This.
Don't take offense but maybe you need a new wife...If she doesn't have time or desire to actually talk with her husband what is the use of having her around.
And that should have been the texting conversation. You usually waste more time with useless babble when you call someone.
Its been my observation...you texters don't know if or when a text conversation is over. That is why you all are always head down staring at your phone and working your little thumbs over the keypad.
Then you're doing it wrong. Sometimes when I have a snappy retort, I actually think of something even better while mid text. You can't do that when talking.Single women, even older ones, are all about the texting. It's hard for my witty personality and charm to come through via text.
if someone calls me while driving they can leave a voice mail. That's it though.
What if the voicemail simply says "hey timmay party tonight at my house six o'clock"
Text me 5 times in 10 minutes and I will call you to put and end to the nonsense. Texts are convenient but they are not conversations and those who try to make them conversations are making them the opposite convenient.Jayrod said:

I can process a text in about 1/4 second.
The difference is that I have dial up voicemail, wait for prompt, then enter the passcode, wait for some ##### to tell me how many messages I have, then say "first message.....". If I'm lucky, the message starts with the point so I can delete fast, but that's rare. If it was somebody that would just get to the point, they'd have texted.
They think they are talking......My son will be head down typing away and I say..... what are you doing? He replies talking with a girl.. Which I reply no you aren't you are typing words, give her a call...nope. My daughter recently was texting with a guy that she found out liked her at school. They text back and forth for two weeks, got into some kind of dispute and it ended....I find out a few days later she literally never met or was introduced face to face. This is how our society has chosen to move forward to the next generation...pathetic..We have created an entire generation of kids/adults who CANNOT talk on the phone. They walk around all day with a phone in their pocket/hands, yet appear to be deathly afraid to use it as one. My high school son will send multiple texts over the course of an hour in an often vain attempt to make arrangements with a pal/pals to do something... rather than call.
And get off my lawn!
Not disagreeing with your observation, nor with your sentiment (I agree 100% that it's turning kids into anti-social non-speaking text zombies)...but which generation got laid more on average between the age of 16 and 21? Yours or the current one? I'd bet the current one...so there must be something to it. It seems to me that this wave of "connectedness" has made it really easy for kids to hook up and do what kids want to do. I sure wish we had this kind of stuff when I was a kid so I wouldn't be sitting around with my buddies trying to figure out where the parties were that weekend...instead we'd just look on Facebook.They think they are talking......My son will be head down typing away and I say..... what are you doing?

I don't know the answer to that......I did my fair share of damage, but if they are getting laid more does it have to do with social media or is todays generation just more promiscuous. And is that a good or bad byproduct.Not disagreeing with your observation, nor with your sentiment (I agree 100% that it's turning kids into anti-social non-speaking text zombies)...but which generation got laid more on average between the age of 16 and 21?
