    Ok so what is the difference between Haha and Hehe. Kinda silly questions I know, but just trying to have a little fun.

    So is Hehe more gay? Just sounds a little lighter, more sensitive.

    Haha sounds a little more manly. I know, not manly guy around here.

    So what do you think?

    I think haha is used as a less sarcastic or schadenfreude-ish form of hehe. I personally refuse to use either, or lol. I judge everyone who uses lol.

    The uses of either Haha or Hehe vary.

    'Hehe' can be used as a sinister chuckle (Hehe :grin: ) as well as an "innocent" giggle (Hehe :icon_redf ).
    'Haha' can be used as a forced laugh (Haha :lol: ) as well as sarcastically (Ha Ha :dry: ).

    It could be severity dependant, too. Where 'Hehe' is used for something slightly funny, and 'Haha' is used for something overly funny.

    I guess it depends on the person using them, and also the circumstances in which they are used. :eusa_eh:

    Yeah it really depends from person to person.

    'Haha' sounds more genuine :slight_smile:

    For me, 'hehe' is more of chuckle, while 'haha' is a laugh. But in the same sense that 'lol' is a laugh, meaning a necessary and convenient means of expressing humour in textual media.

    Sarcasm can be used in either, and really depends on the context and person.

    I think a lot of people consider them to be similar but to me haha is more of a really strong laugh that's from something really funny whereas hehe is just a small giggle or chuckle.

    this.

    I only really alternate between lol and haha to add variety so I'm not putting lol at the end of every message. That's also why I have this face =P For some reason I think of hehe as cuter and would take as a stronger sign of flirting than haha, but I believe that's just grossly over thinking. I think most of the time they are interchangeable and the only reason we seem all of the is because variety is the spice of life.

    I use "haha." "Hehe" is like when your little cousin pokes you in the side and runs away giggling. "Heheh" is a different deal though. It's pronounced with the short e sound, and it sounds more like a short chuckle that you precede or end a sentence with.

    I'm putting way too much thought into this...
