What is a dull guy?

Boring people are predictable. They use too many tired cliches. They agree too readily and too often, and they rarely express any strong opinions of their own. Bores can sometimes be overly-solicitous—they appear too nice, always complimenting others over and over again.

We’ve all known people who are charismatic: They seem to light up the room when they walk in. And, when you interact with them, you come away feeling good and energized. On the flip side are people who are bores: They suck the life out of the room, their conversation is tedious, and you can’t wait to get away from them.

Here are 5 signs of a boring person.

Negativity. Nothing is more boring than a person who always sees the negative side of things—a person who complains constantly. Every time you try to bring up something positive (“Don’t you just love amusement parks?”), the bore complains about it (“too crowded, expensive, dirty…”). Superficial. The bore doesn’t engage in deep conversation. Instead, the boring person talks too much about unimportant things (e.g., the weather), or repeats the same things over and over. It’s impossible to make any sort of real “connection” with someone like that. Impassive. Unexpressive, speaks in a monotone, doesn’t make eye contact, seems completely disengaged—this is a sure sign of a bore. Self-centered. Boring persons talk too much about themselves and show little interest in others. The self-centered bore holds the floor too long, is long-winded, and when telling a story takes forever to make a point. Predictable. Boring people are predictable. They use too many tired cliches. They agree too readily and too often, and they rarely express any strong opinions of their own. Bores can sometimes be overly-solicitous—they appear too nice, always complimenting others over and over again. So, is a bore hopelessly sentenced to a life of exclusion and loneliness? Of course not. Any bore can turn it around by developing better conversational skills—becoming a better listener, learning how to take turns effectively and not dominate a conversation, preparing stimulating topics or stories beforehand. In short, becoming a bit more charismatic. My friend and former colleague, the late Bernie Carducci, wrote a book called: The Pocket Guide to Making Successful Small Talk: How to Talk to Anyone Anytime Anywhere About Anything. He suggests that anyone can develop the ability to be a more interesting conversationalist—to develop, as Bernie says, "the gift of gab."

What is text blasting?

A text blast, is a single text message that is sent to a large group of people all at the same time. SMS blasts are an excellent way to reach the masses when important information needs to be communicated in a timely manner.

The Difference Between

Group Texts & Text Blasts

People are sometimes confused by the difference between a traditional group text on your phone and an SMS blast. Yes they both involve sending text messages to several people at once but there are big differences between using a group text and a text blast service. First, group texts typically have a hard limit of 10 to 15 recipients. This places a huge constraint on your ability to reach the masses. When using text blast software, there's no real limit to the amount of people you can reach with a single send. Secondly, one of the most annoying things about traditional group texts is that when someone responds, it's sent to everyone. When using a text blast app or service, that doesn't happen. When people reply, those responses are private. You can then use the interface provided by your service to text each person individually without bothering everyone else on the list. The third difference between group texts and SMS blasts is the ability to opt out of future messages. With group texts, it can be impossible to remove yourself from the group. SMS blast services, however, are required to provide a way for people to opt out. People can remove themselves from future messaging by simply replying with the words STOP, END, UNSUBSCRIBE, or CANCEL.
