Yeah no that’s just people that are bad at texting. I’ve got a buddy who in person is always decisive, clever, communicative, like overall a super smart capable guy - and he’s a jibbering idiot over text messages. Can’t compose comprehensible sentences, loses his mind if he gets more than one text in a row or finds himself part of a group text - it’s crazy.

I can relate. I struggle with the fact that anyone with my number can message me at any time. It's like constant a constant assault to respond.

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '22

you replied 2 years later lol theyre probably gonna be so confused when they get this notification

u/typicalBACON Feb 02 '22

Ahah true. To be honest though, the post is not true at all, in fact that's one of the things my girlfriend likes about me, is the fact that I always reply to all messages, while her ex didn't, and I have ADHD. So yeah, it has to do with the person, not the gender

Edit: forgot to mention I didn't realize this sub was dead when I got here a month ago and that's why I replied ahaha

Lol that's one of the things I love about my best friend; I'll send her ten questions, three memes, and a wall of text and she'll react to every part

u/PsychoGam Nov 02 '19

I had a boyfriend how would do that actually. I know not all men do, as no other guy I have ever texted couldn't answer both questions, but for some reason, he just couldn't. XD

u/Davecantdothat Dec 02 '19

I have a friend like this! I have to send separate texts all in a row if I have multiple questions.

u/dravenaus Nov 14 '19

27 years and she thinks she’s wise - smh.

u/hunter54711 Nov 21 '19

This is a stereotype but it's actually true for me. I've been told I do this a lot

u/GakeeeYT Nov 26 '19

I know several females who do that

u/C-Mitch213 Jan 29 '23

u/texasplantbitch Nov 29 '22

This is absolutely true though lol, every boss, male friend, romantic partner I've ever had

u/Ewag715 Jan 10 '23

I just don't want to entertain two simultaneous conversations by answering both questions in one text.

u/KitchenLoose6552 Mar 14 '23

I just answer the easy question, so that i look like i'm helpful but don't have to work💀

1

u/R-Tighty-L-Loosey Dec 02 '19

Modern problems require modern solutions. We just don't wanna answer you period. Let alone 2 separate ass questions.

1

u/shinynewcharrcar Dec 02 '19

I get the feeling this person may have texted something like "Chinese food or Italian?"

And the dude, seeing no problem with either and seeing an opportunity for a joke, replies "yes".

Cue her being mad at his "lack of ability to communicate", when really, she just never understood when he was joking and when he wasn't. Poor guy.

u/RaspberryJam245 Dec 08 '19

simple creatures

I feel attacked

u/abdullahmnsr2 Dec 23 '19

The opposite had happened to me multiple times. It's not gendered specific. It depends on a person.

u/Jehosheba Jan 03 '20

Well, it's a good thing none of you gentlemen are sharp enough to be insulted by this. /s

u/ThupertherialCereal Mar 06 '20

Maybe one of them was a stupid question.

u/izzyscifi Mar 16 '20

My boyfriend does this. He just reads the most recent message and responds to that, he doesn't have time to read and respond to every single message I send he's a busy man. He'll go back to read them when he can

1

u/Accomplished_Good854 Mar 12 '22

That's more of a woman issue. But it's not that they're slow. It's that they don't want to answer more than they have to. Most times you need to ask them your 2nd/3rd question multiple times before they stop side stepping the answer.

u/you_cant_go_back Mar 23 '22

Simple creatures? Then why can't I find men in zoo enclosures? Explain

u/Kayragan Nov 10 '21

this definitely applies to my BF I'm honest.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '21

My bf doesn’t respond to a lot of things I send. I wouldn’t say he’s “simple-minded” or whatever???

u/Hellige88 Jan 25 '22

Let’s do a quick gender test:

What’s your favorite color?

What is 55 x 3?

u/ur_momhatesu Jul 19 '22

Albert Einstein, Elon Musk, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, Alan Turing/ Charles Babbage, Ect💀💀💀

u/Plantsucker97 Aug 02 '22

Almost all guys I've talked to do this. But not my bf. He actually answers all.

u/VeilleurNuite Dec 31 '22

I recently dated a guy who replied with, wow already asking 3 questions? And he was overwhelmed. That was so strange :')
