"User" Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 On a related note, the term 'mate' here means good friend, elsewhere it means gf/bf. It was confusing at first when I posted in my native slang and people thought I was gay, or my posts didn't make much sence. Yeah, I have a friend at work who is British and I always needle him about that. He uses "mate" like...every time he refers to me. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballisticwaffles Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Do n0t idally compair something as mundane as singles day with TalkLikeAPirateDay. Who gets picked on for being single? serially, i personally thought valentines day was a day to feel romantic, not to piss of others who are not currently involved with someone.

I also have a different side than everyone on this because I have the ability to satisfy my needs with women without being in a relationship. Call it being an asshole, Or Pro.

Maybe he means mate in the context of 'idiot with stupid haircut' kidding of course. I bet that's not good for you. People across the pond are really paranoid about gays so I bet you get some stick when he's around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is about SAD first and Valentine's second, we're talking about the self defeating purpose and all around BAAAAAWWWW singles awareness day brings, not that Valentine's is a stab at singles because it's not.

Being single isn't entirely bad at all, in fact it's a plus for many people I know. Said people can normally very easily find a GF but they prefer not to get involved with someone because they don't want to be committed and thus limit their options in the field of women. Some of them are more promiscuous then others and enjoy things like bar hopping more so I'm sure that plays a factor. I mean...if I was a player AND had girls after me all the time there is no way I'd NOT want to be single. Maybe he means mate in the context of 'idiot with stupid haircut' kidding of course. I bet that's not good for you. People across the pond are really paranoid about gays so I bet you get some stick when he's around. Well, I playfully make fun of him all the time - telling him to "stop being British" and "stop calling me your BF", among other things. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Eh, I'm single but really, I don't care. I'll finish high school then perhaps worry about that. Probably after college, though. I don't need a girlfriend consuming study time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
