Pet peeve - eyebrow plucking

Blue88 · 12-13-2001, 02:22 PM

Ladies - stop plucking out your eyebrows! More and more I see women with either half-brows (where the ends were so tapered that they didn't exist anymore) or paint-ons (where the whole thing was plucked off and had to be filled back in). They look horrible! Where did the whole eyebrow hating movement come from? Let them be!

Coupe Devil · 12-13-2001, 02:32 PM

Sensing a little pent up aggression. thats ok though. I totally agree with I just dont see the point of putting yourself through that much pain (and you know it hurts because you twitch everythime you do it ladies) and then drawing them back on. thats like a guy drawig on a mustache or a goatee. I guess its a good thing that women aren't plucking nose or ear hair and drawing that back on though. Eww thats nasty now that I think about it.

1BAD89 · 12-13-2001, 03:13 PM

Would you rather them be like sasquatch, and have huge eyebrows that cover up their eyes? If they want to do it go for it. 90% of the time it looks better.

GTGrl00 · 12-13-2001, 03:17 PM

Aw...come on guys, would you rather us run around with a unibrow or better yet with bushy furby eyebrows, I think not!

I get my brows waxed, its a much quicker and cleaner way to do your eyebrows as opposed to plucking. Wow, Blue88 are you sick of your girl doing her brows? I do have to agree with you on the plucking all your eyebrow hair out just to fill it in, makes no sense to me. Could you imagine waking up next to a girl with no eyebrows! ewwww.

6T9PONY · 12-13-2001, 04:08 PM

I've actually heard of girls getting their eyebrows waxed completely off and then having fake ones tattooed on. Now that's pathetic. What a waste of money, and pain!

No bushy eyebrows.

And no fat chicks.

Oh come on man. Fat chicks need loving too!!!

Haha...j/k....sick.....

Blue88 · 12-13-2001, 04:21 PM

Her eyebrows are just fine - not a unibrow, not half-brows, just decent-sized eyebrows. I think most women could leave their eyebrows alone and they'd be OK.

Feel free to keep plucking those chin hairs, though

Ok so I was doing fine until the Furby part. Thats just sick and twisted. And I agree with 89 Cobra LX. No fat chicks or the truck will scrape.

You people disappoint me...truly. You don't like fat chicks? Don't date them, but don't rag on them either. Why is it any of your concern anyways?

You're probably thinking, ooooo she's fat, so she's mad.

Well, I'm not now, but I was at one time, and its funny how everyone has an opinion about how someone else looks. To be honest, I didn't even realize how much it hurts until I was finally on the receiving end of mean comments, and I ruined my system trying to lose weight the wrong way to impress the wrong people. Its easy to tell someone to not pay attention, but hard to make them believe it.

Just....next time you want to make a crappy comment (I know how queer this sounds) but seriously, think about how crappy it makes them feel, especially if they were just minding their own business.

As for the eyebrow thing, many women pluck their eyebrows every day, and you don't even notice. Why? Because it looks nice. I agree about the painting them on...looks stupid and bye bye brow in the rain

GTGrl00 · 12-13-2001, 06:26 PM

Gosh Guys...being a little harsh here aren't we? How did we go from eyebrow plucking to fat chicks? Seriously I gotta agree with Mustangbelle(hey girl how ya been?, I hardly see you here any more.

). I thought you guys here were above all that BS. I mean everyone has a right to their own opinion and prefrence, but keep in mind who's feelings you might be hurting.

1969Mach1 · 12-13-2001, 06:50 PM

Don't classify me in this. I love fat chicks. My bumber sticker says I honk for fat chicks.

And the harrier the better. lol There just joking. I have nothing agaist fat woman, apparently studies show they are better in bed.

Never tried it though. As for the eyebrow thing, I am not a big fan of them totally gone but I'm just glad I am not a girl so I don't go threw the pain that they go threw to make themselves look good for guys.

From the 40s!

Women gotta do what women gotta do to get respect and avoid criticism, at almost any cost. That criticism comes from both men AND other women, so most gals are trying to literally please EVERYBODY! It is a hopeless endeavor.

Big butt, little butt; big boobs, little boobs; tall, short; fat chicks, skinny chicks; blonde, brunette, whatever. Everybody has a comment no matter what you do.

A-freekin-MEN!!!

Especially when dudes hear about you having a Mustang, and the first they ask about you is if you're cute, not if you're fast, or do your own work...

OnMy3rdStang · 12-13-2001, 09:34 PM

I think it would be funny to pour water on a girl that shaved off her eyebrows and drew themback in. Hahhahaha

TXinPA · 12-13-2001, 09:48 PM

who cares what the world thinks, just look the way you want to look, unless you are a stud in a rug that dances to disco with bowlegged babes...... with painted on eyebrows, a slab of warpaint ...aka. makeup... and you drive a chevette with a bumper sticker that says honk if you love your toupee.

my new pet peev= people who pluck boogers from their snout in plain sight, and then look at them before wipeing them on a doorknob

ok, time to go take my pills...........

1969Mach1 · 12-13-2001, 10:17 PM

Everyone has there right to their opinion, and the way they want to look, act or go appon in there life. I say to alot of people that complain about me. If you don't like me then go **** yourself 'cause I don't care. This is me and I'm not here to impress anyone.

Also sorry if I offended anyone.

Mustangbelle306 · 12-13-2001, 10:59 PM

Nah I totally agree with you guys. That's my point...love yourself...and don't be like me and let the a$$holes get to you.

I mean, besides the emotional part...what's so funny about saying a fat chick makes the truck scrape? #1, how would you know

and #2, how is that humorous? I mean, if you actually have someone in your truck that makes it scrape, obviously you did a sh!tty job lowering the POS, or you got your goat/sheep/pig out in the bed

Personally I think it's retarded high school humor. Right up there with the yo momma jokes and you know you're a redneck

Unit 5302 · 12-13-2001, 11:21 PM

Either that, or he's a fat *** and two really fat people in the same truck cause issues?

Girls move up and down as far as appearance to me based a LOT on how much I like their personality. Generally the first thing you see is a persons physical appearance, unless you're on the net, or on the phone, etc. I was talking to a girl online some months ago, I had no idea she would be such a hottie when I first saw her pic. I'm sure liking her as a person made her even cuter, but the bottom line is, if I didn't get to know her as a person, I might not think she's was as cute as she was to me.

I would say there IS a lot you can tell about a person in their everyday appearance, but making such a hard and fast stand on a particular physical attribute certainly limits your ability to find somebody you really like.

The redneck jokes are still funny, if you see these people in person.

IE You might be a redneck if you use the cigarette wrapper as dental floss. (I've seen this done. Definate redneck behavior)

Mr 5 0 · 12-14-2001, 12:42 PM

Personally, I prefer thin (but natural - not painted) eyebrows to thick ones on ladies, which is what 'Mrs. 5.0' maintains, so all is well in our house on that important area of facial grooming.

As for the 'fat chicks' issue; I find it's easier to simply accept people the way they are, including fat women, bald men, whatever, and I make it a point to never, ever comment on anyones appearance. Saves a lot of hurt and hassle on both ends and frankly, someones weight is really not my concern. I assume that a fat guy or girl has a mirror and a scale and they know exactly how heavy they are and how they look. My comments are not necessary.

I do feel bad for some really obese women I've worked with (400 - 500 pounds) as I know that they'll have serious joint and heart problems by the time they hit 40. Still, it's not my place to comment on it. I'm not their doctor.
