Why You Should Be Friends With People Who Curse

[@baryonyx31]

Well it's because when you know you are lying you use a more formal vocabulary to convince. And when you swear it's like you couldn't care less what they think about what ur saying.

[@Hollow33N]

Well said my dude.

[@antoniocoleman9200]

baryonyx31 true

[@bigdickpornsuperstar]

While I agree with you, I still allow for the existence of those who lie whenever their lips are moving.

[@qqq1701]

I never swear around other people but I do to myself.

[@DemonXeron]

At least you can trust yourself.

[@qqq1701]

Now that I think about it the me I present to everyone is pretty much a lie all the time so I guess this works in my case.

[@xreon7636]

qqq1701 I do that to, i just think it's not "Good Looking", it just seems bad when people (mostly teens) do it in like every 3 words they say.

[@FreeFromWar]

It means you lie to everybody else

[@waleedalqalaf3330]

i dont swear at all, but i dont lie either. how can you trust me?

[@garybuck6535]

Not true from experience my friend swears all the time and lies all the time

[@memedepartment8797]

hes probably 11 then

[@irok1]

[@Quifuh]

There's a difference between people who swear and twats who think swearing makes them cool or mature or just overall cunts who like being rude to everyone.

[@DemonXeron]

There are exceptions to every correlation.

[@Master_Therion]

Well, when you are *sworn* in you say, "I *swear* to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help me God damn it."

[@caelvanir8557]

"I fucking swear to tell the shitty truth, the whole goddamn truth and nothing but the truth".

[@benl8962]

Master Therion what if that was a lie

[@AM-bj7yo]

Master Therion good one😂😂😂

[@kellyhe3012]

"I swear to fucking tell the truth, the whole shitty truth, as bad as it may fucking be, and nothing but the truth. So God help me"

[@victormcclure5800]

My grandmother always told us that swearing was a weak mind trying to express a forceful thought. I feel people just need to increase their vocabulary.

[@Devine3190]

This should be known. Overly polite people are unbearable.

[@SinoLegionaire]

The thing is, I'm either overly polite or I go into total homicidal sadist mode. I have mental issues tbh.

[@Toastmaster_5000]

I think it's important to distinguish that swearing _once in a while_ makes you more trustworthy, because it can show frustration and emphasis. But swearing too often or as filler words makes you seem like you are exaggerating too much, or are less intelligent, where you're deemed less trustworthy.

[@1110-s1t]

Peter Schmidt did you check the study or are you basing that on your anecdotal experience?

[@Toastmaster_5000]

Australian Progressive Did _you_ check the study? Because first of all, the first part involved fewer than 300 people, of which are presumably from a pretty concentrated demographic. That would make that as worthless as an anecdote. The Facebook analysis is somewhat useful, but didn't have much detail in terms of control groups or average amount of swearing per sentence. So it's hardly credible in of itself. There have been other studies suggesting that swearing _too much_ makes others deem you as less intelligent. Generally speaking, when someone thinks less of your intelligence, they're not going to trust you as much.

[@chainsrad6354]

Peter Schmidt dude. You just shut you're own argument down. You changed the subject. It's not how people perceive you, that's not what's being discussed, it's about how u actually are.

[@Toastmaster_5000]

No, I didn't. It's really not a hard concept to grasp - people are not going to trust you if they think you're dumb. Having a crappy vocabulary is an easy way to look dumb.

[@1110-s1t]

Peter Schmidt I didn't read it, I only wanted to be the big man behind a keyboard. I stand corrected. I will keep watching my swearing when testifying then. Thanks.

[@maxgorden499]

All this proves is implosive people who lack self control swear more, deception takes intent and self control.

[@AlvinCornelius]

You call it swearing, I call it sentence enhancer.

[@AriellaArtavia]

[@carolinevitek5810]

I call it lazy

[@Linkous12]

I have a difficult time imagining Trace cussing a lot.

[@Master_Therion]

He swears on his personal channel. Not a lot, just a few "F-bombs" here and there. I recently subbed to him, his videos are pretty good. ^_^

[@hannocoetzer8763]

What is the name of his channel

[@Katya-on6xv]

Lol i'm that cursing friend

Yep I know.

[@mrminnesota9820]

[@AriellaArtavia]

I am tooo lol

[@Joshua-fp3gj]

I used to be a cursing friend

[@the-dashing-d6046]

It's not swearing; I believe it's bluntness. People aren't going to instinctively hold themselves back when falsely apprehended.

[@andersonteo7415]

An experience from my past self who swears a lot. When I was in high school swearing is one of so called "skills" everyone know me and my shitty mouth. Well I did met a lot of friends from my swearing career. I swear for a reason. Just to entertain my friends. Well just to make them laugh and be funny most of the time everyone likes me, it felt like I was meant to swear I felt proud of myself the teachers even called my potty mouth because I even swear at them ( they know I was just joking so they didn't take it seriously ) Honestly speaking, on my honesty scale, I lie a lot. About the stories that I made up just to entertain my friends. On the other hand, I'm straight forward with my words when commenting on one's looks or the way they act, people hated it and I just replied that I was just "being honest". And then It took a toll on me. My friends started to leave me like I don't even exist. I was a memory a past even a history. I was left alone. I knew it was my mouth all along. The way I speak from the way I act, it is obscenely rude. I have to change I say to myself, so I did. I have stopped swearing. But my friends were not happy about it, they want my old funny self back, they want me to make dirty and dark jokes again, they want the way I was before. And I didn't change back I am stuck with my new self. The quiet type, the one who avoids everything. Even my friends. I thought maybe my friends will like the new me but none of my friends speak to me again, until this day I graduated my high school currently looking for a collage. Left out most of the time. Here is a lesson from the story above, Befriend with the one who curse a lot, they can give you a lot of entertainment, they will will be your ears when you need one. But Never Ever, Be The One who curse.

[@priscillam8903]

awwwww. Let me give you a hug. You will have good friends who will accept you for who you TRULY are.

[@lukeGGlee]

I always figured this to be true

[@Dorian53n]

my friend never sweard in his life (only on accident) and he is the most honest person i know.

[@legalfictionnaturalfact3969]

jormung, then there is no correlation in this case.

[@reignrevival2689]

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore- while I nodded, nearly napping there came a fucking tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “Tis some bitch,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door- only this and nothing more.

[@JustinMorgan105kg]

If I were honest about my feelings I'd be unemployed.

[@TriniCrew]

i just swear in different languages at work, they are not the wiser

[@bleuthaidesigns3799]

I said "Hell NO!" on a phone interview for unemployment and was instantly deemed untrustworthy and denied unemployment (2016) - I was stunned that my emphatic expression was used against me

[@greenrobot5]

Idk what to say, I think there's an appropriate time to swear, especially to indicate anger, but not in casual conversation.

[@AmariDeraisx]

how did he know I just vomited in the toilet 0:04

[@fremicon]

Amari Deraisx lol "potty"

[@Guitar_shred00098]

Pseudoscience... Neurological and psychological mis-findings, along with social standing. People who curse in a judicial or professional setting tend to immediately lose all credibility.

[@paktahn]

only because people have been conditioned to expect a credible person to act talk and walk a certain way none of these can be applied to a persons credibility it is a perfect example of society as a whole judging a book by its cover only your history and character references from other credible people should be used to determine a persons credibility

[@Three_Random_Words]

" People who curse in a judicial " Reminds me of some scenes from the the cult movie fav 'Idiocracy'.

[@ilovesparky13]

Just because you don't agree with the findings doesn't make it "pseudoscience."

[@landonazbill122]

It's statistical science. Yes, results within this field may not be representive of an entire population (the phrase correlation is not causation comes to mind) but they can still suggest whether or not there is sufficient evidence to support a given hypothesis.

[@xAxisTechOFFICIAL]

One sane person. Found you

[@kght222]

if i'm not in front of a customer.........

[@savannah4439]

I'm not entirely convinced...I feel like there may be some sort of selection bias going on here, but that's mainly a hunch based on personal experience. I don't swear at all, but I find that a vast majority of the time it's not that I'm consciously keeping myself from cursing, but that I'm not particularly inclined to swear in the first place. It could be that since the data was drawn in large part from FB, that people like me just aren't posting on FB, and thus aren't being counted in the data at all. I know I've literally never posted a status on FB, so perhaps there are other people like me who also don't swear but also don't post.

[@joshuaho1034]

Savannah are you still convince this is still true after a years or so? Just curious

[@user-lt5ot9wh9c]

I think people who curse more are just less in control of themselves, because they don't think before they speak. When asked a question, the truth is what comes to mind first. If a person doesn't think before they speak, of course what comes out of their mouth will be true, but that doesn't make them *honest people*...it makes them stupid and out of control. "Murica!"

[@JorgenPakieto]

Although this is true to a certain extent, you should take it only as a small indication until you know more about the person behind the swearing. I've known people who have admitted to swearing because it helps them lie while coming off as an honest person. I know swearing sounds like the pinnacle of aggressive expression which induces the vibe that these people are honest, making people aware of this however can also cause them to apply it as a weapon for the exact opposite purpose of swearing in the case of honesty that is.

[@GlenHunt]

I haven't read the study, but I'd be willing to bet that this may only robustly apply to mainstream socializers and not to those who prefer to spend time with fewer people or alone. Extroverts and introverts have very different social needs and behave accordingly.

[@graffitifreighttrains1076]

Like Eazy-E said "I just curse to get my point across." 😎

[@MsShannruggles]

Dad said we could all just say 'Chicken Bone' If we wanted to Cuss. We weren't Allowed to Cuss-Period. Grandma said "If You Don't have Something Nice to say, don't say Nothin!!" Nothing Can Be Said That Will Make Me Change My Mind About Bad Lsnguage. I Don't Happen to Think it's Appropriate in Any Situation ....

[@MrCHINBAG]

Shann Ruggles what about during child birth?

[@MsShannruggles]

MrCHINBAG Honestly, I played chess during most of it... No Big Deal. i did go to lamaz classes tbo. Wasn't that bad, I dunno what all the fuss was about - no medicine during labor. it was natural childbirth.

[@MrCHINBAG]

Lucky you

[@MsShannruggles]

Only being honest.

[@MaxContagion]

i think it might mostly have to do with physical make up. Not for sure. I've heard it repeatedly stated that by some people they couldn't understand why the actors acted like it was such a painful process. The ones that said this had given birth to multiple children over their lifetime. I've never researched the matter and don't tend to trust actors and movies to portray things accurately so have no clue as to what is the average females experience giving birth, or what are the other possible ranges of experiences that can be had.

[@spadeygameplays6783]

More free thinkers are more freely open and freeing up loose ends might help one not lose friends.

I'm intensely honest and never even think swear words. I don't get caught up in drama, which includes both swearing and dishonesty.

[@MatMicMarGaming]

[@paulfoster5746]

In my personal sample size of 1, I've found people who swear to be noticeably less honest and they swear to try to cover up that fact.

[@KaiBellarose]

I'm very honest I just am introvert and shy and also wanna be super nice so if you ask me if you look ugly today, i'll probably have trouble being blunt about it. Also I don't swear really or in front of people, I just don't really feel the need to most of the time.

[@GIZ-BAR]

lol That sounds about right, I still try not to curse though... When ever I get angry I'm trying my best not to curse, so, I replace the bad words with other words like: "Garbage!, Garbage Dump-Truck!, Biscuits!, Mothers Biscuits!, Fudge!, Fudge Brownies!, Shut The Front Door!, Unbelievable!, Un-freakin-believable!, Beautiful!" Well, that's my list... lol Every now and then I can't hold back, when I end up using the real words, but it depends on my anger. Thanks, D-news. I feel a little better about swearing now... But, I can't forget I'm Christian. Peace, Love, and God blesses. 😇

[@GIZ-BAR]

+M. Utley Oh my goodness! Okay, that wasn't meant to be a swear word. lol yeah, I guess you're right about my list of words, they are still used to express anger. 😆

[@MUtley-rf8vg]

Gasper Davila Used to express HONESTY ;)

[@birdiementlegen226]

Don’t get me wrong, this is just my own opinion. Why we swear 1. It’s funny 2. It’s another way to express your emotions 3. It helps you get popular if you ever want to become a youtuber. (EX: Pew, Jack and Mark) 4. People who swear just think they’re more cooler than people who don’t (Not trying to be rude or offensive) 5. It’s a strong way to roast someone.

[@JoeyChen16]

In the first study it feels like that everyone just swore the same amount, but those who told the truth about how much they swore, also obviously would appear more trustworthy

[@johnadams5913]

Swearing is the inability to elucidate ones self and usually points to a deep seated fear, insecurity and frustration leading to anger.

[@schanychamemphis1327]

actually swearing is a great way to "elucidate" myself. I do not have many fears and I am not insecure. Swearing helps me express my frustration and hence alleviates so much anger. A little judgemental- eh?

[@dsvx86]

I do swear at work or with my friends. Whenever I complain about something at work I tend to swear more than usual and that's because I can do a better job. Swearing is a good thing indeed... Read@kindle: Hardware Thieves

[@ridcom]

Yeah, I curse like a marine and a sailor in bed...

[@AriellaArtavia]

Sameeeee lol

[@ShaneD3488]

In my experience people who swear just tend to be less educated and have a more limited vocabulary. They have to swear because they don't know many other adjectives to use. Using the same swear words over and over again just makes you sound very ignorant.

[@EricChamplin]

Next DNews will be arguing how hanging out with pot heads will be beneficial for productivity lol

[@exmo7]

It's funny because I feel like sometimes people are turned off by swearing

[@tristanhoekstra]

My parents basically thought me to swear. Some of the most offensive words I got from them. I guess you could say they were very honest about who they were, because they were acting the same around us as if they'd be alone or with adults.

[@reue100]

i believe this test only applies to adults to be fair.

[@fegolem]

If this isn't a joke, it's bullshit. Trust me.

[@z0vc947]

I have a friend that swears all the time. Its really rare to hear him say a single sentence without a swear word in it. But he is about the least trustworthy guy I know, and I catch him lying all the time. Now as hes starting to mature a little, I think hes starting to grow out of that. But from what Ive seen, its the complete opposite. Me for example, I almost never swear, and Im about the one guy you can trust the most with anything, and I rarely lie as well. The only time I do is if its for a good reason. For example, when someone asks me how they look, I might say you look great. However sometimes thats a lie.

[@spacepopeXIV]

I swear a lot to point that I really feel I should stop... I guess I'm not anymore. Here come friends... lots of them.

[@demontamerbf18]

I'm really honest but I don't like to swear, I've always thought it sounds bad, I only swear in writing

[@themathwizj07]

Cussing and/or swearing actually shows signs of ignorance. People often find it rude and disrespectful. Based on this, children under the age of 18 should not be cussing.

[@Trip_Ts]

I usually cuss when I get mad , bewildered, frustrated and mostly of all pain. no maybe frustration more. I get frustrated a lots.

[@diarmuidbalfe7264]

Maybe dishonest people just lie about how much they swear?

[@nihilisticpancakeface6553]

This explains why i swear at anyone who touches me while sleeping.

[@MrReierz]

The problem with this is that honesty makes people who swear, its not the people who swear that become more honest (I think). So, no... you shouldnt start swearing. It wont help.

[@samuelmelcher]

The people who were more honest said that they swear more than the people who are less honest said they did. This sounds to me like the honest people just admitted to how much they swear while the others didn't.

[@calvinfeisalfatwanirwana9389]

I swear only if i'm really angry, & i did it when i'm alone. I don't swear when talk to others, I considered swearing at times like that is rude.

[@bluegriffen88]

there's a difference in being honest and being blunt and ignorant. Those more times than not are the people who swear get reality with your science strait.

[@calebgoff5428]

when people swear constantly around me it makes me feel so uncomfortable and weird

[@strawberrymilksamurai]

I swear a lot and some of my "friends" (mostly women, for some reason which baffles me, because I'm a woman too and I can't imagine why people would want to do this) hate me for it. Come to think of it, these same women have lied to me and others about some very important things to the point that I don't trust them anymore and doubt if they really are my "friends". They never swear either and think swearing is "bad" and spend their time taking duckfaced selfies with fake smiles to post on the net. One of them even pretended to be me to impress some random guy (that guy was impressed by something I had written on a forum and she took full credit for it, telling him it was her who had written it and then proceeded to even unendingly ask me details about what I had written to impress the guy further even though she proudly hates the subject matter herself - comicbooks). This was a guy she doesn't even like - she was just looking for attention. These women are all above 30 years old and it's weird that they still think swearing is bad and are more concerned with impressing other people at all costs more than being honest to themselves and others

[@Anth0ny.Bright]

who else is emailing this to all their friends

[@nonchalantd]

This doesn't make sense. Because they know that cursing is not socially acceptable in most cases, people that curse are usually emotional and lack impulse control, which is the same group of people that lack the discipline not to lie.

[@ColinJonesPonder]

Helping out with a duff TV remote control in a pub the other day, I said, "Give me the fucking thing!" My brother said, "There's a lady here!" indicating the barmaid. I said, "I'm not sexist, I'll swear in front of anyone!" Barmaid was appreciative the rest of the night ;) (and I did fix the remote control) ;)

[@alexbennet5882]

yea i would say that has some truth it is curse a lot and my friends have always said I'm quite honest bit not the point of being rude or mean

[@ThankYouESM]

Golly-Gee-Whiz... throughout my life now over 40 years of age, I've been avoiding people who swear since I thought that they have quite a lack enough self-control which to me was why I thought they can not be trusted, especially having personally met many that would tend to physically lash out at people like a loose cannon.

[@zakstratford744]

Interesting, I swear a fair amount... And I am a fairly honest person. You will get those 'scared to swear' people who are honest though. I find that people who swear more are more open to people

[@LarryPhischman]

I have never trusted people who don't swear on an instinctual level.

[@tenaciouspoetry]

It's sorta instinctual not too

[@candygoddess]

I like fries

[@Wafflesweber]

No ONE SAID this was anywhere NEAR Scientifically Proven!!! Studies (1 or More), have POINTED in this DIRECTION. But it makes sense to me, especially when someone is taken by surprise, (probably going to have a more honest reaction, swear more). Or if a person is guilty or has prior knowledge, (this person is going to be on their best behavior, be controlled, and say what is most favorable to them . Also, when someone is giving an unsolicited statement of opinion or feeling, it seems likely they would use stronger words that are less calculated.

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

I don't know about this one. I've known *as far as I can tell * honest people who say they prefer not to swear because they feel more intelligent & dignified. On the other side I've known liars who swear like sailors & vice versa. There are good and bad in all groups.

[@owenallen2215]

Wait what if the people who self proclaimed that they don't swear were just being dishonest in that part too...

[@aaronyu2660]

Sigh, o well, no it's a opinion and by my psychological analysis, if in anyway the people who swear, mixed in with different subtypes of people, swear, they don't have any benefits from what they all have. Most of those people might have some thing similar within their personalities, but the benefits of becoming one totally depends on the friend, I am serious. Besides, I'd say there are many reasons why I wouldn't be friends with one because everyone should be in some way different and it would take too long to explain, but I would prefer choosing a friend that doesn't cuss

[@isthisnametaken978]

But I rarely curse because I'm not the potty mouth kind of person. Does that mean I'm dishonest?

I can see this being true, however I have also found the biggest liers to be the ppl that sware a tone, and some of the most honest people I know never sware. so not really a hard and fast rule in my opinion.

[@vottoduder]

I swear/cuss when I think its appropriate or proper. Example: If I were to describe a rapist, I wouldnt say, "He is a bad person." I would say, "He is a fucking shitbag." It gives my words more meaning.
