I think most people like talkative person because they are funny and not boring to be with. For me I like talkative people as long as what they are saying is interesting because me I'm a quite and serious type of person and i love listening to people story, I don't like that I am the one who's telling a story, what I like is I am the one who is listening and I just give suggestion or advice, but i hate nonsense conversation.

Hi, Ben 
I think I would like to be with a person who can be talkative at the right time and silent also at the right time. What I am saying is that I guess it would depend on how we know and understand each other. Noise can irritate me just like silence do sometimes. We really have to get along with each other.
Cheers!

Hi friend,
I also like to be with talkative people, who talk sense. its always better to be with such people, as they never let us feel isolated or bored. and we can learn many things from them.
I enjoy being with this people and make them talk more and more by asking few questions.

it depends if they are the kind who complains about everything. but i do like being around people who do talk instead of me doing all the talking and they just sit there.

Yes, I do agree and feels the same. I might take over most of the talking, but I always make the shy person feel involved in the conversation. Just speak slowly and get him or her to talk first.
have you tried sign language? Just say hello in the halls, ask him his name and introduce yourself if you already haven't. He will really appreciate it if someone is accepting of him or her. Don't rush it. I can almost guarantee that if you give a quiet person time they will open up to you. In a lot of cases we are like an oyster, if you open us up, you are likely to find a pearl inside.

I hate talkative persons, the kind of non-stop one. I also don't want to be with quiet persons, i feel bored. I want the not so talkative and not so quiet ones. Those that talks with sense and humor is nice to be with. Also people who knows a lot of things are alright because i may also learn from him.

When I am in a good mood I like talkative person.In this situation,I am one of the talkative persons,too.In contrast,I become silence and enjoy standing in quiet soundings in bad mood,so I like the silence person at my side quietly at that moment.

Hi, I like to be with someone who listens when he knows he needs to, and talks when he has to say something worth HEARING. I don't like to be with people who just talk and talk and talk about nonsense things. I'm a good listener, but only to those deserve to be heard. I also don't like to be with people who never talk. THAT IS TOO BORING!

When I was painfully shy I would agree with you but now I prefer a person who is neither Too talkative nor too silent. Conversation is a dance. It takes two for it to be an art.So I rather sit and talk to a person who can listen and then I will sit anf listen to them.

Since I'm one of those who is a good listener but does not frequently add to the conversation, it seems logical that being with another silent person might be boring. I've discovered that is not always the case, though. I have a friend who is quiet like me. When we are out in a crowd, neither of us has much, if anything, to say, unless she is addressed directly. It is different when she and I are alone. Somehow, we can find a lot to say to each other then.

It depends on what I am doing. Just hanging out I like quiet people. When I go out to socialize I like to talk and have talkative people around.

If I don't know the people, I prefer them to be talkative, because I find it difficult to start conversations and keep them rolling. But, if I'm with good friends or close family, either one works fine because we feel at ease with each other no matter whether we talk or not.

I'm a talker myself and I prefer those that are like me. I don't know what to think of the quiet ones...I tend to wonder what is going through their head...my mom always had a saying for those types-telling me to avoid them-she says "still waters run deep"

I'm still a little shy and quiet, so it would be too much to be in a room with another quiet person. Mostly, I agree with Rainegurl. When I'm trying to enjoy a movie, I don't like talkative people. When I'm at a sporting event, I don't like talkative people who want to blabber on about everything but the game, especially when it's a close game. But there are times when it's good to have someone who talks a lot.

Definitely someone who is talkative in that they are actually saying something. Too many people just talk to hear their voice and it gets annoying. So, if you have something important to say, I say let it out, otherwise, just don't talk at all.

Listening is an art, like good speaking is an art. Like someone sings well and the other not, but still can exercise some learn to sing, you can also learn to listen and learn. He also teaches others. Listen to the doctor teaches the patient. Listen to your mother teach a small child.Learn to listen to the wife of her husband, who has been affected by polio mluvidel. Not in vain to learn to listen until it's time.

I like to be with both silent and talkative people. I am very talkative myself, but there are some times when I have nothing to say and because I don't believe in talking for the sake of it, I am silent. I can be very comfortable in silence with other or when alone. I often spend a weekend alone when my wife goes to visit her mother, and I rarely see anybody or put the radio or TV on.. We can learn a lot about ouselves from being alone in absolute silence. _Derek

I'am also a silent type of person, and i want the both kind of people in some different ways. I want to have a silent person by my side in times of my needs. I want them to listen to me until i have finished all the things that i wanted to say. It's quite irritating if someone insist to talk while you are talking. And i also want a talkative person when i'm not in the mood because they can bring back my mood once they began to talk.

I prefer a talkative person as i am talkative too. The type who talk sensibly and somehow amusing. Whenever i am with this kind of person, i usually don't notice the time and how long we had been talking as i am enjoying the talk that we have had. Aside from being so, i also prefer a person that is talkative yet sensitive enough and knows how to keep silent when the need arises.

i have a mix friends of silent and talkative people. It really doesn't matter as long as you two get along well. I'm a silent type and I do get along with talkative people because I enjoyed listening to them. They say opposites attract. On the other hand, my silent-type friends don't seem silent when we are together because we talked a lot of things. heehhe.. The only thing that is important is that you two get along well.

I think a combination of the 2 depending on the specific situation is the best. I have personally dated both, and either can get on your nerves at times. The people who constantly talk sometimes just say things to hear themselves talk, and many times the conversation is pointless. Then again I have dated a person that when asked a question they always gave a one word answer. That is equally as annoying because it is nearly impossible to carry on any kind of conversation.
