What are you superficial about?
 

I'm superficial about people who wear reallllly cheap and outdated clothing, especially if they can afford better clothing.

How about you? :p

Hair. People don't have to have the best hair in the world, but what is up with the 80s hair still? Move on, it's been 15 years people!

I am not extremely superficial. (At least I don't think I am...) But these are my stickler points.

I hate:
-Unkempt eyebrows/unibrows, etc.
-Pantyhose with open-toed shoes
-White after Labor Day, with exception for Greeks when it's mandated for ceremony, etc.
-Hair with bangs that are teased and sprayed within an inch of their life
-Spandex anything
-straight-legged jeans that are tuck-rolled like I used to do in the early 90s
-wearing so much jewelry that it blinds a person just by looking at you (simple elegance)
- OBVIOUS panty lines... Thongs ladies, thongs!

I'm superficial mostly when it comes to odor. I cannot stand B.O! Like I don't mean to sound rude, but showering at least every-other day is a MUST. Seriously - oily face and hair and BAD stench are a huge social turn-off (no matter what sex).

WTF is this WHite after Labor Day thing? I can only imagine that's a crimson wave thing, but I need help here.

Stan, Stan, Sweetie - no lady ever wears white after Labor Day, unless it's for a ritual. And then, not in public. It's just not done.

There is no excuse for this! None! If you're going out in public cleanse yourself.

.......why????????

I agree with all of these...but with regards to the thongs- girls who wear thongs that stick out when you are standing up. I understand when girls are sitting, a little thong might show, and thats okay. BUT THONGS SHOULD NOT HANG OUT WHEN STANDING UP- I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR UNDERWEAR!!

I'm superficial about dating women who aren't naturally pretty.

Stan, the no white after Labor Day rule is really a Southern thing.

About the thong thing that DolphinChica said...I totally concur! I also am superficial about manners I suppose...I just can't stand it when people don't use common courtesy when interacting with or being served/helped by others..

I'm superficial about handbags...it's obnoxious...but I hate cheap, falling apart purses. They can either tie an outfit together or destroy it!

That's not superfical. Cleanliness is not an option in this country, it's a requirement.

Women that we are grading as they walk by . . . not necessarily love interests.

"larger" ladies who wear "smaller" clothes-I mean if it actually fits and you feel comfy in it, well ok then, but if it is meant for a smaller lady-DON'T squeeze yourself into it. My favorite comment from a guy friend was "honey, just cuz they MAKE it in your size, doesn't mean you should wear it."
Yep, thats my superficial thing.

PANTY LINES....no one should EVER EVER EVER have them. I can't stand it when people have them and I totally have negative thoughts about the person. Yes...slightly neurotic...but oh well...

OOOH...me too!! Get clothing your own size!!!

I'm sure this will stir the pot, but obvious thong lines. Yes, this does exist! This can occur when your clothes are entirely too tight or you wear a thong that is darker than your light colored pants.

:eek:

I agree. By a thong in YOUR size. I hate when women get a thong two sizes too small and it makes a huge indentation as well..

I think I have a few too many to post, but the top of the list is
hoochie type clothing. You might be the last remaining virgin on earth, but if you wear clothes that scream slut-that's what I see, a slut. I like sexy clothing, but there is a difference.

I'll add tattoos! Sorry, I'm still old school where those are concerned. The tiny, private ones don't bother me.........too much.

- Panty lines are gross! They invented thongs for a reason. Use them.
- If you have double D's, do not buy your tank tops in a size extra small. There is no way in hell your boobs will fit into it.
- Tattoos anywhere but in an inconspicuous place. (ie- lower back is ok, upper arm is tacky)
- Excessive body piercings.
- Bad breath. This is my biggest pet peeve. If you've just eaten something nasty and can't brush your teeth for whatever reason, please spare us all and just grab yourself a piece of gum. Thanks.

Because white is a summer color, and Labor Day is the end of summer.

It's the same principle as wearing red velvet in July. It's a clothing/season mismatch.

I am incredibly superficial about bad teeth.
Many times, people who have teeth that never grew or are broken/oddly spaced apart are like that because they didn't have proper flouride treatments as a kid. Now that most communities have flourigated water, it kind of makes me think white trash.

Incredibly bitchy/superficial, but that's what this thread is about.

Oh, that is such a pet peeve of mine!! And by the way, I'm a big girl myself, so it's not like I am making fun of the big girls per se. But ....
SISTER, PLEASE!! There are nice looking clothes in larger sizes. Do a little shopping and find some!!

Stan,


As a general rule, women start wearing white (and by white I mean anything below the waist like shoes, pantyhose, pants, skirts, or dresses...) from Memorial Day to Labor Day. White blouses, shirts, or sweaters are fine... It's the white below the waist or covering the entire body that is the issue.

Yes, I have learned it is primarily a Southern thing. But, it just looks plain tacky when a women wears white shoes and pants in November. :D

lol thanks everyone for the insight.

Wearing white
 

Although I'm a native SoCal, I still don't wear pure white pants, dresses, skirts and shoes (especially, since my shoe size is 10 and only certain white shoes look OK on those of us w/large feet) and skirts after Labor Day unless it's for certain types of business. ;) I usually start with white on the first day of spring rather than wait for Memorial Day.

I was raised by an Eastern- and Southern-reared mother and sister, so I learned a long time ago to lay off the bleach/stark white in what passes for winter in LoCal. Winter white and ivory are good year-round alternatives for me.

I am SO with you on these!

Interestingly, many of the guys I know think that a subtle panty line is exciting - forbidden fruit, or something like that.

Thank you all for explaining the white to Stan, AND for bringing up the velvet after Valentine's Day! Without our little "rules", this country would be headed to hell in a handbasket!

Let's add: dark hose with light-colored shoes! Yuck, yuck, yuck!!

NAVY BLUE & BLACK TOGETHER...hello? Can we say CLASH? Besides, you look like a bruise....

(my boyfriend and his cousin love navy blue and black.....drives me crazy!)

I'm going to say that I think it looks tacky when a woman wears white shoes and pants ever unless she's going to initiation. Yuck!! But then I'm tacky because I have an upper arm tattoo. :p

I am sorry my last post was not clear... I meant them being worn separately: white shoes or pants. :)

okay, seriously, i think sometimes people go overboard with the whole "white is so bad" thing - it's now january, and MANY women at my work (a prominent business consulting firm - so it's not like we're a bunch of hicks - these people make a lot of money and have excellent taste) wear white pants with black or colored tops and black shoes. it's "winter white", and i, along with many other people, think they look very classy.

Do white shoes look good with anything? ;)

Winter white and ivory, IMO, work year round. I also have done the winter white-black/colored top-black shoe look out here in LoCal.

OMG, one of my sisters and I were just talking about this. I am a huge teeth snob, I think because my mom used to be a dental hygienist. If your teeth are not straight and white and all present, you can say gooooodbye.

I'm all about WINTER white - but there has to be enough "winter" in it. It can look tres chic!

It's the white-white pants, blazers, or skirts that make me crazy!

OK here are mine:

(1) Bad teeth. Scientists and doctors invented flouride, toothpaste, toothbrushes, dentists, and orthodontists. Please take advantage of the services in which dentists and orthodontists provide and spare a few bucks on the flouride, toothpaste, and toothbrush. It's just that simple.

(2) Shirts that bear the mid-drift. I don't care if you're in the 100 lbs. range or the 200 lbs. range. DON'T wear these shirts! I don't care if you're anorexic, have a feminine 6-pack, or are overweight. It is NOT a fashion statement in the least.

(3) Low ride bluejeans. I don't care if you're able to pull them off or not. I am not pleased in the slightest to see your panties. I can't pull them off because I don't want to show my hiney. It is not attractive on my part or your part to show your panties or butt due to low ride jeans or pants.

(4) Unkempt fingernails and toenails. There are nail files, polish, and manicurists and pedicurists. Take advantage of them.

(5) Nasty appearance. This includes nasty hair, skin, and BO. Take a bath.

(6) People who have acne. GO TO THE DERMATOLOGIST! or use some acne cream. It's in your local CVS, Walgreens, and Eckerds. Heck you can go to your favorite department store and get some.

(7) Trailors/Trailor parks. Ya'll I hate them. Best explanation: I live in South Carolina. Enough said.

(8) Yellow Cars, Monte Carlos and El Dorados. They are the most redneck, tackiest cars placed on this earth. Have some class. Don't buy a yellow car, a Monte Carlo, or an El Dorado.

(9) Scuffed up shoes, especially white ones. Get some shoe shiner and use it before wearing shoes if they're scuffed.

(10) Paisley blouses. No one looks good in Paisley.

(11) Women who don't blouse their blouses out just a tad and then proceed to wear their pants to the middle of their stomach. Pure tackiness.

(12) High water pants. Tall women, get the right length.

(13) Short people who wear their pants too long. The keyword here is: "hem". I know how hard it is to find short enough pants but there comes a time when one has to improvise. If you can't sew then take the pants to a tailor/seamstress. Sometimes the dry cleaners are able to do it.

(13) White socks with dark shoes and vice versa. This doesn't need an explanation.

(14) No more Garden Botanika stores. I know there is the online store but you have to pay shipping.

A wedding gown. :)
