Men who use emoticons - thoughts?
I'm fairly anti-emoticon. You should be able to communicate without the need for pictures. I have succumbed to accepting the occasional emoticon from various people. However, I always find it odd when men use them. There's no logic behind it, it just throws me. Somehow, I've internally labeled them as "overly feminine" I suspect. I wonder if that's because it is an emotion, in theory, and as so a historically feminine issue. I'll need to think on that more.
Bottom line, do you use them? Does DH use them?
Re: Men who use emoticons - thoughts?
I use them, dh uses them occasionally, some of my colleagues do in informal emails, both male and female... i don't have any specific preconception over a person regarding their typing style unless they appear illiterate.
in my mind, it's like the argument i have with a IRL friend regarding whether real men drive station wagons. i don't gaf because it's so common/practical in my world for a guy to drive an Outback or something, she thinks it's emasculating.
