what did he mean by this?

Question

my "friend" just said to me....
tell me something "profound".
what did he mean by this? I didn't want to come off as a dumb blonde , so I just ask him...like what? He had no reply to make. What did he mean by profound?

I got more advice from this section then any other today! More grown-ups in here than married section! lol

Answer 1

i guess something deep ... something different no one had ever heard u tell them b4

Answer 2

Well sweetie, sound likes he may have been dumb too if he couldn't answer the question "what do you mean". Don't shoot yourself down because you don't know what the word "profound" mean, hell he probably don't either. He may have heard it some where and decided to use it. Men try to make us think we are something that we are not and that is "dumb". Girl, next time show him that you are smarter, pull out the "webster" on him. It's nothing wrong with that after all that's what it's for to look up words we are not sure about.

Answer 5

Something really deep and thought-provoking, like "When people hate a personality trait in others, it's usually a trait they actually hate in themselves." I think it was kind of a dumb question for him to ask out of the blue like that, and you are not a dumb blonde.
