I don't get it why girls tend to reply for about, I don't know, 4-10 minutes (sometimes more). Are they playing hard to get or they're just playing the waiting game or something? (Besides that I'm ugly which is not debatable)

Maybe you're uninteresting.
Well, I find most people are slow at replies, regardless of gender. I happen to be one of the faster ones, myself, though I'm better at it on Discord.

It's pretty simple: people-- both women and men-- are busy, and have more going on in their lives than a single conversation.

I often don't reply for hours or days at a time on Facebook, Skype, Tinder and the like, and sometimes I forget to do so altogether. Unless I'm really close with the person, or they have something pressing they need to talk about, I prioritise doing other stuff first. If that sort of behaviour bothers you, you should probably distance yourself from them a bit and think about your own hobbies or responsibilities.

Probably that they're either not very interested in the conversation or like others have said, they're busy with important things.

Generally, the female friends I talk to like to type in paragraphs and generally I don't want to read it so I postpone it for a different time period. At that point they pretty much text you back in 30 seconds or more.

Or sometimes they just text back 3 word replies and expect a substantial response to that. Then they'll text you back in 3 days.

Not really any safe middle.

In short, women are weird.

I rarely respond to anyone these days even in hours let alone minutes. If I do I really want to have that conversation. But like people have said here there's so much other stuff to do and I like my alone time too and don't feel like having any uninteresting chats during. There are so few real conversations nowadays... chitchatting is very draining so me not likey.

No, ok, seriously. It's because we aren't online all the time. We don't continue to reload the page waiting the answers of other people. We answer when we want.

I'm a guy and it could take me ages to reply to girls.
I just have shit going on in life or I could be juggling multiple conversations.

If it goes into days then yeah, that's taking the piss.
I prefer face to face though. I generally prefer it to texting.

2) they don't think you can quench that thirst
3) talking to people is effort
4) wanting to talk to people is effort

Last year the opposite happened to me: A girl I liked thought I was not interested in her because she answered me as quickly as possible while I answered after a while. Without letting out the fact that I was reeeeeally into her too, I tried to explain her that I didn't answer because I was busy studying or practicing or exercising outside, and that only led to some kind of "so you are saying I'm not busy too?! I AM BUSY TOO YOU KNOW" and it all went downhill from there lol

I think most people tend to wait with replies to appear busy and like they have better things to do or to just don't appear desperate as you've said, not just females.

No cause the pain of growing breast is not something men can handle.
The moment they start to grown breast, men would just play with them and wonder why it hurt's! lol

Use to have a Transgender friend back in the US who was on Female hormones.
The moment she started to grown breast she would play with them and make them hurt. Would hear her fuss to her female friends like me, about how growing breast really hurts. Would just laugh and tell her, welcome to growing breast as a female, enjoy that pain why they grow. XD

Well you see what they sent and you spend five minutes looking at it just thinking about what you might reply to them, after them five minutes if you don't think of anything you just leave it there for later.
Is what I do sometimes. lol

The too busy to reply excuse doesn't fly with me. If a woman keeps me waiting for days, I'll keep her waiting a lifetime.

Gotta find people more worthy of your time. 5-10 minutes is normal. Sometimes people can't think of things to say, but making you wait that long in the middle of a conversation is a bit rude.
