"You have tacky taste," "you talk a lot... and sometimes too much," "It's interesting that we're dating because you're not really my type." These and many many more dangerously blunt sentences have escaped my lips when talking to friends and women I'm dating. Luckily, most of the people I frequently hang out with don't seem to mind and usually dish it back. Just know this: once I become even somewhat comfortable with you, I automatically will assume a thickness to your skin. When it comes to my opinion and my observations, I often suspend what tact I have and will speak as my brain has initially ordered my thoughts. Except to edit any vocabulary/profanity issues, my mouth will be stripped of all filters.
Let's say a woman asks "does this make me look fat," or even more simple "how do I look?" Now, an intelligent heterosexual male would reply "you look great," or (for the long-termers) "you look fine dear." Me? Weeeell, being the thick-headed, blunt person that I am would (as kindly and politely as possible) tell you the truth. I know... dangerous, VERY dangerous. If I'm lucky, she'll look great; if I'm unlucky, well, it would probably go something like this "That's not my favorite dress in the world, your hair looks good, but that dress and those shoes are not very flattering." followed by a confident--but still awkward-- "no offense."
There you have it, I'm as dumb as I look. So don't ask me questions unless you want some honesty. I'm not cruel, pessimistic, or mean, but I will be completely honest and blunt.
Now, let's discuss some pros and cons
Pros:
1.) I won't lie to you (best policy and all that)
2.) In relationships, there is good communication and no decite (girls usually know exactly what is going on.
3.) It definately makes for some interesting conversations.
Cons:
1.) Foot-in-mouth disease (it's embarrassing for me sometimes)
2.) Occassionally people get the wrong idea or get offended (I'm sorry, I really am, none was implied)
3.) I don't get the luxury of being friends with everyone (some people just don't like it).
All in all, I still think the pros outweigh the cons, but it's still up for debate.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!
P.S. I just saw "Sabrina" (the newer one) again. She is extremely blunt and I think it makes her even classier and more attractive :)
