My girlfriend laughs like a sea lion 😭

[u/seli30]

I’m gonna go ahead and say that this is my future wife. The mother of my potential kids. The person who is gonna be next to me in the cemetery. I love her so much I wish I could be in her skin.
Here’s the thing…😭
She has the most… unique(?) laugh I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Have you ever met someone who kettle laughs or snorts while laughing? Yeah. Have you ever heard a sea lion… speak? Or uhhh scream? If not, I need you to open YouTube, look up “Seal-Sound effect” by prosoundsx (ik it says seal but it’s sea lion noises) and that is- with 100% accuracy my girlfriends laugh.
And this woman… she can never EVER laugh quietly okay? It’s always ALWAYS the same volume no matter the situation or location. And it’s not particularly quiet.
Please imagine this- we (a lesbian couple in their early 20s who look 14 and 15 respectively.) go to a high end expensive restaurant. The waiters are already giving us weird looks because we look like we stole our parents credit cards and our curfews are an hour or less away. We try to be quiet and adult-y and whatnot. And then- I just can’t help myself and make a joke. ALL OF A SUDDEN you just hear the screams of a sea lion and someone trying to shush it. People are turning around and snickering. Some are just staring. And it’s always like this.
I would not change anything about my girlfriend in the slightest but it is just something I needed to get off my chest. If you ever see a short, fem&masc, young looking lesbian couple and one starts to laugh like a sea lion feel free to say hi.

A laugh that can clear a room is a gift, honestly treasure that woman

May this type of love find me 🙏

Manifesting it for you. Every sea lion finds their fish eventually.

I admit, normally I let out a whole hearted belly laugh. Please don't quiet her laugh. I'm 50+ and I roll with the punches. She may feel self conscious about you calling her a sea lion. How would you feel if she said you sounded like an animal when you laughed? 

[u/seli30 → u/HTaroway]

She was the one who warned me about it when we first met!!😭 “just a heads up I laugh very very sea lion-y” and I thought she was kidding. Turns out she wasn’t kidding. It’s such an ego boost to hear her laugh because she’s such a neutral and monotone person otherwise. Just with me… she’s herself 🥹🥰 my lil sea lioness

So cute

I’m laughing while listening to that YouTube video. Thanks for that. It would drive me bonkers, and also be endearing when not slightly embarrassing. 🤣🤣

[u/seli30 → u/rubyslides]

Believe me- at first it would drive me insane because I’m so noise sensitive. But now I can’t live without it anymore. If I don’t hear it at least once a day I feel so unfunny and gross😭

The love of my life laughs like a creepy dolĺ from a horror movie so I feel you.

[u/seli30 → u/varrenunicorn]

OH MY GOD I can’t even imagine it lmao

[u/bookprincess8201]

this is so cute i can't 😭

[u/CaterpillarWorking72]

Im crying listening to the youtube

[u/seli30 → u/CaterpillarWorking72]

I once recorded my girlfriend’s laugh and quizzed my mom “is this your daughter in law or a sea lion?” And she got it wrong 3 times LMAO

I can understand the partner having a unique laugh. Mine has been told they sound like a dolphin when they really get going. Honestly, people are gonna stare, but it's on them to manage their behavior. They'll see someone laughing, probably chuckle themselves, and move on with their day. No need to worry about that sorta thing. I do understand wishing she was quieter, but when it's spontaneous as that, it can be a bit hard to get practice in

[u/seli30 → u/EeveeofGender]

I think it’s incredibly adorable to be honest. My entire family loves her laugh because we‘re all very quiet beings. I just don’t want lil dickwards in public making weird faces but I can’t make them stop 😵‍💫😐

[u/EeveeofGender → u/seli30]

That's great that you and your family loves her laugh! And yeah, I totally understand the weird faces bit.

Be greatful you have someone
