USCGAviator Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 That's an interesting thought, will try to remember it the next time I see a 250 pound teenager in walmart wearing a six flags t-shirt and lime green crocs. ^lol and this
Disenchantedly Yours Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 That's an interesting thought, will try to remember it the next time I see a 250 pound teenager in walmart wearing a six flags t-shirt and lime green crocs. You should. Because 250 pound teenagers in walmart wearing six flags t shirts and lime green crocs could have really good hearts. Or they could have bad ones. All in all, you don't know. But I will tell you one thing. I bet 250 pound teengers in walmart aren't spending time on message boards pretending the are better then other people. Can you claim the same Dasein.

I wonder how long you'll last before you get banned for personally attacking everyone?
dasein Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I can't visually imagine that in my mind without cracking up laughing. EDIT: That is going in my siggy! Thanks, but I can't really take credit for it, it's just the way mama arranges the stuffed animals on my bed.

AHardDaysNight Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 It's overblown, but she does have a point. I personally am 220 pounds, and was 300 pounds at one point... I never thought I was better than anybody else on a message board, though. Even on here now, I feel like 97% of the internet forum is better than me...since they've experienced, or are in, relationships. I definitely feel like I'm better than DY, though, because she doesn't seem to be able to comment without sticking the claws in! Meow! Hiss!
Star Gazer Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I don't know if this is something that's internet/discussion forums-wide, but at least on LoveShack, there seems to be lots of guys 18-35 who are really negative (but serious, not facetious like Woody Allen) and always make posts that dog on the women that they see on the street, or on dating websites, or that they somehow tricked into speaking to them. They all tend to have really belligerent, unapologetic attitudes; the guys 18-25 tend to be helpless, and the guys 26-35 tend to be bitter and despondent. What's going on with these guys? What makes them tick? High five!
Star Gazer Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Correlating the way a person dresses to their intelligence is just about the most ignorant thing I've heard. Meh. I don't really care whether I appear ignorant for thinking dudes who wear Affliction shirts most likely aren't members of Mensa.
Star Gazer Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Two words: Jersey Shore This is the first time I've ever heard about a black North Face jacket being related to Jersey Shore.
AHardDaysNight Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Meh. I don't really care whether I appear ignorant for thinking dudes who wear Affliction shirts most likely aren't members of Mensa. Exactly. And I didn't mean anything bad by the comment. Once again, DY is twisting my words to make me the bad guy. All I meant by it was that I would assume. Yes, maybe my assumptions would be incorrect, and I certainly would change my assumptions if I met them and talked with them and they appeared intelligent...but from a distance, that's what my assumption of who they are would be. Look, if you met a guy who had a knife that was bloody, his clothes were in tatters, and he had scratches on his face...would you assume he was a nice guy? Or would you assume he was a serial killer, and run the other way? Exactly.
dasein Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Oh for goodness sakes, people make clothing based assumptions about others constantly, women most of all. If women will stop judging me for my Iron Maiden World Slavery Tour t-shirt and white vinyl loafers, I'll stop judging the kids in walmart for six flags t-shirts and crocs, deal?
Star Gazer Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I can't believe you wear an Iron Maiden t-shirt with white loafers. WHHHHHHYYYYYY can't I "like" this?!?!?!
Wolf18 Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Oh Gawd don't stereotype girls who spend hundreds of dollars on clothes every month and get garfield colored tans in November, people who follow every possible trend and live for clothes and vanity should not be held accountable or criticized, that might make them do something icky like think and trigger some frowny-face self-realization.
joystickd Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 i like looking at ones with big butts that wear juicy sweatpants. Hell I like big butts and I can not lie. My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun lol. i guess its comfortable to wear
oaks Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I don't know if this is something that's nation/North America-wide, but at least in New England, there seems to be lots of girls 18-35 who are really tan (but brown, not orange like Guidos) and always wear black North Face jackets, sweatpants that say "Pink" or "Juicy" across the butt and either slip-on, laceless sneakers or Ugg boots. I remember a time when North Face made clothing for wearing while mountaineering. Seems they are just another 'fashion' label now. Sad times.
ascendotum Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I remember a time when North Face made clothing for wearing while mountaineering. Seems they are just another 'fashion' label now. Sad times. Thats what I thought. I've bought their gear in mountaineering shops. IDK maybe some celebrities have had their photos taken wearing NF.
Disenchantedly Yours Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I wonder how long you'll last before you get banned for personally attacking everyone? You're a real trip HardDays..especially because you've made more then your own fair share of insults on this board. So lets see...Dasein can mock people of a certain look and dress and that's perfectly okay, that's not an attack or anything on stereotyping people, but he can't be called out for doing it? My comment wasn't even a personal attack. Did Dasein not give the impression that he thought he was a better then people he would judge for wearing a certain thing?
Disenchantedly Yours Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Wow, now THAT'S a sig. what's sig mean?

What makes them tick? Just one more wafer thin Jerry Springer Opera reference. The guy in the red shirt (Chucky)....especially at 6.50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_loaVSMRa5g&feature=fvsr
Mme. Chaucer Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Guys do it too around here but it is a very small section of the Jersey Shore area that MTV likes to promote. Do you have any pics? I'd love to see those tan guys in their "Pink" or "Juicy" sweats and Uggs, especially the ones who wear their dark and shiny hair in a bob. What could this reveal about their personalities? And how are they achieving a rich brown tan rather than an orange one?
grkBoy Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I don't think so, I remember seeing seeing these types of girls around back when I was in high school, all the way back in 2005; way before Jersey Shore. Ok...so I can't give the short answer. It's the typical look of the moment girls do. Flat-ironed hair, maybe too much makeup, fake or real tan, and the outfit. I more meant "female version of the douchebag".
dasein Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 what's sig mean? Signature, block text appended to one's posts on a forum. If people aren't allowed to mock and make fun of the crazy things other people do, the stupid things they say, the awful choices they make that affect all of us, including the ugly things they wear that assault our eyes daily, then the murder/suicide rate would be much higher than it is. In return, I have no problem at all with people mocking and making fun of the crazy things I do, the stupid things I say, the awful choices I make that affect all of us, including the ugly things I wear. So lighten up.

I see..so making fun of people keeps the murder/suicide rate down. Well tell that to the number of teenagers that have come into recent light in the media for being bullied for who they were. In return, I have no problem at all with people mocking and making fun of the crazy things I do, the stupid things I say, the awful choices I make that affect all of us, including the ugly things I wear. So lighten up. And yet, your regular posts around here contradict this. Prejudice esculates bitterness and hate. It's one thing to see someone dressed a certain way and not like the way they are dressed. It's another to make preconcieved ideas about ther intelligence or their general state of being. It's akin to racism. Edited November 3, 2011 by Disenchantedly Yours
