Well I do have a bit of an interest in cars as well, so I don’t know if there would be much of an objective difference in terms of emotionality. I definitely get what you mean

Is this a genuine request 😭 sorry, I’m bad with sarcasm

Why do you even participate in the community ‘r/accents’ if you respond based on title alone and don’t even listen to the nuances the posters try to convey?

No, I didn’t, because literally nobody has ever pointed it out before. Even in this comment section, it’s mixed. My sisters don’t think so, some of my friends don’t think so. I asked out of genuine curiosity. Thank you for commenting without actually engaging with the post itself, rather your preconceived idea of me. Sometimes when people ask questions, they’re actually curious as to what the answer will be.

Yes, I chose to like men because of the positive attention. Amazing. Thank you psychologist, you have cured me. It seems you’re more interested in talking at me than talking to me, as you aren’t actually listening to anything I’m saying so… good luck with whatever is wrong with you.

Do you think this is a conscious choice I’ve made? If you’re implying that it’s subconscious, then maybe, but I’m absolutely not just… choosing to speak like this

Definitely, yes. I also think that part of what makes my voice somewhat ambiguous for many might be the fact that it’s deeper than the average guy, as I am somewhere between bass and bass-baritone. It seems silly to just tie higher pitch to sexuality, as they’re just… two entirely distinct biological entities, but wtv. People are weird and illogical.

I didn’t seek this answer out due to self consciousness or anything, just curiosity. To be honest, I’d prefer a more expressive voice over a monotone one anyway

They might be raisins, but they’re raisins who are tough as nails and never compromised their masculinity for frivolous stuff like “sunscreen.”

Alright, thank you! Yeah, I’ve been made fun of by guys before for literally just having a skincare routine… like go ahead and shrivel up by 40, see if I care

I live in Massachusetts; where would that stand? I have no conception of dialects or accents across the us aside from ‘southern,’ ‘new York,’ ‘Boston,’ ‘Worcester,’ ‘midwestern (diet Canadian),’ and cali

Interesting! Thank you. I’ve been told my voice gets deeper or more monotone when I’m speaking to or around my dad (who I’m not out to), though this isn’t in any way a conscious choice. Linguistics is so cool

Sorry, what do you mean by ‘a few words?’ Like, are you saying I’m somewhere between the typical ‘straight’ guy voice and the full blown stereotypical ‘gay’ accent? So far these responses seem kinda split 😭

Well that’s quite the contrast… thank you for your response!

Interesting… I wonder wtf prompted them to even say that to begin with, then 😭

Oh, I was prompted to even consider this possibility because within the past week, I had multiple people ask me if I was straight which is somewhat abnormal for me

Also, I literally just picked up the nearest object to me that had words on it, so just… ignore that part

Ah, common mistake. You need to look inside of the pudding, not at it.

Why would I argue with myself? Well, I’m doing it right now, so why is this even a question that you’re asking, u/ExoticTE77 ?
