talking to girls about philosophical things?

[shammi]

Why do i get the feeling that girls get really bored when guys talk about philosophical things? me and my guy friends often talk about philosophical things or about the universe or about the purpose of life etc.... but girls always seem to get bored and leave the room, why is that?

i personally would like to talk about these things with my wife or girlfriend, but i am worried what if she gets bored?

I think people in general get bored of talking about philosophical things. It takes only a few dedicated individuals who will enjoy a conversation of this nature (men or women).

After a while, deep, philosophical discussions can become rather sleep-inducing. But to be able to have an honest, open conversation with your partner is a really good standard (if that's what you're looking for). Perhaps you're looking at the wrong type of girl. There are plenty of women who want to talk about deeper issues than what color they're going to dye their hair next weekend, but you have to start looking for them.

I personally love these types of conversations, so i don't think you can group all "girls" into one topic. There of plenty of girls who like this, you just havent found them.

^Yeah I love this kind of conversation too.

Me and my ex used to have talks about everything and anything, ....really deep stuff. It's far more interesting that discussing the latest movie, or latest song in the charts IMO

If a guy couldn't have discussions such as this, I'd get bored with him.

Mish is right. It generally is not just girls.

And friends are something which happen over long periods of time, therefore you feel good connection to them, have gone through some shit with them and can mostly talk about anything, because you have been through similar things.

But girlfriends are aquired in much shorter timespan, therefore some level of shallowness should be expected, you actually don't know each other.


But I am more than shure somewhere out there is a girl with whom you can talk philosophy with, maybe you have been looking from the wrong places?

I for one, know a girl I can talk philosophy with.

Your problem is that a lot of people don't care any more about talking about such things. I have friends who I don't talk about deep philosophical things but I also friends who I talk about deep mean of life things. There are plenty of women out there who do think about philosophical things. Buddy, I know how you feel when I was single I had a hard time trying finding philosophical women.
