I'm sorry, but no man would ever be as explicit in the get together request. That's a text from a woman, not a man. I can see "are you around on Thursday for happy hour", but presenting a topic of discussion? And location in the first text? Not going to happen.
Yes, they need to be clearer, especially with regards to watching a video/listening to an album. But most men I know would rather talk it all out in person vs a text with a lot of info.
Yes, Pam! You're totally right! Men, generally, are not going to text like that. But they're also not getting responses to their invitations, per the article. Something has to change, right?
When your boss says, "Step into my office. I want to talk about your future at the company," most people would drop what they're doing and walk into the office. However, when a friend says, "Hey! Let's hang" and you don't reply, it's because the invitation either wasn't clear, wasn't compelling, or both.
My hope is that men start putting more effort into their invitations so their friends can say yes to them.
