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

You are very right dear face-to-face conversation gives you a clear opportunity to see the gestures and moments of other fellow and you can guess who intently s/he is talking to you. Thanks for being the first one to respond and you appear to be a new comer, therefore, welcome to my lot family.

You appear practical and it is good that you prefer face-to-face talk, talking to someone on phone loses many elements of real talk. Thanks for joining and sharing your opinion.

Hi Chaitra!
Indeed dear face-to-face conversation carries more life and value than telephonic conversation. It is always fun to see the moments, actions and gestures of other person who is in front of you. S/he can also like-wise see our actions so as to assess whether we are really interested in his/her conversation or not. On the other hand, the fellow on the other side will go on speaking and narrating his side of story, without coming to know whether we are really interested in listening to him or not or its vice versa is also true.

Congrats.. this discussion is listed in MylotDigest Today..

Thanks! Chaitra! I did not know about it, till I saw your comment.

ok.. did you saw it after my comment in the Digest? Hope you are happy now.. I was not seeing Digest before.. it is our dear friend Sreekala who motivated me to look into mylot Digest Daily.. I should thank her first..

I saw the digest alert, after reading your comments, I did not know about it till I read your comments. Yes, Sree is very right 'mylot digest' sometimes help us to respond to some very interesting posts. I also take a look at it, whenever possible.

Hi sweetie!
Infact face-to-face conversation appears more lively than telephonic conversation. It is always enjoyable to watch the real moments, actions/reactions etc.of other person who is right in front of you. You have said rightly that eye contact with the other person clearly tells us whether he is listening us with his heart of head or otherwiser. However, now a days people do not find time to visit each other, therefore, they resort to telephonic conversation.
Many thanks for joining us, sharing your views

Thank you, my friend. I really enjoy joining in friends' discussions.

So nice of you.

It is so nice of you as well.

Hi Sree!
There is not any question in the discussion, where you should agree or disagree with me. My question was clear, which of two you prefer. I did not say that all who talk on telephone fake their smile or anger. I know you are very very honest and you would talk on phone as you do in your real life, when you are face-to-face with someone. However, if you are really angry with someone and s/he is right in front of you, s/he can assess your degree of anger and react accordingly. However, while in a telephonic conversation, this aspect goes missing.
About telling the actual position of a person, you are very right, many a times, people give false impression that they are at such and such place and the actually they are not.
Many thanks for joining, sharing your bold views and many thanks for posting comments on 'I am perplexed'.

Deepak,

I am disagreeing on this line of yours, 'S/he may be conveying us some greetings with a fake smile, but we just cannot guess the same by his/her voice'.

I just mentioned a scenario, I did not want to say that everyone gives fake smile (I just wanted to say even if someone is giving you the impression that s/he is happy to hear you, you cannot actually guess about his genuineness because you cannot see him/her). If someone is talking to her/his beloved, s/he would surely talk with all the passions and real emotions, even on telephone.

Ok now I withdraw my disagreement.

Hi Vandana!
There may not be any doubt that one can feel the real expression in a telephonic conversation too, provided one is attentive. You see, it could hold true in case where are talking to someone close to us say our parents, brothers/sisters/friends. We already know about their real nature, so we can assess how they will talk, while they are conversing to us through telephone. However, is you do not know a person, then I think it is difficult to make out what the other fellow is actually feeling/thinking and its vice versa is also true.
BTW, who told you or claimed that I have grown up. I always feel that I have lot of growing up to do and I need to learn many chapters of life from friends like you.
Many thanks for enriching the post and for appreciating 'I am perplexed'.

Hi eureka!
I am really impressed with your imaginative and witty response. You touched a new dimension in the discussion. I will have to but agree with you that if it is a unknown fellow and there is prolonged conversation, it may be a thrilling experience to imagine about him/her, specially, if we have not seen each other in person. For example, if we both happen to talk one day (quite hypothetical situation), then we would definitely imagine about each other or if we happen to talk to someone from mylot, whom we have not seen in real life, we would surely feel excited to imagine about him/her.
In the second part of your response you agreed that if it is close relative or a friend then talking to him/her face-to-face will be more lively and will carry more value. You have said it absulutely remarkably that communication is not done through 'words' only, our actions/reactions and gestures make it complete.
Many thanks for enriching the post and sharing your candid thoughts, one of the best responses, so far, I would say.

Hello Zhuhuifen!
I am impressed with your thought about making an apology through telephone. If we are required to ask for an apology, we may find it difficult to say so, when the other fellow is face-to-face with us, however, it may become easier on telephone to do so because other person cannot read our our real facial expressions. Thanks for sharing and joining us.

Hi dear!
You are very right that now a days travelling and driving is a kind of great hassel and an expensive exercise, therefore, talking to someone on telephone is cheaper and safer option. Undoubtedly, we miss the real expression of the other fellow, while talking to him on telephone, therefore, we should sometimes see the person face-to-face. Many thanks for joining us and sharing your opinion.

Hi shona!
It is very true that our facial expressions and our eyes tell a lot about our intentions, when we are talking to someone. If I am talking to someone and I am not making eye contact, it means that I'm trying to hide something or I may not interested in that person. Real expressions can only be seen when you are face-to-face, this factor goes missing in a telephonic conversation. Thanks for joining us and you are a newcomer, therefore, welcome to mylot family. Hope to see you more in our discussions.
