I've always been that kind of girl. But I'm typically like that with men and women, I've worked customer service jobs since I was 18 years old and I have had people tell me their life stories lol. I have had some interesting calls, the ones I remember most happen to be with males. I had one guy who was around my age who had a kid around my age and was having problems with his girlfriend. He had just called in to pay his bill but I ended up on the call with him for over an hour (his phone actually died which ended the call). I also spent about an hour on a call with a male psychologist which was a blast. (It was a sales and customer service job and they rated your performance based on how much you sold per call, so if you got a few high sale calls and then kept customers on the phone for awhile you had a really high per call rate.)

A EXCELLENT listener is just what the doctor ordered for many men. Turning the blind eye, or even WORSE, ridiculing the man before YOU know WHY is a sure bet to get passed along. It's easy to find your way into a man's pants. Can you find your way into his heart and mind?

Well, I thought we were talking about "catching a man" , meanig early stages, when you just get to know someone, and that wouldn't include conversations between husbands and wives.

I knew this guy at work that use to go to prostitutes not for anything sexual..but just because he found them to be very receptive and great listeners! I thought Jerry was pulling my leg, but he told another coworker of ours who he was close with the same thing!

Lol true, but I've always been an open book. I'm not one of those girls who refuses to fart around a guy until they've been out a few times or even married. I'm also the kind of girl that if you ask me how I'm doing, I'm going to tell you. Most of the time I'm doing good, but if I'm not having a good day I have no problem letting people know.

Of course, I'll monitor myself at work, but even when I first met my husband we were pretty open with each other. It's probably why we ended up married so quickly.

We are talking about just meeting someone. A gal who gains trust at that level early on will go far. "We" can tell who doesn't really give a rip from about day 2.

That's BS. They tell me to F-OFF when I tell them to get off my van, I'm working! LOL

Listening is the easy part, watching your temper when someone tells you something upsetting is the hard part.

I think patience is more of a key than listening. Anyone can listen, but it seems like today with so much being accessible to people instantly or quickly we no longer have a lot of patience.

Lol, my husband is both. In fact he's in the other room right now rebuilding a gun. He's always tinkering with stuff. He left me to watch a movie while he "quickly" puts this gun back together. If I didn't say anything to him he'd probably in there for the next 2 hours. I'd walk in and the gun would be put together and he'd be reloading ammo.

For me, a deal breaker is when a woman talks about her ex-boyfriend or boyfriends, past relationships, or other "historical" stuff. I don't want to hear about it. I don't want to date a lady with past "luggage." If the topic comes up, just say "yes, I was married once but that was long ago and I don't want to talk about it."

The one exception to this rule is if you experimented and had a hot Lesbian affair, then I want to hear about all the details.
