We’ve been seeing each other for a little while. The sex is good but the conversation sucks. It always comes back to you. If I try to tell you something about my day it’s always “That’s great. Hey (insert something about yourself here, which we will then talk about at great length).” Not worth it anymore. This will end soon. -Bored Of Your Life

end your story with an open ended question. it forces the listener to engage about your issue, relating directly to what you’ve just spoken about.
I work with a fella who (oddly enough is in a management position) has absolutely no listening skills. He’s so consumed with his inner monologue he simply can’t focus on anything else.
It’s a learned skill, most of us mastered by grade Primary. There are those unfortunates who managed through it somehow.
Bitching about it is not the solution. This person needs to learn a skill. Use positive rewards, even as simple as a smile or a soft touch when they do it right.
Try it. You’ll notice a difference immediately!
Nah, this isn’t a skill-lacking issue. OB has to learn that s/he is simply a “piece” in the (perceived) relationship and has failed to realize that fact…
Enjoy the fuck and more on.
Who wants to have sex with me!
I recomend you go listen to Chris Rock’s stand up about marriage on youtube, it explains a lot and even though it pokes at women in the relationship, it deals with what you’re bitching about. I’ll paraphrase a little and just say “hahahah you think you’re the only one with that problem?”
Everyone wants to have sex with you Braw, just tell us where the line up starts.
The line starts with me, then Haz, Kitty, Klyde, me, Katy Perry, Klyde and me…
I’ve got a friend who’s like that.. we don’t have sex, but yeah, she’s an asshole. She will ask me about a problem I have, and then turn the converstaion about a problem SHE has that is similar or completely opposite.. As long as it is about her, it’s an interesting conversation.. for her. I feel your pain. I express myself through subliminal statuses 🙂
Tell him he looks prettier when he keeps his gob shut.

I appreciate the offer, but I’m not really fussy on sloppy Joe’s, so I don’t think I’d like these sloppies either. Thanks for keeping me in mind though my friend.
I feel for ya when you have to be on the 60. I liken that to having to endure excruciating pain being on the 52. I’ve had the misfortunes of being on both. Remember to keep that video I sent to you on another thread near and dear to you to use as needed when a situation arises that you need to excavate a fellow seat mate away from you on the 60. Play it and let er rip, that’ll move them, lol.

I hope your avatar isn’t an example of venue if you want people to have sex with you, doesn’t look too appealing to me.
It is the wave of the future, because this has become a me, myself, and I world. Get used to it, and good luck finding someone who thinks of others with compassion.
Yours truly.
wheels, that seems an odd sentiment from you considering your view on another post about ‘minding your own business’.
