Is 'Phubbing' Ruining Your Relationship?

[HardOCP News]

Is 'phubbing' ruining your relationship? Are you phubbing one out while you are supposed to be paying attention to your woman? Do you even know what phubbing is? What if you are phubbing right now and you don't even know it?

We zeroed in on measuring something called "phubbing" (a fusion of "phone" and "snubbing"). It's how often your romantic partner is distracted by his or her smartphone in your presence. With more and more people using the attention-siphoning devices -- the typical American checks his or her smartphone once every six-and-a-half minutes, or roughly 150 times each day -- phubbing has emerged as a real source of conflict. For example, in one study, 70 percent of participants said that phubbing hurt their ability to interact with their romantic partners.

These days, my romantic other isn't phubbing me, she's have an aphair, I'm phuck-holded, it's a damned shame.

Steve liked my post, so at least someone is laughing

I don't have that problem. I mean not having a SO. #foreveralone

Note: I don't have that checking the phone every 6.5 minutes problem either. I average like once every 30-60 minutes.

Wow, I don't need my phone to be distracted. I see something shiny and immediately stop listening and think cool shiny object!

I guess I can blame phubbing the [H] forum before bed has decreased my sex life.

Thanks for blocking my cock, Steve!

Well, at least you're staying [H] one way or another...

Well phuck.

Mine claimed she would never be "one of those people" who uses their phone all the time, before we got smartphones.

...Yeah...

Bright side - I can play PC games as much as I want!

Phubbing just sounds nasty....like down and dirty sex with a midget.

You just went there

Wait, so a sexual partner that outside of the bedroom can entertain herself and yack on facebook instead of telling you some long drawn out story for the seventh time about how people you don't care about at her place of work are doing things you don't care about that annoy her, and having to not just repeat back the last few words to pretend you are paying attention, but actually store that info in memory for later retrieval since you know she's going to quiz you on it at some point... and this is bad?

This addiction sounds like a Godsend!

How old is that video? Looks like it was filmed in 2008. Square monitors, boxy phones, WTF!?

No, they will absorb all the new drama and tell you while they are resting from checking their phone then go back and eventually ask you a week later if you remember.

Sounds like you're in your phiphties and boring and she's not

 

[Tak Ne]

What kills my relationship is having to stop a conversation every 30 seconds to google what all these stupid made up words are supposed to mean.

What's so nasty bout that? Midgets need lovin too.

 

[B00nie]

We just need to send all our old smartphones to developing countries and the overpopulation problem is solved. Women will be so pissed off to the men playing with phones that they stop giving it out.

 

[prominentlecturer]

Well, I can say this. Without "phubbing" she would have had a hell of a lot harder of a time cheating on me.

Wait till she reaches for the phone WHILE your giving her the high hard one.

More like they are playing on the phone instead of sex.

 

[westrock2000]

At work I usually masticate once a day. But I usually do it out in my car on my lunch break so no one sees me.

You know, 20 years ago it was a hot taboo if a person could carry on a conversion on the phone while having sex. Now it's just fucking annoying.

And thanks to phacebook, there's new drama every phucking day -- minus the guy punching kangaroo days.

 

[nightfly]

Unless you're married and stuck with the person who's doing it, it's easily stopped. Just load up a nice porno onto your phone, play it, and watch her go ballistic that you're not paying attention to HER. Then claim that she was busy with her phone, so you were getting busy with yours. Do this each time she starts playing with her phone when she's with you. Works even better when the chick in the video is a hotter, prettier version of HER.
