I’ve never understood why people get earrings, despite them often being unattractive.

Eh, I’m not a fan of lipstick on women. There is nothing inherently wrong with either. It’s all a matter of personal taste.

Seconded. Actually the whole “every woman has to wear makeup, earrings, purses etc” thing. Yes, many do and many people find it attractive. But not everybody - let people be themselves…

A very good “normal” example of body modification, just not as permanent. And there are degrees to that as well…I’ve seen lipstick colors that just enhance the lip color and give a sheen that I don’t think twice about, but even my favorite celebrities look off putting to me when made up “heavily”. I’m a bit on OP’s side as far as preferring the natural look, although minor studs or a small tattoo somewhere don’t catch my attention in a negative way, if I even notice.

Red lipstick in particular. It makes everyone look like a clown. 🤡

I find makeup in general, and in fact hair colouring, mousse, etc. not attractive. I’m not saying it’s unattractive, but it makes me think, “why would you do that?”

I suspect it’s related to probably being on the spectrum. I find it difficult enough to understand people’s unspoken thoughts and emotions, without all the distraction and camouflage.

I didn’t vote because I have no opinion about this and I’m indifferent about earrings

Though I do find gauges on the nostril or below the lip to be off-putting

How oddly worded… I understand that this is “unpopularopinion”, but you say “despite them often being unattractive” as if it’s a fact they’re unattractive

Contextually this is a … board? Sublemmy?.. whatever, the context is obviously opinions, it completely makes sense that in an opinion … zone… someone would state their opinion frankly or cavalierly.

Difference between starting an opinion and making a leading statement.

Manipulative people don’t even realize they’re doing it.

^ example of a leading statement, not an opinion.

“Community” is the accepted term… that’s why the link to them is labeled ‘Communities’ and why it’s /c/. (On kbin, they’re Magazines, but kbin is the black sheep.)

Ear rings look uncomfortable to wear. Isn’t it annoying having them jiggling around on your ears.

I’ve got small gauges, I just don’t feel them at all. I could see more dangling jewelry being kind of irritating…

Not really, depending on the earrings. Personally I find a nice comfy pair of smaller hoops, usually, that I can comfortably shower and sleep with. I’ll wear those until I get tired of them and then find something else.

Dont you worry about the spike on the end of the ear ring stabbing your next when you roll over in your sleep?

It’s not sharp. You’d need some kind of freak accident.

I haven’t worn them recently, but the jingling is actually what got me into earrings. I liked having slightly dangly earrings and so when I shook my head they would jingle delicately.

It’s such a subjective thing, I love the look of most piercings on both men and women lol

Unpopular Opinion

!unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

Create post

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
