I know several girls who like to tell you stories, in text or real life, about shit that is boring and not pertinent at all to my life. "my friend Jenny won't talk to me now, because I said her aunt was bitchy for kicking her brother out...." Or the classic: Tales of Workplace Drama, which (spoiler alert), is always a snoozefest. How do you maintain relations with ladies, and not get sucked into talking about stuff that you find boring?
