If you woke up tomorrow and were gay, wouldn’t that be a big deal?

Pussy.
Haha. You like it rough, huh?
I don’t care how many winky faces you make, there’s no way to joke about a girl’s weight, eating habits, or anything remotely connected to those things. [/quote]
one time this girl was eating ice cream. and i was like, woah - youre eating like a fat person
turns out the girl had an eating disorder and im pretty sure in addition to making herself throw up she cried for bout 3 hours straight.
…yea
I’m a big fan of smiley faces. They’ve become a staple in my conversations. Even with some of my guy friends. Then again it’s only with 1 or 2 and are on the same ‘no homo’ level. With girls though, its a must. (silly) <–emoticon
(:
Feels Good;)

Lacking some confidence? o.O
Yes. It’s also gay when guy’s write “hehe” to let you know something’s funny. Haha is ok though.
haha “hehe” is a bit gay when guys use it yeah.
Smiley faces fuckin rock, only good reason to use them is talkin with girls online…
it’s very flirty to have a conversation with a girl n shit and then be like yeah ill wrestle you, you know ill dominate you
that shit puts your foot in the door for more to come for girls when you meet up with them haha. maybe it’s just because I’m a young lad though…i’m sure it wouldnt work for 30 year olds meeting lol
Guys putting “hehe” is just plain gay no buts about it.
I use smileys all the time they rock!! :)(:
What about “hoho”? Santa uses it, so it must indicate friendliness, while allowing you to remain on platonic terms with the recipient, without them thinking that you want to be invited up for coffee…

AWW…I was hoping for a LOL of some kind. A lol, at least
What about exclamation points for statements that don’t need exclamations? Not to hijack, but I think that is along the same lines as using a smiley face…
It’s just become a part of on-line prose imo. Gay or straight, use the smileys. (I’m straight)Like others have said before me, they help convey the true meaning of a statement (serious or sarcastic etc).

It really does though. 30 is the new 20. Or maybe I’m just dating really immature women.
When I used “hehe” I thought “heh heh” not “hee hee”. Then I learned it was in fact a girly giggle and immediately stopped using it. XD
