OT: Men mean well sometimes.

(I forgot what I was going to say!!)

Oh, my mom and dad's term of endearment for anything was Punkin Pie. I even call Dillbird Punkin Pie Bird once in a while. Kind of like Sweetie Pie. Or Cutie Pie.

Significant Others are... interesting.

My exdh once told me I had 'ghetto booty' and meant it in a "I like your butt and hips" way. I took it in the "you have a bubble butt" way. Tell me, please, how at a sickish 108#, I could POSSIBLY have ghetto booty. The only body fat I'd managed to RETAIN was on my butt and hips.... and it looked oddly out of place on my stringbean frame. =P

He also decided to be sweet and buy me a bra once- one of those lacy numbers, despite the fact that I either went 'free-range' or in a sports bra. I attempt to put this bra on, and I left maybe an inch of empty saggy in it. I look at the size (I'm not going to SAY what size it was here...) and said "Hunny...? Why did you get a _insert size here__? I'm a ____."
His answer- honestly!- "Oh. Hm. Wishful thinking, I guess."
(hands on butt and looking deeply into my eyes) "If you had bigger boobs, your butt would make a little more sense." ... how utterly romantic.

ARGH.

My gf on the other hand...
...Venting becomes reverse-venting, which can lead to weird statements that aren't really positive, either... though they're meant to be.

"God, I hate my butt. I wish the butt of my jeans was baggy like yours" ...in reference to the fact that I honestly don't 'curve' into my jeans- and she wears hers like a **** model, and I had complained to her.

I get my hair cut in beautiful red spikes. I love my spikes. I think they're hot. GF on the other hand, is a pretty delicate, feminine girl, and thinks they look too... uh... well... yeah. So she insists on having a 'say' in how I get my hair cut. (I've managed to thus far circumvent her input) EVERY TIME I get my hair cut, though... "OMG! YOU DID IT AGAIN!" or "ARGH!" Except this time. This time she said "Oh! You look like a girl this time!" Are you kidding me?! I didn't even change anything.

I'm sure she'd have some wonders of silver-tongued eloquence from me... but fortunately, she's not on the forum!

OMG I just choked on my coffee.
