You type like a girl!

Last night as we were setting on the couch, watching TV and I was on the netbook, and my wife proceeded to tell me I typed like a girl... Because I have long nails... I kind of shrugged it off and a little while later "you type like a girl". She gets on me about my long nails all the time and I usually file them shorter... But this time she didn't tell me to cut them, she just want to let me know that she knew that I typed like a girl?

For a split second I almost said "if you stopped bitting yours and grew them out you too could type like a girl". But then common sense and a dislike of painful arguments kicked in and I bit my lips!! Which btw had lip plumper on them so they probably looked like a girl's lips too... "You bite your lips like a girl...". Hahaha.

So does your SO get on you ever little things you do like a girl or am I the only lucky one?

Sorry to say I don't type like a girl, fact is I can hardly type at all....two fingers and I have to look at the keyboard. Girls don't do that do they?
:lol:

My wife types more like a typist, me I have a modified hunt & peck that works for me.

My wife types on her computer so much, she wears off the letters on 7 keys, consistently, in about a year or so. Even on good quality boards. Maybe the all black Das Keyboard?

my partner often says you look like a boy or act like a boy in certain ways. We both have short nails (both bite them) so neither of us are going to type like a girl. way too much world of warcraft to do taht like a girl. he says i stand like a boy when dressed .

Nope.

I guess either I do nothing like a girl, or she doesn't want to make the compliment. :P

Well my wife doesn't give compliments! Lol. More than once we have been in a store and I'll grab a shopping basket and throw it on my bent arm, so I can use both hands to grab stuff and she will motor accross the store and grab the basket away... "Give me that.... Your holding it like a girl again". Maybe she's finally starting to get the hints?

Long nails are no option when playing guitar or doing woodwork and other work at home. I'am not given those nice comments. :roll:

I used to play and tried my sons guitar a few years ago... Your right nails don't work... But for wood working and auto and home repair and good pair of tight mechanics gloves are sooo nice when it comes to saving your nails.. Preferably pink ones! :).

Really? No long nails for guitar? I had a ex-boyfriend that would grow out his nails on purpose to play classical guitar. :-k

What? The bibical system of typing? Seek and ye shall find? :lol: Before I learned to type with acriylic nails I switched to that, but now I can hardly type without the longer nails, until they get too long. Then they hit extra keys and the error rate climbs, and climbes and clonbs and... :)

Ok I confess, sometimes I have nail polish on but that still doesn't mean I type like a girl. :lol:

I wear bifocals,I don't touch type, and I stand in front of a pc terminal all day with a phone cradled in between my shoulder and my ear, typing with two fingers while looking back and forth between the monitor, which is too far away, the keyboard, which is too close,equipment catalogs which are all over the place, and the surly technician across the counter who wants to know why I'm talking on the phone instead of waiting on him.

So, no. I don't type like a girl. I type like the friggin Hunchback of Notre Dame on serious coke. @33@

Growing up I use to run a lot both track and cross country. I got multiple times that I ran like a girl. At the time it was just normal making fun of others and I was not a speedy runner. Now I do find naturally I walk like a woman. Does make one wonder if the kids were right back than.

Maybe its because I took typing in High School with all the girls instead of shop class??
