I think the following anecdote goes a long way to describe the difference between the way guys and girls behave. I have these two friends – a guy and a girl – who live in another country. One of their common friends, A (a girl), was supposed to come down to India for a while.
This is how the two friends convey the information to me.
The girl spends half an hour on the phone describing just how amazing A is and how much fun I would have with her around.
The guy catches me on Google Talk and says, “A is coming. Check your mail. Sent you two pics.”
:D guys just use their resources efficiently!
ReplyDeleteBecause it’s boring to be so matter-of-fact. The fun’s in the details.
ReplyDeletesheesh...if only women would know we zone out for half their conversations when our replies get mono-syllable!

LOL! Totally!! :)
ReplyDelete@epiphany: And girls use their mouths. (Ummm... That didn't come out right.)
ReplyDeleteeveline: I think I've written a post somewhere before about something like this. (Here - http://tinyurl.com/6d232x ) Please do read. You'll understand! :)
mulling over my thoughts: I don't think they'd notice if you stopped answering altogether either. That's sort of my strategy.
@saltwater blues: Yip.
ReplyDeletei only wish A reads this post. =)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha... if only we cud cut a bit of listless talking.. :)
