nutrlivingwell View Profile History	Men that Pressure for Phone Calls Posted : 23 Oct, 2010 07:21 PM Hello Gentlemen...Id like to get another guys perspective on why men persist to talk to you on the phone vs answer further questions about themselves online. Takes me a while to be comfortable to give my number out and Ive had guys not continue to conversation because I wanted to get to know them first...said it would take too much typing???Am I missing something??? Puzzled !!!! Thanks Post Reply
View Profile History	Men that Pressure for Phone Calls Posted : 24 Oct, 2010 05:09 AM For someone I met on the internet, I would be really really careful about giving my phone number. Unless I am very sure about this guy, I wouldn't give out my number. If he said that he was uncomfortable with indirect communications such as emails, texts, etc, then you two could go to Skype and talk through the internet. Yahoo messenger and msn could do it well also. Just remember that many weirdos are here on the cyber world. Post Reply

They want to pass Go, collect the $200, and have a free get out of jail card too. As well, men tend to want the arms of many women to find love, women tend to want the arms of one man to find love. The good news is that all men are not the same. There are still a few who see responsible communication, trust, and commitment as the basis for a healthy successful relationship. Post Reply

This is how some people make their money. This is why not only should you be cautious about your phone# but also your email address. It would be a good idea to goggle" spammers" to get a idea of their tactics. I know this will help you, but it will have the unfortunate side effect of making you skeptical. In fact since just about everyone who has been on dating sites has a good scammer or spammer story. Hmmmmm......perhaps the makings of a new thread??? Post Reply

DontHitThatMark View Profile History	Men that Pressure for Phone Calls Posted : 24 Oct, 2010 08:57 AM Yeah....I had one girl that gave me her phone number after like...the second or third email. It kinda threw me off, and I told her "you know I could be a serial killer/rapist and know I'm one step closer to finding out everything about you, right?". So...I'm one of those guys that waits like...3-5 months before calling/handing out my phone number. I don't know what message number that would be, but I know it's a scary place out there for the ladies. If he really wants to talk on the phone, let him give you his number and then just block your's when you call him. *67 I think. :peace::peace: Post Reply
SilverFire View Profile History	Men that Pressure for Phone Calls Posted : 24 Oct, 2010 10:11 AM I guess it all goes back to what do you mean by "pressure". Depending on how you feel about the guy, "pressure" could be "pursuit", at least if all the books yelling about men to man up are right, right? The internet is a great way to meet people, but when you spend all your time there with the other person, you get a very distorted impression of them. That's why guys who are wise or twitterpated will "pressure" you for your phone number and then "pressure" you to meet. After all, aren't we looking for a godly relationship here? Emailing back and forth isn't a relationship. That's why I "pressure" for a phone call after two weeks, and then, depending on distance, try to meet the person pretty soon after that. Post Reply
Tulip89 View Profile History	Men that Pressure for Phone Calls Posted : 24 Oct, 2010 11:18 AM I'll be honest, if a girl wanted to talk to me for 3-5 months on here without meeting, much less giving me her phone number, I'd be gone. Granted, I was only after local women, and long distance is different, but there is no harm in meeting a guy for a cup of coffee. That said, I did get creeped out by a girl who gave me her number in the first email she sent me (and then viewed my profile like 30 times). While I doubt she was a scammer, it stank of desperation.

Tulip89 View Profile History	Men that Pressure for Phone Calls Posted : 24 Oct, 2010 11:51 AM This is true. However, it's a double standard to expect me to trust you enough to share all kinds of intimate details about my life over four months so you can really get to know me, but not trust me enough to so much as let me have your phone number.
