How Often Do You Get Trapped in Boring Conversations?

Men are more likely to say they're better at getting out of them than women.

A new poll asked people how often they get bored during conversations and almost half of us say it happens “sometimes.” another 31% of people say it “rarely” happens, and 5% claim they’re never bored. Old folks are far more likely to claim they rarely get bored. When we do get stuck in full conversations, we’re not all great at wiggling out. But, men are more likely to say they’re better at getting out of them than women. when people were asked how often they think the other person in the conversation is bored, the numbers were basically the same.
