Will I look like "wuss" in front of my friends if I don't swear?

Question

Well.. it's not a matter of whether or not I swear really, it's if I'm using alternatives to common curse words.

I say stuff like

"Oh for Pete's sake!"

"Freakin"

"Dang"

Will I look like a wuss if I use these around my friends?

Answer 1

no not swearing is fine, but maybe say oh for gods sake, and damnn not dang.

Answer 2

UR FRIENDS??!!! if they are ur friends then u shouldnt be worried about if u look like a wuss or not! gees! If they're ur friends they should accept that u dont want to swear! its perfectly normal not to swear, i dont swear!  

but dont say 'oh for Pete's sake' ... thats a bit lame

i dont think saying '****' is a swear word, maybe u could say that instead

Answer 3

Only real men curse.

Answer 4

I think you should not care what others think of you and just be yourself, if you dont want to swear then dont. If friends of yours think your this that and the other because of it then thats there problem and your best moving on to more grown up people.

Answer 5

dam right

Answer 6

nahh not really. it may getting annoying to some people. but it def. does not mean your a wuss. if you start swearing it will become a habit. like anything that goes wrong im always like "ohhh f***"

and that's not always appropriate to be cursing. so i try not to and its just become a really unattractive habit for me. so i would much rather be in your position.

but i also agree with age. so if your like 25 and saying "oh danggg" thats a tad bit weird (:

but you should be fine. i would not worry about it

Answer 7

Just tell them that you've found something called a dictionary and a thesaurus and you've discovered that using different words and expanding your vocabulary to be a most illuminating experience!

Answer 8

Anyone who uses proper english or as close to it as possible will only look more intelligent to others, not wussy

and it will get you alot further in life.

Answer 9

Well the younger you are when you swear you just look like an idiot trying to be cool and act older than you really are.  Expecially if older people are listening to you they will probably laugh at you and your immature ways.  I dont swear its not a good habbit to start.  Dont worry if you feel like a wuss in front of your friends if they laugh at you and pick on you they obviously werent your good friend to start with.  Move on and find people who understand you.  God bless!

Answer 10

If you don't want to curse, don't. Too many people are pressured into being someone they are not. Cussing is a choice, just choose not to. I personally can't stand when I am talking to someone and they keep cussing every other word. You will look more like a wuss if you are a yes man and just follow whatever your friends do. Instead just bring the real you .

Answer 11

well, it depends how old you are. if your 12 and you drop the F-bomb, you sound stupid. but if you're 22, it's going to sound weird if you say "of for Pete's sake" (i'm assuming you're a guy)
