Hate being called "very pretty" by a man I adore (young, attractive)

(Oh, and just for future reference, it's "fazed" - not "phased". Two completely different meanings!!! )

Gosh, don't you just hate when your guy says you're "very pretty" I mean, THE NERVE OF HIM

I know. I know.

A friend of mine told his obese wife that she was voluptuous and quite rightly she was incensed!

If he really liked her, he'd have said she was slim and if he was truly head over heals in love, he'd have called her skinny!

I was stunned he'd say such a thing and wonder how much longer she'll stay with him.

Some of us men are such knobs!!!

Not with those kinds of viewpoints, no, you can't.

What - if a guy has a certain command of the English language he's gay?

Aaaww, don't feel gay now, puppy![IMG]http://******************/obscene-smiley-7250.gif[/IMG]

Is it my fault most of the empirical evidence points to that?! Go be mad at your fellow Neanderthals!

Absolutely not. However, it depends on the context in which he is using those words and the man behind them that make the difference.

I love a man who can use his vocabulary well but I'm not necessarily attracted to a thesaurus either.

I am NOT a puppy!

...I am a pre-teen ring-tailed lemur, thank you very much.

So every male Shakespearean actor; every male English professor; every male writer is gay.

Huh...news to me.

And a BTW for ya' - I really don't HAVE any fellow Neanderthals. You are who you associate with.

Which reminds me - I gotta' leave this board.

I'd be willing to bet you WOULD be if you opened it up and a nice big consolador popped up!

As if you can! Makes one wonder why you need it provided you glide in such refined and sophisticated circles!
