Cell phone text messaging

Gay or okay? I can't decide, however I do it sometimes. Thoughts?

It's incredibly gay.

My friend does it now as opposed to drunk dialing, and it has improved my life greatly.

I think its funny, but you would only really use it for a real situation if there is a reason you cant call, or they cant pick up a phone....

But then, why wouldnt you just leave a voice message?

Not gay, just pretty pointless.

i use it a ton...for when im in meetings or class and so r others...we can make plans....cause we cant call each other while were in these classes/meetings. Plus if im runnin a few mins late...its sometimes easier for me just to text someone - ill be there in 10

I don't even know how to do it on my phone.

I can receive text messages, and I do occasionally, but most of the time people just call.

All the different charges and formats make it really confusing.

i may start just because people have caught onto my strategy of "never listen to your voice mail and just call people back." maybe it's a good way to say something and get a call back where they understand the basics.

It's a great way to pass time while playing poker live. you are at one table, buddy on the other side of the casino or other side of town or something....

My phone is semi broken and as a result sometimes I don't even receive calls in the first place. Other times I get the calls but the phone doesn't ring or vibrate and its not silenced. Anyway the people that text me usually just text because they've figured this out and they know that even if they leave a voice mail I might not get it. They usually text: "CALL ME"

It's very good for casual convo's with people you don't really want to talk to on the phone, or if you just need to know or let someone know one specific thing.

What does whether other people thinking texting is gay or not have to do with your decision to do it anyway? If you find it useful in certain situations, then do it. If you don't, then don't. Who cares what other people think.
