Can LMAO be taken as sarcastic
I cant imagine why it would
thanks
No, it can never be taken as sarcastic.
LMAO!
Ludovic is being absolutely serious.
Anything can be sarcastic.
If the thing that they are laughing their ass off about, isn’t even remotely funny, then it is likely sarcastic.
Oh, “anything?” Really?!?!?!
When someone adds a bunch of letters between the M and the A, then I assume they don’t really mean it.
It still looks like a french cat. Le Meow
Sometimes you’re laughing with 'em. Sometimes you’re laughing at 'em.
Regardless, now you’re gonna have to pick your ass up off the floor. Very inconvenient.
ok here is the situation
My cousin and I are within three months age of each other. We talk on the phone every day. She doesnt have the internet but she steals a wifi (for her phone) from who knows where, so she can get on but I do the dirty work for her
She is single now, divorced from a long term marriage and out of a long term relationship a few years back. We’ve (me mostly) gotten on Match.com signed up for 6 months. Waste of time and money. Bunch of idiot “men” on there. Looking only for sex I guess. (And my cousin looks great, slim and blonde) We’ve been off of there for a year or so
I’ve seen commercials about farmersonly.com seemed a nice place, so we signed up for a month. A few nicer looking guys there and some idiots from Match. Ya’d think they would find someone by now or why are they still on there?? The guys are not bad looking either.
Other back ground stuff. I get on the internet with my computer. My cousin looks at the pictures before I email any of them. I read the profiles and I write what she wants me to write.
Well the reason for the question is
She emailed with a guy at the end of last week and they ended up texting and talking on the phone for a few days. He wanted to see what she looked like so she texted a selfy over to him.
He said she was pretty. He texted a few more (nice) comments and that was Sunday night. Nothing from him for two days!!
Yesterday I went on Match and found the guy there and sent a flirt without my cousin knowing. Well that brought the guy out of the woodwork and (texted) wanted to know why she was on Match when she said she would not go back on it. I didnt tell her I was the one that sent the flirt. One of the last thing the guy told her was that he has given up on dating sites. Um, what?
So anyway, she and I talked abut it and she knows I didnt do anything (but I did-it got him texting!) My cousin told him it was me messing around on the sites. Called me her crazy cousin
Thus, he replied LMAO.
Cousin thinks he was being sarcastic and that was the last of him, so far. She is always negative about things. (drives me nuts!) :smack::smack:
The guy is not buying that there are two of you. He thinks he has stumbled upon some crazy chick from a dating site…hence why he is giving up on dating sites.
He hasnt given up though
They talked for a long time before she told him about me. I still am not taking as sarcastic
You guys are too funny! :D:D
I’m not entirely sure what the question is here, but there are two things I noticed and wanted to comment on. First, people are always saying they’re leaving the site. Sometimes they put it in their profile (or in messages) in an attempt to get others to message them or ask them out, sometimes they’re serious, but for a number of reasons change their mind. The second one is that if I was messaging someone and found out that I was talking to more than one person and/or someone else was writing all the messages, especially if they didn’t know about it, I’d probably block the person and move on. You may have the best intentions, but if you’re sending out emails pretending to be her, the people “she’s” talking to aren’t getting to know her, they’re getting to know a combination of you as well as how you think she’d talk to them.
I can’t speak for others, but I’d assume it’s either a fake profile/scam, someone playing games/catfishing or a few other things that would make it not worth my time.
Or…are you guys sharing a profile? I guess I’m confused when you say ‘we signed up’, but also talk about her emailing guys, you emailing guys for her, she had to send a selfie to someone so they’d know what she looks like?
Like I said, as soon as I realized there’s more than one person, I’d walk. Plenty of guys won’t, but I would.
another crazy chick.
As far as the LMAO thing, I’d assuming he was just “LHAO” about the “my crazy cousin” comment.
My WAG about the LMAO from the DODDS* is that instead of your “cover being blown”, he just thinks you’re a confusing liar who’s not worth his time.

Sarcasm isn’t quite the right word. The phrase is usually derisive now. Sarcastic implies they’re mocking how unfunny something is. But derisive covers the idea of mocking you for saying something stupid.
In my experience, the unironic use has now shifted to emoji. Though, of course, choose are starting to pick up ironic uses as well. Still, the broader selection seems to have stemmed the tide somewhat.
And of course, not long after I say that, I get a reply from someone who uses LOL (the lesser cousin of LMAO) legitimately. It took me a second to realize it wasn’t the derisive laughter I’m so used to. They genuinely thought the silly joke I made was funny.
Back in the “old days” LOL was never sarcastic and something you only wrote. (If you weren’t writing, you actually laughed. I know, it was a crazy time.) Now the kids say it out loud and it’s almost always sarcastic, even in writing.
And in this case, who knows. Just move on. If your cousin or this guy want to communicate, they can text each other. You’ve interfered too much already.
eh?
The only thing I did was sending the smilie thing, she instructed me on the rest of the info…
thanks for all the replies 
The only thing you did?
Although maybe I shouldn’t have called it interfering. The point is: You are overly involved in and invested in something that is ultimately none of your business.
You even posted on an internet message board because you disagree with the interpretations and choices your cousin is making. That’s not “only sending the smilie thing”.
