Why is it hard for males to have actual conversations about important matters with a woman? They can go on and on about sports with their friends, but when their girlfriends or other women try to talk about stuff with them, they respond with quick, no-brainer responses like 'yeah' and 'no'...Ahh! It drives me nuts!

Men and women think differently. Women talk for the sake of talking. The communication makes them feel better. When women want to "talk" about "important" matters, it usually means the man is in for a "dressing down" or that the woman wants to talk but doesn't want to solve the problem. Men are linear thinkers. If you bring a problem to us to discuss, we'll try to solve it. If you bring it up again, our attitude is "If you're not going to take our advice and fix the problem, then what's the use in talking about it?" Life's a banquet and most poor bastards are starving to death!

Given that you're 18 and probably talking about a boyfriend rather than a husband, you might simply be wanting to talk about things he doesn't find important. Once you're married, with a mortgage, kids, finances to discuss, etc., you will find that men are completely capable of discussing the things that matter. Shopping and handbags...not so much.
