Humble

Seriously, why describe yourself as humble? Does it have a slang meaning I'm missing (like wicked sick = WOW amazing)

because it is not a sexy word. To me it says hello, may I be your doormat?

Official definition -
1. having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's importance.
"I felt very humble when meeting her"
synonyms: meek, deferential, respectful, submissive, self-effacing, unassertive, unpresuming;
2. of low social, administrative, or political rank.
"she came from a humble, unprivileged background"
synonyms: low-ranking, low, lowly, lower-class, plebeian, proletarian, working-class, undistinguished, poor, mean, ignoble, of low birth, low-born, of low rank;

So when a guy describes himself as humble, whoa, haud me back. NOT.

I'm obviously missing something. If it now means full of fun, rampant libido, and a real guy's kinda guy, I have been blocking a lot of exciting men lately.

doh

My experience? Anyone that has to 'advertise' their qualities like that, probably isn't. NEXT!
Molly, at least your friend's little guy knows where he should be. Some small male dogs pump anything in reach - ears a favourite. But then your dog's ears would be way out of reach.

Ever tell you about the bird rescuer I met through a friend? She had cushions scattered all over her garden, for the roosters she'd rescued. Bonking cushions. Roosters be both weird and wired. If she didn't supply cushions they forced themselves on all her other birds roll eyes
Pat any lady friend on a date night focusing on the film and the chocolates instead of on you deserves any injuries she gets

That's marriage behaviour, that is. She's giving us dating ladies a bad rep scold
Imp, does beg the point though, what does your average mr nice guy put on his profile? "I'm okay?"

We all have to sell ourselves using words that we think fit us to a t, and hope the person reading them understands the same meanings uh oh

A guy I was already chatting to, a couple years back, changed his profile to describe himself as witty and charming, I was quite pleased, reckon that would scare off any possible competition laugh
Haven't read the comments but I personally always took humble to be the opposite of arrogant. Take Mandela for example. I have a huge dislike in arrogance. bouquet
Typho Your obedient and humble servant. goldie x This was used on Govt. letters up until about the late 1060s, it is so subservient, but I guess they were civil servants who wrote them. Take care Slan good luck

I've certainly been humbled many times in my life.
Oh aye, we've all had our kickings! Usually when we were riding highest ...
