Here is what I think- and in before HYPOCRITE, i've been just as guilty of this in the past. Lately, I prefer face to face or telephone conversations for anything that requires discussion.

Men shouldn't be text messaging much - conversations and the like have no place via the blank and emotionless realm of text. For confirming and/or making plans or following up on something, surely text is fine. I, personally, love to hear peoples voices. I like to hear the tone in ones voice, the emotion, real laughter. I don't understand why people are afraid to real talk.

In a way, social media, text messaging etc. is turning us into less social creatures and less manly men. It disconnects us from actual human interaction. It feeds us the chemical rewards from the social "validation" (likes, messages, friend requests, pokes or whatever the fuck it is now) without the actual human interaction. You cannot form a strong bond with any human through a computer screen or a phone keyboard. Share a beer with me, talk to me over a fresh hunt, look me in the fucking eyes and talk to me. Don't send me facebook message if you want to talk about something.

This also leads people to not having any idea how to talk to strangers anymore. A man cannot approach a woman he does not know without fear of rejection. Awkward silences are now worse than nuclear war.
