From a past thread:
I have no trouble talking about myself!
For instance, I can talk about my favorite color. Most men like either black or blue as their favorite color. I try to be a little different. So I say my favorite to be black and blue <wink, wink>. I suppose I am also a bit indecisive at times.
And I can talk about my favorite college football team! Wohoo! I can recite their stats for the last five years off the top of my head. And if you want to know something from seven years ago, no problem. I have a folded sheet of paper in my wallet that has the archives. And I also have an autograph of Johnny Blue in my wallet! Who is he? He almost got onto the Texas team as a place kick holder! How many people can make that claim? And I can talk about where I was when Texas won the Rose Bowl. And I can talk about where I was when Texas beat Kansas* two years go. I mean not that that game was as big as the Rose Bowl but I remember so I might as well share, right?
And I can talk about my car! How much horsepower it has. And how quickly it goes from 0 to 25. And I can talk about the time I went out and spun my tires as I turned corners! I could keep a woman entertained for hours. I have so many exciting stories to tell. And I won't just bore someone with words alone. I have photos of my car in my wallet! The engine, the tires. You would feel like you have known the car for years.
And I love to talk about my tools. Last time I was on a date I talked about my tools. Wait....was it.....yes, that's right. I'm sorry, that was 4 years ago so it's a little hard to remember. Anyway, I think my date was intimidated and overwhelmed by my extensive knowledge and expertise about tools. I think she was conscious that she was not able to contribute to the conversation much because she was reluctant to see me again. I guess not all of them can keep up with you, huh?
And I love my Ham radio! I think they are not as popular amongst women as they are amongst men. But if women learned more about them, they would love them as much as men! And that's where I come in. I am just a wealth of information for women. I can draw a diagram of a Ham radio on a dinner napkin with the flux capacitor and everything in no time. And I love to draw diagrams on dinner napkins. That's why I don't go to any place that has cloth dinner napkins. Anyway, one time I was drawing a Ham radio diagram and the waitress came by to fill the iced tea. I thought she might also like to know how they work so I got her attention. I said, hey I was explaining here how this radio works and I thought you might also like to know....you see this thing here...it goes to this thing...
You should have seen the confused, surprised expression on her face. She was astounded by my act of kindness and that someone--a stranger--would volunteer to explain all that to her for nothing. But she was very responsible. She did not stay for even two words because she said she had customers waiting.
So anyway. Who wants to know more about me?
Cheers,
Sea

RE: OMG! How do you get these boys to talk?! -

), I know you're capable of having witty and intelligent conversations where you have no problem holding up your end of things. I'd suggest that common ground and shared interests are what you're seeking when you begin to talk with these men. If you can't get their active participation or find these things fairly quickly, it may be best to move on.
