Calling people.

[Wykydtron]

One of my bestfriends and I call/talk on the phone all the time. Sometimes when one of us needs to vent/bitch, other times just as a "hey, what's up, how goes it" type of thing. If you can sit and have a text conversation back and forth where you wait for the reply text....just fucking call them.

Agreed !
Wouldn't it be awkward if you aren't familiar with each others voice
And when you meet up its like sooo awkward

I think what it is is calling can be a lot of hassle. You might not speak loud enough, people might be around listening, the ambient sound is too loud, etc.

I think this revolution really defeats the connection we build with girls and process of knowing a girl.

Before it was, get number, call her, go on date without much awkwardness because you guys have been talking on the phone.

Now is, facebook, get number, text/msg, arrange date, call to pick her up, go on date with extreme awkwardness because you guys don't even know each others tone of voice, jokes, sarcasm, sweetness, etc.

id prefer to call, the sound of someone else's voice is better than the clicking sounds of a keyboard

I only call when I need answers right away. Otherwise, there are so many reasons to text instead. 90% of the time when someone texts me I'm busy with something, so I can just respond when I have a second. You can think of a response and send it whenever the hell you want, whereas there would almost certainly be dead spots during a call. It's very advantageous to text rather than call a girl you got the number of. Again, you can decide what to say and take your time instead of being put on the spot. Texting is just a convenient, casual way to keep in touch with your friends throughout the day.

Texting doesn't bug me at all, what really does bug me is when you're at a table with some buddies, and everyone is on their phone.
