Peacocking

It used to be subpar looking people did it to stand out. I’m a bit confused how it got normalized. Maybe the “normal” looking people also have broken self esteems.

Pussy ain’t pussy when 22 year old pussy looks like it’s 62. Why do you young women make their selves look older with all that filler BS? It doesn’t make sense to me.

Nose piercings are going through the roof. Disgusting. I can't see a single good reason to do it but the number of women doing it seems to be going up exponentially. The stud was bad enough. The ring is truly gross.

I don't like nose piercings or tattoos, but I came of age in the 90's when lots of girls were kinda into that grunge/alt fashion style and I liked it.

I didn't realize I needed to put on makeup and a tight fitting outfit to go get coffee and run errands, sir.

It's not like you see men all dressed up for this either.

Because of other young women. It's not about dudes.

I believe it’s a psychological thing.

There is a sizeable cohort of American women who are basically incapable of loving themselves.

They exhibit narcissistic tendencies, but it’s not a traditional narcissist “I’m so f’in great look at me!” thing.

It’s like they don’t love themselves so they pleasure seek via social media, dopamine response (men are guilty of this too) and via social causes to try to fill the void.

They loathe themselves and their close friends but believe themselves incapable of fixing their condition so they blame it on the patriarchy, politics, their childhood, their spouse, etc. rather than have to accept any ownership of their condition or responsibility for improving it.

I don’t mean to say they didn’t have bad experiences, but as soon as you believe you are hopelessly broken due to external trauma you forsake any path to fixing it in favor of permanent victimhood.

But if you are incapable of loving yourself how can you love someone or anything else? So they take it out on whoever is around them in a myriad of ways in a subconscious attempt to bring them down to their level of suffering.

They are victims but become antagonists in their anger.

Doubt me? Watch how an unhappy woman responds to a woman in her social group showing signs of joy. Its an instant attempt to subvert that joy rather than to try to elevate her own situation.

Because regardless of what women look like, there is a bunch of dudes on the internet that will give them attention.

It reflects how they feel about themselves. Usually they feel uncomfortable with being feminine, and so they ugly themselves.

I actually always preferred this or very minimal makeup in women especially when I was younger.

On the flip side, men probably get some of their tattoos and piercings to try to be cool with they homies or podnahs without thinking how women will view it.


You lost me here but this deserves a thread all by itself.

But you're in a dangerous spot here. Assuming you're mid-30s based on username, at least I'm thinking about your generation doing the same thing as 24 year olds. (I'm addressing your comment, not OPs issues)

Yoga pants, etc. I appreciate women looking good, but you look for our cars/trucks and we look at your assets (before what is in your mind) in the first 3/4 of a second. There is a difference between when you haven't had your hair or nails done in two months, even with a banging bod, versus what it looks like you care about yourself. I'll take a big girl that cares about how she looks over a Bike Bunny anyday. ETA: I didn't mean to intimate that you were a big girl, at all, I meant that I was accepting of women that own themselves.

Men get away with more, true. I gotta bathe, shave, and get a weekly haircut. Hopefully be funny, low bar.

I think he is referring to stuff like tribal tats, comedy/drama, etc. Most of them are decoration, and don't mean anything substantial.

Military usually doesn't have this problem. I've even already covered up an MOS tattoo already.

I think people in general tend to go the ultra casual route when it comes to how they present themselves. I regularly see people wearing pajamas in public. I have even seen people in sweatpants at a funeral.
