Posted: 5/4/2008 5:32:35 PM | I second the commentary of teachpeace - while sarcasm has it's place amongst the various forms of social commentary, it's best left to being a tool of subtle/poignant articulation of disparagement towards politics and not as a fount to engage a potential partner. That said, it might substantiate itself over time given that those who use sarcasm as a tool to find another are given to falling in with like-minded folks & as such are predispositioned to a less-than-happy time together.
But hey, I could be all wrong.
Was that subtle? | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 3:04:44 PM | I'm a sarcastic person. I've always been that way. However, most of the time I use it against situations instead of people.
Although if someone leaves themselves wide open for a quick jab, I'll take it. I absolutely love and appreciate someone who can not only take it as a joke but come back with some wit, as well. Verbal sparring is sexy. Mmm. | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 9:30:31 PM | | I was married to a sarcastic person. He used it to put people down. I left him, his daughter left him. Poor guy, all alone with his sarcasm - no one to use it on but waitresses. I used to feel so sorry for waitresses. | |

a LARGE portion of female profiles I'm viewing. Some even list sarcasm in they're "interests".
Umm... Sarcasm... well, that's just me...
I am sarcastic. I like humor. If you can't handle my sarcasm then don't even try. What I mean by that is, I love to laugh, I can take as good as I get and sometimes... that sarcasm, it is laced with a sense of truth. A defense mechanism per say.
Truth is hard to say upfront, can hurt when you've said it, but sometimes can be taken a little easier when said in a funny kind of way. Mind you, if I am going to say it... and the sarcasm hasn't quite gotten your attention, then I am gonna say it outright, which can be embarrassing for you more than me.
What ultimately we may be saying when we say sarcasm, we want to laugh in life. We all want a partner (in crime) or friends that are fun. How many of your friends do you hang around that are not fun to be with, Hmmmm?
By the way, I saw the Sarcasm note... so I had to reply, cause, well my tag line... it says;
SARCASM RULES!
Be fun, have fun and be yourself... | |

Posted: 7/20/2008 1:56:47 PM | I absolutely agree with you on that one 100%. Sarcasm is used as an over exaggerated feeling toward an object, a place or a thing that makes a person feel. I have a very large amount of sarcasm that I use consistantly even unaware that I am doing it. I don't do it to be bitter or to retaliate. I use sarcasm as a healthy form of or tension, stress release or comedy.
Sometimes however, I do tend to go overbord, the thoughts tend to jump into my head and immediately out of my mouth before stopping to see if it's an appropriate comment or something that would hurt someones feelings.
Depicted in the right way, it can be humorous and provide the evening with a sense of flare and dramatic effect that can bring passion and livelyness to any situation. | |

Posted: 7/26/2008 6:50:05 PM | Sarcasm, as with any type of humor, or any type of communication, is only negative if the intent was malicious on the giver's behalf or if the recipient is insecure and takes things too personally. http://www.livescience.com/history/080620-hn-sarcasm.html Some of the points are valid.
Personally--I agree, life without all types of humor is BORING. Laughing is essential to life. | |

Posted: 8/17/2008 12:00:42 AM | I am always sad when I see in a profile that sarcasm is a turn on. The word comes from Greek meaning, 'To tear flesh". I agree with one of the other fellas/gals that said it's a form of anger. It really tears a person down and I don't find it attractive in the least, nor do I think it's a turn-on.

Posted: 8/21/2008 11:59:54 PM | "Sarcasm - a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain" (borrowed from up above)
In order to cut or give pain, wouldn't the object of sarcasm have to be present? Most sarcastics I know today don't have the guts to do so. They wait until well out of earshot before uttering their wit.
I used to know a guy who had to utter some bit of sarcasm in every situation. Get in the car - had to say something. Get out of the car - had to say something. Went into a restaurant - had to say something. Order - say something sarcastic. Food arrives - another sarcasm.
After a while, it gets to be very tiring and predictable. It loses any edge or humor to it. It becomes boring. Irritating. Much of the time absolutely inappropriate to boot.
He was so used to doing this - when a valid emergency came up involving actual danger to people or property - his first instinct was not to react to safeguard - but to stop and think what he could say to make his signature sarcastic remark.
Up until then, he was just increasingly irritating, but at that moment, he became not only superfluous to me, but a life-endangering obstruction.
Sexy? Hardly. | |

No sarcasm? No snarkiness? No biting sense of humor? I'd rather die than be with a humorless individual who can't give as good as he gets. Sarcasm is a form of sophisticated wordplay and those who don't engage in it are, in my opinion, dull blades indeed. Give me the creative metaphor, the clever story with the ironic twist ... just don't give me any more sleep-inducing profiles ridden with cliches and misspellings!
Bingo. Sarcasm and creative wordplay light up a part of my brain that, well, around here, frankly doesn't get lit up that often. | |

Posted: 9/13/2008 10:41:10 AM | My b/friend is the most sarcastic sh*t there is - and I think it's hilarious! He'd say something & hours later when I think of what he said I start giggling again...you've got to pair it with the right facial expressions too, like rolling your eyes...
I can also be sarcastic & my son loves it..he says 'mum I love ur stinking attitude'
