Why isn’t it just common practice to just use “they” instead the entirely cumbersome “he/her”?
Like it’s just so much easier to type out and say, and it’s just better to use regardless.
The fun part is that you’ll have people complaining about it either way!
Yea, but the people who complain about “they” are assholes so we can safely ignore them.
I am offended by your use of ‘people’, that excludes folk and kin!
Rawr!
You were not appreciated in your time.
Not only is it more readable and aesthetically-pleasing, singular “they” is more inclusive of people outside the gender binary!
Love how the top comment doesn’t even answer the question. But TIL, I guess. If I had known this option existed, I probably would have used it. I’m going to play the “not a native english speaker”-card on this one.
Because “they” refers to multiple people?
Singular “they” actually predates singular “you”.
It doesn’t though. They has been used for singular without knowing the gender for a long time.
Like at least since English has been a language.
My friend forgot their umbrella at the office.
They nervously answered the phone.
They’re a lazy motherfucker.
I gave my friend a hug and wished them a speedy recovery.
Any of those sound unusual, or like they’re referring to more than one person?
I was taught this very aggressively in school, but it turns out that it’s just not true and there’s a long history of singular they.
None!
There should be no guilty pleasures in music. Especially dating. It’s much more attractive to have a wide range of tastes and be comfortable with what you like.
yea exactly. I don’t feel guilty for the music I like
Doesn’t exist. I tell them what I like. If they can’t handle the truth then it wouldn’t work anyway.
I also don’t have guilty pleasures. I enjoy things.
Darude Sandstorm.
Not even joking
Banger.
You can always use the recorder cover to see if they make a comment about liking the real version.
So I put my hands up. They’re playin’ my song, the butterflies fly away. I’m noddin’ my head like, yeah. Movin’ my hips like, yeah. I got my hands up, they’re playin’ my song. They know I’m gonna be okay. Yeah, it’s a party in the U.S.A. Yeah, it’s a party in the U.S.A.
I don’t know what I was expecting, but that was so much more.
Nickelback.
If I have to hate a reasonably decent pop rock band to earn points I shouldn’t even be on the date.
I don’t have a baseline when it comes to pop songs. Also, I have never been on a date anyways. So, it’s all good.
Mindless Self Indulgence
I kinda forgot about them, but same. “Frakenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy” got a lot of plays from me when I was in highschool
Understandable lmao.
“So you like this song called 5 what now? And what did he just call Jimmy Paige?!”
song called 5 what now?
Wait, which song are you referring to? For the life of me, I can’t remember
Lmao I don’t even want to say the full name here, but “panty” oughta be the final clue you need on that one lol.
Ahh, completely forgot about that one
I will gladly tell them how much I like Weird Al.
That’s not really the question, though
It’s in the spirit of the question, with ‘Nobody’ being the implied direct answer. Just saying my pleasure (musically) is not guilty or secret.
Yeah and I definitely agree, your taste is without reprieve.
It’s just that it’s the opposite of what the questionneer wanted to know
It’s your first date and she/he asks what type of music you like. What’s the guilty pleasure you won’t tell her/him about?
I love music and hate but being myself (AuADHD weeeee) so, they’re going to hear an honest answer. If they’re not down with my love of folk punk and what I classify as “shitty punk rock” (you just the kind - overly-compressed, terribly mixed, played by people who barely know how to tune a guitar), well, that’s fair enough. Same as if they aren’t up for my, AuADHD - neurodivergence can be a bit to handle.
I see a potential fellow days n daze enjoyer…?
Nothing “potential” about it. :)
A cultured individual indeed, they’re my favourite band
I have some Brittany Spears and Backstreet Boys on my gym mix.
Steely Dan. The worst part would be I won’t stop talking about the drum solo in Aja.

Was it Queen of the Clouds? I like Lady Wood and Blue Lips too, but QOTC is just such a “leave it on, no need to skip any tracks” album for me. Such a vibe.

Ty from a new fan
Hyperpop. I’m a Christian and only date other Christians and many of those songs have pretty lewd lyrics.
That sucks that you can’t just be yourself
Yeah, there’s a part of me that wants to stop caring and just show some of that music to whoever I’m on a date with.
ive seen barry manilow in concert 4 times
That’s pretty fucking awesome.
hes just one of those guys that gives a solid live performance. he sounds exactly like the albums, not a lot of extra bullshit… mostly him and the piano.
similar with weird al… my hands down favorite live artist.
Taylor swift :p
