That’s why it’s a game.

If I run out of interesting conversation starters, I default to weather/work/family and carry on.

I simply prefer to start with unique/contextual topics first.

bluGill: "how is your family" $another-guy: oh, still dead after that train crash. or bluGill : "what do you do for work" $another-girl: why are you asking? Do you have a problem with that? ... fun conversations indeed.

  • I don’t understand what you’re trying to communicate.

    I don’t have a problem with those questions. I do have a problem with getting bored at social events by boring boilerplate conversation, and I shared my strategy for having interesting conversations.

    I’m happy to debate you if you clearly state a viewpoint.
