what do men like to talk about?

Question

If i am going to get into the ''dating'' scene. again...what do men like to talk about? what do they like to hear about? I don't want to be the kind of girl that talks about myself and i believe in being considerate and open about subjects. But i don't want someone who talks about themselves all the time either..there has to be a ''dance'' of sort in conversation..i just am curious as to what is in the mind of men as to what they are thinking when they go out with a woman and what they feel like..etc....thanks

Answer 1

it really honestly depends if they are already on their career path stuff related to that. if they are still working towards a career they are more open to talk about anything. But its ok to not know what they are talking about asking questions is part of conversation. most comfortable subjects include film TV current events. sports . usually most good guys are more interested in hearing what you have to say then talking about themselves but there really are hardly any subjects that are taboo to men .

Answer 2

Why not talk about things you like and that way if you meet someone who also likes those things you'll already have something in common. Be honest. Don't have some cheesy canned conversation.

Not all guys are car and sports obsessed so forget talking about sports or anything you you don't truly like. Do you really want to be locked into talking about sports for the entire relationship?

And what do you do when he finds out you don't really like those subjects. He's going to wonder why you brought them up if you don't like them. And then you'll be back here asking why you and your BF have nothing in common and all he wants to talk about is sports.

Answer 3

Let's reverse the gender on that one. What do women like to talk about. What does anyone want to talk about?
Themselves. What they do for a living? What do you like/dislike about your job? What classes they're taking? What was their childhood like,What were your parents or siblings like? What are your dreams about the future? where would you like to go on vacation?
What are they looking forward to? How will they spend the next holiday? what are your interests? Hobbies? Read anything lately? Preferences in TV programs?Do you ever listen to public radio? What have you done in life that you felt was an achievement? Is there a course that you would like to take over again now that you are older? If you won a thousand dollars in the state lottery, what would you do with the money? How about a hundred thousand? Do you have a favorite book, author, poem, song, symphony?
What do you like to eat? Do you do any cooking? Do you remember any particular food from childhood that was your favorite? How do you feel about your ability to keep house? Do you follow a particular sport or team? Describe the ideal woman for you.

Draw him out. Watch to see if he reciprocates, does he dominate the conversation? Ask questions that elucidate what he does with his spare time and money. Find out how he treats his family. See if he's happy with his work.

A salesman told me once, "After extensive research I can clearly conclude that if you can't talk to them afterwards, there is no point in going to bed with them." It goes both ways.

Shall I go on? Would you prefer to organize those questions yourself, or should I put them in order for you? Oh yeah, don't use all of these at once.

Answer 4

Especially on a first date or meeting ,guys just like to learn about the girl. What she likes, what she hates what her recent history is (without going into private details) and above all they like to hear the truth. Be yourself and most guys will be rapt that you took the time to talk to them or agreed to go out with them. Don't talk about sports etc if your not really interested in them because it will not ring true and then make the guy feel that your struggling to make a connection with him. Talk about things you are interested in and if he does the same I am sure you are on the right path to having a good time. Just relax and enjoy yourself. good luck.

Answer 5

It's not the subject of the conversation so much as who I am talking to. Pick a subject you know a little bit about and see if you connect.

I don't like to talk about work or myself too much, and I don't usually like a heavy, philosophical discussion. Politics and current news items are usually good. Again, for me it's more who I am with.

By the way, none of the guys above said they talk about sex, just the women. (Think about yes, talk about it, not really)

Answer 6

If you could intellegently talk about sports that would put you ahead of 95% of a women as a conversationalist in the eyes of most men.

Answer 7

Contrary to common belief, men are individuals. Aside from wanting to hump just about every mildly attractive female we see, we all are very different in our likes. Find out what he is into. What does he do at work? What does he do for fun? Yadda yadda yadda.

Answer 8

Men like to talk about themselves. Ask questions. Listen closely. He will eventually tell you more about himself than he intends. It's the best way to weed out the psychos.

Answer 9

hard to say conversation is adaptation so start with talking casual things about what you like & he's face & body action will tell, but whatever dont talk religion & politics until later when you know what labels he's under

Answer 10

Ask him what he's into...cars, motorcycles, sports, tv, favorite movie, and so on. From the information he gives you, you can figure out what he's into. Hopefully, he doesn't ramble on about himself...good luck, and have fun!
