Right back at y'all. I've been stalked 3 times. I've never been crazy enough to stalk someone. Crazy is relative.

fricking this.
Why do women feel the need to be subtle? Just come out and say what you want instead of getting upset and pissy about us not picking up on hints.

If I'm offered a dick pic, things have gone south quickly.

I'll try. This may be a work in progress.

I generally try to not take too much stock in what guys try to verbalize (or text for the sake of this discussion). A lot of guys just aren't good at getting their point across.
Yup. I'm guilty of this on occasion.

I have 1 chick that's been stalking me since high school, if that makes you feel any better.

My wife and I read a book together on this subject. The author compared the lines of thought of men and women to "waffles" and "spaghetti," meaning women tend to relate different thoughts, events, and actions to each other to find meaning, whereas men tend to compartmentalize their focus, thus leading to a disconnect in the communication bridge. Pretty intriguing read, actually. Helped me better understand where Mrs. Tbird is coming from sometimes.
But girls are still crazy

What it all boils down to is men and women are wired differently therefore we communicate differently. Sometimes you have to cut each other a break when there's a breakdown because it's bound to happen.

That's just creepy. Someone who would do that has a serious screw loose.
And yes, men and women communicate differently. The book about the 5 Love Languages is really insightful. And I remember reading that "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" too - interesting stuff.

No you're not crazy but if the guy is against communication other than texting, he's likely not interested. Just sayin'
I'm starting to completely agree.
I mean, if I'm not interested in someone, I stop talking to them. He has had a lot going on lately also, and I understand that. That is why I'm still putting up with it, tbh. I just hope it changes VERY soon though.

With one of my exes I had to resort to recording all of our conversations, and yes she knew, because of these issues. We finally split because she got tired of me calling her out by playing back her statements to her.Posted on 3/20/13 at 3:24 pm to 3xlsugrad

See, why bother? I have a pretty simple guideline. If this person bringing more happiness or frustration/sadness to my life? And if the answer is frustration or sadness, is this likely to change? If the answer is no, well then....
ETA - I just don't choose to invite drama into my life. I avoid it like the plague. If someone is causing drama, and it seems as if that's their MO rather than related to a specific situation, I pull away pretty fast.

I have a photographic memory.
I rarely forget a conversation.
I'm also not afraid to admit when I'm wrong in an argument and apologize.

Only thing I can contribute to this is, I have to at a minimum talk to my SO once a day.
The communication part is up to the two involved, but the expectations have to be said by both parties. I have been with my SO for 20yrs and we still have to sit down and splain things to each other, and like children be reminded of how to be nice and what we want from the other.

Yet with this particular woman I would have to play back statements literally minutes later because she swore she never said what she said. Then accused me of "doctoring" the recording in those 2 minutes while she was in the room. She would get so pissed she would start throwing things. It would just kill me.
