Is it abnormal that I find people who speak slang unattractive?

[Androm]

They sound disgusting, I'm sick to my stomach

[jshm2]

Yes as those are two unrelated ideals. How a person speaks, has nothing to do with their looks.

Top actors can speak in slang, I know a couple of billionaire CEO's who speak in slang from time to time. A lot of my professional friends will speak in slang from time to time.

You're just creating a mental block for yourself based on nothing but your own ignorance or silliness.

You look like a pale dead body, at times, in your "how do I look" pics. It makes no difference to me that you speak "formal" pidgin English.

By "unattractive" it's clear she meant unappealing, that she doesn't want to get to know them. It wasn't a comment about their physical appearance.

[ManOnFire]

Are you sure you mean slang? Or do you mean they talk - as we call it - 'ghetto'? Because everyone uses slang but not everyone talks ghetto. So it sounds like you're talking about ghetto speak, streetsy language, etc.

It’s normal to find slang disgusting when you are raised with higher standards.


Slang makes people sound like they were raised by inmates and never passed third grade.

[Cassie88]

God no, I hate slang as well. Half the time I don't even understand what it is they're trying to say!

[tfan1]

I hate slang with a passion. Seriously like in sex why do people say dick and cock? Dick is short for Richard. And cock is a rooster. A Penis is a Penis. Love it when a girl says Penis. Such a turn on 👍🙂

Perhaps you see their use of slang as evidence they maybe of lower standing?

[Androm]

yeah i think my brain matches them with that thought

[Anonymous]

Personally I think ebonics was cooler back in the 90's.

These days with the entire world connected by the internet it seems outdated to talk that way.

[Alchemizt]

Fair. It can be okay as long as people don't overly use slang. I get frustrated when some wanna be gangsta type guys talk.

[Berethor]

Are you academic? why you hate slang so much, what people who talk slang done to you?

[BJP21]

Depends who they are. If sound like an uneducated dumbass, YES 100%

[KostasKouvalis]

Not really. I kinda don't like it either. It makes them sound like a, I don't know the word in English. It makes them sound like a "PROSTAK".

[TallAnon]

Generally it's a sign of poverty, so no, that's quite common.

[Andres77]

You like what you like. No apologies necessary.

[Soulfist]

It's okay. You have people who love you, and that's all that matters. 😊

[KomradeBrix]

Kind of lol. How does one sound disgusting? What is considered formal and slang, would prolly be meaningless at the end of the day.

I do wonder why you feel like this?

[Sparkie460]

Everyone has their own opinion on what type of person is attractive.

[AmeerX]

I don't like slangs and slurs but you have to live with it.

[Iron_Man]

Many women don’t like that

[Whatthefluff]

No it’s understandable

[misogynistic_pig]

Yes, I don't like the American dialect.

[Guardian45]

No. I agree.

[SmokinAces2000]

Ok….
