By whom?

if this means more guys for me then i'm fine with this ;V

no emoticons: apathetic, too ruff 'n tuff for emotions, dead inside
emoticons: ulterior motives, probably a wuss, prideless and desperate for emotional connection

I've heard people say stuff like this before, but really - this is loaded as hell, you gotta have context. Emoticons are just one emerging piece of the puzzle that is human conversation.

:D :D :D

;)



EDIT: The ones I see used badly most often are kaomoji - you'll see some really aggressive or insulting post somewhere and the whole thing is surrounded by

but maybe that's just me

Does using a sometimes-appropriate face-set count for this?

I've heard it said that androids who don't use all caps and end sentences with "beep boop" in their texts and IMs are far less likely to be looked upon by the robot ladies as potential dates.

Oh, GODDAMNIT! D:

That's it. Now I'm definetly going to be Forever Alone... ;_;

DDDDDDDDDDDX

Realtalk tho the OP statement commits the basic error of assuming that ladytypes are a hivemind with little variation in tastes and opinions.

Tho I will admit that past a certain threshold I start feeling kind of leery of emoticon use, just because it gets into "possibly unhinged" territory. Though that's usually the kind of person who posts a jillion emotes after like every sentence. And uses a lot of exclamation points.

Or the people who use passive-aggressive smileys. Those people go straight to the "never voluntarily talk to" rubbish bin.

I would date this emoticon. It looks cute. :3

I'm going to break from character to admit that I, too, would date Small Spooky Slime

Pfft, if I had to guess, I'd say there's way more to it than that. :P
