Mean vs nice
Someone recently brought this up, as a kink: "I like when people are mean to me in a nice way." At first I thought it sounded ridiculous, but then I realized they meant things like playful teasing, sarcastic compliments, fake annoyance, and roasting each other without any actual malice. (Think Enemies2Lovers…my book girlies will get it)
However there is the flip side of this: "I like when people are nice to me in a mean way." Like someone who's blunt, grumpy, or acts annoyed, but quietly goes out of their way to take care of you. (Think Grumpy/Sunshine…my book girlies will get it)
Do you have one that you prefer?
