AnOther Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Totty or tottie is UK slang for an attractive person or group of people of the opposite sex, predominantly for a group of attractive women....Slang yes - but not neccessarily used in a derogatory sense [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Merci monsieur ! [:)]I wish all the best to this gentleman looking for a partner.. French women are just like any women in the world I assume, and if you want to meet some of my co citizens why don't you join the comité des fêtes in your city? or a gym club, or a photo club , any club ?? Maybe you could be introduced to French friends by your English friends ? Maybe they would be a couple but you may be invited someday to a barbecue or any celebration , and there she will be [;-)]Keep smiling, be happy, and love will come to you !

cooperlola Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Ooh, I hate "ladies" - I'm a woman, thanks very much! So you see, Ernie, you can't please all of us all the time..The trick is to be subtle. We all know that you all want the same thing, but there's no need to be obvious about it!

LEO Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I have never thought of totty in a derogatory sense.Totty, Talent, Crumpet ,has always been used to describe the attractiveness of a gathering of females , particularly at a dance.Naughty perhaps but not offensive.

Russethouse Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Isn't it rather a juvenile expression, it may be OK for groups of women in their teens and twenties, but IMHO it lacks sophistication and probably doesn't imply that the OP is looking for a friendship or genuine relationship, it gives the impression of something much more 'shallow'On the other hand maybe I'm just being middle aged about it.[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I can't believe some of what I'm seeing here and yes RH, you are being very middle aged To reprise the OP's post:[:D] wheres the totty ![quote user="euro"] now that i am single i am becoming a little disapointed with the lack of attractive members of the opposite sex - in my case female.where are they all ?i live in SW near Villenueve 47 surrounded by old boys driving even older tractors or auld wifies in aprons dragging shopping baskets full of stuff around - so where are all the 30 ish somethings hiding ??????presumably France has single people or seperated / divorced people just like the UK but where ?ideas please or real life experiences even better - preferably localthanksEuro[/quote]I fail to see anything shallow or disrespectful about it at all. The content is a sincere request from someone looking for a bit of female company and the obviously jocular title is qualified by a smiley despite which some have latched onto it as a platform for a lesson in political correctness.It's little wonder that books like Men are from Mars - Women are from Venus exist [:-))][:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 It's merely the title of the post, Ernie. You have to be from Venus to get it. But our point is that this may be why our o/p is having trouble tracking any down!I guess what I mean is that if I were a woman looking for male companionship as opposed to a quick s**g, I would not be contacting him in a hurry!

Clair Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 "totty" = "eye candy" or "easy on the eye"It refers solely to physical appearance. It is shallow [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Women don't like terms like totty, talent, crumpet, etc because it makes us sound like merchandise. Eye candy too. Would you men like to be called horseflesh? Beefcake is another one. I suppose you would be flattered [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that there is no history of men having to fight for equality, the vote etc. Such terms just push all the wrong 'buttons' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
