Never knew I was beautiful...until I moved to L.A.

OP are you fat?

You are implying that Monsieur Fille is a connoisseur of le Royal Cheese?*

  • or Quart de Livre avec Fromage, should our OP happen to be fau[x|sse] canadien[ne].

Several things:

[ol]
[li]Even racists can admit that they find people of other races to be attractive. - Racists in the South look at White women AND Black.[/li][li]Lisa Lampanelli made an entire career about joking about how Black men like overweight White women - However, she then maried a White man and essentially gutted her comedy routine[/li][/ol]

For the record, as a Black man, the last thing that I think about when I see a good looking woman is her skin color. Or in the case of a White woman, her weight (I’m not particular, as skinny ones will do just fine…LOL)

I guess I don’t understand the reason behind the post. Is she looking for more validation that’s she’s good looking? Or wondering why she wasn’t complimented in her home town? Or upset it was mostly black men that found her attractive? Or the idea that men in LA are more vocal or friendly?

Goodness,someone makes a tiny error in grammer & its like Pompeii ll.
:cool:

YES,at least there is one person on this forum that understands,either way,its a FEMININE name.

:smiley:

Um, no. It’s, at best, a gender-confused name. We just legalized gay marriage over here in France, I’m not sure we’re ready for transgender grammar yet. Baby steps.

Where’s the love…I haven’t typed anything on a public forum in yrs!Normally I type in paragragh form but who cares,its a FORUM people.

STMB:People up at midnight with nothing to do but correct my small grammatical errors.
:cool:

You could try reddit if SDMB isn’t your style. Just be prepared to deliver the goods in re. your OP.

Are you going to actually answer these questions or just snark about SDMB pedantry? Here’s a hint: stop attention whoring and actually contribute something.

One can’t always trust intuition when it comes to the French language. “Vagina” in French is “le vagin”.:confused:

I wasn’t sure if it was an error or not; that is why I asked. You could be trans and this is your way of stating it. That is all.

Little known *fact: That was going to be the tagline originally but it was decided at the last minute to go with “Fighting Ignorance Since 1973.”

*by “fact” I mean. I just made it up.

I’m imagining you as mind-bogglingly mediocre with huge galactic cosmic universe-sized self esteem issues begging for affirmation like a black hole begs for more matter and light.

Well obviously. It’s phallus-shaped.

Yeah, I don’t know either. As always, my go-to explanation is : “we did that to confuse foreigners.”

:smack::smiley: laughing so hard I’m coughing. That’s about the shape of it!

Actually, although this is an online forum, we do value proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation here (allowing for the occasional typo). And insistence on not using them is not a point in your favor.

Oh yeah? Explain “das Mädchen” (the girl) in German! The word’s neuter!

I’d neut 'er.

This is my extrapolation from something I learned at the feet of a favorite English professor. I do not have a cite to back it up.

In old English, the word “girl” merely translates as child. Boys were also called “girls” until they became “knave-girls” “knaves” and eventually “boys”. The word “girl” changed meaning to refer to female children only. Since English and German share the same roots, is it possible that German evolution to “Mädchen” held on to the neuter meaning that the English discarded?

(I do realize that I am not using the correct old spelling of girl, but there are actually several spellings.)
