Do you find my screenname offensive..?

[xxManBeaterxx]

I was in the beginning of a swap on MUA and the lady who i was swapping with said she doesnt want to continue swapping with me because she found my name offensive... I didnt want to deal with any agrument or hasstle so i was like watever, its okay dont swap with me then.

If you want a little explanation of what my name means... I only had 2 boyfriends my whole life. The first one cheated on me the second one married me. But the first one cheated on me while we were still going out, and a few days later i made my first AIM screen name and i was having a hard time deciding on a name.. so i was like well i hate guys at the moment why dont i create manbeater.. already taken so i put xxmanbeaterxx...

Should i just make a new screenname?

i dont find your screen name offensive at all, i dont see anything wrong with it! If you feel comfortable with it, its all good. I think its everyone's personal choice, and i can even understand that swapping woman in SOME way - once a lady here wanted to buy from me, and her nick was something like devilish666.. and in her info she was playing saying she came from hell. Whatever, i didnt want to meet her or sell to her, call me a noob or whatever, so i said no. But in you case i dont see any single problem! Imaging Nelly Furtado's Maneater song, how creepy shoul THAT be for some people? LOL

I didn't think twice about it... kind of like calling those tanks "wife-beaters"; I don't really think twice about it and I don't really think everyone who wears them condones domestic abuse.

IMHO, the swapper was being a bit sensitive to not complete a swap because of it, but to each their own, I guess; who knows what her background and experiences are? She may well have a reason to be justifiably offended.

I personally wouldn't want to miss out on a good swap because of something as insignificant as a screenname.

I had the name of Mac Whore on my space (no longer there though under that name) and I had a few people ask me why I would want to be called a whore. I'm like, let me explain this to you, and lets see if your brain isn't too small to understand it. LOL Even my husband calls me a mac whore, because of my obsession with MAC, it's all in fun.

I really laughed out loud at this.

If I had been browsing the site and saw your screename I wouldn't have thought twice about it. I actually giggled at it after I took a look at this post. But, I can see how it might rub some people the wrong way. Everyone is sensitive to different things.

 

[glam8babe]

i dont find it offensive at all

 

[MACGIRL68]

Not at all offensive. Thought you would be like a Dominatrix.

 

[ilovegreen]

Like the others have said it's not offensive. It's not even your real name, the swapper must have some serious issues her loss.

I thought you were making a funny statement regarding "wifebeater" tank tops. I just thought you were switchin' it up.

 

[TDoll]

I don't think it's offensive at all.

 

[xxManBeaterxx]

yeah i know it can sound funny, but im religious and found it not offensive, but just.. unsuitable for me. I think both sides of swap have a right for doing this, and you should sell/swap only if it gonna make you feel good and positive.

 

[cutiebe2]

Its just a screen name..no biggie

 

[stacey4415]

i do

just out of interest, those who don't, would you find the screen name "woman beater" offensive?

 

[stacey4415]

I find it hard to understand why one must have serious issues for finding it offensive?

Nope, don't change it, whenever I see your name, I guess I just feel as if it's a joke or something... Not once did I think of you going home and beating your hubby.

whoever she is, she's just a SQUARE! lol

 

[NicksWifey]

Actually, I always laugh whenever I see your screenname. I think it's ridiculous for someone not to want to swap with you because of it. Some people are really sensitive and only they know why.
Don't let it bother you

 

[kyustman]

Honestly, when I saw your name, i didnt take it literally, like you beat men. I thought maybe it meant like you beat men in life...lol maybe i thought of it the wrong way but in my eyes, its like you were in a relationship with a guy and you could beat him at his own game, hence MAN BEATER.

lol i probably got the wrong meaning out of it... but either way, i don't find it offensive...it's just an alias

No. This is just silly.
