What would be your opinion of a person who never curses?

[Flower7]

[aWes0MeNeSs]

I don't really think much about it, but it's much preferable over someone who really overdoes it and feels the need to throw in a swear word (usually the F bomb) around every other word.

[Flower7]

I don't really get the point of cursing a whole lot while talking.

[aWes0MeNeSs]

Me neither. I think some people are still in the immature stage of thinking it looks "cool" or "edgy". I mean, I will swear sometimes, too, but 75% of my dialogue isn't swearing, lol.

[Flower7]

I agree, I'm pretty sure most people do that because they think it sound cool and that it will help them fit in better.

[aWes0MeNeSs]

Yes, and it ends up just making them look really insecure and I think annoys most people.

[beebella]

They're a breath of fresh air.

[Flower7]

That's a good way to look at it. I'm glad you see it as a positive thing.

[Apple1996]

there's definitely something strange about people that dont cuss. In my opinion those are the ones that are acutally crazy 😂

[BlueScorpio]

Shrug, they just don't cure which is fine. Maybe they weren't around people who did it, maybe they are trying to stop from doing, maybe they have a beliefs that says to refrain from it (God actually doesn't want us to curse anyway). Truth be told, there's really no need for any of us to curse but we still do it cause people and society have normalized, it's kinda like a monkey see/do thing with everything on earth.. Yes, there just words but there are other ways to express yourself than just cussing. And yes I've done it, can't say that I haven't done it cause everyone's done it.

[el_Te_de_la_Rosa]

That's a good thing. I rarely swear (but use dark humor/memes/cartoon instead). People who have the habit of expressing curses feel uncomfortable around me. They don't use it with me, but when they turn to other freinds, they do. Maybe we are not that close. Well, my close friends don't swear, and I love that. It depends.

[Flower7]

Does it bother you when people feel uncomfortable around you?

[el_Te_de_la_Rosa]

They would leave me alone in the end. Most of them have different lifestyles and values from me. It doesn't bother me that much. I prefer people who have manners and self-control.

[Flower7]

That's actually a pretty good filter, to get rid of people who don't match with your lifestyle.

[el_Te_de_la_Rosa]

Yes. That's true. When I was young, I thought people with a loud mouth are more sincere. I was right, they are. Plus, how they speak and act says a lot about their thoughts and personalities. Because if those negative words are not on their mind, they wouldn't say any. That's why we should be aware of how we talk and witty when something irritates us.

In a book "Dangerous Instincts", the author Ph. D. Mary Ellen O'Toole mentioned cases of people who constantly gave signals before they committed suicide, and how a careless lie of a bomb at airport is very serious. Police would think the person who says that actually a criminal.

[Flower7]

Yes, words do mean a lot!

[el_Te_de_la_Rosa]

It's power of choosing how to respond. 💪👍💕

[Kaneki05]

I would find them weird for not wanting to use words. I wouldn't really care they don't swear. But it's just kinda like eh why not? what if someone just said hell is a swear you just not gonna say it no more? Just brings up a lot of questions. or if someone say's idiot is a swear you just not gonna say it no more? What makes it swear why don't you just say words? Because that's all they are. And just more and more questions go down a rabbit hole to stuff they won't be able to answer. Other than saying i don't like to use them.
But there is no logic there so kinda perplexes me.

[Flower7]

Some people just never got in the habit of doing it, such as if they never heard any cursing when they were growing up. So it wouldn't be a conscious decision not to curse. It just doesn't come naturally to them.

[Kaneki05]

Pretty sure everyone hears swears as they grow up or did they go to catholic school? But even there other kids swear behind the teachers backs so unless if they been locked in basement that don't really make sense and kids love to learn new words due to there own curiosity. And all words in own language kinda become habit to us that's how we learn languages. And even if people don't swear often they will unless if there activity trying not to. But then that's what perplexes me it makes 0 sense to actively not use words.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

That person who never curses could be a person trying to live for God, as a Matter of fact, I don't try to swear cause I try my best to live for God but I am a backslider and I don't hide a fact that I am far from being a Saint but I do my darnest to live the life he wants me to

[Flower7]

Trying is sometimes the best thing you can do!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@Flower7 Yes so true Flower

[gagmewithapitchfork]

Smart. When we're in arguments, people who swear show less knowledge (to me) because they just want to add words and make other people feel like crap. I mean you can be super smart and swear but I just get that pure, smart vibe. The smartest people at my school never swear that I know of.

[ChiTown33]

While it's unusual. I mean to avoid such words when angry where you're venting shows an unusually high level of control, it also shows strength of character.
My brother in law is this way. He was raised in a strict Christian household. But if you got to know him he's hilarious.

[OnlyMyOpinion]

Need more information. But if shy or agreeable, that's a lot of fun. It's like taking someone out of their comfort zone... bird out of the nest sort of thing.

[Flower7]

Someone who just never picked up the habit. I didn't hear much cursing when I was growing up, so it never came naturally for me to do it when I became an adult either.

[OnlyMyOpinion]

Then not so fun in this way. Probably fun another way like a deep talking candidate.

[DizzyDesii]

Almost ideal. I hope they still use substitute words though because i find that adorably funny.

[Flower7]

Yeah, that can be cute lol.

[KeziL]

Good, I mean if they actively avoid cuss words and say things like “diddly darn” I’ll probably have a little chuckle to myself, but I prefer when people don’t swear all the time. I mostly don’t swear at all myself, just don’t like that to be my default, so it would be refreshing.

[Flower7]

Some people just never got into the habit of doing it, so it doesn't come naturally to them. Instead of actively avoiding the words, cursing just doesn't feel normal and the words aren't a part of their vocabulary.

[KeziL]

Right, when not swearing is their default it fine. It is a little annoying however when they swear like a sailor BUT only use their cutesy little replacement words.

[_SOARER]

A very decent well mannered person
I wish I didn't curse so much
But I work with a bunch of ex-convicts 😂
Gotta be rude and loud with those kind of people

[Flower7]

Lol, I guess it's hard not to pick it up when you're around them so much.

[_SOARER]

Even when I was attending university everyone cursed
Our culture has done away with manners.
It's sad. I think highly of people who speak decently at all times

[Espresso-Grande]

Nothing.

I'm more likely to think something if someone cusses all the time rather than not at all.

[Flower7]

I agree, cursing too much gives off a much worse impression than not cursing enough.

[nodnol32]

I would be under the impression that they have faced harsh consequences foe swearing too much in the past and made an effort to eradicate it from their vocabulary.

[Flower7]

Some people just never got into the habit of it.

[nodnol32]

Valid point. Its rare for most of the people around me to not swear though.

[Flower7]

Well, when I was growing up, I very rarely heard curse words. So as an adult, it never became a part of my vocabulary and never came naturally to me.

[nodnol32]

Lucky you. In Britain i guess it becomes a part of you and plus the swearing you hear at football matches (despite lots of people attending the games with children) it just naturally enters the brain.

[Flower7]

I actually wish I did curse more. I would fit in better that way. But saying those words just doesn't feel normal to me.

[Regmorus]

Indicator of a bit more healthy and less loose lifestyle than by the rest I guess.

[Flower7]

Would it make you uncomfortable to be around the person? And would you feel like you had to stop cursing when you're around them?

[Regmorus]

No, it wouldn't, prob if something then on the contrary. Almost all people from my social circle do not curse or at least not around me. But I think the most do not generally. Well, about latter I don't know. I curse very rarely and it's level of damn and dammit or milder. Hence I probably wouldn't feel special need to withhold it just because they don't say that - could be that I wouldn't do it around them just naturally as well. Too hypothetical kinda.

[Flower7]

That makes sense. Changing your speech wouldn't really apply to you since you barely ever curse anyway.

[Justacatlady]

Good for them. It doesn’t bother me. As long as they don’t care that I swear

[Flower7]

I don't curse and don't mind if other people do. But when they realize that I haven't been cursing, they start trying to change their language. I don't like that because I'd rather they just speak naturally instead of trying to edit their speech every time I'm around.

[888theGreat]

You never have? Never ever? You drop a bowling ball on your toe, what do you say? "Oh my that hurt"?

[Jamie05rhs]

@Flower7 But they're probably just doing that out of respect for you. They look up to you, and they want to be more like you because they see you as more mature. You inspire them to be better.

[abbecker]

As a Christian I make sure to remove profanity from my vocabulary, and I really appreciate meeting similar people.

[Steve37]

My mom always told me that profanity is a sign of a weak vocabulary. If you need to curse it's because you don't know the correct word to use to convey your message. I think she was correct.

[Flower7]

So do you curse?

[Steve37]

Rarely, but occasionally one will slip out.

[daren0326]

Very respectable. It might make me not curse around them even though I curse a LOT.

Seriously if I had a swear jar for every curse I said, I'd be fucking poor- Oh shit- 🤦‍♂️ oh fuck- 😣 goddamnit! 😫

[Flower7]

Would it make you uncomfortable to be around that person if you felt like you had to change your entire speech pattern every time you talked to them?

[nandinikhaneja]

I think that person is a saint or maybe he is a monk. I mean, sometimes when I get frustated, angry or irritated in life, I curse a lot which really helps.. I shout and come in an empty room and curse so loudly! It makes me light

[Jjpayne]

I'd call them a smart and patient person. To never curse means you need other ways to let off steam and you have self control

[bwjay12]

As being someone who doesn't curse, I have caught myself sometimes when i get upset that i am very close to cursing. But like its like a game or a challenge for me not to curse because I've grown up not cursing so i don't wanna break my streak 😂

[Flower7]

That sounds fun, to make a game out of it.

[berserk945]

I do my best to not curse, its slips out from time to time because i actually think the words.

Over the past year i have been using them in text more, but not all the time, i use them appropriately and not excessively.

I had on friend i use to talk to all the time but we hadn't for half a year and i accidentally cursed in a text and he questioned whobi was!😂

[Koalamate]

Disciplined af I curse a lot and grew up around it so hard to quit it.

[Flower7]

Yes, it's the exact opposite when someone DIDN'T grow up around it. That makes it hard to start cursing later in life.

[SunnyCaliGirl]

They would be a person who knows how to speak properly

[Flower7]

Yes, that's true!

[mrkdvsn]

A very high opinion. My dad made it a point to never curse when me and my sisters were still living at home

[Flower7]

So since your dad didn't curse when you were growing up, did that make it feel more unnatural for you to curse when you became an adult?

[mrkdvsn]

Yeah, you could say that. But as a young adult, if I spent time with people who cursed a lot, then I was more apt to curse myself, due to their influence over me.

[pizzalovershouse]

They mite be a bit more calm or pissed inside then you know

[Flower7]

True, since they don't always show everything on the outside.

[pizzalovershouse]

Yep 👍

[jkm1864]

I went through that phase at one point in My life and it was pretty interesting to watch a person whom doesn't curse stub their toe on something because their face would turn red and You knew they wanted to curse but they held it in.

[Lliam]

I think people who never curse are generally pretty boring. They're either up tight, inhibited, or too virtuous for my taste. They lack passion and humor.
And a person who never uses curse words or slang terms during sex would be terrible in bed.

[zoeadams3]

1. Really good self control. I have a friend like that, and if he has to vent, he goes off in Yiddish. And he’s not Jewish.
2. Someone who is extremely religious. As in a fundie.

[Flower7]

Some people just never got in the habit of doing it, like if no one ever cursed around them while they were growing up.

[StephenCF]

That’s a tough one. I can admire someone for having a sophisticated way of speaking, but I lose respect for those who are sensitive enough to confess they don’t swear because they’re offended by profanity 🤔

[Flower7]

Some people just never got in the habit of doing it, like if no one ever cursed around them while they were growing up.

[StephenCF]

@Flower7 I still remember one of the first times I swore at my mother when I was about 4, and of course this was just after my biological dad babysat me, who was in hindsight a real lowlife, so no doubt where I learned such words from 😅

[Flower7]

It's a lot harder if a person never learned the words to begin with. In that case, it feels unnatural to try to pick up the habit as an adult.

[Spiffy_and_Tails]

It's what I'm used to, so I probably wouldn't even notice it.

[Dchrls78104]

Such a person has my respect. I also never use profanity (and in fact cursing would be a deal-breaker for me in dating or a relationship), so such an individual would be a kindred spirit of mine.

[amyba]

I try not too swear because I like being a lady but if I am next to a person who swears they start getting in my head lol

[AmeerX]

I don't do it much unless I have been completely raged. I would punch first then come back with something else

[ItsTheNephilim]

Would think that they have some next level self control. But I'll still be very skeptical of them lol.

[OpenWine]

depends on what you call a curse. for me if someone casually says n** for example it's not a curse to me. cursing is when it comes with a taste of hatred/anger

[Flower7]

I mean bad words. Profanity.

[OpenWine]

if you are prude it would only mean that I would have no interest in you. I enjoy chaos in a controlled matter

[Flower7]

Not from prudeness, but just because of never getting in the habit of doing it. If someone didn't hear cursing when growing up, it can be hard for them to suddenly start doing it as an adult.

[OpenWine]

so if you are outgoing and just don't curse I guess you are a normie then kind of. like one of many but what would you do then if you got real mad?

[jasco]

That's fine as long as she/he doesn't tell me not to do so

[Antelope]

I understand the feeling in regards to maybe wanting to enrich your vocabulary, but if it's just because they're too "pure", I see it as kind of ridiculous.

[Flower7]

Some people just never picked up the habit of doing it.

[Regmorus]

It s really funny. When I want even to write something like Bullshit, I don't just do it, because I kinda feels like it doesn't fit who I am to do it. I can do it, but I have this feeling. O_O Though I don't know if it is cursing, but by curse words it's definitely this. I can't imagine me saying "motherfucker" - lol:)

[Antelope]

Oh I totally respect that. The reason I swear I guess is that my language kinda just evolved that way, like swearing is pretty natural and helps move the flow of conversation for some. For others, swearing can decrease the quality of conversation.

[Antelope]

@Regmorus I rarely use words like "cunt" because those kind of bite pretty hard.

[Regmorus]

I feel about English exactly that way too indeed. And by the way about German too. It's very natural to say exactly soomething like damn in some moments - at least in modern language in both languages.

[888theGreat]

My mom never has , but what is cursing to you? I go by the Bible , which is GD, Damn, and hell, oh and by God. F word is slang but not cursing. Shit is equal to Dung in the bible.

[Flower7]

Cursing is saying bad words. Profanity.

[888theGreat]

Like? The words you think are cursing?

[Flower7]

The ones you think are curse words, along with the ones you don't think are curse words. Everything listed above, basically.

[888theGreat]

So what words have I used that is cursing? If I use Initials like BS?

[Flower7]

Initials aren't, but saying the full word is cursing.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

"... ok". I dont. Except for that one time but who cares it's not important

[Dinosaursandanime65]

When I do it always in my head. I actually do it a lot in my head...

[Tstrbrainer]

They are really patient.
They have strong principles

[serious]

What about them? Even I never use vulgar languge.

[Flower7]

There seem to not be very many people who don't curse.

[serious]

@Flower7

Yes, many people do use bad language and vulgar language. True.

[Flower7]

I wish there were more people who didn't. I don't really understand the reason why people curse so much. And most of the time, it's just in the middle of ordinary conversation.

[serious]

@Flower7

Yes I understand and of course there is no logic and rationale behind using vulgar language. People believe that using such words helps them in expressing their anger and frustration in some way but that is just a stupid thinking on their part.

I never use them irrespective of the situation.

[Flower7]

I don't use them either. I tend to get criticized/laughed at because of that though.

[phatdrummer650]

I'd be like... damn I wish I had my $hit together like they do...

[lanadelrey25]

as you say a curse word in the same sentence lmao

[phatdrummer650]

@lanadelrey25 glad someone caught that :)

[emerald_17]

I don't think I could trust them if it never happened. Like at least cuss in accident!

[daren0326]

Why? That's respectable.

[emerald_17]

They say people who cuss are more honest people

[ADFSDF1996]

Admire their discipline.

[COMMODOREII]

Stuck up prude or someone who acts high and mighty. A hypocrite. Why? 😗

[lanadelrey25]

Aww, that's adorable...

[codyccc]

Dangerous close to being religious avoid at all costs

[StephenCF]

@codyccc I’m as atheist as can be, but I avoid swearing in most cases so my elegant mannerisms match my elegant lifestyle

[codyccc]

Obviously you avoid it as the situation requires like all civilized people but on occasion you let it out its scientifically proven that swearing can help you tolerate pain/ reduce stress and was extremely useful to are forefathers as a way of instantly getting the attention of a group to warn them of an attack. Therefore some who never swear is denying themselves something helpful because of a fear and that has is the same logic that leads to horrible consequences

[StephenCF]

@codyccc Swearing will slip out when I’m angry/stressed like you said. But in casual conversation, I rarely see a need to swear like most of my peers do to try and sound like they’re from the ‘hood or something

[venomhbk1313]

I would tell them to live outside the box or suck it up buttercup

[shortster]

This is how I operate; so I would approve.

[Flower7]

Is there a certain reason that you don't curse?

[shortster]

It was against my parents rules when I was growing up; and when I went to college I saw no reason to change.

[Flower7]

That makes sense. It can be a hard habit to break.

[JaneDoe377]

I'd be pretty impressed

[JoseLuisGonalez]

Everybody curses. I would simply persecute them until they do.

[Jac2424]

It makes little difference to me either way.

[SomeGirl88]

That they are probably Ned Flanders in disguise.

[Miristheiss]

That's a good quality to have.

[Liam_Hayden]

That is serious self-control.

[Pete671]

Polite and respectful towards others,,,

[Redstang88]

I don’t trust people that don’t sweat

[Redstang88]

*swear*

[MissDawn7961]

they are lying ! thanks

[daren0326]

Lol, not always.

[ConfusedGuy96]

I would consider them polite
