This should be taken as an overstatement in my view. Men just like women tend to be unique in their own way, so if one guy doesn't like having a conversation over the phone then this doesn't necessarily mean that all men hate phone conversations.
However, if we were to dissect this topic further, then you would come to a shocking realization that women also never call. Women always expect the man to call first, which begs the question are we really that different? Given this subtle example then it would be safe to say that both gender's phone ethics is wanting and not so much different either.
So, if your guy doesn't really like having these long phone conversations with you, there's no need whatsoever to panic. This doesn't mean that he loves you any less.
Here are some of the reasons why men hate talking over the phone:
1. Men like short duration calls
Most women have a problem trying to understand this part of men. But men in general, are not really into using phones for a long duration. Men like answering a lot of short calls more often. Gossiping has never been the strong point of men and they especially dread doing it over the phone. So when they sense that the phone call is going nowhere, they just prefer ending it rather than keep babbling with you.
2. Men lose their composure
It's easier for a man to direct a face to face conversation and make it last for hours on end. However, when it comes to doing the same over the phone, men seem to lose their confidence since the variables are just too far out of control.
3. Men tend to lead conversations with their women
Men actually don't talk much whenever they are engaged in a conversation with their better half. They just direct the flow of the conversation and use gestures to indicate their interest in what the lady is saying. However, this leading role becomes more difficult than usual over the phone since it requires the man to match the woman's lingual eloquence. Most men just can't keep up.
4. Men are bored of long unyielding conversations
Women tend to get excited over the simplest things and can talk about her day for hours on end, giving details and reiterating the same story over and over. Unfortunately, men's life is far less exciting. We don't feel the need to externally unwind all the occurrences of the day in a conversation especially over the phone. That's something you should do with your girl pals!
5. Phone conversations are tasking
Real conversations over the phone take a lot more work than communicating in real life. You have no face to look at, no body language to read. All you have is a voice. The phone conversations become entirely about what one says, rather than what one does.
6. We are simply never interested in gossip
If your man dodges your calls or cuts them short just when you're about to unleash another unfolding episode of " The Real House-helps of Kawangware" then you should take a hint lady; He doesn’t share your enthusiasm in other people’s affairs. Simple!
7. Men have better things to do
I am sorry to be the one to point this out, but it's true. We just can't find a polite way of saying it, lest we get ourselves into an unending quarrel with you. We therefore just avoid the act of calling altogether. You can’t just expect your lover to be all ears when he has a business meeting coming up or a presentation to make.
8. Never ending stories
So we have established that men actually do like talking over the phone, as long as it lasts under a few minutes. But what annoys men most is when women divert from the theme of the phone call and go on for hours! This normally does happen when we actually don’t even want to listen to that story in the first place.
9. We actually do prefer dates
If you were to ask any rational guy to choose between a date and one long phone call, then the answer is definitely obvious. Men will prefer a date every single time. This happens because we prefer richer modes of communication; richness of a medium depends on the level of personal proximity and nothing can beat a face-to-face talk on that. Hence, guys will be more ready to go on a date than to simply answer the phone.
