FitChick Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I thought I was imagining things or maybe it was due to their age, but it seems to be a "pandemic" according to Lake Bell. I find it very annoying, personally. How do you guys feel? Link to post Share on other sites
SpiralOut Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I know someone who does that whenever she asks me a personal question. She does it to make herself look vulnerable so I'll be more likely to open up, or at least that's what I think. I don't like it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie Edirol Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I cant stand it when people talk in questions. Ive had women try to get me to open up by baby talking, to appear less intrusive. Never worked. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Emilia Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 It's annoying. One girl in the office is like that and we don't understand why. Others just get into the high pitched voice thing when they hang out in group and the pitch gets higher and higher as they get more excited. My voice is relatively low so I lower it more to bring the pitch down a bit, that tends to work. Link to post Share on other sites
T3h L337 d00d Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Most people these days act like children and that's why it's so refreshing to meet some one who acts like a real person. This statement goes double or triple for women. Link to post Share on other sites
ascendotum Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I had a gf a few yrs back that talked a bit like this on occasions (when she was in a playful mood or down in confidence). I know it annoyed a few other women but I found it endearing actually. I think the main reason was I worked with professional women (auditors, accountants, lawyers, engineers, business analysts, software testers, etc) and many were very business like, so it was the contrast & girlyness that appealed to me. Hardly thought it was pandemic though. Link to post Share on other sites
Radu Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 A couple of yrs ago i was reading a movie review online, and one poster mentioned how the female character's voice would become slightly higher-pitched when she was around her man, while lowering when around her friends and family. It's a protection thing, higher pitched voices appeal more on a subconscious level to men. It's something that ppl do without realizing. This new fad is an attempt by some of them to appear even more vulnerable. It is incredibly annoying. Link to post Share on other sites
Woggle Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Many people act like 12 year olds as well so it's only natural they sound like them. Link to post Share on other sites
HiddenUser Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I don't mind what people sound like so much as I do what they say. I can't stand it when someone mispronounces something. I know far too many people who say "supposebly" rather than "supposedly." I hate it. It's usually the people who think they're wicked smart that do it, too. Ugh. Such a turn off.

tman666 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yuck. How could I respect someone as an equal and take seriously someone who talked like that? Link to post Share on other sites

RedRobin Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yea... It's all backwards. 12 year old girls dress up like strippers these days... ... and grown women rip out all (or most) of their pubic hair and talk in baby talk so that they come across as 12 year olds.
