samsungxoxo Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Yea since it's always written about the man doing the sarcasm, how about the other way around. We take turns in our relationship, off course not in the offensive matter, but in the joking, comical way. As much as you guys challenge us, so do we, so it makes it even.
VandGsMom Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Oh, sarcasm is an artform; and the best indicator of whether a potential mate has their lightbulb screwed in all the way. I hate those simpering people who are constantly so insecure in their joking around that they have to explain or ask "did that upset you"... Have some balls and just let the joke sit as is.. I will tell you when you piss me off. Rant over. Good point, Ailec.
Pyro Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 That is a big plus when the woman can be a smartass, because I can be quite the smartass. A definite plus for a woman to be able to take a joke and not take life seriously all the time.
Storyrider Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I think this has to do with family background. I come from a family of smart asses, so it seems like the most natural thing in the world to exchange sarcastic remarks with the ones I love. People who don't grow up that way don't seem to like it.
Trialbyfire Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I'm sarcastic probably 90% of the time. I've been called a smart-ass all my life and can't seem to help it.
Teacher's Pet Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 My ex was the QUEEN of sarcasm. As a comedian, I can appreciate it...in limited doses.. LOL I had to draw the line at "Oh, it's SOOOO big......" -tp SO awful
DanielMadr Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Too much is sometimes just too much. It is wise to balance the sarcasm with other, better, more romantic signs of affection Sarcasm alone can be pretty annoying and in hard times can even hurt.

I'm pretty sarcastic but dude people take it too far. I think that the ability to take sarcasm too far comes from being too self absorbed to realize how your communications affect other people.
Lostgurl Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I've been a smart *ss all my life, and have grown up with three older brothers who were rough... So my personality is some what boyish with the cursing and sarcasm and my mind is ALWAYS in the gutter.... Not too many females like my sacastic personality but hey.... I am who i am and will never change and when i do make female friends, the friendship is very profound.
JCD Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I only use sarcasm with people that know how to take it and return it back to me. Even then I do it in moderation and at appropriate times. I always try to make my sarcastic comments funny and I don't say it to make people mad at me. If I get angry at someone I don't use sarcasm but I tell it to them straight.
IpAncA Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 OMG I use sarcasm on a daily basis. Its part of me. It's so hard on here to not post it believe me. My dads side of the family has the sarcasm gene and boy o boy can we get each other going. Of course we don't take it seriously but I sure do know how to make someone laugh. I have of course got myself into trouble with it lol!! O well they will get over it. It's so hard not to finish this sentence when someone asks "where should I put this" I laugh everytime or just bit my tongue lol!!!
alphamale Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 i was english comedy to keep my sarcastic side finely honed....things like montey python and the like
Pyro Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I agree. I'm pretty sarcastic but dude people take it too far. I think that the ability to take sarcasm too far comes from being too self absorbed to realize how your communications affect other people. Wow, very well put.
Great Gazoo Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I love humor and I can be sarcastic and like they say if you can't take it don't dish it out but like everything else only in moderation. There are times for it and times to just keep your mouth shut.
mental_traveller Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Funny sarcasm is cool. Bitterness is not. Also, if a woman wants to be sarcastic then she has to agree not to cry when I put a verbal beatdown on her for the umpteenth time
Mr. Lucky Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 I tell my wife that if we deprived her of the right to be sarcastic, she would be about as vocal as Marcel Marceau. You have to learn to live with a sarcastic spouse and a big part of that is agreeing which lines can or can't be crossed. It takes some trial and error... Mr. Lucky
