A Kiss On The Bottom.

You know how when a man sends a text to a woman friend he will put a kiss at the bottom of it to show how much he cares? At least I think that's why men do it. That's why I do it. I think that's why I do it. I haven't really thought about it too much before. Maybe I'm just a patronising old git?

Well maybe it is about time there was a way to do the same for male friends.You know, in a friendly caring way.

How about we all have a think about what symbol a man could use at the end of a text message to let another man know he cares?

On second thoughts maybe not. It sounds a bit gay really. Not that there is anything wrong with being gay, he adds hastily.

Hey look, just forget I mentioned it all right. I don't know what's wrong with me today!

Have a lovely weekend you lot. I shall be doing manly things like mending my tractor and shouting swear words at football players. xx

Those kisses are for the ladies only. Not that I have anything against you blokes!

  1. Don't put a picture of a 'handshake'. You could get into real trouble!

  2. Gosh John, I thought the whole advantage of being male --gay or straight-- is we don't have to worry about that sort of thing. Just sign our names under the text. It's affable and full of meaning, like a check.

  3. No suggestions, John, since being a woman I never thought about what. Man should include.

  4. My youngest son and his family have a sign of endearment that might work. It involves a gesture using just one expressive finger. On second thought, some people might be put off by it. Forget I said anything. By the way check your email.

  5. Maybe you can find a suitable icon to place on the bottom for a man. I have also sent you an email. Maybe we have all been 'stung' I deleted it and have blocked the sender, so you may have to comment on my blog if it came from you. Sue

  8. Focus on your words with meaning, not a symbol. Then you won't have to worry about any of this. Cute post.

  9. What's wrong with a manly hug [O] only for our closest but not that close friends. Otherwise a kiss is fine! Break down the stereotypes! xx [obviously this was for the ladies out there who might be reading my comment, even though I'm very fond of you, John...in a blokey way] Don't want anyone to get the wrong idea especially Lea who's sitting right beside me.

  10. Maybe you could do $Dollar Signs$ or any other symbol for money for the men. Most men appreciate money.
