Smilies In Guys Text Messages

wilmer mclean

Just a quick question for all the guys and girls out there. I use smilies in e mails, instant messages and on Internet forums, but for some reasons never in text messages. I dont know why this is it just feels wrong for a guy to do in texts. So if your a guy do you use smilies in txts or am I just being odd?:D

Y'cheap characterless bastard.:pac:

From what I can tell, guys don't tend to use smilies as much as women when posting

foxyboxer

It's quite awkward to actually put a smilie in a text (search for symbols > input ':' > search fro symbols > input '-' > search for symbols ')' > input). So if someone does include one then I appreciate that they went to the effort and must secretly want to ride me.

It's very important that you never ever engage in any social convention that makes you stand out amongst your mates. In this case, just analyze their texts and mimic their behaviour to the tee to avoid being ostracized. Like when monkeys all scratch their arses at the same time.

That might (and I stress, MIGHT) have been funny if I'd managed to quote the right post.

Jesus, I'm drunk.

Sorry Foxy.

I put smiles in alot, no idea why I do it, tis habit at this stage, only now that you mentioned it I copped on that I do it so much..

Mister-M5

In my opinion, guys sending them to girls is fine.

Guys sending them to guys is most certainly not.

Not homophobic or anything, just don't think it's cool

Nate--IRL--

I always use them, without them, banter in Txts is nearly always misunderstood and leads to grief.

Rocky_Dennis

I always use smilies in my texts because I'm a happy bastard :):):):)

Wolfe Tone

I always put smileys in my texts, but then again I'm a bit of a weirdo cause I never use text speak.

pablomakaveli

Everyone knows putting a smilie in a text to another man makes a you a gay.

OwlsZat

I use them alot, can't see what not really.

Have to say I agree with you.There actually almost necessary in a text for this reason, but I still dont use them but will use them in IMs and e-mails when there not.

double GG

They're great! How else can you call someone a complete and utter k**t and then throw a smiley face in and they'll be none the wiser!

ScumLord

Rarely ever use smilies online never mind in any other medium. All my texts are long and formal I even spell out "you".

drumlover22

I always use smilies online and in texting. this one tends to get overused a lot though >>>>:P

Napper Hawkins

I use them when texting girls.

Though I have mates who can't even bring themselves to put question marks at the end of questions as it's somehow unmanly to do so.

I avoid them as much as possible. I figure people who know me should know when I'm being nice, angry or sarcastic, and I think anyone who sends emoticons to someone they don't know is ****ing crazy.

Sooopie

Would have to agree, lads sending smiley texts to eachother is a bit gay

Chuck Stone

I use them to confuse people. Like this.

Oh man I'm feeling really down today, like everything is wrong.

Just back from town, some buzz. :'''(

I heard your father is very ill in hospital. :rolleyes:

I can't wait to see you when you get back. :mad:

Etc.

To be honest never got a text from a guy with a smilie in it.

maygitchell

Bitches love smilies

I do like that one. I'd be expecting you hiding behind the door with a hammer.

Are you using a late 90's Nokia?

Fluorescence

I probably overuse them in text messages myself, but I'm allowed because I have a uterus . I just find it helps to define the tone of a message.

I always use 😘 when dm'ing himself

I use the emoji keyboard on the iPhone. Some funny stuff, but only other iPhone users can receive them.

There is something slightly off about guys texting smilies to other guys. Sounds stupid, is stupid but it still feels some how wrong.

It's not like you're sucking their dick... Then again, if you send a kissy face then you probably are.

@efb - you know you're posting squares right?

dulpit

I never sent a smiley in a text. Then I met herself, and now I do :P

But only to her, not to anyone else of course...

Thats the thing. Its totally irrational but I just dont do it and havent received any either. With girls I have sent smilies a handful of times, to set the tone as someone else said.

Like this one?

"Hey baby, fancy dinner tonight? 8====D"

leggit

I use them in texts to girls (That I want to fu...) if they initiate the use of them, otherwise I never use them in any electronic medium.

Archeron

I only use this one.

haha not that bad. It is odd that a fair few guys use them to girls but not other guys. But then again....

That is only the case if you have a phone that was made in the stone age. All modern phones now have a 'insert smiley' option or something similar. :cool:

jdooley28

i sent her a smiley face, bitches love smily faces:)
