fishtaco Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 So, are you sensitive? And loyal , kind,caring, and save small animals from the dangers known as cars? - I don't the sarcasm would matter much if you have those qualities. Wow! You've just described me! Except the sensitive, loyal, kind, caring, and save small animals part. Well, I better get back to the OT before the OP kills me... I understand what the OP was talking about. Even in humor, when the sarcasm is used as a joke, there's always a line. Once you cross it, it goes all bad. And blabing with poison dipped sarcasm, especially when not used in jokes, usually is a turn off for me, even if it's not directed at me... unless I happen to agree, like you know, talking about George W Bush or something. Then I'll laugh and high-five.
Disillusioned Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Sometimes it can be funny but more often than not it's hurtful. Hurtful is not a trait I look for in men. OTOH women are supposed to be hurtful. If she's not, something is wrong. But I digress... am I sarcastic? I wouldn't know. When I was a kid and told it like it is, my mother used to tell me to stop being sarcastic. So, I guess sarcasm means being factual, because I suck at lying and I usually end up getting busted for it. In that case, I'm the most sarcastic person on God's green Earth.

It wierd for me to see people to use sarcasm and being mean in the same context. I got told numerous times that I am too bold . I am not ,I just see no reason not to tell some how it is . I see no reason to sugar coat anything - that is lying in my book.If I see something I am going to say something about , I won't bull**** around anyones feelings. I see no point. However, I know when to shut up and I am not intentionally rude - so it works for me. However, I can see what the op is getting at but some people are just not made for everyone. I like my "sarcasm". That is me - you don't ,that is you. This is what makes the world go round - differences
threebyfate Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 "I don't know what to say about myself/I don't like talking about myself." Who does? It's understood. "I like to have fun" Who doesn't? It's understood. "I like all kinds of music...." Do you like polka? Children singing ecclesiastical songs and hymns? Ethiopian throat singing? No? Wait, thought you said all kinds. "I HATE drama!!!!11" ..Doesn't such strong language conjure karmic drama in your own mind? Honestly, I never believe that they really evade or damper any sort of drama "if you're a bitch, don't reply!!!" Colour me curious in wondering if that's the only type that would respond to this type of ad.. Lifesbeachy, what would you call your own humour in the above post? You might want to give these guys a break. They, like you, might not even be aware they're using sarcasm, especially if like you, they've been using it since they were in their teens.

But how I figure, I'm not on a date in front of the person or having a personal conversation with them saying such things as: "So I read you like to have have fun. Glad you stated that otherwise I would have assumed you like to sit in your dark, dank room BORED and WEEPING".. I think if one would keep going with that it'd be my definition of venturing too far. And my post wasn't directed at any one person. And, as I said some people can carry it well... It's just the point of when it wraps in a personal insult where it is bothersome. Maybe I am sarcastic and don't always recognize. But I'm not sneakily intertwining insults.. An example of something being too far would be: "So, I read you like to have fun. Seriously that's the best you can come up with? Call me when you're not so @#$%in' boring." Edited February 22, 2011 by LifesBeachy
ScreamingTrees Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 "So, I read you like to have fun. Seriously that's the best you can come up with? Call me when you're not so @#$%in' boring." Although I'd have to say I agree that "I like to have fun" sounds like empty filler, that's a total jerk right there. lol

These insults are intended to take you down a peg or two while making you laugh. Just give it right back to them and they'll wander away insulted, which is what you want with dorks like these.
Lilmisus Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I dunno...I personally love it when guys are sarcastic - to an extent. Maybe it's because I'm incredibly sarcastic, and so is my entire family; we all grew up this way. But with us our goal isn't to be mean, it's just joking around and messing with people - which actually gets me into more trouble then I care to admit, but it's just too much fun. So when I find a guy who I don't have to worry about taking my sense of humor the wrong way and who is free to join in on the joke, it feels like a huge connection, and definitely not a turn off. But to each his own, and if you don't enjoy the sarcasm, then it's great that you're planning on putting it out there as soon as you get to know somebody. Just know that there are different types of sarcasm (cruel, lighthearted, comical, etc..) and you don't want to turn away a potentially good guy who uses his sarcasm in a different - better way than the rest did.
