[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Negging” is not insulting someone, although a lot of foolish guys interpret it that way.  It’s a comment that is ambiguous and is the opening move in an attempt to start some banter.   Walking up to a woman in a bar and saying “you’re fat” is not negging, it’s abusive and insulting.  [b]Walking up to a woman and saying “that outfit is….um….daring”. Might be.[/b]  Or whatever.  Negging is playful, not insulting, and if you are doing it any other way you are doing it wrong. Yes, one might say that just sounds like ordinary flirting, and they would be mostly correct in doing so, explicit concepts like “negging” are basically remedial education for those who missed the memo the first time and need some explicit instruction.

Yeah being “playful” with a woman you’ve never met by suggesting she’s not dressed appropriately is absolutely the opening gambit of someone who treats women with respect.

There’s nothing your example does that the same sentence without the “um” doesn’t. The point of the “um” is to introduce uncertainty and self-consciousness. Why is that something you need for “banter”?[/quote]
