    Stupid people are boring. Men are just as stupid as women, from my experience. A stupid man is more boring than a stupid woman, to me--but sometimes it's not important, the important thing is to remove yourself as quickly as possible from the source of intolerable, tedious, lethargy-inducing emotion.

    While I agree that there is a large proportion of women who look to men for validation, there is an equally large proportion of men who crave this asskissing validation for a sense of security. They are equally spineless, and equally boring.


    Baby showers are right up there, too--but I'd have a hard time deciding which are worse.

    Katrine, it sounds like you were plunked down with a group of strangers and were expected to fit right in and have a good time. I can see how that would be boring. But if you are out with your own friends do you feel that way?

    I have several girlfriends and we do girls night every month or so. Most of the time the conversation isn't terribly deep, but we have some frou frou drinks and talk and laugh. I don't find it boring at all. And other times when it's just two or three of us we do get into deeper conversations and sometimes hang out just talking until the wee hours of the night. Those occasions are priceless to me. But that kind of friendship doesn't happen overnight and you aren't necessarily going to be compatible with strangers you've just met the way you would be with your longtime friends.

    Most of the men in my social circle are SO's of my female friends or friends of my husband's. But, even though I do like many of them, I would never choose hanging out with the men instead of the women. Perhaps working in strip clubs has done it, or life in general, but I don't really like being around men all of the time. Most of them just don't interest me in the least.

    Man, I have thought the exact same thing. I've been made to feel too slutty, too "adhd" when I change the topic, that I'm not caring and interested in their problems when I'm changing the topic from yet another "I'm so fat" conversation to what's in the paper today.....

    Men can be boring too, and of course stupid = boring most of the time (I've met some pretty fun stupid ppl tho, which is awesome!) but, it just seems like with men I can be free to talk about whatever the fuck I want instead of sticking with the unwritten "guidelines".

    Oh lord. I remember being souped about going to play poker with my boyfriend's buddies in TX, several of whom I know are really good, at a big giant home game, and when I walked in, there was a whole group of women sitting together on couches......LITERALLY discussing recipes and playing lame board games (like bad truth or dare games....."ever made out in public? *giggle* AND---they came up to the poker table a lot to serve their men chips. I was thinking it was a Texas thing, but I know yr from TX Katrine so I shouldn't have said that.


    I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv ed meeting a whole bunch of SW ladies a couple weeks ago. My kinda wimin.

    I never thought about it, but most of my friends were always guys. I do love to hang out with women, if they aren't so damn timid and boring though.

    I guess my interests are a little different than most women, I love football, politics, reading, music, and clowning around and yes sometimes I get a little raunchy. Me and the hubby do things like hiking and snorkling, and traveling, and these are our usual topics of convo.

    Yeah, ditto for me, except it was about 8 months ago.

    I am actually really surprised that Kat even started this thread. She is about the least boring woman I have ever met. And she is 100% woman.

    I would think that would obviate the need for such a thread--in fact, it could be the dumbest question I have ever heard a brilliant woman ask. But maybe it's a rhetorical question.

    I agree with this.... not only is this question VERY out of character (seemingly, anyway...) but, uhh, how in the world can you be on SW and ask that??? Are the threads without men boring??? Is "Ladies Only" boring?? No! No way! SOME women are boring, just like SOME men are boring, and it's the people themselves and their lack of creativity and passion in life that makes them so... not the lack of the opposite sex in the group that makes them boring.

    I'm sorry your last interaction with a group of women sucked. But you've worked as a stripper, you've gone to school, you've interacted with amazing women in so many avenues of life.... how can you ask such an inherently sexist question?

    Last month I did an all-women's motorcycle trackday at Las Vegas Speedway. Definitely not sitting and talking about men and bra-sales. No f*cking way women are boring as a whole gender.

    And I HAVE to comment on PrettyCurlieQ's comment about "women are bitches..." I hear this all the time, and I cringe every time it is said.... what the hell does this mean, anyway? Every single female is a mean-spirited, vengeful, catty underhanded person??? Yes. Yes. Women are bitches.

    ..... WHat a horribly twisted and overly perpetrated derogatory myth.

    I enjoy the company of my type of women and find women who are not my "cup of tea" as such boring.

    I get far more bored by men tho. Especially men who talk about sport, my mind starts to wander and I don't even listen.

    I love spending time with women who share similar interests to me and who are down to earth chicks.

    I can't stand spending time with women who sit around and talk about their kids, other people's kids, pregnancy and that sort of bullshit. That's not a dig at mothers either coz I know several mothers that realise that that sort of talk is boring for other people and they don't do it.

    You know Katrine, talking about economics and politics isn't everything. Here in Brussels, everyone you meet is some sort of genius with an amazing education - and all they seem to know about is politics, competition policy, eu law and social policy.

    It can be very interesting, but after a while - jeez - you just pray to meet someone normal who is a little less full on. It is one of the reasons I visit here - people are much more normal here to my mind - even if I am not an American. The folks here discuss sex and relationships more than a Brit might be used to, but isn't that a big part of life?

    I guess what I am heading towards, is that it is all relative. All politics and law is just as boring as only sports or cars... It is just a different sort of geeky!

    Since boring is subjective, it's impossible to measure this.

    I tend to think boring people are those who never do ANYTHING or have ANYTHING to say, except cliches/common knowledge/popular things/etc.

    I do not think this stems from "stupidity" so much as fear and general laziness/apathy. It takes a bit of work and strength to do things outside the norm, rather than join the sheeple ranks.

    But you know, if someone's really into stamp collecting, it intensely interests them. I think that's boring, but other stamp collectors wouldn't. Some people would find posting on a stripper forum tedious and boring, but obviously lots of us find it amusing.

    It's subjective.

    I'd agree it's a sexist question and the answer is a big 'no' to this one.

    Women are only boring at the mall. A two second trip to buy a pair of pants can turn into a nine hour event if you bring a chick with you.

    So I stand by my assessment that "boringness" is not really a characteristic of women or men, but really of people who don't share your interests.
    Agreed, though the elitist snob in me finds that most folks aren't really capable of having interests worth sharing, thus the cycle perpetuates itself.

    I agree, actually - but like I said I have concluded that it is a fault in me and not other people.

    Katrine - did I miss something - I thought people were, by and large being pretty agreeable.

    Not if you bring me....shoot I've seen my bf's happier @ the mall than me....I'm like ZOOM.

    Katrine don't be sorry. I still feel you completely.


    And maybe women being bitches did not have a place in this thread, but it ain't a myth or fable to the point where you seriously gotta question where it comes from.

    I dunno. Nevermind!

    I don't think it's a man or woman thing. Although, males relating to some woman things and vice-versa present a tough situation for either side.

    I'm least at home when I am the lone wolf and am with a bunch of couples. I feel like a 3rd or 5th wheel or something. I can do it, but there is only so much to talk about when their is couple-speak going on. But joking fun-loving male or female singles can be equally fun to be around.

    I also am bored when the conversation pattern must be "politically correct".

    When the conversation turns too much to the mundane details of life, well I'd rather be watching a movie or anywhere but with people talking about that.

    If you want to be interested in what someone else has to say, you have to first be interesting and open them up. Some people can seem soooo boring until you really get to know them and then they tell you really WILD stories that make you go 'wow, this person is fun as hell'..COMPLETE change of perspective. But you got to allow them the time and give them the space, and make them want to share themselves with you. People nowadays are so full of bs. They put up all kinds of fake personalities to the outside world and then they expect you to be able to relate to them. Go figure.

These women meet men who enrich their lives, but they themselves are empty and vapid. Therefore, she'll tag along with him and just mingle on the sidelines. I have met men like this, but not to the extent of women like this. I think that it's because men know from an early age that they are not only going to support themselves, but probably others as well. Women are taught that they find a MAY-UNN to take care of them or show them a good life. Therefore, men are more likely to go our and do stuff.

    I feel the same way, I usually get stuck with the women like that while the men want to be outside alone. It's like sharp pain in my stomach. I have no choice but to drink tea and smile.

    Men are just as boring as women. I tend to think that "I don't like girls. All my friends are guys" is code for "I am too insecure to be surrounded by other women so I prefer the almost-guaranteed admiration I get from men."

    I am a woman's woman, for sure. Yeah, there are boring twits who only talk about clothes and celebrities but for every one there is a dude who only talks about sports and farting. But when you find a good group of women you can't get away with the flirty shit. You gotta keep it real. I find that most of the "I only hang out with guys" chicks shamelessly use their sexuality in those relationships.

    I agree with you. And for the record, I'm not that girl and have far more female friends than male friends.

    Its just something I've noticed when thrown into social situations with groups of women that I have not myself selected as friends.

    But you have a good point. Perhaps I've had more fun conversations with strange groups of guys because of the flirtation element?

    ^^No, I'm with you. I understand completely. When I'm thrown in with a group of women I get the same way. Thrown in with a group of men? Reach into my bag of stripper tricks. Easy peasy. Cheap, but easy.
