normiss 800 #27 December 13, 2007 word not used in your personal vocabulary? I call co-workers co-workers or associates. A woman in my life is my girlfriend or friend if we're not "that" friendly yet, possibly that "W" word I hear some people use...but I'm not so sure I'd even use that word.

headoverheels 333 #29 December 13, 2007 Well, I used to refer to my business partner as "my partner." Now, I refer to him as "my business partner." Just to be clear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eeneR 3 #33 December 13, 2007 Actually the question was posed because i was curious if guys ever call there girlfriend just there partner. I rarely ever see this used as a term that way, but more so either co-worker or gay partner. Yes I know he doesn't want to go out with me I get it...I was just someone to use as a ego stroking post. I get that, this was more of a question of used phrase.She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pop 0 #34 December 13, 2007 QuoteGuys So if in a conversation at work with some one you make comment to "My Partner" what do you mean? In a work context which this is from I take that as to mean his coworker he is paired up with. However outside of work I have seen this more used for homosexual partners more so then heterosexual partners though it can be used both ways. Most straight guys I know would just say "girlfriend" or "lady friend" So what do you take it as? When refering to my band member (musical group), I always refer to him as my partner.7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #36 December 13, 2007 I'm just teasin' ya, didn't want to have to refer you to "He's Just Not That Into You" or tell you to go knock him upside the head again because he's not smart enough to be That Into You.

waltappel 1 #37 December 13, 2007 Here's how it works. * Being a guy, if I minimize the person I am having a relationship with by using the term partner, there is either something I don't want to discuss or I want to fuck you but not give up my relationship. * If I say, "I'd love to fuck you really hard but I'm sooooooooooooooo in love with my [wife, SO, GF, or whatever]", then I'm not really into you but I want to leave open the possibility. * If I say, "I love you", after I've been drinking it means, "I want to fuck you", unless you are a guy then it means I've had waaaaaaaaaaaay too much to drink. * If I say, "I want to fuck you", that means that yes, I do indeed want to fuck you but realize that no way in hell will you say yes unless you are really drunk, horny, and desperate or will lower yourself to nearly any level to piss off your soon-to-be ex-BF. That being said, ladies of dz.com, I want to fuck you!Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honey, between this and your 'pole', Freudian slip for 'poll' as normiss attempted to point out, methinks someone has sex on the brain. An ego stroking post is a girl a guy flirts with and does it for nothing more then to get attention to stroke his own ego. Girls in fact do this to. It is quite hurtful to the other party if they do not realize that this person really does not like them. It is a lack of sex on the brain....She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
