I kinda think that technology (internet, cell phone, emails, text msgs, IM’s) has truly taken away the beauty of dating…thus not letting you all really get to know the knigga who you are dealing with. I believe it has critically wounded communication all together. Especially those in long distance relationships…what ever happened to a good ole letter to let a person know how you feel about them? What happened to a conversation on the phone????. Now’adays, we’ll just text or email a person in a heartbeat, thus just rambling on about any ol’ thing that comes to our mind. Back in the day mu’fukkas had to put some sorta effort into dating a chick or being a girl’s boyfriend. I feel sorry for tha cats coming up nowadays because they really dont know how to communicate with women. They do so much texting, and emailing that having true communication is out the window. I am teaching my son how to be smooth. I am teaching him how to talk to girls. He picks the phone up so quick to send text messages instead of picking up the phone and placing a call and having a real conversation with a girl.
I remember staying on the phone talking for hours to chics about everything but really about nothing. Those were the good ole days.
My question to you??..do you think that technology has made dating/relationships to easy or am I just talking shit??
Dude that is TRUTH! Technology has abbreviated our communications, and just straight stunted peoples ability to actually get close to someone. I mean…how close can you get when you dont have to be accountable for what you say…because you typed it? Very nice post!
How come you didnt tell me you posted ???
You already know my thoughts on this! I am thankful we see eye 2 eye on this and we have great communication amongst us! This was a good post honey!
I agree. Relations between men and women are spoiled because many don’ t want to make the effort to communicate on the real. I mean texts using don’t have the depth of actual conversations. Texting and emailing can spice up a relationship grounded in true, intimate communication.
I think it’s been detrimental to relationships that don’t already have a good foundation (like ones i’ve been in). Who hasn’t gotten caught up in some cell phone foolishness?
As far as texting goes I can never really tell what someone is feeling through a text, unless they say… “I feel ******”. Even with this blogging thing, sometimes I have to go back and let the reader of my comment know “I didn’t mean it THAT way!”
I completely agree. Texting should be small deposits you make through out the day when you can’t talk to your boo on the phone but it shouldn’t be a substitue for face to face or telephone conversation. It’s a cop out some men use and unfortunately a lot of women have bought into it. My dude text me all the time and although I appreciate some form of communication I hate that he does this more than talking to me on the phone. I HATE IT!!!!!
