Kind of a facetious question, but does adding an emphasized 'bro' at the end of the sentence change the meaning and their response?

Like, if you said 'I like your shirt bro', and you put just a little bit of tude to the bro - would that decrease the risk of unintended signals?



Not really, the 'Girl Next Door' and 'Gamer Girl' have been sexualized so I'm just slotted into that category. Most of it is a function of what you look like and unfortunately for me my appearance just screams feminine and I tick a lot of physical boxes that are attractive to men.

My understanding is once you're like...55 or 60 you can start complimenting men under 40. Then men put you into 'nice grandma' instead of 'she wants to nail me'.
