"No, I don't like it. Face to face is the only way for me. Facial expressions tell so much about a person, body language too."
Yeah but after you have met them and want to arrange something again. It's more personal.

Talking on the telephone has it's issues:
You give someone your number so they intrude into your life whenever they want to. Apps allow you to log off.
Talking on the phone is more intimate than say relatively anonymous messages on an app.
You have to make time for someone to enjoy a call.
Phone calls are either related to work or for family and friends, not strangers off t'interweb.
In my opinion obviously.

Oh I quite enjoy a phone call. I prefer a video call but still, if seeing someone isn't possible it's nice to hear their voice and not just read their words. You can hear their warmth and understand their feelings far better. And it's fun! |

"Never been a fan of video calling.
I found I have become much better over the phone since being on fab. I do prefer face to face it's the only way for me to get a real feel for a person."
Absolutely. Nothing like sitting down face to face with people. Much more fun. |

I hate phone calls and usually do all I can to avoid them. I can glean plenty from long messages and failing that would rather chat in person |

Prefer the company in the flesh when chatting but don't mind phone or video calling, I just never seem to have the time to take a call when the caller does have time! Honestly I could probably chat to anyone via any media... I just like a chinwag

Nope, I don't even like it then although I will do it. |

I'm with you on that front. "
I think it comes from years of phone communication in my work. Before email it was common for me to talk to people from all over GB and the wider world for ages before actually meeting them. The difference between the phone persona and the reality was often staggering. |

I think your impression of me illustrates perfectly the difference between on line and in person impressions. Only I would know that of course because you haven't met me . |

Kind of similar for me, my first job was in one of the busiest call centers in Europe at the time. People used to wait ages on hold by the time they got through to me they were already 9 out 10 times the used to be vial and hard to deal with. I've hated answering phones since then. I do speak on the phone when I have too and I put people on speaker phone where I can. |

I wasn't point scoring 
I know I come across as traditional or possibly even old fashioned both here and in real life because I am but that doesn't necessarily mean that I possess all the characteristics you'd normally associate with that. I'm on a swingers site with my tits out for goodness sake!  |

Of course meeting in person is the only way as I'm a firm believer in body language being an amazing thing, but having a choice between messaging or talking on the phone, I'll pick the phone call any day.
Personality is easier to judge over the phone for me and I'm very different in actuality than online because my energy and humour doesn't transmogrify well into text.
A lot of people write amazingly when given time to plan a response and I have found this lacking when on the phone so saves me meeting them in person. |

I love talking on the phone, to get to know someone . I find it easy and natural. In person I do get more nervous, but with the right person, they can settle quickly |

People were usually pleased to hear from me because I'd be negotiating a purchase from them (unless they were late with delivering it) so I didn't mind talking to them. It was surprising though how many people with a confident phone manners were shy and retiring in person. |

Text to make contact, text to see if they can string some sentences together that make sense, see if they respond to my humour, see if they return for more: then it's face to face. Never found phone being any more or less reliable than texting, could be a friend lol. |

"I find it really odd. There a lots of people who are uncomfortable actually chatting to someone on the other end of a phone?"
Conversation with no visual feedback is always unsettling.
A significant chunk of communication has gone.
And youre on the spot. Have to stop what your doing and sit on a phone itd annoying |

With the choice of phone call or typing, which do you find the best/easiest is, as both are without visual but one is without any expression or articulation? |

Plus I love to hear different accents. I usually chat on the phone to those from further afield, because it take time to meet. I've been known to be on the phone for hours  |

Also I find that it's better for me knowing that the other person and I are concentrating on communicating with each other (ok I might be washing up lol) but still not thinking about other things. |

See thats what im like text is nice in that you csn both respond then reply at will rather than having to imediatley.
Everyone knows now that if they ring me i wont answer if its important to text.
But i also have no vibrate and no ring on my phone as i turned them off jist a little light blinks |
