Things That Are Overrated

I like long hair on girls but I don’t have it myself. It’s not that I think I’d look bad, it’s that I get headaches unless I buzz my hair very closely. But I also agree that big boobs are overrated (well, not on guys, cause they’re bad on guys too but they’re not overrated :))

Most alcoholic drinks except red wine. Okay, and around half of all red wines as well.

Cookie dough anything, other than, of course, for baking cookies!

In ice cream and milkshakes? Let it go already.

Also including green tea (next it will show up in detergent !), and ultra high caffeine drinks!

I bow to your experience. I’m not a woman, nor do I have long hair (I’ve practically no hair - I trim it scalp close), but as a black man I’ve been in innumerable conversations with other black men about what’s attractive. A great deal of it was summed up by Sir Mix-A-Lot (though that’s not my own preference), but the talk has ranged over the whole of female anatomy and long hair hasn’t come up once. Hence my own “yeah, right” reaction to the above.

I’m thinking age might be a factor, as I’m in my 40s; long hair isn’t common in my age group.

It’s mostly overrated for natives. If you lived here, you’d choke on the ridiculous amount of state pride. It doesn’t just border on fanatical, it kills that puppy like a former marine sniper in a bell tower. < shudder >

Two more from me…

The color pink
Being girlie
Maybe those should be related? :stuck_out_tongue:

Tropical beaches.

Cupcakes. I mean, I like cake, but just making small ones and dumping a shit ton of icing and sparkly crap on doesn’t actually improve them.

Also bacon.

Starbucks
Big Boobs
Meat
The Mellow Mushroom
God
Gold
Hot Tubs

The traditional way, or with two wheelchairs?

Gosh that was funny.

Yeah, I don’t hear that from a lot of black men, either.

Blackberry, if you have long hair, that’s why you are hearing that. Black men will do that. I’m a big girl, so I hear from black men all the time about how they just LOOOVVVVVEEEE a big woman. Yeah, whatever, dude.

On the other hand, lots of black women use harsh chemicals which prevent long hair. I can see how the rarity of long hair would make black men love it more than your average guy.

I don’t know. Sorry, Alice, I will address your OP:

Home ownership is overrated. My family members who decided to do it all complain and cry about it now. To be fair, I have never owned a home, but I just can’t imagine it being something I ever want to do, let alone it being the American Dream.

And Alice, I always wondered about sex underwater. Something told me it wouldn’t be great. I know sex on the beach sucks.

Starbucks

NFL

The Keg Restaurant

Nickelback

Methamphetamine

Religion

Big Macs-greasy, tasteless, and chock full of bad stuff

You’re doing it wrong

Cell phones

Wha? Ok. That’s the game we’re playing? Fine. My answer is ‘medicine’.

Neck ties
All distilled spirits & most wine (but all beer is great, even the cheapest)
New cars
Motor sports
Athletic scholarships (only scholars should get scholarships)
Big bewbs (big is not bad mind you, but medium to small are just as good)
Long nails (ridiculous)
Nail polish (ridiculous)
Most make up
Underwear (except thongs on women, and I guess bras are necessary for sports)
Perfume-cologne-aftershave (some perfumes give me hours-long coughing attacks)
Most brewed coffee
Tea bags
Caviar (cannot stand the stuff, it literally makes me sick)
Buttermilk
Pimento cheese
Religion
Almost all English poetry since about 1900
Almost all pop music since about 1985
Rap
Home ownership

This is fun, I may do another.

“Fight Club”, but I think I just broke a rule by mentioning it. It’s not bad, I just didn’t think it was as great as so many people I heard made it out to be.

New Years Eve

I’m always wondering when I’ll be too old to pull off long hair. I’m 30 and my mom said 30-year-olds used to look more grown up than they do now. She said it I want people to start thinking I’m a real adult I should cut my hair and dress more formal. Not happening :frowning:

But nobody tells me they love hazel eyes.

Yeah, I think that’s probably why. Also I think men tend to like long hair in general anyway.

Yeah, that’s stupid.

Wrong! California is amazeballs.

Wrong! Getting what you want is the awesomest thing that there is. I will trample over orphaned babies to get my way.

I’m a woman and date black men. I have shoulder length hair, and it seems we’re not really on the same wavelength here. I think men in general regardless of race, all things equal, prefer long hair to short. That said, I also have found most don’t get too crazy about it though. Most don’t seem to go in for super duper short hair, but outside of that, so long as you’re pretty and your hair looks nice, meh. Like others have said, you’re going to get complimented on whatever it is you look like. Do men everywhere love women who look just like me? No, but the ones who are attracted to me do.

But anyway, things that are overrated in my book: I dunno, mimosas I guess. Way too filling without enough pay off. Oh, and all foods that take two really awesome things and then combine them. They never taste like a synergy of fantasticness. They always end up tasting like a good thing ruined by doing something silly to it. I’m looking at you, lobster corndogs.
