Ore or Boku, guys?

I was wondering. If/when the men of Fakku learn to use Japanese well enough to carry a conversation, will you refer to yourselves as Ore or Boku?

Casual and friends talks maybe I'll call myself "Ore".
But I'll use watashi as often as possible.

in all honesty im not willing to vote, im not quite sure of the differentials between them all. i know watashi is i, so is ore and boku terms of self recognition in first person? i dont want to say endearment because that would be horribly self concious wouldnt it lol but you use it when the ones your talking to are familiar with you, correct?

It is considered quite rude for a girl to use 'ore' or 'boku'...
Maybe there are exception...
But they usually use 'atashi'...

Boku is, as far as I know, are meant to be the masculine form, while Ore is the feminine form. Also, it's not wrong to use ore if you're a guy, or boku if you're a girl, but people who understands might see you in a different light :wink:
Try reading book 9 of Suzumiya Haruhi light novel, on the author's note area, they should have a note over there regarding this topic.

Ore is the "I'm the macho blonde guy with guns and rippling muscles" way to refer to oneself.
Boku is the "I'm the laid back guy facepalming your antics in the back of the room" way to refer to oneself.
Basically, Ore is a bit rude, and more masculine then boku. Both are usually used by men, though boku is sometimes used by girls with a tomboyish personality.

Hahahahah. You guys amuse me.
Personally, I use 'ore', which is more suited to teenage or older males with... attitude? like me when we talk to people we know. Use 'ore' in an office situation, and you might get the wrong end of the boot for lack of respect. Oh, and if a girl uses 'ore', she's lesbian or a shemale, pretty much. 'Ore' is very masculine (and a little derogatory), as was mentioned previously in the thread, so girls pretty much shouldn't use it at all. It's just like a guy using 'atashi' (which should be reserved only for young girls who think they're cute). Although, interestingly, 'ore' used to be women-exclusive, wayyy back then.
'Boku' is already reasonably polite, and is what I tend to use with people I don't know but feel no need to show them too much respect (eg. classmates). 'Boku' can be used by girls, but it does have a masculine air to it.
If I want to show respect, however (in an office situation, friend's parents, or to someone older than me I don't know), I use 'watashi'. I rarely do so though.
There are a plethora of other ways to refer to oneself, but I won't talk about it here. If I can give you a tip, don't learn from anime/manga, lest you want to start talking like an old man or something. Some of you look extremely confused as to which method of referring to oneself you should be using.

Waitaminute...whats wrong with talking like an old man, Sensei?
Anime and manga generally use the four common I's, Ore, Boku, Watashi and Atashi, but it is as obvious to those who don't know japanese that there are more ways to say I as to those who don't know english that we can use more then Me, Myself, and I.
Mentioning that you would use Watashi in a polite atmosphere is a little strange. Is it not a given in any language to use polite speech in polite company?
I was referring to amongst peers. Friends. Fakkuza.
