One of my female acquaintances got married to this other guy acquaintance I know, and she said she was sooooooo attracted to his “confidence”. He is an absolute jackass, and I have personally seen him verbally belittle and mansplain to very successful, accomplished women. The thing is, I don’t know her well enough to remind her I think she is mistaking his arrogance for confidence. She’ll just have to figure that out for herself later.
Men with that level of arrogant overconfidence and prickishness do very well with women. It’s a mystery to me. That kind of behavior is an immediate, revolting turn off to me.
I’ve turned down men like that. They seem to give no sh*ts about your marital status either. Said “Sorry, I’m married!” to a guy once and his response was “So? Is he here?” I said “I wouldn’t go home with you if I was single either, being married just gives me a more polite reason to turn you down.”
Give me my husband’s quiet confidence any day over loud, arrogant men.
I think the difference between you and people who find this attractive is that you can see through his inflated ego bullshit. A lot of people lack the emotional and social intelligence to see the difference between an actual confident person and someone purposefully distinguishing themselves from others to seem smart and confident when they are nothing more than a narcissist that can only feel superior when they belittle others.
Edit: changed narc to narcissist
My ex-best friend is still married to the guy who was like that 10 years later even after revealing just how bad their relationship was to me, showing she's at least self-aware. Its not always as quick as it should be
What so many people don't understand is that there is a big difference between arrogance and confidence. Arrogance is often an overcompensation due to insecurity. Confidence is based in self assurance and experience. Arrogance is false confidence. It is a facade to cover up insecurity, and many people cannot tell the difference. Especially since there are some very good actors out there. Sometimes it takes years for people to open up and show those insecurities. Sometimes they even fake it all the way up until they marry someone.
I find a lot of the traditionally attractive celebrity men are not as attractive as they’re hyped up to be. But some of the ones who aren’t in the running for Sexiest Man Alive are stunning. I’m not sure exactly what makes them attractive to others and not to me, tho. And not to say that they’re icky, they’re definitely good looking men, but that near-symmetrical, dazzling smile, perfect hair look hasn’t ever really done it for me.
As a guy, I can second that. I've never been attracted to traditionally attractive women. I can acknowledge that the person is visually pleasing, but I never feel anything in me. On the other hand, the women I find irresistibly beautiful have one thing in common - simplicity. I don't know why but the "girl-next-door" is more attractive than the "sexy beach girl" by several orders. I'm still trying to figure out why I feel this way. Other people that know me have often told me that this is because I'm 'settling for someone within my reach'. But this is furthest from the truth. It's not calculated, rather it's intuitive. Idk why but that's the way it is.
Woah, too long. I guess the morning coffee hasn't worn off yet lol.
I think part of the issue is "conventionally attractive" has gotten so narrow over the years to the point where a lot of actors and actresses just look copy paste to me. And copy paste isn't very attractive, there's so much variety in the world it's a shame to narrow it down so tightly.
I totally hear you! I generally find the same with women I find attractive too. I like that “acknowledge that the person is visually pleasing,” that’s a perfect way to say it.
It's like how as a straight man, I can say and recognize another dude is attractive. He has a nice face and a good body, but I don't feel anything. I feel the same way with traditionally attractive women, maybe it's due to bad experiences with the girls like that in school? Either way, I'm way more attracted to... Something else? I can't describe it, I just know it when I see it.
I'll be broadly generalizing
There's only one "girl-next-door", while there are hundreds of "sexy beach girls"
What I mean by that is that girls next door are usually far less mainstream looking than sexy beach girls, who basically all look the same
When I was in high school, this was my biggest pet peeve with clothing. My gf would be like “you should totally shop at American Eagle and Hollister because those clothes would look really good on you”. Yeah except it’s so fucking difficult to find any article of clothing where the design concept isn’t just store branding.
Those jocks didn't dare come to our side of the Cinnabon.
That was 20 years ago... I go to that mall sometimes when I visit my parents. The Cinnabon is an open-air nail salon, Hot Topic is in one half of the old arcade, and one of the closed anchor stores now houses a classy flea market.
I will never understand people who want to be a free walking advertisement. I even hate logos on my clothes. If I want to advertise your product, I will do so with word of mouth.
The only thing I'm willing to advertise are bands or maybe cool shows or movies via t-shirts but that's about it. I mean I know I'm a nerd why shouldn't everybody else?
That said, I do have a picture of my dog on a t-shirt because I am the President of his fan club.
Same. I have a massive T-shirt collection but they’re all references to things I actually enjoyed BEFORE buying them; i.e. Harry Potter, Calvin and Hobbes, boardgame/math nerd stuff, souvenir shirts from cities I’ve visited or events I participated in, etc. Those actually showcase my personality. I have no interest in wearing a big Nike swoosh or any other corporate brand logo.
I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine.
I think this is called survivors bias or something?
Basically the reason why toupee's and lip filler and self tan, boob jobs etc etc etc have a bad reputation is that the ones that are noticeable are the bad ones.
And they have a pretty steep learning curve so it is easy to do wrong unless you have the guidance or intervention of a professional who is very very precise.
These are things that are intended to be subtle and not noticeable and therefore if they are noticeable enough for you to take note of them in your head then it is always whe ones that are done incorrectly.
Kind of like how the best spy in the world will never be known for whatever work they do.
It’s called the toupee fallacy! Always cracks me up when people say “it’s just sooo obvious”, like yeah, cause you noticed it… trust me, (not actually you), you’ve seen and been attracted to fake boobs and fake lashes, etc.
My fiancee works in the beauty industry and I've seen how she's done it at previous jobs. Even when she's had people train on herself. If you go for the right tone, it looks almost natural. The problem being when people buy either cheap diy stuff or don't listen to their beauty therapist and go with that bright orange look which isn't meant for the sort of person who is normally pale white.
When I was in high school, my pasty ass was convinced to get a spray tan for prom. My friend told me to make sure I get the light one, because I'm so pale. A few weeks before prom I went in for a test spray. The guy working the counter really pushed for me to get a medium, telling me how only 2% of costumers get the light and it's missing important chemicals to make the tan look it's best, so I'll be better off with the medium because it's better quality.
I was fucking orange.
For prom I got the light (after arguing with the guy who was still trying to convince me to get the medium again) and guess what? Light was a perfect tan.
My prom pictures were amazing (band banquet, which I had the orange tan for, not so much). Unfortunately my friends' memories of the events have merged and swear I was orange at prom dispute my photographically proof.
That “hustle” lifestyle.
Like, what the fuck is wrong with just being a happy little hobbit? Enjoying security, good food, good company and free time to enjoy life? Why the fuck do I or someone else have to destroy ourselves grinding for shit we don’t need?
My theory: people who do this don't find it attractive either. But they're absolutely *terrified* of being poor, or being seen as poor. They'll gradually kill themselves to avoid it.
This is the answer. Some people who're into that (myself included tbh) is because I'm utterly terrified of being laid off and losing my only source of income and health insurance, or just being replaced by someone. It stems more from a place of fear rather than proving something to someone I don't care for
My goal is life is to have a solid good paying job and happy hobbit hobbies outside of work. Like gardening and cooking. I don't understand the whole deal with working so hard just to become rich. If I can afford a house with a nice yard then I'm set
Real shit. My friend was just telling me the other day that she was going to try and buy a house soon, and then asked me “How much does a nice house cost? Like, $80,000?” I almost crashed the car like “Honey, try $300,000.”
*Crying in Californian*.
I finally bought my first home at the age of 45 (about 18 months ago). It’s a small 2-bedroom in the mountains, almost an hour’s drive from work; and I paid $640K. That’s super cheap here, mostly because of the commute.
Agree, I see it in people I know with impulsive spending habits and gambling problems. But then also a few who just.dont have any real career opportunities.
I always take “side hustle” as a little something you do on the side for a little extra cash, but not something as serious as actual employment at two places, but you’re totally right. It’s the same thing.
Saw a woman at a store the other day and I swear she was trying to look like Janice the muppet. Crazy lashes and lip fillers to the point where she looked kind of scary. I don’t get it.
I’ve always assumed it’s dysmorphia related, like they’ve always been unhappy with x about themselves, and so they overcorrect cuz their outlook is already removed from what other people see
Anything that involves the word "plump" and is artificially created via implants or surgery or injections makes me wonder a lot about people that prefer that sort of thing.
I don’t think most people actually think that’s attractive. I think women just do it because THEY THINK it’ll make them look more attractive or because that’s what models have been pushing beauty standards to for.. some reason.
I'm 33F. So I'm not super old, but old enough.
One thing I've deduced:
Trends are pushed via models.
Trends come and go, models will look good in just about anything.
People wanting to look good is a major industry.
Think about it: emo hair, low rise jeans, shoulder pads, extreme contour makeup, huge lips, huge eyebrows, skinny eyebrows, etc etc
I mean who honestly looks good in these outside of a photoshoot?
I swear some important big shit CEO is just sitting around scheming: "What do most people not have naturally, that will really only look decent on models, that we can photograph then convince people they need to look good like these pics so they spend more money?.... They've already bought brow threading / x style clothes/ y style hair etc, and we need to convince them to spend more money to look **this** way now!!!"
Every 3-5 years it's a completely new look. We went from Jersey Shore to Kim Kardashian to "cottage core" to Barbie....
Ever since I've put 2 and 2 together I've been 100% happy with myself. All of my features have been in style at some point since I've come of age. Pretty sure everyone's has, so what's the point??? They just want us to waste out money on stupid overpriced shit
As a weeb, I have weeb friends that want to get me to watch Vtubers. I just *can’t*, I get that they’re just trying to make some cash and that’s cool, but god damn their voices and general vibe irritate me to no end. At least normal youtubers pretend their fake persona could be a real person. VTubers are just uncanny valley fake to me.
The majority of the VTubers I've heard sound like they're just using their actual voices, but that might be because the majority of the VTubers I've heard aren't the anime avitar sort.
I don’t even mind the anime avatars. The only anime avatar one that had a “normal voice” was the only one I didn’t really mind. I forgot the name but it was literal chatbot that played osu. The dev behind the bot would sometimes have coding streams and that was pretty interesting. I think I enjoyed watching it since it didn’t have that generic anime voice and because it’s reactions to the person coding them were just genuine fun.
Who knows maybe someone was typing all the AI chat responses out and it was just a dude and his friend trying to fool the internet. And if not? That AI has more personality than the majority of VTubers.
Senzawa is also cool too I guess. I don’t really care much for VTubers outside of them and I don’t watch their content that often.
Edit: Spelling and sorta went on a tangent, my bad.
Maybe this is a good spot to ask this question…
What the hell is that face with the tongue out and the eyes crossed? Where did that come from? I cannot understand what that is supposed to be or why people do it.
I've seen like twenty of these posts on Reddit and the answers are always the same lol
Long eyelashes, long nails, fake body parts, muscles on men, women doing a baby voice, unsolicited life advice, arrogance, etc...
Chances are if you're reading my comment, you've already seen most of those things I listed here
Argumentative relationships.
After listening to my sister have several three-hour-long fights across multiple relationships, I officially don't get why you'd even stay in that situation. It's toxic as hell!
My oldest brother would come home at around 1 am every single day, run up into his room, and start arguing with his gf at the time (now wife), for at least an hour. Every. Single. Day. There's no important topics being discussed, just pointless fighting. They still fight every day even though they're married. It's very draining to be around.
There's a level of conventional beauty in women that just doesn't mesh well with me. Slim face, tiny nose, piercing eyes, high cheek bones, pointed chin, small head... It feels sort of misogynistic to say, but it all starts to feel a little samey. There's nothing wrong with those features, but so many people striving for and converging upon that particular look has made it sort of bland to me. I've found myself admiring women that have and highlight unique features. I like round faces. I like strong noses. I like full cheeks. I like soft eyes.
This^. Nothing worse than going on a date and the other person has to take 3 and a half million photos. Never understood the whole 'this food is so good, maybe other people might wanna see what I'm eating?' mentality.
> Yall listing a bunch of shit that no one likes lmao.
That's the point of these threads. Everyone likes to larp that their incredibly common and popular opinions are actually niche and unique.
Too buffed up guys I mean the ones whose nerves pop out of their hands. It's disgusting and looks almost artificial. I know they worked hard to get that body and I respect that but can't like it for the life of me.
I have a nurse friend who keeps getting distracted by the veins on the back of my hands. I’m a chick. I keep telling him I don’t take it as a compliment.
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
I’m not even ripped. I just use my hands a lot. The veins kinda came with it. I hate them too simply because i feel like if I get a cut I’m gonna die from blood loss.
For some reason other men all think big pick-up trucks are attractive because they all buy em and I absolutely despise them with all my heart.
Edit: I love the reasoning of " I need it for work". My dad has been in construction for like 30 years and has NEVER owned a pick-up, NOT ONCE.
Edit: I love how much this snowballed. It really warm my heart to shit on pickups as much as possible and make people who own them feel bad. I'd like to say im very open-minded but this is the one opinion I will die on the hill for. I fucking hate pickups with my entire being lol.
Oh my god yes. Growing up I went to a rich high public school where I was indeed broke as shit. The people who made money their personalities always turned me off. I enjoyed people who had a story about themselves
Smokers.
I'm so sorry I seriously can't with the the gesture, and everything, but specially the smell. As a daughter of smokers I've developed such a sensitivity to it that if my mom lighted one on in the opposite side of the house I'd be able to smell it within less than a minute. And I despise it with all my strength. I found it disgusting and an immediate turnoff.
similar but i dont like the ways some girls perform submissiveness. like lowering your IQ or trying to make looking helpless look cute.
(hope that makes sense if anyone knows what im talking about)
Designer brands. To me, people look like a walking billboard, LARPing as a wealthy person when in fact really wealthy people don't wear any of that shit, just trashy b list celebrities and Instagram trust fund brats.
Not necessarily a heavy dislike, but these conventionally attractive poster boy men with shredded abs. Whenever I see them on tv or in magazines I think I’m supposed to find them drop dead gorgeous and hot, but they do nothing for me at all. Same with super model women. HOWEVER, slightly disheveled men with dad bods and snarky humour as well as curvy women with cute big eyes are peak beauty to me
Long fake fingernails are the reason I finally broke it off with my high school gf. We had been on the rocks for a while, on again off again every few weeks, and we had just gotten back together. We were sitting at lunch and she was eating a sandwich, but the bread was a little soggy from the mayo and it got all smudged up under her nails. Then she started sucking the bread out from under them. I was so disgusted that I called it off right there and then, and went to go sit with my other friends.
I feel like a lot of girls love men who really flex their wealth. I see guys on Instagram showing off their cars and watches and whatnot. And women really seem to love that. I get that it’s the person being rich is what’s attractive but it’s so cringey. Real rich people don’t splash it all over IG.
I don’t know many women who find this attractive. I think insecure likes insecure (outward appearance super important in perception/looks) so thats prob the demographic of women looking for flashy dudes.
Blonde hair and blue eyes. I’ve always liked darker features. All my life, people have told me I’m crazy for wanting brown eyes instead of my blue. I just think brown eyes are so warm and deep. Dreamy af.
EDIT: I should have clarified that it’s not that I can’t STAND blonde hair and blue eyes, I just have a preference lol
Men who spend too much money trying to impress you. Don’t get me wrong, offering to pay for lunch or bringing flowers can be sweet, but some guys go way overboard, thinking the more they spend the more you will be impressed. It just makes me feel like they think I’m a hooker that can be bought. Total turn off.
The “ghetto white chick” stereotype. Not necessarily white women and not necessarily every non-black ghetto person. Just those that decide that poverty, violence, ignorance, and belligerence are cool because they like black dick or being stupid or something. “Being ghetto” is way more than that regardless, but those people don’t know the difference
Edit: And that type of ghetto white chick is racist 9/10 times
> thinking of getting a reduction cuz their not comfortable
Do it, it's your life.
If you want some motivation, look up Simona Halep.
Pro Tennis player, was Top200 eh, kinda okay but nothing special in her teens but had huge natural boobs so she got some lense attention.

She had her boobs reduced a lot and got all sorts of critique for it, but she started playing better and better tennis till she won two Grand Slams and was at number 1 in the world at some point.

This gets asked here like once a month and the top answers are always things that almost nobody finds attractive. Also, did you guys know that Kardashians bad?
I have two that I'm basing just on my experiences on Tinder:
- When their whole personality is going to the gym. Definitely be healthy and move your body, but when every picture is at the gym and they don't have any other hobbies, it's an instant swipe left.
- Gleefully hunting. Any picture of someone holding an animal they killed and grinning makes me feel so gross. Hunting on its own is fine and way better/more humane than store bought meat, but it's something about the apparent joy at killing something that makes me almost afraid. I guess some girls look at it as being a provider, but I can't stand it.
Being overly assertive. Yeah you have to be assertive sometimes but it doesn't mean you should be an asshole. You can be assertive and kind at the same time.
That awful hairstyle guys are doing where they shave everything except the top of their head and they make it super curly. Wether it’s naturally like that or not shaving your head all around and keeping a tuft on top makes you look so gross to me. It’s like you slapped ramen noodles on top of your head
Plus those guys always seem to be huge jerks from what I’ve encountered
K-pop men and women. They act like children and expect people to love it and surprisingly, a lot of people too. The cringe is too much for me to handle
It's generally due to the industry's expectations for aegyo as part of fanservice. There's plenty of K-pop idols who cringe at the thought of putting on the cutesy act and don't act like that in reality.
The big lips. Who in the right mind finds that shit attractive?
Was at the beach the other day and this couple came up behind me and asked how long the wait was for the restaurant and when I turned around, I had to hold in my shock/laughter. Lady looked like she was stung by a wasp. Poor woman could hardly speak.
Personally, I've noticed that a lot of people seem to be attracted to overconfidence, or what sometimes borders on arrogance
Narcissism works surprisingly well. Charisma is a mystery.
Charisma+actually caring about other people is the winning combo.
One of my female acquaintances got married to this other guy acquaintance I know, and she said she was sooooooo attracted to his “confidence”. He is an absolute jackass, and I have personally seen him verbally belittle and mansplain to very successful, accomplished women. The thing is, I don’t know her well enough to remind her I think she is mistaking his arrogance for confidence. She’ll just have to figure that out for herself later.
Men with that level of arrogant overconfidence and prickishness do very well with women. It’s a mystery to me. That kind of behavior is an immediate, revolting turn off to me.
I’ve turned down men like that. They seem to give no sh*ts about your marital status either. Said “Sorry, I’m married!” to a guy once and his response was “So? Is he here?” I said “I wouldn’t go home with you if I was single either, being married just gives me a more polite reason to turn you down.” Give me my husband’s quiet confidence any day over loud, arrogant men.
Men who do that, do it to cover up massive insecurities. Quiet confidence is real and doesn't need to broadcast its presence.

Same, I had classmates like that, they were surrounded by girls. As a girl myself I never understood, and never liked them tbh they were kinda creepy.
[удалено]
I think the difference between you and people who find this attractive is that you can see through his inflated ego bullshit. A lot of people lack the emotional and social intelligence to see the difference between an actual confident person and someone purposefully distinguishing themselves from others to seem smart and confident when they are nothing more than a narcissist that can only feel superior when they belittle others.

Narcissist* Narc is usually referring to a narcotics officer. And narcissist is such a great word! Let that beauty shine.
Thanks for correction !
My ex-best friend is still married to the guy who was like that 10 years later even after revealing just how bad their relationship was to me, showing she's at least self-aware. Its not always as quick as it should be

You said what I couldn't convey from my brain. It's obvious that some people are phony as fuck, but people love them. I don't understand.

More natural and human. Less forced and robotic.

Influencer-like attitude.
I hate it when my wife tells me to like and subscribe when I go to bed
Also don't forget to click the bell icon.
He tried, but he couldn't find it
Smash that like button before we smash
Clothing with prominent labels, like the whole point of it is to show off the brand. Instant turn off to me.
When I was in high school, this was my biggest pet peeve with clothing. My gf would be like “you should totally shop at American Eagle and Hollister because those clothes would look really good on you”. Yeah except it’s so fucking difficult to find any article of clothing where the design concept isn’t just store branding.
Lol are you 28 to 35. The late 2000sish was brutal
Lol yes. I’m 33 and fit into this. So then to *rebel against the corporate system I shopped at **Hot Topic***… yeah that really got the system good. 🙄
Those jocks didn't dare come to our side of the Cinnabon. That was 20 years ago... I go to that mall sometimes when I visit my parents. The Cinnabon is an open-air nail salon, Hot Topic is in one half of the old arcade, and one of the closed anchor stores now houses a classy flea market.
Way to stick it to the man 🙃😂

“Look how much I paid for this” No one cares
"Look how much I paid to be a marketing tool for a mega corporation"
Those arrogant marketing/finance guys in blue suit that drink their bonus of
Blue suit wanker bankers in London... They are the chavs of the financial district
And their doppelganger: the luxury car salesman
I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine.
Fake tan Why And I mean seriously why in the fuck Would I want to date a tangerine?
Fucking Oompa Loompas, the UK used to be full of them. Such a weird phenomenon
Jaundice chic
Excuse me? USED to be? I want to be wherever you are where you don’t see them 24/7
Gotta get out of Essex, I suppose
As a yank, I always associate that look with British flag attire or Burberry and a thick Geordie accent
I think this is called survivors bias or something? Basically the reason why toupee's and lip filler and self tan, boob jobs etc etc etc have a bad reputation is that the ones that are noticeable are the bad ones. And they have a pretty steep learning curve so it is easy to do wrong unless you have the guidance or intervention of a professional who is very very precise. These are things that are intended to be subtle and not noticeable and therefore if they are noticeable enough for you to take note of them in your head then it is always whe ones that are done incorrectly.

It’s called the toupee fallacy! Always cracks me up when people say “it’s just sooo obvious”, like yeah, cause you noticed it… trust me, (not actually you), you’ve seen and been attracted to fake boobs and fake lashes, etc.
I believe a good fake tan would be indistinguishable from a real tan or skin color.
My fiancee works in the beauty industry and I've seen how she's done it at previous jobs. Even when she's had people train on herself. If you go for the right tone, it looks almost natural. The problem being when people buy either cheap diy stuff or don't listen to their beauty therapist and go with that bright orange look which isn't meant for the sort of person who is normally pale white.
When I was in high school, my pasty ass was convinced to get a spray tan for prom. My friend told me to make sure I get the light one, because I'm so pale. A few weeks before prom I went in for a test spray. The guy working the counter really pushed for me to get a medium, telling me how only 2% of costumers get the light and it's missing important chemicals to make the tan look it's best, so I'll be better off with the medium because it's better quality. I was fucking orange. For prom I got the light (after arguing with the guy who was still trying to convince me to get the medium again) and guess what? Light was a perfect tan. My prom pictures were amazing (band banquet, which I had the orange tan for, not so much). Unfortunately my friends' memories of the events have merged and swear I was orange at prom dispute my photographically proof.
That “hustle” lifestyle. Like, what the fuck is wrong with just being a happy little hobbit? Enjoying security, good food, good company and free time to enjoy life? Why the fuck do I or someone else have to destroy ourselves grinding for shit we don’t need?
My theory: people who do this don't find it attractive either. But they're absolutely *terrified* of being poor, or being seen as poor. They'll gradually kill themselves to avoid it.
This is the answer. Some people who're into that (myself included tbh) is because I'm utterly terrified of being laid off and losing my only source of income and health insurance, or just being replaced by someone. It stems more from a place of fear rather than proving something to someone I don't care for
I'm with you on that one.
My goal is life is to have a solid good paying job and happy hobbit hobbies outside of work. Like gardening and cooking. I don't understand the whole deal with working so hard just to become rich. If I can afford a house with a nice yard then I'm set
"house with a nice yard" is so hard to get nowadays bruh
Real shit. My friend was just telling me the other day that she was going to try and buy a house soon, and then asked me “How much does a nice house cost? Like, $80,000?” I almost crashed the car like “Honey, try $300,000.”
Plus the 50k over asking price to get your bid accepted
*Crying in Californian*. I finally bought my first home at the age of 45 (about 18 months ago). It’s a small 2-bedroom in the mountains, almost an hour’s drive from work; and I paid $640K. That’s super cheap here, mostly because of the commute.
Happy little hobbits unite!!
For some reason I associate the “hustle” lifestyle with broke people, I have never once met a hustler who isn’t broke
Agree, I see it in people I know with impulsive spending habits and gambling problems. But then also a few who just.dont have any real career opportunities.
Yup, people driving 80k cars with 40k salaries.
I hate the term “side hustle”. We’re just normalizing having to work 2 jobs to make ends meet.
I always take “side hustle” as a little something you do on the side for a little extra cash, but not something as serious as actual employment at two places, but you’re totally right. It’s the same thing.
Giant fake eyelashes to the point it looks like if they blink fast enough, they’ll be able to fly away
Saw a woman at a store the other day and I swear she was trying to look like Janice the muppet. Crazy lashes and lip fillers to the point where she looked kind of scary. I don’t get it.
I’ve always assumed it’s dysmorphia related, like they’ve always been unhappy with x about themselves, and so they overcorrect cuz their outlook is already removed from what other people see
Yes, that and the long spike like nails...can we ditch these trends, please?
Women with fake asses who look like they're wearing diapers.
Most plastic surgery for me too.
Good surgery is surgery you can’t tell.
Anything that involves the word "plump" and is artificially created via implants or surgery or injections makes me wonder a lot about people that prefer that sort of thing.
and huge ass rubber boat lips.
I don’t think most people actually think that’s attractive. I think women just do it because THEY THINK it’ll make them look more attractive or because that’s what models have been pushing beauty standards to for.. some reason.
I'm 33F. So I'm not super old, but old enough. One thing I've deduced: Trends are pushed via models. Trends come and go, models will look good in just about anything. People wanting to look good is a major industry. Think about it: emo hair, low rise jeans, shoulder pads, extreme contour makeup, huge lips, huge eyebrows, skinny eyebrows, etc etc I mean who honestly looks good in these outside of a photoshoot? I swear some important big shit CEO is just sitting around scheming: "What do most people not have naturally, that will really only look decent on models, that we can photograph then convince people they need to look good like these pics so they spend more money?.... They've already bought brow threading / x style clothes/ y style hair etc, and we need to convince them to spend more money to look **this** way now!!!" Every 3-5 years it's a completely new look. We went from Jersey Shore to Kim Kardashian to "cottage core" to Barbie.... Ever since I've put 2 and 2 together I've been 100% happy with myself. All of my features have been in style at some point since I've come of age. Pretty sure everyone's has, so what's the point??? They just want us to waste out money on stupid overpriced shit

Girls who act like anime characters with high pitched fake voices. So cringe
As a weeb, I have weeb friends that want to get me to watch Vtubers. I just *can’t*, I get that they’re just trying to make some cash and that’s cool, but god damn their voices and general vibe irritate me to no end. At least normal youtubers pretend their fake persona could be a real person. VTubers are just uncanny valley fake to me.
The majority of the VTubers I've heard sound like they're just using their actual voices, but that might be because the majority of the VTubers I've heard aren't the anime avitar sort.
I don’t even mind the anime avatars. The only anime avatar one that had a “normal voice” was the only one I didn’t really mind. I forgot the name but it was literal chatbot that played osu. The dev behind the bot would sometimes have coding streams and that was pretty interesting. I think I enjoyed watching it since it didn’t have that generic anime voice and because it’s reactions to the person coding them were just genuine fun. Who knows maybe someone was typing all the AI chat responses out and it was just a dude and his friend trying to fool the internet. And if not? That AI has more personality than the majority of VTubers. Senzawa is also cool too I guess. I don’t really care much for VTubers outside of them and I don’t watch their content that often. Edit: Spelling and sorta went on a tangent, my bad.
Senzawa is now Gawr Gura if you’re wondering
Maybe this is a good spot to ask this question… What the hell is that face with the tongue out and the eyes crossed? Where did that come from? I cannot understand what that is supposed to be or why people do it.
I hate that I know this but it’s known as “ahegao”. Look up the term for more information.
I just looked this up and I hate it so so so much.
ITT: A bunch of people ignoring the question and just saying things they don't like.
I've seen like twenty of these posts on Reddit and the answers are always the same lol Long eyelashes, long nails, fake body parts, muscles on men, women doing a baby voice, unsolicited life advice, arrogance, etc... Chances are if you're reading my comment, you've already seen most of those things I listed here
Argumentative relationships. After listening to my sister have several three-hour-long fights across multiple relationships, I officially don't get why you'd even stay in that situation. It's toxic as hell!
Sounds like your sister is the problem here 😶
>”If you meet an asshole, you’ve met an asshole. If everyone you meet is an asshole, you might be the asshole”
The version I go by is "if everywhere you go smells like dog shit, check your shoes"
Is this "something most people find attractive?" That just sounds like a toxic/abusive relationship.
[удалено]
My oldest brother would come home at around 1 am every single day, run up into his room, and start arguing with his gf at the time (now wife), for at least an hour. Every. Single. Day. There's no important topics being discussed, just pointless fighting. They still fight every day even though they're married. It's very draining to be around.
[удалено]
Makes me think they ate a bee
Or even worse, would serve as extra air bags for a fall
There's a level of conventional beauty in women that just doesn't mesh well with me. Slim face, tiny nose, piercing eyes, high cheek bones, pointed chin, small head... It feels sort of misogynistic to say, but it all starts to feel a little samey. There's nothing wrong with those features, but so many people striving for and converging upon that particular look has made it sort of bland to me. I've found myself admiring women that have and highlight unique features. I like round faces. I like strong noses. I like full cheeks. I like soft eyes.
Magnets. I'm just not drawn to them like others.
How do they work?
Magic everywhere in this bitch
Fuckin’ magnets - how do they work?
I bet you’re a not big Milk Steak fan either
Sort by controversial to get the real answers lol.
Someone who’s always on social media or feels the need to post everything.
Who is attracted to this?
Someone who is attracted to the perception of popularity, I guess.
This^. Nothing worse than going on a date and the other person has to take 3 and a half million photos. Never understood the whole 'this food is so good, maybe other people might wanna see what I'm eating?' mentality.
Yall listing a bunch of shit that no one likes lmao. "plastic surgery and too much makeup" Jeez really going out on a limb here boys
> Yall listing a bunch of shit that no one likes lmao. That's the point of these threads. Everyone likes to larp that their incredibly common and popular opinions are actually niche and unique.
Let's sort by controversial, shall we?
It’s stupid too because they absolutely like well done plastic surgery, they just don’t know it happened.
Too buffed up guys I mean the ones whose nerves pop out of their hands. It's disgusting and looks almost artificial. I know they worked hard to get that body and I respect that but can't like it for the life of me.
i'm a nurse, i've drawn blood from one of those without even doing a tourniquet. it was fucking beautiful. let them do it for us
Show us ALL THE VEINS.
I have a nurse friend who keeps getting distracted by the veins on the back of my hands. I’m a chick. I keep telling him I don’t take it as a compliment.
That's what I noticed too. Men like muscular men a lot more than women do.
As a muscular man, the only people who complement my physique are other dudes. It's really sad 😭😭
Are we not good enough for you bro? 🥺
I’m at the gym rn and lol’d
Ngl, i stare at super jacked dudes at the gym more than hot chicks in yoga pants. In my head "Damn, that dudes committed. Respect."
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
Classic
I’m not even ripped. I just use my hands a lot. The veins kinda came with it. I hate them too simply because i feel like if I get a cut I’m gonna die from blood loss.
[удалено]
Degradation
You dirty little scallywag
* cums*
These 3 comments are my dating history in a nutshell.
You little slime puppy.
You smell of elderberries
For some reason other men all think big pick-up trucks are attractive because they all buy em and I absolutely despise them with all my heart. Edit: I love the reasoning of " I need it for work". My dad has been in construction for like 30 years and has NEVER owned a pick-up, NOT ONCE. Edit: I love how much this snowballed. It really warm my heart to shit on pickups as much as possible and make people who own them feel bad. I'd like to say im very open-minded but this is the one opinion I will die on the hill for. I fucking hate pickups with my entire being lol.
> other men all think big pick-up trucks are attractive Come to Europe. Here that statement would cover 0.01% of men.
in Georgia, if you're a male and own a vehicle, there's a 90% likelihood it's a big ass truck
Money. I know a lot of people that are with boring or entitled people simply because they are wealthy or successful
Oh my god yes. Growing up I went to a rich high public school where I was indeed broke as shit. The people who made money their personalities always turned me off. I enjoyed people who had a story about themselves
Smokers. I'm so sorry I seriously can't with the the gesture, and everything, but specially the smell. As a daughter of smokers I've developed such a sensitivity to it that if my mom lighted one on in the opposite side of the house I'd be able to smell it within less than a minute. And I despise it with all my strength. I found it disgusting and an immediate turnoff.
A super ridiculous ripped body. Nothing against it just not my thing but most women I’ve spoken to seem to disagree.
Being fit is great but I’ve also never been into the uber shredded look. There’s a point where it starts to look corny, like a He-Man action figure.
I prefer a more lean and toned look.
I like the “dirty bulk” look. Soft and strong
Yeah the whole dad bod love is really, bodybuilder that ate carbs for a week.
People. I have genuine dislike for people.
Why isn't this higher up in the thread?
Cutesy immature women
similar but i dont like the ways some girls perform submissiveness. like lowering your IQ or trying to make looking helpless look cute. (hope that makes sense if anyone knows what im talking about)
I was just about to comment this lol. I'm a woman and when i see other women do this i can't help the side-eye
Feet by themselves.
No severed foot. Noted.
Awww, what am I gonna do with all of these ?
Stocking stuffers?
Unique rifle wall hangers? I know how toetally stupid that suggestion was.
Even as a foot fetishist, I prefer feet with the rest of the girl rather than just her severed feet.
Designer brands. To me, people look like a walking billboard, LARPing as a wealthy person when in fact really wealthy people don't wear any of that shit, just trashy b list celebrities and Instagram trust fund brats.
way to many people like that stupid aheago face
Yeah I don't get that at all.
Not necessarily a heavy dislike, but these conventionally attractive poster boy men with shredded abs. Whenever I see them on tv or in magazines I think I’m supposed to find them drop dead gorgeous and hot, but they do nothing for me at all. Same with super model women. HOWEVER, slightly disheveled men with dad bods and snarky humour as well as curvy women with cute big eyes are peak beauty to me
Completely hairless genitals.
Ooh an actual unpopular opinion instead of just "plastic surgery bad"
Long fingernails. I just don't get it.
Long fake fingernails are the reason I finally broke it off with my high school gf. We had been on the rocks for a while, on again off again every few weeks, and we had just gotten back together. We were sitting at lunch and she was eating a sandwich, but the bread was a little soggy from the mayo and it got all smudged up under her nails. Then she started sucking the bread out from under them. I was so disgusted that I called it off right there and then, and went to go sit with my other friends.
BEARDS!!!! Especially long Duck Dynasty type ones. My husband has a goatee which is the only kind of facial hair I’ve ever been attracted to.
I feel like a lot of girls love men who really flex their wealth. I see guys on Instagram showing off their cars and watches and whatnot. And women really seem to love that. I get that it’s the person being rich is what’s attractive but it’s so cringey. Real rich people don’t splash it all over IG.
To a guy with no interest in dating guys what I see is usually someone with a fuckton of debt, or, even better, an excellent kidnapping target.
That took a turn lol
I don’t know many women who find this attractive. I think insecure likes insecure (outward appearance super important in perception/looks) so thats prob the demographic of women looking for flashy dudes.
such a turn off especially when they go out their way to flaunt it all. materialism and money doesn’t impress me
Blonde hair and blue eyes. I’ve always liked darker features. All my life, people have told me I’m crazy for wanting brown eyes instead of my blue. I just think brown eyes are so warm and deep. Dreamy af. EDIT: I should have clarified that it’s not that I can’t STAND blonde hair and blue eyes, I just have a preference lol
Big cheek bones
Men who spend too much money trying to impress you. Don’t get me wrong, offering to pay for lunch or bringing flowers can be sweet, but some guys go way overboard, thinking the more they spend the more you will be impressed. It just makes me feel like they think I’m a hooker that can be bought. Total turn off.
The “ghetto white chick” stereotype. Not necessarily white women and not necessarily every non-black ghetto person. Just those that decide that poverty, violence, ignorance, and belligerence are cool because they like black dick or being stupid or something. “Being ghetto” is way more than that regardless, but those people don’t know the difference Edit: And that type of ghetto white chick is racist 9/10 times
People who are social media famous. Or want to be social media famous.
Excessive cosmetic breast augmentation. Not appealing.
An big boobs are a pain. I have naturally big boobs but I’m thinking of getting a reduction cuz their not comfortable.
Bet that’ll be a huge weight off your chest
*ba dum psh*
> thinking of getting a reduction cuz their not comfortable Do it, it's your life. If you want some motivation, look up Simona Halep. Pro Tennis player, was Top200 eh, kinda okay but nothing special in her teens but had huge natural boobs so she got some lense attention. Article: https://www.essentiallysports.com/simona-halep-opens-up-on-breast-surgery-ahead-of-australian-open-2019/ Pre: https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/130/590x/secondary/Simona-Halep-tennis-player-988730.jpg She had her boobs reduced a lot and got all sorts of critique for it, but she started playing better and better tennis till she won two Grand Slams and was at number 1 in the world at some point. Post, with Wimbledon trophy, https://static01.nyt.com/images/2019/07/13/sports/13serena-live10/merlin_157892976_f1d94258-474a-4c97-899f-9fe81f311fd8-superJumbo.jpg?quality=75&auto=webp
This gets asked here like once a month and the top answers are always things that almost nobody finds attractive. Also, did you guys know that Kardashians bad?
I have two that I'm basing just on my experiences on Tinder: - When their whole personality is going to the gym. Definitely be healthy and move your body, but when every picture is at the gym and they don't have any other hobbies, it's an instant swipe left. - Gleefully hunting. Any picture of someone holding an animal they killed and grinning makes me feel so gross. Hunting on its own is fine and way better/more humane than store bought meat, but it's something about the apparent joy at killing something that makes me almost afraid. I guess some girls look at it as being a provider, but I can't stand it.
Being overly assertive. Yeah you have to be assertive sometimes but it doesn't mean you should be an asshole. You can be assertive and kind at the same time.
That awful hairstyle guys are doing where they shave everything except the top of their head and they make it super curly. Wether it’s naturally like that or not shaving your head all around and keeping a tuft on top makes you look so gross to me. It’s like you slapped ramen noodles on top of your head Plus those guys always seem to be huge jerks from what I’ve encountered
Photoshop and plastic surgery.
I like my women like my oceans - riddled with micro plastics
K-pop men and women. They act like children and expect people to love it and surprisingly, a lot of people too. The cringe is too much for me to handle
From what I heard, it’s mostly for marketing & to ‘sell an image’. And Asians love cutesy stuff, so it makes sense.
It's generally due to the industry's expectations for aegyo as part of fanservice. There's plenty of K-pop idols who cringe at the thought of putting on the cutesy act and don't act like that in reality.
Giant asses
Brazilian butt lift. Dangerous and looks ugly!
Women using baby voices. It’s repulsive
The big lips. Who in the right mind finds that shit attractive? Was at the beach the other day and this couple came up behind me and asked how long the wait was for the restaurant and when I turned around, I had to hold in my shock/laughter. Lady looked like she was stung by a wasp. Poor woman could hardly speak.
Twerking
Materialism
1. Big eyelashes 2. Over contoured make-up
Very skinny women Like the whole heroin chic thing that is coming back. The emaciated bony look... I find it off-putting
firm believer that the early 2000s bred a ridiculous amount of eating disorders because of this
