Yep. People get pissy when I suggest Paul Rudd has had work done. Guy has had more botox, chemical peels and treatments than can be counted to stay looking like he does. He just has is done well, done in small increments so no sudden changes and done often so he stays looking fresh. I would suggest at a a high enough disposable income point and up it would be hard to find a man or woman who hasn't had some work done, even if it's just an injectable, something to make their hair grow, eyebrows shaped. I think most people below that income point don't understand just what is available.

u/fuchkafem 23d ago

Getting my brows shaped every couple of months costs me like $10. This makes me think that once you're past a certain income bracket, procedures that middle-class people would consider "invasive" become increasingly normal, e.g. mostly injectables like botox and filler.

Any level of machismo or physical aggression in men. I do not want you to get mad in my defense over little things. I also do not want to see you punch a wall in your rage. I will actually end up worrying that you are going to pick a dumb fight or break something over a stupid thing. Your rage makes me nervous even if it's not directed at me. It's not a turn on.

Like sure, if someone is actually trying to hurt me or creep on me, I don't mind a guy stepping in to help. But it should be a last resort. I much prefer a man who wants to just leave or de-escalate a situation as calmly as possible.

Yes!! On my first date with my now boyfriend, we were in a drive through to get drinks and these crackheads in front of us got out and started yelling saying we were staring at them (we weren't) and instead of getting all aggressive back, my bf calmly told them to just get back in their car and completely de-escalated the situation. I told him months later that the situation was something that made me like him even more, and really showed his character. He was shocked, he thought I would've wanted him to fight them or something, but he doesn't like to fight unless it's totally necessary.

Had a cracked out dude scream at me for having the audacity to step out of the train station early in the morning, and he proceeded to tell me that

a). I was somehow a murderer, even though I can't recall murdering anyone

b.) I was about to kill him

c.) That he welcomed me murdering him because then we would get to meet in hell and we could fight there I guess?!?!

All this in less than a minute.

The situation was scary as fuck but since he was between me and the door, I couldn't really go back inside. So I just started walking down the street. He kept screaming at me for a while, but once I got off the block he got back to doing whatever crackheads do at 5am.

Unless someone is literally tackling you of threatening you with a weapon, walk away towards a more crowded area. This has kept me out of danger, and that's good because my area is full of crazies for some reason.

u/bitchachayerbatera 23d ago edited 22d ago

Most fascinating thing. I was mocked in school for having extremely long, thick lashes, spider-eye they would call me. Now they're running to salons trying to get that very thing done for a lot of money. I once had a dude in a club try to rip off my "fake" lashes, he was so pissed at "fake everything", he felt he needed to "teach me a lesson". He made my lid pop off my eye socket with an audible smack.

Edit: Oh wowzers. Did not see this comment blow-up coming. So, to clarify a few things:

  1. What happened next was that I yelled at the dude "wtf is wrong with you?!", slapped him in the face and walked away. Luckily he didn't follow me, and we didn't run into each other that night again.
  2. The comments have made me realize that this was assault, something that I never saw that way due to being used to much more intense aussault experiences, so I never pressed charges or had him thrown out of the club, back then I didn't think of it as assault, I just considered it really bad behavior. Thank you everyone for the validating and encouraging words.
  3. Regarding a picture, I had one up for a while, then this comment blew up and I am adamant about protecting my privacy, so while I understand the curiosity, please also understand my need for anonymity.

Thanks again and have an awesome day/night everyone!

They still are, they just make some relatively cheap tees with lots of branding because it really pays the bills. They still have great ready to wear designs whose quality is par with the ones who don’t work in that market(Hermes, Balenciaga, BV, etc).

Same happens in the luxury car industry, every luxury car maker has an ugly gaudy suv now and in most cases it’s their best selling car, it can tarnish the brand a little but it pays for the nice stuff.

I genuinely loved the look of the bag when I saw it for the first time 40 years ago. I was broke and could never justify the expense no matter how much I made. Fast forward 25 years (still hadn’t bought one) and I’m caring for my mother who is dying of stage IV Ovarian cancer. She put my name on a list for a Speedy 35 bag at the Louis Vuitton store. 6 months later the bag came in and she had an engraved heart fob made for it that said “Forever In My Heart”. It as her last gift to me. It is the single most cherished physical possession I own along with my grandmother’s wedding ring. I carry it for special occasions and my husband and daughter know I want to be cremated and my ashes kept in my Louis Vuitton Speedy bag instead of an urn (ashes obviously inside a bag) The first time I saw the bag in a Newman Marcus Holiday catalog I cut the picture out and carried it in my wallet for 25 years. It absolutely means the world to me and I love the style as much today as the first day I saw it.

u/thurn_und_taxis 23d ago

It’s interesting how men can have strong preferences for high voices or low voices. I have a pretty low voice for a woman and my college boyfriend (who in retrospect was kind of an asshole) used to tell me how he wished my voice was higher because it would be more feminine. Then the next guy I dated absolutely loved the fact that I had a low voice and said that really high voices were a turn off for him.

I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence, but the first guy who liked high voices tended to be attracted to younger women (not literal children as far as I knew, but 18-19 year olds), while the second guy tended to be attracted to older women (not like elderly women, just somewhat older than him).

I'm curious if she ever tried deepening her voice to sound more mature. I had a friend with a high baby voice that was promoted.

She told me she was very insulted that her boss told her to do these things, she was talented and wouldn't change for other people! But sure enough, a few weeks later she followed her bosses advice and was getting a lot more respect and a lot more done.

I also can't help but wonder if some of the ladies mentioned in this thread who raise their voice around guys aren't doing the opposite, lowering their natural voice in order to get more respect.

Edit: Look up the WNBF (World Natural Bodybuilding Federation), if you want to see what the creme de la creme of natural bodybuilding looks like. And even those people look less insane when they aren't super lean for the competition. You can only stay that lean for short periods of time.

Especially because it's waaaay more common than people think.

There'd be very few people on TV or in the movies who haven't used performance enhancing drugs to achieve their bodies, but in interviews it's always "just diet and exercise and a really good PT". They always leave out what's really going on so everyone works so hard towards these borderline impossible to get and maintain bodies with an unhealthy fervour.

I had a mid twenties marine argue with me that Ronnie motherfucking coleman was natural; he was just massive because he outworked everyone. This was a full grown man who exercised rigorously 5+ days per week and was adamant that it was possible.

That was a massively eye opening day for me about how little people know about what's truly possible for the human body without pharmacological intervention.

The "bad boy" thing. I don't get it. Why do people think a troublemaker is sexy? It somehow ties into the social media love for felons, which is also gross.

I read somewhere that women don't actually like criminals, but those who are willing to break the rules in fun ways that are ultimately benign. It's more about the carefree, energetic, and exciting attitude than the 'breaking the law'. Some people also have a hero complex and want to take on the role of the 'redeemer' in their own little fantasy

u/lampcouchfireplace 23d ago

I think a lot of people find this quality attractive. Rules and social mores are often silly and adherence to them for the purpose of adherence is boring. Going skinny dipping or jumping a fence to stargaze or whatever is different than holding up a gas station. Most people don't want to date a criminal, just a rogue.

u/Crazed_waffle_party 23d ago edited 23d ago

‘Rogue’ is a good word to describe them.

The key difference between a rogue and a criminal I think is victimization. Criminals create victims. Rogues generally don’t, except maybe the poor schlep that has to clean up a rogue’s graffiti art

Agree. When I think back to being in college and seeing girls saying they liked "bad boys," what that typically actually meant was that they liked guys who were fun, outgoing, confident, and liked to be social/do a lot of things. Riding a motorcycle, wearing a leather jacket and having a couple of girls you could call when you wanted to have a good time made you a "bad boy," not getting into barfights. Being a criminal really didn't have much to do with it, all told.

Knew a girl who has a thing for bad guys. Finally went on a date with a well know awful guy. Texted me 30 minutes into their first date. "Can you come get me from <a city that's legally an hour away> " Dude suggested that city as their first date, she's like a bit far but okay. Dude was doing 120mph+ to get there, and ditched her when they got there because she was crying. Go figure. Speed limit along that highway is between 30-70mph.

SNL did a skit with Jack Black where he was an ogre and a town offers up a virgin to him to be sacrificed.

Jack Black's character, eventually asks for a slutty, older woman instead.

Gorkenlot: Maybe we can strike a little bargain here.

Sir Parrish: I might be willing to listen to something.

Gorkenlot: I’ll let you live, and you can take the virgin with you. But you have to bring me back a slutty girl.

Sir Parrish: [ confused and outraged ] What?!

Gorkenlot: You know, like a bored housewife who’s kind of hot and feels neglected by her husband.

Sir Parrish: But you don’t want a virgin?

Gorkenlot: I’ll be honest with you, buddy – on paper, a virgin sounds great. But in reality, not that good.

Sir Parrish: But I thought even a monster would desire someone who was pure.

Gorkenlot: I’m just looking for a woman who knows what she’s doing.

This happens every generation. It's like someone decides women's eyebrows need to look a certain way and you wind up with 10 years of eyebrows looking exactly that way.

Super thin, sharpie, perfect half circles...

At least this generation's brows don't involve killing the follicles.

I used to work in a retail location, and we had a repeat customer who came in weekly.

A big dick. It’s intimidating and all I can think is “ow.”

Edit: A lot of questions about how big is too big. Let’s just say I call my G-spot Waldo because it’s always hiding and neither extra length nor extra girth have found him but agility has come close.

Anything over 6 inches length wise and like a teenager’s hitchhiking thumb size width wise 🤙is too big for me personally. 4-6 length is perfect. Even under that is fine as long as it has the agility of a ravenous snake.

Edit 2: I feel like people are misconstruing my thumb analogy… I don’t mean the thickness of a thumb, I mean holding it sideways like a hitchhiker. So… 3 1/2 inches maybe?
