Curiosity Question

[Blush]

I'll talk to anyone whether they're single or married. I didn't join the forum looking for a girlfriendboyfriend though, I just wanted people to talk to.

Yep, me too.

I was just wondering because a few of the conversations I've had with women have been short lived and I got the sense it was because I'm not male. It's not a guess, I can't say how I know but I do. I'm wondering if most people are secretly wanting to talk more to the opposite sex on these forums and people are less inclined to PM with someone of the same sex as a friend. And also if single people in general are less interested in talking to a married person. I've had two or three unmarried women completely rip my head off on here when I tried to talk to them or help them because they were unhappy (because of being alone I think). I guess it doesn't matter to them if someone is not in the greatest marriage. I got the feeling from what they said that they take it as "You're married and I'm not so shut up because that means you're not as lonely as I am!" to put it in the plainest terms. Being with someone no matter how imperfect it is qualifies me for alienation here possibly? What do you think?

I would say your observations are not too far off. At least from my perspective.

I always prefer to talk to the opposite sex anyway, well almost always. I find them easier to talk to.

Being friends with guys for some reason, it just fizzles out a lot faster, usually. Or I disagree with them on something--it can even be a minor thing--and they get annoyed, and fast. Once that happens, that's usually it for me, it's over.

I'm just curious, are people less likely to talk to someone new regularly if that person already has a partner in real life? Do you prefer to chat with someone single over someone already taken? Please think about it for a second and then vote honestly. I'm wondering if people like to keep their options open and mostly chat with someone emotionally available over someone who's not available. You don't need to identify yourself by posting anything if you don't want to, but a vote would be appreciated. I'm curious about this.

I'm going to try and add on a poll if I can, never done it before. If I can't manage it, no need to reply I'm not that computer savvy, yikes.

It makes no difference to me but I did notice the same thing as you, that women prefer to talk to men and vice versa.

I have always wondered the same thing too....

Anyway I voted it doesn't bother me. I really would love to make more female companionship.. just different talking to a girl. I've made some really good lady friends here and I'm quite happy.

I'd like to add another point of insight that just hit me. I originally thought this question was open ended, as in talking to a single/married woman period.

A lot of people are answering it as it pertains to this forum. If you're on this site you are here because you are lonely. Many of you for companionship. You either have little to no experience with the other sex, or just issues in general. People like that would of course heavily prefer talking to someone of the other sex. There's also the fact that if you're on this forum you may have a situation arise, or personal issues you want to talk about. You have your own sex's point of view, but you're probably interested in what might be going on in the other sex's head. Girls are from venus boys are from mars.

It's interesting to note that 116 people have viewed this poll and only 8 have voted. I wonder why.

I voted for the single one but really don't mind either way !

same here. I have always felt lonely and I am interested in people who are lonely. I don't expect to meet anybody on here.

I'm only here so that I can vent out my feelings which I can't/don't do in real life. So don't really care about relationship status of the person who I am talking to.:shy:

 

[Drew88]

When I am single I can not stand taking to another peer who is in a relationship. Its depressing.

 

[AlexChristy]

I don`t care if the person is married or single.
But single persons often find love. I`m not going to find love here, `cause I`m married and have a baby.
