When I'm texting a girl, sometimes I would like to use an emoticon to convey a certain tone, but I never do because I feel like it's unseemingly effeminate for a male my age (27) to be using them. Would you agree this is the case? :detective

Probably it depends on the emotion.

Those are okay^^

That one is girly
what about :) and ;) - I just don't think I can bring myself to do it. I never use exclamation marks either - they're also girly.
I think you are very good at expressing yourself without them - I never seem to have an issue with understanding your tone.
I don't think you could ever be mistaken for being effeminate, whether or not you use smileys.
I never use smileys or whatever. I always thought it'd be because I was too old, but I guess women using 'em don't bug me, so it must be a feminine thing?
... I do use exclamation marks tho. I don't know why that'd matter.
As long as you don't beat them like a dead hooker, go for it. It can be sweet and something different in moderation.
I think "pussy" is the wrong term, "gay" comes to mind.
No hearts and I would think you're good to go.
It sounds like you're using them sparingly. I use emoticons too, but not very much.
Sending emoticons to a girl is no more pussy-ish than sending flowers, I think. Sure, your buddies will snicker, but if she appreciates it, who gives a ****?
Yeah, you gotta coo them somehow.
Yeh i dont give it a thought if a guy texts using emoticons/smileys within reason...though i probably wouldnt text back if he put <3 on it.(thats just weird)
I dont think you have anything to worry about charlie, your the last person people think of when the words 'girly' or 'gay' are mentioned!
emoticons add spice to the entire conversation. :D
I've always used smiley's with my girlfriend.
I don't use them but I suppose I would if I wanted to.
Women use them a lot more obviously...I don't think it makes you a pussy if you use them but I suppose who really gives a **** if it does?
My H only send me one, and thats the one he made up for a BJ lol .
