Have you noticed all the white women getting covered in shitty flower tattoos?

Maybe the same thing but an awful trend I’m seeing are women with the totally random small tattoos on their arms. Simple black line drawings that are randomly laid out. Imagine being over the age of 6 and thinking this is a good idea.

The one that takes the cake for guys is getting a handprint of their kid with a birthdate by it (name is optional). I wonder what the guy’s wife thinks when they’re having sex and here’s an in your face reminder of your kid; just weird.

To feel like a rebel, I wear a pair of chinos to my corporate job and a lightly starched shirt. And I never ask one of the tattooed sheep what any of their tattoos mean because I don’t engage with idiots except on TD.

Not for a long time.

It's trending in the other direction.

Lot of travel ball Karens with tattoos on their ankles and feet.

And dads with sleeves

This girl epitomizes girl boss regret

she ticks all of the boxes

cross fit chick, way too muscular
bull ring in her nose
terrible flower tattoos from her hands to her shoulders
sort of southern white trash mixed with black cultural dialect (she says guys “wont wife me up”)

HOWEVUH

the video is all her expressing regret about her choices
“ya’ll I look crazy”

matt walsh gives excellent analysis about this type of young lady and how she and her peers lie to each other about what men really want

a young woman putting tattoos on herself is like having a house and putting in a pool. you limit your target demo with that decision to people who want a house with a pool, everyone else is out.

Adding more and more tattoos and piercings and the like limits your attractiveness to only guys that like that look.

Girls like this will be like 36 years old with 2 kids and still put in their dating profiles "yall I like MANLY men with beards and TATTOOS, you gotta be able to HANDLE ME!!!!"


And then she dates exactly that type of guy, runs through about 15 clones of similar profile.

Recognize the type of guy these women date so if she ever shows interest in you then you know it's for all the wrong reasons.


There's a reason why arranged marriages existed across many cultures and societies for hundreds of years.

Most women are simply bad decision makers when it comes to their spouses. They choose quick, fast, and glamorous, at least for most middle class to lower class. Their partner choices trap them in their hurricane of poor decisions. Men can also be jaded by their own natures.


Breaking families has broken marriages as the support systems utilized to arrange a stable pairing have been killed.


Ironically upper class women are most picky about money/status and less picky about looks. Fairly common for an attractive upper class woman to have an average looking spouse or even a spouse of weird proportions. Usually that's who can identify with their own upbringing.


Looks are one aspect, but the douche porn star type couples are more common among the trashy than the classy-attractive.

It used be that people with tats looked tough. Someone that could kick your arse. Now people with tats look like people that make your coffee, flip your burger, or ask to speak to the manager.

ETA . The same can be said of men that shave their heads, come to think about it.

exactly
and her peer group of crossfit girl boss chicks and gym bros is an artificial loop of affirmation that leads to poor choices and declining outcomes

most desirable guys dont want to date women that they have to explain, make excuses for or worse be embarassed by their appearance or demeanor

my wife’s company has a nice Christmas Party every year at the ball room of a local country club. It is a suit and tie type of event. Her dept is part of the Risk Group, so she has all of the legal dept. They hired a young guy lawyer and he brought a date, some tatted up gym girl chick. She was pretty, fit, wearing a very nice sleeveless gown with a full arm sleeve. Just a bunch of bumper stickers on a Bentley. She was the talk of the party in good ways and bad.

my wife said it was so awkward in the office for the guy, she said you could tell he was proud of how hot she was but also sort of embarassed by her too.

crossing over from hot chick i am banging to life partner and mother of my children is tough enough without feeling apprehension about outlier choices that permanently affect her appearance.

Nobody wants to be in that situation if they can avoid it.

Tattooing the body has been around for tens of thousands of years. Don't really see it as a fad, and I don't believe it's going away. Pay it no mind

Tattoos are a way for people to be ‘creative’ without actually having to ever actually do or achieve anything in a competitive environment. The more we allow people to work from home and not respect their companies, the more society will become trashy.



How do some of you come up with such bullshite?

That's the point. It was always associated in Western Civilization with cultural primitivism. And it only thrived in specific subcultures. And piercings were considered extreme primitivism, with the ears being a feminine exception. It's not a mistake that as people have repudiated the idea of the elevated civic culture that they have also embraced cultural primitivism. We see the same thing with art and music. It's not so much a value judgment as it just is.

Funny. I see a lot of women who have great bodies...but they decorate themselves and their appearance so poorly that it truly is an embarrassing state to be seen with them. I don't get it. Crazy clothes, loud demeanor/personality.

Between crazy arse hair, tattoos, piercings, fake tans. Girl gym douches are so cringe and trashy.

It's cultural primitivism. Literally. We are just mirroring primitive cultures that brand themselves and put holes in their noses and eye lids. It happens when a culture rejects its identity and seeks it elsewhere. In our case somewhere in the mid 90's that began to grow in funky white enclaves and spread from there throughout the middle class. Previous to that it had been strictly a subculture membership thing-the military, bikers etc


Fantastic post and the fact that it's 2 times as many downvotes as upvotes shows how ignorant the OT has become

different strokes for different folks

but women that make these types of strong and permanent appearance decisions that then lament their shrinking potential partner candidate pool are either in denial or stupid

When forming any kind of relationship in any realm of life both our subconscious and conscious asks this question in numerous ways; Does this person make good life decisions?

In Borneo, it would be perfectly normal to answer that question in the affirmative when meeting someone with face tats and a bone in his nose. In the boardroom or when introducing them to your children, not so much.
