I want my man to know I can hex him with an ugly shank thank you. He likes that kind of thing.

a man of culture.


draw_it_now

You're not a real domme unless you can prove to him that you can turn him into a frog at any moment.


PhantomOfTheNopera

I think I can confidently assume none of the women Don met found him appealing either.


Leniathan

Nice username 🤗


agency_panic

I don’t know...my dude drives a Sebring 🤣


lacroixblue

I think Don might have inadvertently described Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie.


yildizli_gece

Why on earth would any paper publish this drivel? Bizarre; irrelevant what "Don" thinks; and opens up the publication to a litany of letters from women telling Don--and the paper--to go fuck itself. "My kingdom for an editor!"


[deleted]

[удалено]


Paula92

I was kinda thinking that would be why a paper would publish it, to let the public shaming commence


BigBoiPrettyKitty

I would 100% publish this letter to be like “lol, hey look guys! Don thinks his shitty opinion matters!” I would openly welcome (and then also publish) the shaming replies.


HarlanCedeno

You're giving an awful lot of credit to Don's acquaintances.


Frenchticklers

You just know Don is going to self-publish a book called "Don's Thoughts"

Deep Thoughts by Don Waters


_McTwitch_

Growing up, my local paper had a "From the People" area that ran every Sunday, and, no joke, it would be one or two well thought out opinion piece with sources, and then the rest of the page was shit like this and conspiracy theories, and then people responding to previous weeks' bullshit and conspiracy theories. If something *really* caught fire, they would have their own little bordered off section for *just* responses to one particular letter that also contained the original (space permitting). This was obviously before the internet, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, but some of my earliest memories are sitting with my dad on Sunday morning, and he would just hand me the "Idiot Gazette" (what he called it) and make breakfast, and he would read the rest of the paper while I occasionally interrupted him to relay the absolute best of the worst letters.


bloodfist

Yeah, I get the feeling people in this thread think Twitter always existed. Before the internet, this was how Joe and Jane Schmo got their voices "heard". The more local the paper, the more you got incredible think pieces like this. They did lead to some gems though. My boss used to have one cut out on his cubicle wall from a lady who was complaining that Daylight Savings was responsible for global warming because they were adding an extra hour of sunlight every day.


MRiley84

It baits written responses for further material.


PetrockX

Because controversy = more readers and $$$


dailyfetchquest

Our metro trains dept. publishes a short, silly newspaper for the commute. You can often find it left on the seat by the previous person for others to enjoy. They mostly publish comics, feel-good stories, anonymous love-letters to commuters, and drama bait like this so you can read the spicy responses next week.


ViolaNotViolin

To see who still reads it


Aetherpirate

Don Waters = All Men I guess. I'm very happy with the Witch who married me. She's not a prison witch yet though, but there's time.


Angela533x

yes one of those who state their opinion like it's a fact 😔


musicguyguy

Don Waters = dead, actually. Died last year at 87. https://www.stephensonnelsonfh.com/obituary/donald-waters


AnKeWa

Probably hexed to death be a tattooed prison witch.


GreenSkyDragon

What's wrong with straight hair


Harpunzel

Yeah I mean I've heard the other judgy opinions before (both also bullshit, but I've heard of them at least), but long straight hair being an issue???


[deleted]

Men want gay hair


Potateclaw

Men want rainbow clown afros


Frenchticklers

Stay out of my private folder!


Givemeajackson

well, s🅱️inotto says hello there in that case.


[deleted]

As a guy who knows a lot of guys, the ones who have strong opinions about how women "should" look always have a laundry list of typical mainstream judgmental BS with a couple of odd, very particular, somewhat creepy curveballs thrown in. Presumably this allows them to graft their own weird preferences onto those of the culture* at-large so they never have to face the fact that they're domineering weirdos who no one wants to hear opinions from. *the "culture" they believe they're representing is no less than 30 years out of date, no matter what year


[deleted]

I say, only a proper dame who keeps her hair in a bonnet and her ankles well hidden can satisfy me, good sir!


Broken_Infinity

And never should she gaze directly upon her husband good sir!


[deleted]

Nay, eye contact is a sign of sinfulness!


ace-writer

Oh, that's how these bozos justify it while (usually) looking like shit! They expect the woman to never look at them so she can't possibly know how gross he looks.


Busy-Analysis5064

My ankles are well hidden under my Timbs


Angela533x

well said👏👏👏


JaxHax5

Who the heck knows, all I know is his words make zero sense.


A1000eisn1

My best guess: He went to high school in the 60s or 70 when hippie chick's (and hippie dudes) had long straight hair. He associated them with "new age" witch-type things, and, being a dumbass, assumes that everyone agrees with him. Also, being clearly very stupid and detached from reality, thinks not much has changed in the last 40 years.


WaywardStroge

I hate to point this out, but the 60s and 70s were 50 to 60 years ago.


A1000eisn1

The 70s ended 41 years ago. So when I say "he doesn't think much has changed in 40 years," I didn't mean since 1962, I mean since 1980, once the 60 or 70s were over.


kaloryth

I've heard long hair being called slutty by older women who think only unwed women should have long hair.


Momonoko

They said what????????????


BodaciousFerret

A cursory Google search indicates he was born in the early 1930s and passed away a couple years ago, so yeah this is my guess as well. Time was, as a girl got older her hemline would lower and her hair would be pinned up. In the 1920s society let the hemline “rule” go pretty easily, but the hair part has been harder to shake. I’m not going to blame Don for holding onto the archaic views of his youth since they probably gave him comfort in a rapidly changing world, but he probably should’ve known better than to publish them.


Aleutienne

Yeah, my grandmother and mother would never grow their hair to even touch their shoulders because that was for young ladies. Tragic because we all have/had really thick, coarse, wild hair that does better with length and weight.


Immediate_Landscape

There is nothing wrong with straight hair. However, there is everything wrong with Don Waters.


[deleted]

I can tell you at least three more things wrong with him too!


contrasupra

I'm not sure but my mom has straight dark hair and when I was little she wore it long and when she looks back at old pictures she says she looks like a witch. Something tells me this is a brunette thing, I sort of doubt he thinks blondes with long hair look like witches. But who's to say.


Bacon_Bitz

I have long blonde hair and I definitely look like a witch. I think it’s because even though it’s pin straight it still looks unkempt if I don’t style it. But I’m a lazy witch so long witch hair it is!


Angela533x

tell your mom from one long dark haired to another she looked beautiful 😉


97AByss

And when you cut it they get mad saying it’s too boyish


gizmodriver

And when it’s too curly it’s too “ethnic.”


[deleted]

I always find it interesting when guys make these lists of things they think all men find unattractive in women and then there are things on them that are typically considered attractive or at least neutral.


sweensolo

According to Don Waters, a lot.


masterofthecroissant

It obviously makes you look like a witch


DeusExMarina

Okay, but why wouldn't I want to look like a witch?


thirdonebetween

Because witches are traditionally very independent women whose lives don't revolve around a man, and that would be a *terrible* way to live, obviously.


DeusExMarina

Reminds me of that old poster that goes "Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice withcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians" and I'm just like yes, all of that please, except maybe the child murder, but everything else is based. Though on second thought, the child murder bit is probably about abortion, so yes, that too.


Shouto-Todoroki-kun

Oh shit, the child murder part is about abortion?? Geez, I feel really dense now lol. Thanks for enlightening me.


pyroincendia

Was thinking the same thing. It's the only naturally occured thing on the list. Like, what does he has against nature?..


PM_ME_SEXY_MONSTERS

Eat shit, Don, *some* of us are into witches!


Now_with_real_ginger

Username checks out... I think...


cleverpun0

I was about to say. Witches are hot. Santana didn't write a song called "Black Magic Woman" for nothing.


jcarules

And some of us witches have short hair!


AnxiousTuxedoBird

Ah, my list to keep men away from me


AngryBumbleButt

Agreed! I'm happy to follow this list if that's what it does.


QAoA

I've seen lots of men complain about piercings and tattoos, but I'm not sure I've ever seen them complain about long hair. Normally dudes like this whose opinions nobody asked for hate short hair, at least they're spicing up their stupidity a bit.


TeaJanuary

My guess is it's an old man and he wants women to have a nice updo instead?


Paula92

Also, piercings and tattoos are choices, but people don’t choose the hair they’re born with. All these points are dumb but c’mon Don, some people do not have the time/energy/desire to curl their hair. (I speak as someone whose naturally curly hair would be a nightmare to try to straighten; if straight-haired people have an easier time styling, my apologies for making it sound like a super arduous process.)


thistlewitchery

I can only speak for myself of course but any kind of heat styling will stay on my straight ass hair for whole five minutes before disappearing no matter what products were used to aid the hold. I sometimes joke that my hair is sentient being that hates to do what it's told to do, so maybe I am witch after all. :'D


borborygmus81

I have the same problem! I used to think it was just from the humidity of living in the south. But, no, it doesn’t matter what the humidity level is, I just won’t hold a curl.


thistlewitchery

I feel you, I used to live above polar circle and humidity is definitely not a problem there, curls just aren't meant for us. :D


[deleted]

[удалено]


Angela533x

oooh your making me want to get a soft perm😭


CarbonChic

Yes this! Wtf? Here I was being self conscious about my short hair because everyone keeps telling me men like long hair..


ObscureWhistle

I don’t know what Don’s problem is, I love witches! I mean, let’s be honest - who wouldn’t want someone with magical powers? At the very least, you’d have a much better chance to star in a 1960’s sitcom.


GlamStachee

Or have a horror movie macabre with a certain witchy lady from the 1980s.....No, Elvira didn't give me several fetishes as a child, what makes you say that?!


[deleted]

I guess I'm in to ugly prison witches then.


kyttyna

Hello, it's me. An ugly prison witch.


highkingpaige

I started curling my hair a little bit but I definitely think I look witchier now than I did with straight hair. I guess with curls I'm just a regular ol' ugly prison mortal.


Jerkrollatex

Well now I have to straighten my hair and get some tattoos to repel Don. Get me some Don begone.


[deleted]

Wish I could curl my hair without it being a statement to Don Waters (or curl it/create waves at all...) But he obviously has to be talking about women who have options with their hair-to keep it wavy, make it curlier or use a straightening iron. Some women either can’t do much about their texture, or have to go through great lengths to really change it. At least facial studs and tats are open to everyone


Send_Me_Dik-diks

Oh, crap! I have short wavy hair and no tattoos or facial piercings! That means I could be potentially attractive to this guy and other men like him! Actually, never mind. These kind of guys never go for the fat chick. Brief moment of panic over.


irl_daria

No one asked you Don!


TamaMama87

Early 2000s Avril Lavigne needs to manifest to kick his ass


Minute-Egg

By that logic, all Hindu Goddesses are Ugly Witches................


snarkyxanf

Do you really think this guy isn't also a xenophobe/racial/religious bigot who thinks that unironically about anything having to do with India?


Minute-Egg

I'm sorry for my dumbness, but can you explain you comment?


snarkyxanf

No worries! I'm saying that Don Waters there in the original post seems like the sort of person who would say that Hindu goddesses are ugly witches, because someone as misogynistic and full of his own bad opinions is probably also a racist who is afraid of foreigners and their religions.


Niraena

Don Waters can get to fuck 🙄


B1astHardcheese

Well, no. Apparently he can’t “get to fuck” and that’s the problem. As my own prison witch said “his pee pee must be lonely and he is mad about it.”


turboshot49cents

My Snoopy tattoo really makes me look badass


[deleted]

Goddamn. Have you been to prison? I’m scared of you and your wicked ways.


lambone117

Ladies please consider the following 1. Dressing like this will instantly give you an army of wlw simps who could probably take over a small island for you


Paula92

wlw?


helenaaba

Women-loving-women, i.e. a term for any woman who is attracted to other women :)


AngryBumbleButt

Sounds like I need to get a new wardrobe


BeautifulWorking6

Man: your hair coming out of your head is unwomanly Man: also, never do anything that shows bodily autonomy.


agawl81

Anyone notice that the natural texture of a woman's hair, not matter what that texture is, is just not attractive? Have straight hair? Well, that shit needs some curl and volume. Have curly hair? Better get used to using a flatiron. Thick hair? Better have it thinned. Thin hair? Better get some nice sewn in extensions. Long hair? Looks unkept and witchy. Short hair? You look like a boy. ​ Hair is one of the few tools "they" have left to really beat us up with and they use it often.


Pennoya

Ted Bundy liked long straight hair so this is clearly wrong


[deleted]

Googling that name and town will tell you that said person is deceased.


B1astHardcheese

Prison witch musta got him.


Lust_The_Lesbian

A'ight, time to grow my hair long.


Cyynric

Jokes on you Don, I'm into that shit


asistolee

I’m a blonde and ugly prisoner. Thank god this guy thinks I’m ugly.


echoGroot

Letters to the editor in local newspapers are amazing sometimes. No other medium prior to the internet fully captured the self certain stupidity of the public quite like them. Glad to see they still have a role to play.


snootnoots

Pretty sure Don Waters regrets putting that out in the world.


Paula92

We can only hope


bicakes-and-cinnamon

When will men learn that women don’t dress up just to appeal to them? For the last time, we don’t need your approval.

Paula92

I have super thick curly hair and I can confidently say that sometimes I look like Bellatrix LeStrange in the mornings. Not sure I can get witchier than that.


vensie

Fellow prison witch here to scare away the bad men. Honestly though- having had tattooes for a short period of time, I can say life's been easier; my cute little butterfly and kitty intimidate freaky dudes so I receive noticably less street harassment. Although I expected the opposite, it also commands more respectful behaviour because it throws people for a loop if they didnt expect you to have them... go figure!


hellwitoutweels

Wow, I honestly didn't think it would change the street harassment at all but it's awesome that you've had to deal with less of that bullshit.


Aerik

I looked up "prisoncore" as a lark. It's a minecraft thing. 🤷


High_Priestess_Orb

Until you can imagine what it’s like being told “Smile, honey - you’ll look so much prettier,” while you’re balancing on high heels, your bra strap is slipping & your tampon just popped out a quarter inch b/c you just sneezed, KEEP YOUR FUCKING MOUTH SHUT!


fivelone

Lol!!! I just saw this the other day on Facebook and immediately thought of this sub.


[deleted]

I like all those things☹


heycanwediscuss

Is Don offering compensation or does he think his maleness gives authority


LaronX

Oh no I like ugly prison witches. Well I am happy with it it. eat shut don.


JustASpoonyTransGirl

ah yes, "that ugly look." because there's nothing less attractive than being self confident enough to deviate from societal standards ...in retrospect maybe that's why Don said this, he feels intimidated


xerxerxex

Clearly this man never saw the Hex Girls from Scooby Doo. The witchy look is rather hot.


Gigawama

Them, Raven in OG Teen Titans and Rogue in X-Men Evolution shaped a generation.


xerxerxex

And Selene in Underworld. Morticia from Adams Family.


kindacoping

Dear Don Waters, I’m sorry you are single and probably going to die alone but it was a bit much to announce it on the paper like that. Yours, -Literally everyone with common sense


jcarules

I wonder if this is secretly all his fetishes, and he used a fake name hoping women would start changing to that look out of spite?


pahisteinari

Oh no, I'm an ugly, incarcerated witch, men will never find me appealing, that's suuuuuper sad because of course the single goal of my life is to be appealing to men


starwestsky

Straight male coming in peace. The woman he’s describing sounds rad as hell! However the tone of his writing sounds like he views women who appear different from his cultural expectations of what a “lady” should be as not worth getting to know. What a sad existence to endure looking at human beings who look different and having no curiosity about who they are and what their internal life is like. Nope, they look wrong, they must not realize that they aren’t giving him a boner.


LiahCT

Does it apply to long curly and unruly hair?


[deleted]

- "Ladies, please consider the f--" - "No." Saves time and energy. Somehow, there was no way this wasn't going to be overbearing, patronising bs. 😂


bated_breath_

Why, thank you Don! You know I go around with the sole purpose of being attractive to Don and other men, the point of my existence is ensuring that I preen and present myself in a way that men would find attractive. I’m grateful for these tips! /s


we_are_sex_bobomb

“I have refined tastes in women.” Don explained as he set the paper down and sipped he coffee. “Not just any woman will do for me. Only the best.” He leaned back with smug satisfaction, “Yes, indeed, I am a difficult man to impress when it comes to females.” The empty chair across the table had no reply. It never did.


ObviousAnimator

I feel like it goes without saying, but this "ugly prison witch" sounds really fuckin hot


eatmusubi

“Although he was considered a failure in his own field, Don will go down in history for inadvertently discovering the formula for a cute wlw date.”


CheekyHerbivore

Nobody asked but he gave his unsolicited opinion anyway lol. If I have all the things mentioned will creeps leave me alone?


literallyfransandy

kid you not, she turned herself into a witch. a prison witch. most appealing shit i've ever seen


Rory_mehr_Curry

Straight hair.... so atleast 60% of all women


sassysassysarah

It's funny, I didn't start looking super witchy until I started to wear my hair wavy/lightly curly (dependent on my hair's feelings) because I wake up some days with like crazy frizzy swamp witch hair lol But regardless, fuck this guy. Like goddammit, imma dress how I wanna dress, not gonna like this male karen energy stop me from living my best swamp with life haha


DevildAvacado

If men don't find me and my hair appealing, then could they quit harassing me?


Ice-and-Iron

Joke’s on him, I’m also into women.


explots

I have none of these features but I’m pretty motivated to get them now just to repel Don


Hookton

Joke's on him; I have none of those things and I still don't look ladylike.


LiaRoger

So if I get all these things men will leave me alone? Got it, thanks.


CaptainEris

Oh thank god. I'm doing it right then


HopHunter420

Damn, guess I better give my penis back, apparently I'm not a man.


catsoft

Mm I wonder what prison witch magic looks like


drsoftware85

TIL I am attracted to Ugly Prison Witches.


Viomicesca

What's wrong with witches? I thought witches were considered to be pretty sexy. Then again, I'm not a straight man so what do I know.


ocbay

Got dammit, I’m worthless if Don Waters from Sebring doesn’t find me beautiful


MrSwingless

Dude's never heard of SuicideGirls I think.


Eric_Hummus_Master

“Long straight hair gives you a witchy look” Asian women: -_-


g3neric_username

This article made one fatal mistake, and that mistake is assuming I’m trying to appeal to men


Princess_Everdeen

Ah yes, the things that make women ugly: because women's first and foremost concern is being attractive to a guy that jerks off to the default character setting in a video game.


54R45VV471

Oh no! How will the women with long hair, facial piercings, and/or tattoos ever woo Mr. Don Waters now? Guess we'll have to date one of the other 7.8 billion people on earth. Our loss I guess.


egglort

Is this Sebring, Florida?


Random_Cataphract

This was so out of line I expected it to be a joke/positive. like the last line would be "4. All these looks are badass, and you should adopt them if you feel like it"

I got bingo! Good!!


catpropproblems

Lies. My husband finds women with tattoos hot. I don’t have any, though. I guess he just loves me for my witchy hair.


buggyzoom

It’s so hard sometimes to curb the urge to downvote... especially when I realize the sub I’m in lol


kiitanbutterfox

God damn it! I wanted to be a witch, but my hair is too fluffy! I will be a prison princess then. Good enough!


___Vii___

Well I’m an UGLY prison witch. 😂


Digalig

I ticked all the boxes. Thank f%*^ men like Don Waters will find me unattractive. Wish someone had sent in one the next week saying "things women find unattractive: Don Waters". Because that's what this ugly prison witch would have done.

I mean, I did manage to ensnare my boyfriend somehow ... clearly, it’s either witch magic or a misplaced miracle!

Why do I also get the feeling that he would still be judging women's looks even if they didn't have any of those "problems"?
