I've been on dates though where the dude did not learn a single thing about me because he was too busy drawing out why he was literally the smartest guy in existence and how his scheme for XYZ was making him a very rich man soon. I like to look up one guy in particular on LinkedIn to see his current scheme that might get him into prison.
@kaia Some people treat dates like a job interview where they list their qualifications and hope they get a call back, and not as an opportunity to get to know the other person.
A lot of that is simply because men don't really care all that much about the particulars of the woman. As long as you're young, attractive, and don't have a penis, that's good enough.
Women tend to have more exacting standards, so men do more of the talking, at least at first when in the "job interview" phase.

yeah sure, but dating in a two-way-street. you tell a little, you listen a little, you have a conversation.
