Yawn Ball: The Game & The fragility of phatic communication.

Hello friends! Among the hundreds, nay thousands, of terrible things men do on dating apps, is the strangely common proclamation of hating small talk. The worst of them insist that they’d prefer to immediately engage in the nebulous and vaguely terrifying activity of “deep talks”, which I think is bro-speak for “having an actual conversation” but could very well also be you burying me alive while crying about your shitty dad. Making hating small talk part of your personality leads me to believe that A) you don’t and won’t give a shit about making me or anyone else feel comfortable and B) you would likely ghost if I obliged and instantly began talking about my family’s history of cancer instead of asking how you’re doing today. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT CURTIS??? IS IT??
