Why do guys add extra letters?

[Anonymous]

Why do guys add extra letters to words like girls do? Is that flirting? I know girls do it and it's a type of flirt I guess so was wondering if that was the same case for guys. A guy I'm talking to does that on occasion and I wasn't sure.

Don't think its flirting, me and my girl and guy friends always do it, im not sure why just to not sound blunt I guess, like 'okayyy' instead of 'ok', just sounds better in my mind

i just came to say that i dont always add extra letters to flirt. ill do it for emphasis in all kinds of situations.

no, you seemingly just get by on looks alone... haha..

[justbanANNAz]

oh sorry was that meant to be funny? @deenagupro because i didn't laugh.

[DeenaGupro]

no, just fact.

[justbanANNAz]

but is it fact if it's just, as u said "seemingly"? or r u contradicting urself like most weak claims do? @deenagupro
go learn the difference between truth and perception, and take ur stupid ideologies somewhere else.

[DeenaGupro]

no, i know it's fact... duuh.

[justbanANNAz]

You mean like if a guy texts "heeey" or something? I'm not entirely sure, but some people send me texts like that.

Yes exactly. Like sorrrryyy or anything else. It's not all the time it's just some words sometimes

Ok yeah, that is a good question. Maybe they are trying to be cute or something?

[Asker]

I guess it al depends on the person. I know people do it to fort and others do it just because it's the way they talk.

I'll do it if I'm trying to get a point across, but never just when talking

[JayneW]

what do you mean by extra letters?

[Asker]

For instance like heyyy or sorrrryyy

[JayneW]

maybe they do it to try and get some feeling of familiarity, trying to subconsciously connect by talking in the same way? I don't think British guys do it, I will have to pay more attention!!!

[Asker]

It's through texts. Sometimes guys do it, but not all the time

[JayneW]

sorry I am being slow on the uptake tonight!!! I think it is still a familiarity thing - wanting to connect by trying to emulate the way another person is communicating - i think it is way of trying to instil trust - probably more subconscious than anything.

No. It's just how they would say it in real life
