Terms of endearment

[charliebear]

You can call me "gorgeous" any time.

Aren't you a man? 

Kevin

Sigh....no.

I liked the part where Debra Winger died.

I havn't seen Titanic, either.  Don't tell me how it ends.   

Boat sinks.

I would never use a term of endearment with someone I knew casually, or not at all.

Indeed.  What the heck is the point, other than implying a false familiarity?

[Eochaid]

Sigh....no.

Hey Gorgeous! How you doin' 

Kevin

I guess I better stop calling everyone I meet casually "assmonkey".

I'm not sure this is wholely the case, especially when used by women in a traditional market setting; certainly its more sincere than the automata "have a nice day".

Yeah, but traditionally, those women are man-hungry spinsters, and I always figured them calling their male customers "honey" and the like was wishful thinking on their part.

All kinds of people call me honey and dear. I think it is because they think I'm a child.

Why the frown?  Isn't that what you want?

To be a child? No, I don't want to be a child.

You've been given a gift that the vast majority of gays would kill for.  To appear youthful, while maintaining an attitude that tells everyone around you still have that junior-high mentality.  You people love that sort of thing.

That's the problem right there. Gay isn't my only identity.  Also, I disliked junior-high.

It's enough of you.

You might have disliked junior high, but you never got past it.

[garbon]

You might have disliked junior high, but you never got past it.

Actually I did. Very little in my life is similar to my life in junior high.  Although, I do still play computer games.

You post like you're in junior high.  Also, you're gay.

[garbon]

Also, you're gay.

Well it is true that people in junior high often use "gay" as a pejorative.
