Is swearing a major turnoff to guys?

Is swearing a major turnoff to guys?

 

His Answer: “Yes it is, everyone slips every now and again, but guys don’t expect girls to be rugged and use profanity," dishes Kemp, 16. "Girls who use profanity tend to come off as self-conscious because they don’t care about themselves enough to talk and conduct themselves with dignity.”

 

Decoded: We can’t be prefect ladies ALL the time, but constantly cursing can reflect poorly on your character. Guys wanna show off a girl that’s proud of who she is, not someone who hides behind nasty language.

 

Your Move: Next time you curse think about how it looks to other people. What kind of perception are you giving others? There’s nothing wrong with being one of the guys, but it’s important to remember that your crush may not dig the nasty language. He’s probably looking for a gal that he can introduce to his ‘rents and you wouldn’t wanna use bad language in front of them would ya? It can be hard when profanity has become such a huge part of our culture, but taking a second to think about what message you’re really sending can only help you in the long run.

In my school, everyone curses, so it's not like the people there consider it bad or anything. Some guys like when girls swear because then (in my school) they feel comfortable that they can say that without offending anyone. But I think that a guy will like a girl even if they swear or curse because that's just who they are. ;)

I agree. It's ok to swear if ur like SUPER mad (i don't) but not all the time.

So my best friend got a boyfriend and I'm really happy for her because I know how happy he makes her but everywhere we go she brings him and I feel like a third wheel. Ive hung out with she and him the past to weekends and this week we were gonna go to a football game just us girls and it's tomorrow and then she called me earlier and asked if it was ok if he brought her bf after she already invited him its not like I could say no but the entire time we hang out their just focusing on each other and my best friend and I havn't hung out just us in months. And this was the game I was finally gonna talk to this guy I think is cute and now I don't feel like I can. I just am sick of it and I'm too scared to say anything to my BFF. She just doesn't get it.

 

Hey GrassFairy, I completely understand where you're coming from. My bff put me in this sitch a few times. You just have to break it to her gently. Next time you want to hang out with her and she asks if he can come try something like "I really wanted it to be just you and me this time." or "Can we have a girl day. I love (her boyfriend's name) but I need to be with just you". I think she'll get the hint. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I think there are some guys who like when we swear, many dont but I think some do. I dont know why, it could be because they think we can talk on the same level.

And not all words are swear words, some are slang words. Like one of my friends think saying the word "balls" is a swear word, but most of us know it isnt, its just a slang word.
