Please discuss why below. Also, if you respond to the poll, please give your age, gender, and home country, because I'd like to get an idea of the representative sample that I'm getting responses from. It's scientific! :-D

No it isn't, its a convenience sample.

OT:

I like small talk

I am 15

I am male

I live in San Marcos, Texas
I also like small talk, and I'm 15 and male. But I live in Canada.
I wouldn't usually ask, but could you guys maybe invade my country and impose socialized healthcare on America? At the rate our politicians our moving it'll probably never happen on its own.

hahaha

It's not too bad, sometimes it just feels a bit forced.

EXAMPLE: I was dressed as Pyramid Head on Halloween, went to a party in which I knew 4 people, no one at this party knew who I was suppossed to be.
Some girls laugh at my because I wasn't slutting it up as they were, came over and just did the 'Hi what's you name?' etc. I didn't really want to talk to them but it went on and on until one said "What are you anyway?" "I'm Pyramid Head." "Riiiight... and what do you do?" "I rape the shit out of stuff."
And that was that.

Oh 19, female from Leamington Spa England. :D

In terms of military might, that would be like one lone wasp attacking an entire colony of army ants.

I like small talk, it's light enough to carry in a standard trouser pocket and immensely versatile.

Yes, well, my ulterior motive for this thread was to find out what kind of people really frequent the escapist. So far, my suspicions have been confirmed.

Generally dislike small-talk (awkward at first, once the awkwardness mas passed I'm fine though).

I'm male, 15, live in Canada.

I don't mind aimless conversations with good friends, but that's not small talk. That's just saying stupid stuff.

I find small talk aggravating purely because it most often occus with peple I don't know well and/or don't like.

EDIT: 19, male, Australia (specifically, Melbourne - if you care)

I can't stand small talk. It's awkward and painful and I don't know what people want me to say. I'm 19, Female and live in Australia.

If you like small talk, though, here's the television show for you.

Damn, I didn't read the original post close enough. (I swear that's the first time, guys!)
Ummm...
I don't avoid small talk.
Small talk can be amusing, especially when you get going on something smart, and the other person has no clue what's going on.
But, if these are to be scientific, you can disregard a vote for 'no'.
Because I confirm with no one anything about me other than my country. Which is Canada.
(Though, quite a few Canadians like small talk cause we're all polite and crap.)
I give you not any further concrete proof of my identity.
Not yet, anyway.
(What? It took me six months before I even made a friggin' account! It's gonna take me longer to give you anything else about me besides just mah country!)

Generally can't stand it. Always been prone to social awkwardness, often drawing a blank while having a conversation about things I don't care about (how about that weather? more like, who gives a fuck about that weather?)
