why do so few women who say they are keen to chat seldom reply?

I chat quite a bit and like it, sometimes you just have nothing in common with the person on the other end.

'Men are mostly a convenience as they haven't the capacity to listen and respond, are not compelled to communicate as women are. I really dont think they view them as stupid, or ignorant for the most part, though geography has much to do that. No role playing, be the strong women you are. I am , have paid a fair price for it...and so it goes...I have lost nothing I never had and I have had a LOT. I will NOT be bored or play handmaiden to an armchair quarterback...Listen up men, learn your lady's favourite everything. Take a hint....this really works!!!! Please her and you will be pleased in reciprocity. I know. Women may be more petite and therefore seem like bait or the underneeded or we have been treated as convenience stores. Well we are NOT THAT ! All For Now......

Because women have the tendency to intimidate guys and many of us are scared of rejection. Let the guy your writing to know that you want him to.

You can't win with these girls.. If you are shy most women don't esspecially like it.. If you show too much interest then they say your too needy, desperate or clingy.. They are just never satisfied.

you know, and this is not meant to offend any of the nice sounding people that have answered this question already, but i agree with you.  i have very few women friends because they always seem so competetive and bitchy and catty, they just make my skin crawl.  i get along better with men.  i'm quite sure there are nice women out there, i just hardly ever meet any.

I think this is because men thinks better alone with no disturbance and later on they can discuss it, while women by nature likes to speak out and discuss more, most of the women I knew doesn't like it when I am to quite and always say that we should discuss problems and find a solution together.\nWell I guess it is nature :)

Yes. Women tend to be better at diplomacy than men. I think Women want to hear all sides and are better listeners.  I think they stive for peace moreso than men.

online chat/dating invitations are DANGEROUS\n\ntake the initiative to find a REAL woman - we're out there and enjoy meeting new people who treat us with respect.

It depends.  Some women are just stupid and don't know when you are trying to get to them, and some guys are just stupid and dont give strong enough signals.  I recommend commenting them about their appearance occasionally, it normally helps.

If you read the content of most chatrooms, why on earth would girls want to get involved?\n\nThey're full of desperate men, who can't meet real girls, trying to use chatrooms as a pickup parlour.

ALOT OF MEN DON'T KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE THAT'S THE REASON WHY THEY ARE SO SHORT WITH US WHEN ASKED A QUESTION, BUT THEN ON THEE OTHER END YOU HAVE SOME MEN THAT JUST DON'T LIKE TO TALK REASON BEING I HAVE NO IDEA,,,, WOMEN LOVE TO TALK THAT'S WHAT WE DO, WE LOVE TO TALK AND WHEN WE TALK WE EXPECT FOR THEM TO LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND ,,,,,MEN HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH COMMUNICATION......

Because they feel rejected.  It is very rude for a women to not respond when ANYONE speaks to them.  There is nothing wrong with simply saying hello back.  This will save you from being call a "B".  When they say that, its because they feel that you are being stuck up and rude, which is sometimes true.  Just speak back and keep going.  If he further tries to talk to you, just same " I have a boyfriend, Im not interested".  If you're nice about it, he'll take the rejection better.  If you ignore him, its like a slap in the face.

Maybe its the "communication thing"...\n\nYou say that SOME women are like that and thats true - not all of them are. So ask the nagging woman whats wrong with her and you will find out!\n\nAnd then you can make things right and then you will live in harmony with the not so nagging woman! (hopefully)

they are probably too shy to talk to you or think they are not good enough for you.  You should talk to them if you want to.

Absolutely!  I think women are more honest about what they want and don't feel the need to make empty promises about "looking for someone to settle down with" like men do.

maybe because women are not likely to receive it
