I hate it so much because they share and then expect me to react with approval or to share “my achievements”. And I’m not a f…..g boy anymore, so I can't even play up to this childish pissing match. In result the whole thing makes me so uncomfortable...  |
I can’t imagine what they want you to say or think in response to their info. If you act with approval, it would sound something like ‘good for you!’. If you shared your achievements, it would sound something like ‘yeah, I used to F her too!’
They might think of it as a way of bonding with you. My closest gf’s and I used to share info like that. We WERE teenagers, so we were immature and learning. We were seeking support from each other. We were not as crass as to say ‘F’, but said ‘dated’, but I think it was along the same idea and I assume men may use ‘F’ because that is more the way men relate to one another (yes, a macho thing).
I’m sorry it irritates you. How might you use it against them?
