Which is more interesting - telephonic conversation or face-to-face conversation

Hi deepak, I can’t agree with you this time. I can’t greet a person with a fake smile and if I don’t like to convey my greetings then I will prefer ‘not to call’. If I am doing something, I really meant it. If am angry on a particular friend I won’t keep contact and if the friend calls me I can’t talk friendly with her. I will reply only on her questions. In other words the caller can easily understand my emotions towards her. But the mobile phone is giving a facility to make the caller a fool. I heard that many people are lying they are in ‘some’ place but the exactly they won’t be there but in some other places. May be people are there from my point of view I can’t agree with you.

Hi Deepak.. According to me face to face Conversation is more interesting.. as you said we can see the emotions of the person to whom we are speaking.. but in a phone we cant see the true emotions.. some of them might be simply saying good things to us but their expression may be opposite to what they are saying.. but when our near and dear ones are very far from us then we must depend on the phone to keep in touch with them..

I hate phones ! The only reason I use them is for emergencies and even then I hate it. I either write emails or be here on my Lot to talk to friends or I will see them face to face. when I met face to face I can really understand the other person. On th phone I am not sure if I have their true attention or evn if they can undestand me. But with that said I find emails are even better, You can write your true feelings and the other person can read them! Your real meaning is written. There isn't any mis communication problems and you aren't distracted by how the other person looks like. I Really like that it is written and you can read whenever you want.There isn't a time limit . so you can take yor time and read uinstead rush through it because of your lack of time. And being written , yo can keep it. That can come in handy if you are dealing with an liar. I like it too because I can keep All the good things a peson has written too.

I see want the face to face conversation. Your ideas are just perfect to explain it. I want to see the face of the person I am talking too, I agree he or she will be faking when she/he says he/she is happy with their lifes, but when i see their faces even when if they did not talk about it I can feel it and I can see their gloomy eyes. You can also detect by their actions if they are lying. If we had a chance lets have communication with them in person, but if they are no chance of meeting them we can see them on internet web cam.

Yes, i prefer face to face conversation than audio or phone calls. Talking face to face although you are far apart can make a big difference. Yes, you can see the person's emotions thru her facial expressions. I am a person who have this habit of making eye contact with the one i am talking to. it is a better way of getting to know each other and in that way you can be assured that you are talking to a real person.

hi deepak, i think through internet and telephonic coversation is the best, because, i had met most of my friends like this, we share our feeling through this, we all are understand each other without seeing eachother. and we are eager to see face to face also. but, most of my friends are living outside banglore, we just exchange photos. see, we chat regularly we impress our feeling daily, then what will remain to talk directly, just to see their face, we have to meet that's all. but definetly we all meet one day. i love friendship more than family. thanks for your topic, have a nice day. nice to meet you my friend.

Well, now a days it has become so much more convenient to pick up the phone and call someone, and especially do this over seeing them in person if they live a ways from you. I think sometimes though it is better to see them in person than to talk on the phone as you can see their real expression and know how things are really going for sure. But since it is expensive to drive or travel around I guess calling someone is the next best thing to do.

i would prefer face to face conversations but as you rightly pointed out,it may not be always possible in todays fast pace,thats one of the reasons why i love family gatherings.if a person is not so familiar to me,i would like to have telephonic conversations.

I had rather talk to someone in person. When talking on the phone you can't see their facial expressions. A voice on the phone sometimes can be very misleading.

For people you are eager to meet, face to face conversation is the best choice. But time and space limit us to enjoy the luxuary, hence the telephone conversation come to our assistance. One special merit is to send apology through telephone, which saves the speak out face to face, while the issue is resolved as well.

Hello, dear! I find telephonic conversation interesting.I am thrilled imagining the person I am talking to especially if he/she sounds good i.e bedroom voice, good diction and pronunciation and grammar and witty. This is true to someone I haven't met yet and only dealing through phones or internet.It interests and amuses at the same time because of curiosity and the mystery of not really knowing the person on the other end of the line. However, maturely speaking, when it comes to our love ones, there is nothing more rewarding and interesting than to talk to them in person. No matter how good conversationalist we are, it is always difficult to convey our feelings without seeing the other person.There are certain things that words can't accurately describe.Because in communication, words are not all that matter. ;-)

Hi deepak I like face to face conversation. Because while conversing with the people face to face there is some enjoyment. But if we converse in the phone, only their voice can be heard and it would not feel lively.

Hi Deepak, that is not true! Even in telephonic conversation, u can get the real expression if u r attentive and sensitive enough. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. U can make out artificial modulation from the genuine one. U've got a lot of growing up to do. Eventual goal is to enjoy the silence. :)

Hi, I would prefer face-to-face conversation rather than telephonic conversation,because when you talk face-to-face you get to see the real expression of the person you are having conversation with.In phone sometimes one may sound very friendly,but in actual may not be wanting to talk to you.When you talk face-to face,you can understand what the other person feels about you,as eyes express ones feeling better than voice.

I feel that face to face communication is much more authentic, and should be used in cases where you feel that someone might lie to you otherwise. Now, communication on the phone should be reserved for a quick asking of how one is doing, or calling during a lunch hour. My husband and I do our serious talking whilst face to face with light conversation or maybe a reminder to talk about something more serious later, on the phone. I hope that made sense, the last sentence that is. In any case, of course there is the advantage of being able to physically touch someone whether it be a handshake, a light shoulder grasp, or a full blown makeout, whatever the case may be.

Either can be interesting. Telephones are certainly more convenient unless you have your hands full and cannot hold the phone. Face to face usually requires sitting somewhere and that is not always an easy thing to do if you are busy.

Hello Deepak, I can't help but agree with you. It is better to talk face-to-face than through telephone. Face-to-face conversation may review the emotions and feelings from the other party.

Hi dpk262006 I wonder what's the meaning of that numbers.. Ah, "near and dear ones" really a nice phrase! You're very right about camouflage Honestly I often do that, angry but still talk politely and calmly, when in reality I've hit my pillow several times,,hehehe.. I believe both of them (phone and face-to-face) have its own uses. I found, sometimes, in face-to-face conversation, I run out things to be talked about and the conversation end with awkward silence. In telephone conversation, this uncomfortable silence can rarely happen, since we're surrounded with different environment and things to do, we can talk about that to our "near and dear ones" throught telephone. we can grab some snacks and continue that phone conversation or watch DVD while talking to our friends on the phone. He/she can talk to us about everything around her since we don't know the real situation. Telephone really helps when we need quick help and informations, no need to come search the real person. For me, face-to-face conversation becomes interesting because of the frequency of phone-talk is more than face-to-face. So there's some kind of miss feeling, wanna see the real person and talk face-to-face ,see others real and natural gestures, expression, etc. But you know, it is kinda boring if we need to meet the person directly everytime we need to talk.

Nothing can replace face-to-face conversation with a friend or loved one. The intimacy of it connects people in ways that telephone conversation cannot.

ya. does this go with written books too? would you devaluate the credibility of the story because the person was different than you expect? actually. i don't really care. i'll just go along with whatever happens.
