All they wanted to talk about is the out houses you know the Johnny on the spot that is used on the jobs. I like to read the comic strips that people would leave on the wall about who was the person to call on the wall for the best pussy in town or the guy with a dick as long as a horse. So I decided it was time to sit at a table to my lonesome. What a conversation when someone is trying to eat. One thing that gets to me is when someone lets a fart or blows their nose when you are trying to eat. What table manners but I don't dine there anymore. One time I was sitting at one restaurant and I was informed by one employee that this one customer had head lice and was picking nits out of hair. I was sitting around her in another booth. You talk about someone getting a jar of mayonnaise and washing her hair. This should be the topic of the day. Years ago I use to go into this restaurant and sit at this table with guys.

Have you ever really listened to a room full of really, really old people at a social function? Man, are they good at small talk and that's way before they reach the medical aches and pains subject matter! I think that there is a generational gap in social skills that some of us can't even approach without this kind of experience. Good thing that we have this site...

Sometimes I just tire of people and talking in general and go somewhere tranquil to relax and retune myself to nature. I think that too many people in modern society allow their minds to become clogged with random thoughts and comlicated with information overload. I enjoy solitude, so do maNY.

When you listen more you learn more. I have noticed that they are people who I call loners. They like to remain to themselves only allow certain ones in their space. I am like that at times when I want to be alone. I have been told silence is golden. When you listen more you learn more. I have noticed that they are people who I call loners.

I agree with Elle on that you don't have to be talking all the time, and sometimes I do prefer to be the odd man out; I just don't feel like talking to everyone all the time. I can only be festive and talkative when I feel like doing so, but the environment might have something to do with it. Then are times where I might feel like getting into conversations, but I'm shut out. Perhaps interest in conversation subject has a lot to do with it, and I think I'll observe to see if that is the case next time. I agree with Elle about the strong, silent type, but I don't know if most women are drawn to that. At some point, you have to be willing to go and talk to people if you want to have friends and relationships, but being silent can work at times; just be very well dressed that is unique to you. (Yes, being well-dressed does make a difference, and it might be the difference between having a group of women approach you or having a boring night. I can testify to that.) At least there's hope for people who are a bit more reserved. :) Dave Thanks for the comments guys.

I totally agree when compliments are sincere, and inquisitive, people love to open up! I don't like the winter, but love the summer. And D. those summer bootcamps brings back lot of good memories.

Most women are drawn to the strong silent type anyway! There will be a lull in the conversation eventually, and that's the time to ask an interesting question - or give a compliment. I open up a lot of conversations just by complimenting someone else...works like magic.

Or they see how much time they have left before going onto the next topic. We are all governed by time. Or maybe they are late for a date. Who knows but in some situations it is not polite to look at watch. Maybe it is just that you are not interested in the topic and have nothing to say. Maybe they are clock watchers.

If you are one like M who can turn on the energy and get it fun at the end go for it. The best dinner parties I have been to is the ones with great moderator personalities at the end who can get everyone engaged. Yes Dave hates when it happens that you feel you are watching the clock, but when that in have happend it's often because I have not engaged myself into what they are talking about. Doesn't matter if it really interest me or not. A long way goes enthusiasm for others passions and and you might just learn something from it. 3 second rule eye contact, if that does not work hope you have someone like Sandra next to you who can put the plates on fire with some table top dance. just comes back to knowing who you are and what you are up to that night.
