Hi, this may not be a dating post but it is a post on how the sound of male strangers (men who I've never spoken to before) can be off-putting. If I want to connect this situation to dating, I can venture to say that the tones of men's voices can be a deterrent (for me) against wanting to actually be with or look for a man. For example, I tried to call one of the County's departments. A man picked up and I asked him about something. He sounded very dry and matter-of-fact (I think it was more than just "trying to be professional.") It reminded me of the fact that most men don't seem to be very emotional (when I say emotional, I mean a good kind of emotional, not the deranged shit they spew out when they get rejected). They don't sound caring. They don't sound receptive to your concerns. Just a dry voice with short responses. So many women are looking for men who care about them (dream on right?) and just the sound of some of these men's voices makes it seem as if a lobotomy was performed on them and they're missing a part of their brain that contains empathy and understanding.

I was waiting to speak to customer service last week and the prerecorded male voice sounded so arrogant that I got all annoyed.
