Do text messages not stating a purpose annoy you?

[kizellParticipant 368]

Maybe I’m just crazy or something but this kind of text message f~~~ing infuriates me……”call me when you can. We need to talk about something.”

How hard is it to state a f~~~ing purpose to the call. Your asking me to initiate a call to you in which I have no idea what I’m walking into. I feel like I’m being set up to go on the defensive when I get these kind of messages. I usually get them from family and coworkers (women of course).

Does anyone feel the same way or am I being a blowhard.

DO TEXT MESSAGES NOT STATING A PURPOSE ANNOY YOU?

i don’t like texting. i would much rather call for talk in person

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

When they are from women, I ignore them. They never turn out to be important. You are right though, women tend to try and set s~~~ up to trap you into calling them. I never do.

No, it doesn’t bother me. I also don’t text women period.

Hm… Indeed ! but you know what? best way to deal with them is to toggle “no answer mode”… saves a lot of trouble and mental sanity.

Yeah. Text messages without a purpose are the written equivalent of women just talking too much. I’d have women text me s~~~ like: “Are you awake?” I’d text YEAH, they’d text back “Okay”

Why the f~~~ did you wanna know if I was up or not? Was there a reason. That’s the equivalent of going up to someone and asking them if they are alive. WTF?

Not crazy at all, dude. That’s how they get you trapped in conversations so they can argue with you. If you’re calling you can’t pretend it’s a text like you didn’t get it. And if you hang up that only adds fuel to the fire. If they’re a girl you’re f~~~ing who cares. Unfortunately if it’s family, you’re stuck with em.

I always say:
-My battery’d almost dead, what’s going on?- and then if they don’t text back, nothing’s wrong because you said your battery is dead.
-Tell them you’re in a meeting or driving. They don’t f~~~ing know LOL

Feminism is a movement where opinions are presented as facts and emotions are presented as evidence.

That is exactly why I don’t have texting.
If it’s not important enough to initiate a phone conversation, it’s not important at all.

I tell them I dont text so they never text me,they will try to s~~~ test and text you anyway but I just never respond, after a while text messaging doesn’t exist to us anymore because its communication between two people and one has checked out. Plus women use them for buffers anyway,my opinion is men should keep texting to a very very minimal like”-i’ll be there in 5 min” .

Never lose sight of what brought you here.

Yes.
Ex once sent me a text just before I sent her one to say Goodnight to say
“GoodNight. Sending you a message on Facebook. It’s not good”

Gee.
Thanks.

Sweet Dreams and all.

I have neither sent nor received a text message. If and when I own a cell phone capable of them, I still won’t.
I check my email and voicemail once a day, maybe twice if I expect an important reply to a message I sent. I check my post office box about twice a week.
F~~~ all those distractions.
Before I moved my residence to my weekend/vacation house there was no phone here or internet or cellphone coverage. My boss at the time asked how he could get a hold of me if he needed me on the weekends. I gave him the f~~~ing driving directions.

I used to hate text, but I don’t mind it for short concise things. Sometimes it’s just more efficient.

As for conversations via text, my rule is at text number three they will get a “Call me” reply. I hate people that waste my time.

Yes,
Initiate any type of “conversation” with its explicit purpose first.
Sometimes brevity is an actual art form.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

[The Moth Attracted to the FlameParticipant 2982]

Sometimes. Usually it tries to “continue” a conversation when it just makes things awkward.
