While I don't find mutilating art to be attractive, I try to look at the person’s actions and words rather than how they look.

But I must admit that is a lie. If I see an attractive girl at a distance and once I get closer, I see a shiny pimple protruding from the side of her nose, I will admit that it turns me off.

I don’t mind tats, but piercings just seem to tribal to me.

On the other hand, as a person gets older, piercings can close if the individual looks into the mirror and decides that it just looks creepy at their age. Slap ‘em in a new set of clothes and they look just like anybody else.

However I have seen older folk who may have looked good with their tats younger and just now look…silly, would be the polite word.

I always chuckle when I see a woman with her belly button pierced, even though she has a large muffin top. I don't know if I'll laugh or puke when I see some guy with a tribal tat around the belly button (A rage in the 80's) who suffers from Dunlaps disease.

I'd have to agree with the poster who said people largely do these things for themselves, and not as some "look at me" thing, although I suspect there are many who do this also. I guess it's just a sign of the times, and this is the current fad among the younguns...

I have dated women with piercings, some sexy, some I wish I could just tear out, but knowing the person and their motives behind getting something like that is more important to me than what the piercing actually looks like. I can remember my father, who is around your age (I read the other thread btw ), going off his rocker at me and my brother over ear piercings in the late 80s. Now I have a ten year old daughter who asked me recently when she can get her first body piercing. Will I stop her? At the moment, yes, but come age 14 or 15, if she still wants to go through with it, I see no reason not to. Piercings aren't permanent, take them out, they close up. That is coming from someone who has had them in the past, so really, no. I don't find them annoying to the degree you do...

Did it occur to you that it makes them feel attractive just for themselves? Not all women do things with the intent to attract someone. Sometimes we do things that make us feel pretty because it simply makes us feel pretty; added bonus if someone we desire likes it too...and chances are, if they're into piercing etc, they're hanging out with groups that are also into piercing or will attract people from outside the group whom are into piercings or other body modifications.

I admit it, I'm old and set in my ways. Don't know when I became a dinosaur but I think it was when kids started putting ketchup hot dogs. When I was a kid we used MUSTARD! Dang kids these days.

Good, can you tell your friends: it's not working. Yikes!



Nothing hanging from the nostrils is pretty.
