Yeah I really hate how cell phones text messages have RUINED this society. I just hate when females want to text instead of talk, that is complete B.S. But to be honest it used to be ugly back in the day when a female would call the house late and everybody was sleep,or your folks picked up the phone when you were talking to a girl. So I would set it up to where around the time the girl would call I would cal the movie theater for the movie times and when she called I would click over. But if that phone rung and woke up my folks they would pick up and give the girl a piece of their mind. I knew the movie schedule inside and out all through high school. All numbers were remembered and today I could tell you one number in my phone. To the older fellas who said they feel bad for todays younger generation, I am right with you.

Damn I remember I had to have a pen everytime I went out never knew when you would get a number. I wonder if cats here ever messed around in the party line. I remember picking up mad chicks on that meeting up and not even saying hi to the fat %%*$$!.
On a side note I still remember most of my old friends house phone number.

I remember back in the day when 3 way calling was where it's at. Some thirsty chick calling up asking if you liked her homegirl and you knew both were on the phone giggling like, like, like... little school girls I guess

Walking the block macking a chick on the phone, but the phone starts to beep because you're too far from the crib, so you turn around and walk back up the block
I once got cussed out by a girls mom because she was only the line listening about how I smashed her daughter the day before
Til this day my phone game is impeccable
Late night conversations, hoping your mom doesn't wake up and hear you still on the phone >

Back in the day you had to have bravado and confidence to pull chicks...now all you need is a isp and a social media account to follow or like some pictures. I feel bad for this generation. Girls are too accessible for folks that have no business talking to them.

Nothing but truth from these 2 dudes
Having a beeper in high school got me more shortys than my iphone ever did
That 5 star notebook with the back cover full of numbers
Nothing like being in school being social all day, then coming home and hanging OUTSIDE and being social, then going home and falling asleep on the house phone with your shorty
Nowadays if u get 20 ppl in a room, 15 of them are tweeting each other instead of talking

Word also the times running in the bodega and asking for a pen and brown paper bag to write the number on.Originally Posted by Ruxxx
Yup and if you didn't have one you sure as HELL got one when shorty was about to drop the math. You would get the pen/pencil and paper from a cat you never talked to a DAY in your life.

At first I liked texting cause you could be witty. But now it's annoying. Much easier to read the situation on the phone than with a text.
Regardless, at the end of the day, text/email/call/chat/video-chat/social-apps are all just prelim. I don't get those who engage in these things when they have no chance of progressing any further other than to practice I guess.
