he has really red cheeks so it looks like hes blushing 24/7 so I came up with the nickname rosey
and he really gets pissed when i call him that
idk why i think its a sweet nickname

Wouldnt you be better off asking him instead?

Rosey is a connotes female characteristics
so what in your right mind thinks he would like being called a girl's name???

Again, sorry for voicing my opinion.
Good luck with that ...

so it's offensive to be called female?
but if someone that identified with being female was called "bro" would it still be considered offensive? gender bias smh

in general an emancipated female is seen as more manly in the public eye, whereas a feminine guy is perceived as being less manly and thus less competent.. as a result girls from early on don't mind being called a tomboy as much as a boy when he's called gay...

It is a matter of personal taste.
Most men don't want to wear a dress but most women can get away with wearing pants.
So much for sexual equality .... Anyway, this is side tracking the topic

The point is in this particular situation. Her bf doesn't like to be called rosey.
It is a male thing ... no guy wants to be called Nancy, Susie, or Rosey ...
Most boys were exposed to this cultural bias (in America) while young
Some would be called gay if any effeminate characteristics were displayed
Thus making gay a term of degradation. And, displays of female characteristics
an avenue of embarrassment and ridicule. So, why continue to call him that
and piss him off???

No, you are correct!
imtherealsugarbaby you are insulting his manhood! Plus you dont give him enough sex......poor guy.... he must not feel very manly anymore....

It sounds like Rosie, a fat ugly lesbo.

okay

He probably hates that nickname b/c it's very girlish: Rose, Rosie, etc.

A boy named sue anyone?
