^ ya know, I find when listening to his hard to hear lyrics that the power of suggestion can be very strong, but I do think I can hear that now.
Well, gee, this then would go over just fine with his LITD girl, huh?... that he is the type who would talk like this with her? Very disrespectful. If a guy said that to me, I'd be gone.
But he seems to have relationships with girls who swear, so maybe it's his "type," and therefore she (LITD girl, if she exists) would be cool with it. I don't think LMP would bat an eye if he said that word around her. Many females wouldn't. I'd have a problem with it.
~ How do the rest of you women who read this thread feel about this? Would you be comfortable in a relationship with a man who swears and uses the f-word around you? Would you feel he still was being respectful to you? What if you observed that he didn't talk that way in front of his mom (can any of you, for example, picture MJ talking like that in front of Katherine?) but he does around you. How would that make you feel? Respected?
Now I know there are guys who swear all the time and are in circles where that is just how they talk, and if I was in the company of that sort of male, then I would understand that it might be too much of a battle to fight to get him to understand it was making me feel disrespected...so I would weigh it, and perhaps let it go. But the man who has given me every indication that he cares about me and wants to be in a relationship with me, yet talks that way with me? No.
Another thing to think about it, if MJ was saying that word because he was upset, frustrated, and angry at the LITD girl for "leaving" or making him feel she didn't want him...whatever, some misunderstanding that had not been talked through yet...well, what would make her think that if she was in a relationship with him and he got angry, hurt, frustrated, he wouldn't lose control and start swearing at her? Couldn't this be a heads up that he might do that? How demeaning to be treated like that by a man you care about. Wouldn't you expect him, if he loves you and cares, to remain respectful even if he is upset, and to communicate what he is feeling to you in rational words in a reasonable way? Wouldnt he want that in return? I would no way if I was angry at someone I valued yell at them or call them names or start cussing just because they upset me (I'm not saying I wouldn't show any signs of being upset...). So, then, I would no way receive or accept that from the man.
Would you girls? Or you guys...would you want your sisters to be talked at like that?
