Unpopular Opinion

Firstly: wow, an actual unpopular opinion!

Secondly: I will go so far as to say absolutely tooooons of people wear earrings that I personally find extremely silly, unfashionable, or outright gross.

Sorry ear plug people. They look goofy when theyre in and they look horrifying when theyre out.

Probably this opinion of mine comes from knowing a person who managed to get their ... ear loop? caught on something and tear apart.

Also: I think its child abuse to force a 3 to 9 year old to get their ears pierced.

I used to date a person who worked at a Claire's... and they would tell me that they would often, as in multiple times a week, have a family of recent immigrants from... India? Bangladesh? ... come into the store, and they would have to physically restrain a screaming obviously unwilling child to get their ears pierced.

Anyway: I think it is too far to agree that earrings in general are just bad all the time, but there are lots of cases where theyre done poorly.

Hey this guy has an unpopular opinion! Gonna upvote you and tell you you're wrong

Different people find different things attractive, as surprising as it is.

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

I don't get piercings in general tbh.

Which is ironic because I have tattoos.

Something about just jamming something in your body and leaving it there just seems fuckin weird to me.

Again I get the irony considering I have tattoos ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Finally an actually unpopular opinion lol

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.

I don’t know, my wife’s Lego minifig head earrings or dinosaur earrings, where half the dinosaur is in front of the lobe and half behind are pretty legit.

went to a mexican back yard party. loud as fuck mariachi band, fun as hell. did some tequila shots, ate tacos, and danced. looked around and there were people dancing with babies in their arms. the babies had pierced ears. also, you could just pass the babies around apparantly.

I think they can look attractive or nice on women and men. Jewelry (and makeup) can certainly improve how people look and therefore feel about themselves. The right amount is very subjective of course. As long as you like your mirror image, it’s good. Personally I find all of that impractical and my „jewelry“ is a nice beard instead.

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

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

Indifferent on earrings. Can always take them out when you're bored of the look.

Ear gauges look fucking awful though.

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

Where are you from? How old are you?

Some earrings look incredible and some look...artistic, putting it nicely. Like with clothes, clothes that look good on one person do not look good on everyone. Of course there is also personal preference.

When it comes down to it though I do not think many women wear earrings to make them look pretty. They wear it to give themselves confidence, and I want to encourage and support this behavior whenever possible, even if it goes against my personal aesthetic (that is not to say I dislike earrings - this mostly applies to tattoos for me).

Different tastes

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What you find ugly, others find attractive. it also changes over time. You hate earrings now, you might like them 10 years from now

Thank you for saying it!

What about other pricings? Just earrings?
