Looking for a good conversation
Do you guys have the same difficulty of finding someone who you could have a good conversation with?My point is, as a marketing and communication I could always create a pleasant topic just about with anyone I want, when I need to.
However, that would mean I need to somehow try to 'read' which kind of topic would interest the person and not so much about what I like to talk about.
A good conversation to me would be that the other person to at least have the same level of thinking as I am and yet am well aware that we can't force people to be as we want them to be.
So hard to find a good conversation these days, specially as I get older the more picky I get too

J/K, you're right, the art of decent conversing is in danger of becoming obsolete - just watch some under 30's post here & you'll know what I mean.
I think I know what you mean..
at least am younger than you
Hi Marsh. . When I am into a conversation, example in the chat, I want someone who also contribute. He/she doesn't need to be all intelligent, but not the "yes/no, hi/hello" type only.
I think so, but I understand that we all here have different communication skills to talk one to another, so you just got to keep trying and I wish you all the best
Yea, funny how the way different generation talk or think compared to us, we sometimes can't even understand what they're talking about
You've the privilege of being young! Enjoy as much as possible!
I believe we share the same feelings that age and experience contribute to a good conversation, yes?
well said and i totally agree with you!
in my case, i would need the guy to also somehow understand that i could be a little stubborn with my opinion sometimes
finally, a guy with confidence i like it!
keeping an open mind and heart are good inputs too, however, i wonder sometimes if im a too quick of a judgmental person to immediately detect whether the other is compatible
I saw this blog yesterday but didn't have time to comment.
As you might guess , I'm very fond of good conversation. Someone intelligent and understanding to share ideas with... to share dreams with... to share things that make sense and things that don't. The rational, silly, serious, and ridiculous.
Note: "Intelligent" to me is just someone who thinks about things and considers possibilities... someone open-minded. Formal education can help develop this but being knowledgeable isn't the same thing.
I have a friend here in Buffalo who is very good at ending conversations. She makes statements with a manner of finality that makes further conversation unlikely. She doesn't realize how good she is at this! ... But she does notice that people don't talk to her for very long and conversations are brief.
It's an interesting skill... somewhat counterproductive in her life... but she learned it from her family and doesn't realize that she is creating her own problem...
I wish her the best, of course... just seems like a lonely existence when you can't connect with people through conversation.
Happy to have you on my blog
You've cleverly said all the things I wish I could describe within my limited language ability thank you!
You know in a good conversation we indeed don't have to always agree on the things we talk about. So long as the person is open-minded and understanding, we could talk about million and zillion crazy ideas and possibilities.
Knowledgeable, that's the word I've been looking for!!
Sorry to hear about that friend of yours, perhaps one day she could realize and change bit by bit
I love a long good conversing perhaps we should start a chat forum for the girls
am the kind who doesn't give up easily yet short-tempered
shall try again with less emotion next time hahaha
hope you're having a good time today
My definition of conversation would be good friendly talk to socialize with people. But why need to socialize with many people here, when everybody has a profile and I can pick a few to share my ideas with?
Somebody said, it´s not possible for her to have relation with somebody not being good in conversation. Well not all of us like to speak non-stop and it doesn´t mean they are less intelligent or have no great ideas. Some days I am chatty and tell even things people don´t want to hear from me and on other days I am smiling and don´t loose a word, feeling happy and confident to hear others.
Communication of men and women are a bit different. Why not start a blog about that?
welcome to the blogs
perhaps we should keep an open mind that indeed not everybody is a good writer, however, as the way we communicate on this site is through written conversation usually people who could put into form of writing what they have in mind are also a good partner to share a good conversation with.
