Genuine linguistics question, applies to every romantic candidate I’ve had as an adult and pretty much every male friend (sometimes the friend part came after the failed situationship). Without telling a man that other men have referred to me as such, they all consistently refer to me as “dope.” Despite age, region, ethnicity etc. and for some of whom, it surprises me as part of their vocabulary. Not saying it’s a bad thing. Just too consistent to not wonder what it means in guy language. Other descriptors I’ve received feel largely based on my personality or even based on…respect for me? I’ve asked a few men why that choice of word and the response is like a shrug or “because it’s true.” Physical compliments happen too and I’ve been informed there is a hierarchy of cute, gorgeous, hot, beautiful. But “dope” is 100% used as supplementary every time so why always that word? Does it mean something when you describe a woman that way? submitted by /u/throwawayacct702
