would a girl rather be asked out over a voice message or text?

Pretty sure that was sarcasm.

Yes, it is a generational thing. So you are saying women under 30 prefer ALL communication to be by text?

You notice he only asked about the difference between a voice message over a standard text message.
It's still on an app.

I say give equal opportunity for all forms of communication for new people. Just make hard, fast rules and stick with them. Discard rules that only benefit you or the ones that somebody said were the only acceptable ones for grown ups.

For example, texts are perfect for short, explicit information. If my question could be answered with a yes or no, then I choose the most convenient one at the moment. I also use text as a way to weed out people who can't get to the point or who have "lil" problems. The minute I feel a phone call is needed, usually because the text is confusing or my response would be interpreted differently, I ask if I may call instead. Then I wait politely.

With good friends whose voice I haven't heard all week, I may start with a phone call and if they don't pick up, I text. Most of the time they return the phone call. Sometimes our texts are long, but since we are friends and I know them, I am fine with this.

When did I say this? My comment is in reference to the initial contact for meeting up with someone you don't know well.

I generally like to hold a boombox over my head on full blast, standing in their driveway while they are trying to sleep.

You can wimp out and leave a VM or do via text - it's easier for YOU if you don't have confidence. But also realize it is easier for HER to blow you off too, using the same methods or not replying/ignoring it.
