She’s young enough to be my daughter (borderline granddaughter), and I genuinely don’t date women more than 8-10 years younger than me. If I was of the right age though, sure, she’s pretty so that’s all most men need to start a conversation. From there you can find out if she’s a huge psychotic flaming bitch pretty quickly (if you know what to look for) and if not most guys would be interested in pursuing it further. ---

> [@The\_Hamster\_King](#): > > Yeah, this is the second thread **GovernmentMan** has started recently about hipsters. I get the feeling there’s some agenda here that hasn’t been revealed yet. I think this must be an assignment for a creative writing class: Take a random video of a stranger and invent a back story for her. He is using this board to test whether his idea about making her a hipster will sound plausible. I’m not buying the hipster angle. I’m just seeing an ordinary teenage girl with a guitar/singing hobby. Do I like her? What’s not to like? She is quite pretty and has some musical talent. I’d like to get to know her. ---

Not really. I’m not big into fashion and unless it’s a topic I care about (realist Munich-school phenomenology, music without lyrics in general, French symbolist poetry, early 20th-C logic), I don’t give a shit about their Hello Kitty ironic T-shirt and funny glasses. We’d have nothing to talk about, and she’d give me plenty to be annoyed about, what with her wasting my time with drivel. Posted in wrong thread by accident, something else about hipsters – movies, I think. ---

Who gives a shit if she’s a hipster? Some hipsters are presumably douchebags and some are presumably nice people. ---

Is it the abstract notion of hipsterism that turns you off or some specific set of traits? And does this particular girl have any of those traits? Because, like others, this specific individual just looks like a very attractive girl who can sing and play the guitar a bit. Not only do I not see any particular “hipster” characteristics, but also the clip at all doesn’t really reveal anything I would consider a negative trait either. ---

How does she not look like a hipster? She looks exactly like the kind of girl that would like the indie artsy movies and music she listed on her profile. > [@monstro](#): > > See, when you said “hipster” I was thinking something more along the lines of: > > -wears hipster glasses > -wears a t-shirt printed with some sarcastic, smart-ass statement > -has dark hair–either styled in some retro way or short and boyish > -is of normal weight or perhaps a little chubby > -maybe just a tad androgynous (i.e., not “cute”) > > The girl in that video meets none of these cliches. > > Maybe I just don’t know the lingo anymore. That’s just the stereotype that the internet’s latched on to. (except for having dark hair and being chubby. don’t think i’ve heard that before) There are the goofy ones, the clubby ones, the trashy ones. This girl is more like the twee / artsy kind. She looks like the type that would have an apartment that looked like this : [Imgur: The magic of the Internet](http://i.imgur.com/O0glj.jpg) > [@Angel\_of\_the\_Lord](#): > > She’s pretty.

I guess I’m the odd ball. But as soon as I saw she was going to play guitar. The…is she a hipster label shit went out the window, and was hoping to hear some good music. She was good but just ain’t my cup of tea when it comes to the style of music I usually listen too. ---
