    I don't see many ladies, what did you talk to your girlfriend or wife about when you first met them?
    The things I enjoy talking about are history, specifically the early medieval period, the gym and television dramas.

    They are like a different species to me.

    women love to talk about themselves. Try that.

    Try to learn a bit about kitchen appliances, hoovers, Channing Tatum, the movies of Jude Law, loose women. That should get you through the first year

    Women are like tractors, if they're no good for dragging turf they're not much good for fcuk all.

    "How to limit cracking in concrete caused by thermal shock".

    Concrete cracks, it can't be prevented. It can however be reduced so as to be 'invisible' to the naked eye with the correct specification, quality control during production and knowledgeable site technique.

    Those ones are well suited to lads who do love to drag knuckles.

    Talk to them about food, especially fast food and nice things.They pretend to only eat kale and carrot chips but they are really savages just like us men but only eat like a savage in private.

    The first lady you see will be impressed if you show her you have a double cheese burger inside your coat or man bag.

    Knuckle draggers are no good for fcuk all anywhere, bog or otherwise.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    Off the top of my head, Things my boyfriend talked to me about when we didn't know each other very well:

    Chips. WHere to buy proper chips, not the machine cut, frozen ones.

    Places we'd both been to and lived in, and what we thought of them.

    Mutual acquaintances, and what we thought of them.

    Our parents, '' '' '' '' '' ''.

    Clothes.

    History and architecture. The weirder the better. Lost / uncontacted tribes. Cannibals.

    You could try impressing the girlies with a bit of a dance:

    They can be grand but we have to make sure they aren't too thick or they will be like nappies. Tell her to do the tight legging test just in case.

    Talk to them about their intolerance they've all got them. Bread, sugar, whole milk, gluten that kinda thing, if you catch one eating white bread give it 5 minutes then tell them how bloated it's made them look, make sure to comment on how fat their head looks now.
    Give it 3mts and you'll have your own skinny chick that's cheap to take on a date.

    Oh she wears the nappie like pads to bet, but at any other time they're suited to day time usage.

    specifically the early medieval period,

    Thinly veiled "I like weird sex" :pac:

    All joking aside OP chat away as you would to anyone as long as you are being a half decent human being. Us women are different in many ways to you men but we both have feelings and hopes and dreams :)

    Myself and himself talk about politics, architecture, books, movies, my work, his work. psychology, people we know, whatever floats our boat. It would be handy if the woman you were chatting with shared some of your interests but not the end of the world if she doesn't.

    Ah heavy flow at night can cause leakage so best to be safe.

    Learn how to play a few songs on the guitar and bring it to house parties. :pac:

    Isn't science their strong point? Definitely go with science. And advanced mathematics. And the rigours of logic. This will get them talking son.

    But seriously, with female friends and aquaintances we would usually just talk about pleasant stuff, relationships with various people etc. Its nice for a while but, as a man, it will be weird soon enough. Remember hanging out lots with a female friend (living abroad) and I was surprised at how emotional I was becoming.

    Just talk to them like they're really small men.

    Unless they are bigger than you, then don't bother talking to them.

    ... It would be handy if the woman you were chatting with shared some of your interests but not the end of the world if she doesn't.

    If she doesn't then he's going to have to start boning up on the X Factor. They'll be married for eight years until they stop having sex and then they'll divorce because they have nothing else in common.

    Jaysus yeah I'd forgotten about the sex. That will definitely dry up.

    I always ask them who their favourite serial killer is. I usually find it's a good opener. I'm a Bundy fan myself, very prolific.

    Or you could just pretend they're men, but men you may want to have sex with - you know the type.

    Plan who gets to rule over what when you launch your joint scheme for world domination. See whether you fundamentally disagree on the things you will immediately ban (Fish. People who talk like Rachel Allen. And Rachel Allen). Fight over which one of you is Pinky and which one is The Brain.


    That kind of stuff. And the weather.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,647 ✭✭✭lazybones32


    I'd advise not to bother...once they start, you'll be back here questioning on how to get them to shut up.
    Don't get me wrong, I love women ... but yak, yak, yak.......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,657 ✭✭✭somefeen


    If they're worth talking to then you don't really have to think of something to talk about. If you click you click.
    I ended up in a relationship with a girl I met at a party a few years ago. I was telling her about the use of eddy currents to separate metals at waste treatment facilities.
    Apparently I'm sexy when I talk about random stuff I find interesting.

    Just work what you are interested in into conversation.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 19,242 Mod ✭✭✭✭L.Jenkins


    You'd swear women need to come with prompt cards regarding discussion :P I know ladies who love ripping the piss out of everyone.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 652 ✭✭✭DanielODonnell


    Women shouldn't be talking about periods and tampons infront of men, it is wrong.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,203 ✭✭✭Jack the Stripper


    Keep the wine flowing, be grand.
