Yet Another Male Perspective:
Phones are hard.
When I talk to people, I am always thinking about their body language, tone of voice, eyes, what they are saying, tone of voice.... Meanwhile, when I am on the phone, all there is is their tone of voice and what they are saying.
This leads to distraction and to confusion: one's voice isn't enough to always communicate what one means, and it is hard to just focus on a voice. Which makes talking on the phone hard.
And then people expect me to pump out entertaining narrations of life events on the fly! =)
Does he always refuse to talk to you on the phone? (in which case, twap him upside the head) Or, is it "on Thursdays, we play Starcraft all night with the buds"? Or somewhere in between?
