Boring People.....Know Any? (men, younger, American, affairs)

[MissLucky]

I think the most boring people on earth are really the ones who can't stop talking about themselves.

Would any of you consider a "book worm" boring? Ladies, would you consider a "computer geek" boring? What about some professions in the workplace? Are Accountants boring? Are pro-golfers boring?
I remember years ago, when I was single, I'd go to a nightclub and just stand in it and watch people dancing and having a heck of a good time. Here I was with my bottle of brew and looking like I had just lost my very best friend (which I hadn't, but sure looked that way). I looked so "down and out in Beverly Hills" (for-to-say), that it was no wonder I wasn't having any fun! After a few times of analyzing my behavior, I thought to my self, "this has to stop", sooooooooo I learned to 2-step and Texas Swing. Got awefully good at it to the point that ladies would see me dancing and ask me to dance!
Some people do like (even love) boring/quiet/introverted people.......I have no idea why, but they do. Perhaps it's because they are the same way?
Wife and I have a nice power boat that, when we hit the water, no one would ever think that we are in our early 60's! We love fishing as well and each have our own gear! During the week, we are Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy fans, but when the weekend comes......IT'S PARTY TIME!!!

It could be that someone who seems boring is just hanging with the wrong crowd.

The hot looking guys and girls at the club might not find a discussion about quantum physics at all interesting, they want to talk about music or clothes or make up, they know all the latest dance moves and latest fad drink names.

But if the person who likes to talk about quantum physics stops hanging around the club types, and finds others who enjoy the same thing, then they aren't going to seem boring to the new friends.

We met a couple the other night during a small "residents" party in our Club House at our apt complex. Turns out the husband is 15 yrs older than us and his wife is 10 yrs older. She has some medical problems and walks with a cane. Anyway, I told them "what this party needs is some Aerosmith, Kansas, Steppenwolf, Fleetwood Mac music playing, not this "sleepy" instrumental type music." The lady looked at me like I was talking about evil-Devil music and said "we like the old 50's Country and Pop music". I said "Okkkkkkk!" Anyway, we have a DVD called the Best of 50's Pop that I recorded. We don't watch it anymore, just too old for us, soooooooooo I seen them in the Club House a few minutes ago and gave them the DVD! I doubt they will be up dancing around to the Patty Page and Pat Boone music that is part of this DVD, but they sure won't be bored with it!!

Your thread reminded me that some years ago, we met a guy at church I thought was boring. Actually, though, we became close friends with him and he was about the LEAST boring person I've ever met! He passed away from cancer a few year ago, but he became one of our closest friends and again, was probably the most interesting, outrageously fun person I've ever known. We miss him. It taught me that first impressions can certainly be wrong about who's boring and who is not!

There's a difference between self-confidence and arrogance/narcissism.

Interesting people are much more rare than boring people.

99% of the people I meet bore me to tears. I'm 52, never married, and have no kids. Having to sit through even a minute of some childed humanoid's chatter makes me want to scream.

The subject is about boring people and not self-confidence.

Do you know of any friends or family members who seem to constantly complain about not having, or being able to keep, a boyfriend or girlfriend because they lead such a boring lifestyle?
My wife's brother really seems to live a VERY boring lifestyle! He has never been married or involved with a lady for numerous years and, in part, we think it's because he is so boring to be around.
My SIL's husband is the same way......boring and we think that is the main reason why she simple don't want to be around him that much anymore! And, they've been married for 30 plus years now.
I do know that some people live a boring life because they are introverts/quiet and/or not very good looking (average or below). Because of their personalities/looks, they very seldom-to-not at all go out and have fun.
Even though wife/I are in our early 60's, we still know how to have fun and DO!!

Oh my ...I do know someone like that..My friend used to date this guy who was such a bore..All he ever talked about was drywall..Drywall this and drywall that..He would tell you from start to finish,,from bidding on the job,,to everything he did on the job...
My friend and I no longer talk we had a falling out..But her ex and I are still friends,,He will call me and the only thing he has to talk about is drywall...he has no friends, I once tried to change the subject and he directs it back to drywall...I dont know what a corner bead is but have it stuck in my head..
