This is especially true about conversations with the opposite sex. What i believe is there is a particular way of talking with girls so as to be liked by them or admired by them. I have learned this over years. But then this restricts me from engaging in to other forms of down to earth communications with them for the fear that they would find it futile and not keep their interest in me. Does it have to be so for women? Reply to this Question

 it totally has to do with the woman and what her life style is but when i talk to the opposite sex i like to talk about down to earth stuff. it makes me feel that he can be comfortable with me and thats important to me.

 It seems like you've put an awful lot of thought into this topic. Maybe too much. What's wrong with being yourself? If you feel like flirting, flirt. If you feel like talking serious, talk serious. I think the time and place dictate the type of conversation more than anything. If you're at a nightclub, you don't approach a young woman and ask her if she knows the difference between fusion and fission. On the other hand, when you're at your place of business, you don't approach a fellow employee and tell her that she looks exceptionally hot today and ask her if wants to do the horizontal hula. . . but that's just me. LOL.

 The tone of conversation is usually dictated by what you want from the person you're communicating with.
Of course you can engage in down-to-earth conversations with a woman as well as a guy. If the person is interested or not in what you have to say probably depends on their experience and personality.
But if you're trying to convey a message of you being interested in someone, then probably it works easier with a bit of flattery than talk of whether nuclear energy is better than oil.
