you don't help anyone avoiding conversation.
- cj 7mo agoThat’s why it’s a game. If I run out of interesting conversation starters, I default to weather/work/family and carry on. I simply prefer to start with unique/contextual topics first.

- cj 7mo agoI don’t understand what you’re trying to communicate. I don’t have a problem with those questions. I do have a problem with getting bored at social events by boring boilerplate conversation, and I shared my strategy for having interesting conversations. I’m happy to debate you if you clearly state a viewpoint.
- bluGill 7mo agothat makes sense.
