Things That Are Overrated

Can’t say I ever thought of potato salad as being rated that highly in the first place. Lobster, maybe. Cupcakes. Demerol. 3D movies. The Smartest Board on the Internet.

You’re doing it wrong.

I agree. Also conservatism.

hope you’re joking. I have never, in my whole life, heard a black man say this. I’ve heard lots of black women say it, but never once a man. A co-worker went out to lunch with another co-worker, a young Hispanic lady with waist-length hair, and they were followed back to the office by 3 black women loudly proclaiming he was only with her because of the hair; the dude is gay, and last time I saw his lover the guy had a crew cut.

ps: we never talk about your nails, either.

“Hair long. Money long. Me and broke niggas, we don’t get along!” :smiley:

Chunks of chocolate in ice cream.
They are not tasty. They are not fun. They are hard and waxy. The most perfect ice cream is breyers triple chocolate with a dollop of thick caramel.

K well are you a woman with long hair who dates black men? Obviously not because if you were, you’d have heard it eleventy billion times.

Texas, faithfool? I hardly know a soul who doesn’t throw up in their mouth when that wretched state is mentioned.

Maybe they’re STILL overrating it, and they should be performing seppeku when it’s mentioned instead.

Meh, my first post may as well be a rant. Ok - things that I see as being overrated:

Liking indie/non-mainstream music because it’s indie/non-mainstream. Sure, a lot of mainstream music sucks, but some of it doesn’t, and IMHO you shouldn’t dislike a musician/band because of how commercial they are.

Peanut butter and jelly. PB belongs with a chocolate spread (I have a feeling I may get slated for that one).

Warm weather.

TV shows about some adorably quirky protagonist who just comes off as being extremely annoying (e.g New Girl), and who inevitably ends up living with/being with someone who is ‘hot’ and ‘cool’.

Well Jamie, you just took it to a new level! Most of those dudes love long hair on women but don’t actually want it themselves. I did have that happen once, with a former crip from L.A. He was running his fingers through my hair all lovingly (which they all do) but then says all wistfully, “I miss my long hair…” I was dying. I would say that’s when I realized me and dude had nothing in common, but I had actually realized it long before that (still my buddy though!).

Red wine. (actually, most alcoholic drinks)
Dr Who.
Quentin Tarantino.

rather too complicated for the spirit of this thread but absolutely correct.
There is a solid case to be made for both the Boxster and MX5 to be the best sports cars of last 50 years in terms of simple bang-for buck and elegant execution.

In general, over-complicated and fancified stuff is often over-rated.

So for me - Tropical beach holidays, new years eve, fancy dress parties

Champagne
Diamonds
Big Bang Theory.

Beer
Diamonds
Having big boobs
Wealth
Fame
Sports
Grad School
Ivy Leagues
Dance/club music
The Princess Bride. Yes, I went there.

Boobs are never over rated.

everyone else’s opinion

Notice I said having big boobs. For the person with the boobs, yes, I think having big boobs is overrated.

I’d like to have a few boobs close to me. Big, small… I am easily pleased :slight_smile:

Lol I’ll add another for any Brits on here – Chelsea football club.

And as someone with mid-sized boobs, I am ambivalent on the issue. Though I do know someone with a 38E bra size who complains about black eyes when jogging.

Three ways.
