Guys, why can't you answer more than one question at a time?

I've noticed that the men in my life (boyfriend, brother, male friends), seems to handle one question at a time. When I text them multiple questions, they usually only answer the last one. The second last gets completely ignored.

My female friends don't seem to have this problem.

Why do men do this? I'm genuinely curious!

I don't know about brother or male friends but if a guy is really, really into you, he will reply to every damn thing.

Okay he is not really, really into me. Thank you for the reality check πŸ₯²

Also if he is really really into you, you can just whisper the question. Why text?

Think it's about putting out fires. You out out the most imminent one first. If the fire is put out, amazing. Otherwise if other smaller fires become big ("Answer this one too"), the you start the process again

Also, there are some questions which don't merit a response - "Why have you been talking to Domino's Pizza every night at 2AM". So, we don't answer those

@DaringTrain Hahaha don't talk to Domino's or Pizza hut πŸ˜‚

But I do this, cutely put back the question that was missed. Also, keeps the conversation from dying

Those guys you are chatting with, just don’t care for you, or what you think. They reply just for the sake of it. I always reply to all questions.
Usually guys reply with twice the intensity, if they are really interested. If not, what you wrote, is what they may do.

It’s not a gender thing. Only people who care about you as much would answer multiple questions at once. And pretty stupid and entitled to just shoot the questions at the other person. Have some empathy, have some patience, decency to ask one question at a time.

I've seen the same behaviour in women as well haha

I guess it's more to do with answering the most relevant/important question

What I have got from the thread, apparently the other person is not interested enough
