A minger is a more precise term for an ugly girl though I've heard some use it against guys but generally it's directed towards a girl. it's weird how different English is from where you are and here in America. if i ever do get to visit there i'll need a translator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many American shows I like to watch, but I really do hate it when they try to remake British comedies. The most sacrilege was the Shameless remake, there's only one Frank Gallagher. I'm not too keen on The Office in the first place, I watched the American one and thought it was quite amusing The funny thing is, Im so used to watching US shows that I don't notice the accent at all in them, but when an American speaks to me on real life I'm all like ooohhh how weird lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionsOfSpiders Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) @AxlsFavoriteRose Do you mean mince pies? If you're after something funny to watch then you can't really go wrong with the British version of Shameless, series 1-3. The first series has James McAvoy in it. This is Frank Gallaghers xmas speech about old people, it makes me cry laughing. Also, sorry for derailing the thread.

I LOVE talkin' to Americans, its so cool, it's like talking to a character in a film, i go all Sybil Fawlty on em like 'you're from America, aren't youuuu? I know, i know!' Especially people from the South, they sound so cool. Can't stand American TV though, it's awful. Mind you i cant really stand much English TV anymore, most of what i watch is old. American sitcoms though are fuckin' dreadful and I'm a big sitcom kid. Their stand up is amazing though whereas our stand up, with a few notable exceptions, is (or was until recent years) pretty shite. American sitcoms lack depth i find. An American funny guy is like...a cool wisecracking sort of person, like lifes winners and they laugh with em, English funny guys are like...aspirational people, people that haven't quite made it in life and aren't really going to make it, losers almost to a point and we laugh at them most of the time, there's also often something tragic there beneath the surface but at the same time we're kind of fond of them, deeply fond even, sometimes the most odious or perhaps just hopeless of people and the reason is cuz we identify with em on some level, whether we like to admit it or not, we root for them, despite their being twats.

Graeme Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 1 hour ago, Whiskey Rose said: Oh, well ok then. It does make you feel incredibly guilty though, and challenges any notions that you may have of yourself as a decent human being, because from a straightforward moral perspective we're taught not to pre-judge people on anything other than the content of their character (though as a species we fail miserably on that score in many instances). But, in order to enter into a romantic relationship with someone, which will presumably have a strong physical dimension, there really should be some desire to get "up close and personal" with them, that kinda magnetism we all feel... and on this occasion, I didn't experience that at all. Even writing that makes me feel disgusted with myself, because it challenges my lifelong perception of how I should value people. But, logically, not everyone can be attracted to everyone, right? It doesn't mean that there's necessarily anything objectively wrong with someone... A friend pointed out to me, to try and make me feel better, that the vast majority of relationships need to start with physical attraction and then personality comes into the equation; and that, in and of itself, is not shallow. What is shallow is where personality makes no impact on your decision-making whatsoever and you value people purely for how they look, or the amount of money they have, or their circle of friends or whatever... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Graeme, don't worry. Your primary concern may be how she looked but if she was interesting to you, you would still want to go on more dates, I'm sure. Don't feel guilty at all! When I realised I was spending more free time with a guy friend, physically I didn't find him appealing. I remember asking a friend for advice on what to do. But I kept seeing him because he treated me really well and we had a great laugh. Even when I agreed to make things "official" with him, I wasn't too sure about his weight and teenage skin etc. I expected to get bored after a few months and call it off. He's now my husband. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
