It’s a very effective strategy, because speaking as a queer woman, I would see the person on the right and think “personal experience tells me this person might belong to the alphabet mafia, so perhaps I could buy her a drink”
“Loving” as in “if you so much as think about self-determination, you’ll get guilt-tripped, emotionally manipulated and berated for defying God’s plan”? Because those conditions tend to produce the type of person that doesn’t act up as a teen, but once they reach adulthood and taste freedom, they go all out, with mixed results. Tats and piercings certainly aren’t the worst outcome.
Would hit it.
And by “it” I mean “that guy’s face.”
I am pretty sure this is a porn star on the right but I can’t remember the name.
Someone else in the thread identified her, I can’t find it now.
I bet what suddenly made her so unappealing to this guy was turning 18.
They hate consenting adults.
Seriously, she looks like she’s about 16 in the first photo.
Via my daughters I’ve met some 12/13 year olds that looking like that image on the right.
I can 100% believe it, I’ve seen people who look like that who were that young as well. Pretty much all across that age range, around the time of puberty. But she definitely doesn’t look older than 18, and I guess being that age or older would make her look unappealing to him.
Because he hates hags /s
Saying “After 2 years with college professors” seems creepy to me, like he thinks college professors are supposed to take over the parents’ role.
This person you see but have minimal interaction with a few times a week for 13 weeks really screams parental figure.
Probably still a more positive influence that these scums have on their kids.
Not far off for a lot of families unfortunately
That’s probably the level of interaction OOP wants to have with his kids.
What was it? Every accusation is a confession?
They think education is flawed. It’s part of the GOP indoctrination. What you’re saying is morbidly comical, but the real reason is how the Right regard education.
It’s crazy. They literally treat a lack of knowledge like a badge of honor. They genuinely believe they deserve a gold star for proactively avoiding knowing shit. It’s real. It’s wild.
Evangelist Christians genuinely believe that “earthly knowledge” is pointless once you are saved and are at the gates of heaven, so yes.
And wild that he thinks that the professors are giving out fashion advice rather than calculus and shit.
And it wasn’t professors who taught her to respect and value people who weren’t like her, it was just meeting them.
My physics professo was the most physics professor looking physics professor the world has ever produced. He was definitely not giving out fashion tips.
Unless of course you are a fan of ugly brown woollen affairs and tweed jackets with patches on the elbows.
My physics professor was Italian and a very snappy dresser. Although, he also wore shorts and soccer jerseys some days.
Very funny guy and could do trig out to several decimal places in his head. He was one of those rare professors that was doing research but still a great teacher. He was responsible for making math ‘click’ for me and helped me realize the joy of math.
could do trig out to several decimal places in his head
He’s got to have memorised that before class, or has memorised a bunch of common angles. The formula I remember using for them is a mess and doesn’t converge quickly.
My physics prof wore white socks with soccer ball-patterned slide on sandals. Normal business casual other than that, unless you count hair that hadn’t been bruised in a decade. Year round even in snow. And rode his bike to campus like that daily. Very fun dude.
My Physics professors literally wore pocket protectors, with pens in them. They were also both ultra-marathoners which is surprisingly common among that species.
That’s a bingo!
Its more like:
After 2 years of no longer being completely within the social circle of and under the financial and physical control of Christian Nationalists / Super Fundies.
In guessing this guy isn’t super into adult women.
Weird women with tats are very appealing to me. I married one.
Plus her piercings are amazing
As a man who currently plans to marry a woman that chooses to dress very modestly and doesn’t like tattoos, that woman looks great and beauty comes in many forms. Don’t be a fool and enjoy all beauty. The tree’s, the human’s, the music’s. Life is better if you allow yourself to enjoy “things” for their kind of beauty and not complain about the lack of some other kind.
Honestly, I don’t care either way.
Except like. If they have Nazis tats, that’s a hard nope, but otherwise… eh.
I was playing disc golf by myself once and fell in with a group of guys with shaved heads who were playing the same course. They seemed nice and it took me a couple of holes to realize that they all had swastika tattoos on the sides of their heads. Fortunately I had rigged up my phone to make the incoming call sound when I double-tapped a side button and I was able to nope the fuck out of there.
For me it’s less the beauty I’m attracted to and more the weirdness
Weird is Hot.
Maybe there is a kind of beauty in the weirdness that you like.
I wasn’t talking about beauty as only visual beauty, but also the beauty of a kind soul. The beauty of the little flaws that make us.
The confidence. I love people who are weird because one. they have confidence to be whatever they want to be. Two. Have interests that either align with mine, or have a passion that makes me interested in them as well.
Passion and confidence, regardless of what it’s for is extremely attractive.
I personally don’t see the appeal, though to each their own.

Conservatives chose to spread Mar a lago face. I do not respect their sense of aesthetics.

Bro… I just opened Lemmy. At least let me wake up first…
You are awake now though. This Zombie has jump scare potential
If you’re not wide the fuck awake after seeing that, I’m not sure there’s any hope left for you
Muppet looks like a damn muppet.
Oh god mark this as NSFL please
I’m conflicted, the brilliance and effort required for this answer is on par with how much I hate it.
Felt the same while creating it.
The person everyone forces you to be vs the person you are for yourself.
“Should we ban self-expression, or just limit it away from women?”
Okay buddy.
The person everyone forces you to be
The first photo is literally just a human without changing their natural appereance…
Not getting tattoos, peircings, etc is just as ok as getting them.
Got called a “soyboy” by some right wing women, told them “good, I don’t want to appeal to women who want to be regularly beaten by tgeir husbands”.
And then everyone clapped.
Omedetou
I don’t personally find tattoos appealing.
But there are studies that say tattooing provides women and particularly survivors of sexual trauma a sense of ownership and authority over their bodies.
Unfortunately there are also studies that say that outside of the EU, many tattoo inks contain lead, cadmium, arsenic, and carcinogens.
Yeah it’s that last bit that keeps me from getting any

Thank you. I was wondering what I was missing when thinking all this through. I don’t have any myself, but have wondered about the range of motivations for folks that get more than one. I figured it was at least tribal and wealth (expensive, can’t be stolen) expression. Body modification as a way to exercise autonomy and agency - that absolutely tracks with folks I’ve met.
I feel like my tattoos feel like armor I’m always wearing.
Americans love freedom until someone freely chooses to be comfortable in the way they look!!!
They want the freedom to judge and ridicule others and the freedom to dictate who gets rights… Not actual freedom for everyone.
