps.

Mixcoatl20277ParticipantFrom my point of view, I prefer talkative girls because it means they show interest for me, and if they are quiet, it might seem to me they are unconfortable with my presence or topic. So girls should be talkative as long as they are good listeners, therefore we can build a better relationship.
