There are a lot of trends coming forth (or that have been around for a while) that I am a huge fan of. Yoga pants. Push-up bras. Mesh dresses. Espadrillas and other shoes which mimic the high heel without the pain and risk. Then there are the trending lies which we have to contend with as part of modern society's onward march - fake breasts, body shapers, fillers, hair extension, et al. However there is one modern trend which I hate. Not at a strip club, but in a Starbucks. I step into line behind a knock-out. Long, wavy chestnut hair. A spaghetti strap tank and short shorts proving that she spent hours in the gym and went hard. A few tasteful tattoos on her shoulder and upper arms - nothing that could not be covered with a short - sleeve blouse and skirt. Beautiful voice as she spoke, Pearl earring dangling next to a very sexy neck. And then she turned around. Fucking tattoo next to her eye. Not even a nice one- the kind of blurry blue bruise color that inmates used to get from their fellow convicts. Remember when Mike Tyson got his facial tattoo? Everyone snickered and mocked him - it was even made into a joke in The Hangover 2. Now they are appearing everywhere. I'm not even talking about sleeves, chest, or neck tattoos (but the neck ones are nearly as bad). This is worse than even a septum piercing or snake bites, at least they can be removed. Even a split tongue, which cannot be lasered together, can at least be hidden behind your teeth and speaking carefully.
That's my take - face tattoos are the worst modern trend.

last commentWorked with a young girl last week at a company I do business with. She was very young, I’m guessing around 25, even if I’m way off she is definitely under 30.
She was a cute and well spoken young woman, but 3 trends I see on a lot of young women.
Fake eyelashes. Those ridiculously long ones that I’m sure she pays big bucks for. I’ve seen women with varying lengths of these and some look good but when women get the extremely long ones they just look stupid IMO. Getting them professionally done is expensive (monthly upkeep appointments) but the scary part is no matter the length getting this done will destroy their real eyelashes over time.
She had all these random small tattoos all over her arms and hands. I see a lot of young women (much more than men) with this trend. To me it looks like they passed out drunk and their friends wrote all over their arms with a magic marker. She had all these uplifting words like “fierce,” “lioness,” and “business woman” I thought “anytime she needs a pep talk does she just look at the words on her arms?”
Worst Trent of all IMO is the duck lips. Here’s a cute girl at 25ish and she’s already getting Botox to her face. Lots of it, and it’s not a good look. I think she’s gotten so much work around her mouth it’s changed the way she talks. I’ve always thought anyone under 40 has no business getting Botox. Hey, you’re 42 and want to get rid of a few wrinkles on your forehead, then I get it, but when young women still have youth on their side they don’t need to start pumping plastic in their faces. In a lot of cases I think it makes young women look older.
What do you guys think?

Shailynn ape, you are totally right about the uplifting word tattoo shit.
I mean really, what kind of hairless ape gets “lioness” tattooed on her arm? I could respect something descriptive like “sexy female hairless ape” (assuming said female is sexy). But “lioness”? Gimme a break!
Seriously, even my girlfriend…er, sexy lioness that I live with…got in on this. She wanted to get a tattoo that said “Humboldt squid”. Can you believe it? I asked why and she was all “Humboldt squids are badasses” and it is hard to disagree with that because I’ve partied with squid and they’re wacko…but she’s a frickin’ lioness. That tattoo writes itself! ROAR!!!

Wait…y’all don’t think my babe did the deed with a squid, do you? Sobering thought…
I could see Gamma’s girlfriend - if he has one - fucking a squid. I mean really…read his frickin’ posts. That posting history will make any female wanna fuck a squid. But I’m a rick. And a frickin’ lion. No way my lioness has done the deed with a squid. ROAR!!!

Female hairless apes fucking squid is why birth rates are dropping? Damn straight!
I mean really, have you ever seen a 1/2 squid-1/2 hairless ape walking the streets? Or swimming ‘round with the other calamari? I mean really, either way would be kinda silly.
That said, I don’t think the unnatural couplings of squid and female hairless apes is common enough to have a major impact on demographics. Think about it. ROAR!!!

The cumbrella style fake eyelashes I agree are fucking awful. They're ridiculous on strippers, but I see them on women elsewhere too. Some girls I'm sure have fake eyelashes that are reasonable, I probably don't even notice them. But those caterpillar ones are fucking hideous.
Botox I also agree is way overdone. The duck lips are fucking gross.
Another one is the way too long nails. That may not be new, but it seems even more common now. I see it on soccer moms trying to get actual dates with me. Not that I'm such a fucking prize, but no. I'll barely tolerate that ridiculous crap on a stripper.
I saw a meme on IG or somewhere that I can't find again, but it was something like this with the caption "Miami Beauty Standards" and I thought it was pretty spot on. pinterest.com

...Lip fillers. They go overboard and look cartoonish.
...the whole thinking being toxic/dysfunctional is cute.
...girls wearing combat boots

The fashion trends of today appear no different than the moronic on-line content people love so much.

Interestingly, high-priced escorts often advertise being tattoo/implant free. The can charge a premium for NOT spending stupid body modification money on themselves. Bless their natural hearts.

Well-done tattoos will not look bad on people who were already hot, so on strippers even face tattoos do not bother me as long as they are small. Whenever I see anyone else with a with a tattoo on the face or neck then I consider it a public warning that this person is no smarter than the typical stripper.
Tattoos have become so accepted that you can probably see plenty of them on the librarians and kindergarten teachers, where exposed tattoos while working are apparently not scandalous anymore. I guess getting your face, neck and hands covered in tattoos is the "final frontier." The people that love their tattoos the most are low class & undereducated: you will almost never see a tattoo on a physician or attorney because having status is better than showing off a cheap tattoo

Tattoos went from being edgy to being trashy. I don't mind well-thought, artistic, meaningful ones, but it seems like a lot of people (men and women) get them to shock onlookers, or intentionally deface themselves.
I also agree that lip fillers look like someone caught flesh-eating bacteria.

The natural female body is beautiful. Why fuck it up?

MAGA isnt really so much of a trend… girls wearing combat boots is also a non issue.
Stoner culture might be one of the worst trends.

I was running my hands over the perfect spinner body of this 23-year-old, while marveling at her pretty face and smoother than silk skin when I realized that the icing on the cake was her tattoo free body. Just amazin

Ski's comment made me think of another one, girls wanting to be thick. As someone who prefers slim girls, it kills me to see slim or average size girls intentionally try to bulk to up to be thick. Inevitably, they wind up fat.

There's one specific girl at a club I go to I like specifically because she's tattoo free. That, and she's got a great body to go with it. There used to be two girls there like that, but it appears that one is gone for good now.
I think the face tattoo thing happens because they want to imitate Post Malone and Jelly Roll and other musicians who do that.

I agree the face tattoo thing is copying some celebrities or wanting to be a gangster.

What I hate most is fucking nipple rings. Almost makes me not want to suck on 'em. I mean, I will, but I'll be thinking how stupid that is while the metal is rattling against my teeth.

I’ll go a different direction wit stupid annoying trends:
1- Big pickup trucks modified so that the front sticks up in the air and the rear squats down.
2- small sporty cars modified where the wheels toe out so badly that they’re nearly riding on the inside sidewalls of the tires.
Both trends just scream “I’m an idiot! I spent a lot of money to intentionally fuck up my vehicle”.

Physically i think the ugliest trends are the horse teeth looking veneers and lips that are way too big

There are no horse teeth veneers unless theyre messing up the surgeries. Your experience with crack-hos and their veneers isnt representative of the rest of the population with veneers

Most legitimate tattoo parlors here still won't do face. My understanding is it has one of the worst ratios of regret or unhappiness.
"Bull" nose piercings seem to be on their way out.
I was around for it the first time but I'm still not a fan of gigantic baggy pants on women. It's one thing if they are low rise and cling to the hips paired with a baby tee: those women are clearly saying "look at my torso not my butt/thighs". But it's a slippery slope when waists on loose pants become mom jeans which don't flatter anyone.

Also just had a conversation with an old friend last night about this.
Why Sydney Sweeney is the current "it girl." She hasn't defaced her body the way so many others have.
Log in to vote
That was never a trend. Just a fringe thing. Its more the attitude that accompanies it than the look itself
Log in to vote
lol not about the look of being half bald? Dont you have a similar weirdo hairstyle

Wrt Sydney Sweeney: I think it's more about the naturally perfect big tits and supple young curves than the presence or lack of ink. At least it is for me.

@gamma - It is but they go together. Ink would ruin her look.
