Unpopular Opinions, yo

[wannabmama]

I usually see jeans as necessary evil...yes they are convenient but they never fit me. But there's an AE right by my office so I'm gonna check it out...neeeed jeans.

Edit: wtf would iphone think I wanted to say "heans"??

Important question. Where is the best place to get jeans? It's been ages since I've had good jeans.

Depends on your body size/shape, but I usually get mine at Old Navy (cheap) or Torrid (not cheap.)

I've has super good luck at JCP. I have a pair of black skinnies that I re-dye instead of buying new b/c they hold up so well. I bought a pair at Torrid the other day off the CLEARANCE for $80.00. I had no clue they were that much and was too embarassed to say no when they rang them up. Figured I'd return them... Nope. Final sale. Ugh.

America has a growing disease of "I AM SO AWESOME"itis.

It's annoying as fuck.

So...you're saying I'm NOT awesome as fuck? I'm sorry, this does not compute for me.

I'm sorry, hun.  You ARE that awesome.

My UO is I hate jeans. Hate, hate, hate that tight, claustrophobic denim.

I think I own like one pair of jeans but I never wear them. 

What on earth do you wear on weekends? I have, like, 10 pairs in varying styles and degrees of fanciness, and I wear them to EVERYTHING - from working in the yard to going out to dinner.

Dresses, leggings, jeggings, basketball shorts, sweats and my favorite yoga pants    Random girls in college would always say they loved my "sporty" style. Whatever I'll take it ha.

Are the Penneys ones ANA brand? I bought a pair of that brand 5 years ago and they are still my favorites. The only wear on them is at the bottoms. I can only wear jeans 3 days a week so that helps them.

I'll have to check out JCP. But as for a UO (and no offense to you) I think skinny jeans are the worst. They should be banned from the planet.

I think we're the same person! Ok, at least have the same wardrobe.

[adorebel]

I love "dirty-pretty" boys - boys with pretty faces and messy hair (YES TO THOR). If I were single now, I'm sure that would involve an attraction to all things beard and man buns. But my beautiful H keeps his hair short on the sides, long on top, with a 5 o'clock shadow, so IDK. That's the sexy I'm working with and it's a-ok by me.

Yep. I've had an ANA pair for ages. The skinnies are just JCP.

[adorebel]

The Oxford comma and the two spaces after a period DO NOT BELONG IN THE SAME CONVERSATION. The former is a grammatical rule that aids in clarity, and attempts to "simplify" English by eliminating it have only ended in tears and failure. It must stay. The latter was an aesthetic typographical rule invented for typewriter smearing and has been irrelevant since the invention of the computer. It not only can go, it has already gone. Poof.

Haha. No offense. I'm very specific about skinnies. Must have real pockets. Super thick denim. Not skin tight. And not paired w/ a tight shirt!

[jags8]

icaughtfire noooo I love my skinnies! All I wear. I am very short (under 5') so skinnies make my legs looks longer.

adorebel your H sounds like my brand of sexy! I convinced DH to get that haircut last fall, but he didn't like it so I dropped it.

He's pretty cute! He's one of those people who finds a haircut/sandwich/shoe he likes and then just goes with that forever, whereas I'm always trying and buying new things. So I'm glad it looks good on him, haha!

+1 to Old Navy. I like their sweetheart cut because it covers my booty and doesn't show my ass crack.

I put jeggings in the same category as beige leggings.  Never the right answer! Never!

Sweetheart cut works best for me too. I can't have my ass hanging out, I'm not 21 anymore.

GUYS, we need to stop the leggings/beards/man-bun discussion before we are too far gone.
I have nothing to add to help, but for the love of all that is holy, someone please give a flammable UO.

I don't like drinking. I will have a drink at a party or bar, but never with dinner and I never just want a drink to wind down or anything.

I WISH I was like this.

On the other hand - I love the taste of alcoholic beverages and while I rarely get super drunk, I love to unwind with a drink.  I would drink every day if it wasn't bad for my liver and/or waistline.

unpopular opinion:

I hate it when baristas and bank tellers ask me "what my plans are for the day?" or "anything interesting going on in your life?" I'm cool with "how's it going?" or chatting about the weather but get absolutely irked when asked a personal question by a stranger who obviously doesn't give a shit! I turn into such a cold mega-bitch when it happens.

You're missing out.

[lemoncupcake]

My opinion (unsure of how unpopular it may or may not be) is that artificially inflating your lost count is idiotic. If you want to reach the next level, just post more in normal conversation, not a bunch of nonsense in a dedicated post-count-growing thread.

 Just playing devil's advocate here... When I was a bank teller, we were trained to make conversation with our clients above and beyond the usual "Hi, how are you today?" bit.  

I know - I worked in the service industry for my whole 20s (barista, server, bartender) - I guess I can just tell when it is fake/forced and dig my heels in.

I don't think these questions are all that personal. If they were asking about your ute, ok, mega-bitch. But really those questions are so innocuous.

I'm totally unreasonable! And also a private introvert. That's why it's an unpopular opinion!

I don't think those questions are too personal. Plus, I prefer a little conversation to being completely ignored.

Love jeans, my 7 for all Mankind make me feel sexy! Love them, I'm 5'2 and built like a boy no waist but (fairly) slim hips, they give me curve!

Love facial hair! Don't mind the man bun but I prefer men with long/ish hair to wear it down.

I do not care for casual talk with bank tellers, etc either. A casual conversation is friendly but beyond that no thanks.

and I'm a dumbass just now recognizing what the two space issue is. I'm not changing!

UO I don't like air conditioning!

[goldenlove3]

The national guidelines for nutrition are extremely outdated. It sounds like things are moving in the right direction for 2015 but I don't think it'll go far enough.

I had to fill out a health questionnaire for my insurance and it told me I need to improve my diet by adding more grains, switch to low-fat dairy products and to use vegetable oils (like canola) instead of animal fats. I disagree with all of these things.

And beards*. Shave your face and cut your hair.





*I will admit that roughly 5 people on this earth look better w/ them.  

I never thought I liked beards on men, and then DH grew his out a few winters ago and yum! I had to backpedal and tell him it's ok to grow out your facial hair, I mean, if you want!
