You both seem to ignore the fact that conversation is two way and that conversations from nothing ie. Small talk is extremely off-putting.

How am I ignoring that conversation is two way? I specifically mentioned it's a bad job when one person engages and the other half-asses it with one word responses.

I don't see what small talk being off-putting has to do with anything. I don't know if I even consider talking about your interests small talk, but okay. How else do you expect it to work?
