I am a pretty good conversationalist and I have extensive experience in dating both online and real life. While this article is not wrong per se, it presents reality as if it were a male problem only. Being terrible at dialogue has nothing to do with one’s sex. I could go on for hours telling stories about all the women who don’t know how to have a conversation or even start it. There is no one rule that fits everyone or every conversation or situation. Women waste men’s time just as much as men waste women’s. It’s an unfortunate reality, but a reality nevertheless.
