Fantastic dicks!

Lately I've noticed many journals by heterosexual women where they are referring to their significant others as "the most fabulous/wonderful/etc. boyfriend ever." Am I the only guy who wishes not to be referred to in this way? It's way too much pressure, for one thing...

Of course, I don't believe that anyone is particularly fabulous/wonderful/etc.

I agree totally. One of the main reasons I gave up on my ex-boyfriend was the continual goddess worship. I would say something negative but honest about myself, and he'd be like, "Nooooo! You're amazing, you're special, you're you, my love, my queen, my heart..." Not only was it too much pressure, it even triggered a gag reflex.

But he didn't understand that "please don't compliment me so much" means "please don't compliment me so much," not "oh, I'm being modest now." He told me the way to react to his compliments was "just accept them," but doing that made me feel as if I were the one being arrogant.

Relationships should be among equals.

I don't refer to my boyfriend as the most wonderful boyfriend in the world to make certain he has some sort of standard to live up to. I refer to him as such because he is just naturally so -- because he is mine. He is still the most wonderful boyfriend in the world when he is grumpy or tired or generally unpleasant.

I'm also referring to the tiny little world of my perception, which of course, revolves around me. Most of my sweeping generalizations, hyperboles, or other dramatic statements are made from this tiny world.

I can't see myself wanting to be with anyone who I thought of as less than fabulous/wonderful/etc.

Heeee, I try not to talk about Dave like that all the time because it's way too twee.

Some day I'll tell you a bit about some of my exes....

Maybe there is an underlying reason for posting that adjective in their journal. I, too, cannot stomach all that mushy crap.

You know that I don't get overly mushy with you, unless you *really* deserve it. I don't go skipping up to random strangers and telling them how wonderful you are or anything. :D

But reading overly mushy crap? Yeah- *yarf*

My 2.5¢

I'm going to blame it all on the trick our minds play on us when we 'fall in love.' I guess some people are more suseptable.
