talkin about other guys

[L-I-B]

when a girl starts talkin about ex's or other guys........what are some good techniques to get the convo in another direction?

If that happens to me, I usually deflect the comment with a brief acknowledgement, then I gently but firmly steer the conversation in a different direction with a QUESTION. This will make her more willing to make the transition from one topic to another, and it also makes it apparent to her that you're willing to listen, just not willing to listen to her talk about other guys.

Yeah very good advise. Dont let her start talking about other guys, I once did and the girl didnt fukcing stop. I ended up telling her that all this talk could not make me Jealous because I could not be Jealous. Well, after months and months of her trying, it pretty much destroyed our relationship and she did succeed. Make her stop STRAIGHT AWAY, if she doesnt, this is one situation, and I am not a firm beleiver of this policy as many of the guys on this board, but, NEXT!!

It also depends on the ex talk. One chick I was recently with told me a pretty damn funny story about an ex of hers (he turned out to be gay). Also, since I had met her through an online site she told me about a couple disasters she had.
