My boyfriend's friend asked him how we were.
My boyfriend answered that his friend should change his setting to pirate talk....
Details: Were in a long distance relationship, and much of our so called relationship is chatting on msn and facebook... and I love him dearly, but if your guy does that, does that indicate a problem or am i thinking too much about it??
Haha, I don't think you need to worry.
I recently watched the whole Disney pirates movie trilogy again, so maybe I can help you here. The following concepts are commonly associated with pirates:
rum
sailing
buried treasure
armed robbery on the high seas
eyepatches
booty
talking parrots
illegal downloads
cannons
From the above list, modern men who are not actually pirates would most likely be talking about booty. Since you're in a long-distance relationship, it sounds like he's having fun with somebody that lives near him.
define fun... is it the cheating fun or the just friendly joking fun?Quote:

I don't know the friend involved, in terms of who he would tend to side with. He might cover for his friend, or he might honestly tell you what's going on. Or he might try to stay sort of neutral, by hinting without telling. So this pirate remark seems like a hint.Quote:

But if he's telling you everything he knows, then I would guess that your long-distance boyfriend is just frustrated by the lack of sex in this long-distance relationship. He is implying to the friend that he's getting a lot of sex (apparently from somebody else), but that's probably just macho posturing. Otherwise, he would have gone into some details. Unless maybe he did go into the details, and all you're getting from the friend is the pirate hint.
If this is just empty posturing, you should still be concerned, because it at least reflects dissatisfaction with the current situation. He might eventually act on that dissatisfaction and start cheating on you.
Sounds pretty immature and disrespectful on your boyfriends part. How old are you guys? Hopefully he is as into you are you are to him. I'd be kind of hurt too I suppose and maybe make me re-evaluate things. LD relationships are hard to maintain.
Were you standing right there and he changed into pirate so you couldn't understand what he said? I'm confused about exactly what happened.
@.@ sorry i wasn't so clear
it was in facebook on his wall. and his friend had asked him how we were doing, and he only replied to the wall post by saying change your setting to pirate talk.
So he didn't even address the question? I don't think that's such a big deal.
It doesn't have to be true but there is possibility he's meeting some girl in RL and his friends know her and ask about her not You... Do You know his friends in person?
Some guys like to invent codes for themselves so certain things they say only they will know what it means. I'm guessing that's what's happening here. There's something he/they don't want you to know so they're talking in codes.
Jesus Christ, you guys are thinking into this way too far. Have you never heard of Talk Like a Pirate Day? Pretending to be a pirate is a recurring (albeit somewhat nerdy) joke among a lot of people. My intuition tells me that someone who suggests changing your Facebook setting to pirate talk is not a very serious person. I would assume that this is a joke.
Give him a choice. Parley or walk the plank.
Keelhaul the scallywag!
Thank you for all who replied.. Honestly I still don't know what to think, and we won't be able to talk tonight since he's busy..
I guess tomorrow's when he starts to walk the plank...
What's a pirate talk?
on facebook you can change the settings so that everything is printed as 'pirate talk.' Much like you can change google search preferences to pig latin. Don't remember any examples, but I assume there's a lot of 'arghs.'
trust me, you can join your boyfriend in the fun if you'd like. just check out your settings.
EDIT: on a side note, reading all of the replies to this thread is twice as funny when you know of that ridiculous facebook feature
Uhm, it's facebook. Get over it.
