awaiting lazy zing in 3...2...

That grey jumper suits you...

So the message here is that you're turned off by anyone who seems like a Watson twin?

they are examples. perhaps you have an antitype?

i considered that jpg myself, mr vague, but these things must be built slowly

I'm just checking that I have the point of the thread straight, gabb!

I don't know what anti-types I have left. It's kind of like vegetables: I feel like each passing year involves figuring out what's appealing about some "type" I'd never cared for in the past.

i was actually wonderin when that might show up

i am open to all types of babes, thick, skinny, smart, dumb, twee, overly cynical, hilarious, serious, slutty, prude, blonde, brunette, redhead, indie, rap, disco, blog house, glasses, no glasses

my antitype is chicks who are not babes

max would have sex with all of this white girls

is how he breaks it down to an extent

no fatteys.

I can also say with a high degree of certainty that my friend antitype would be any girl that would look at that picture and I posted above and say, "Oh my God they're so hot!".

there's this girl i'm sort a still acquainted with who went out with a friend of mine for awhile, and after they broke up amicably she started going out with a dude who was borderline-similar to the dudes in that pic. i think he's an amateur rapper or something. last time i saw them was at a party where he got stoned and broke a couple of my pint glasses.

i GIS "hipster douche" to find this pic

GIS otm

GIS for sweatpants + uggs didn't really yield anything usable.

yeah, Uggs + Juicy-butt sweatpants + giant sunglasses is the only thing I really hate.

lol midwestern college campus

Anti-type: assholes.

She has symmetrical eyebrow moles.

that is hypnotic

UGGS.

Always uggs.

uggs can come off

what is up with sorority girls

do you mean, "what is up, sorority girls?"

uggs can come off

but what it must take to get them on...

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaands

did you guys ever notice how indie girls dress

and how they wear their hair?

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaands

rubber gloves + tongs

them shits is for dirt dobbers

She has symmetrical eyebrow moles.

I think those might be the result of piercings being removed, actually!

BTW, gabb, I cave: this thread reminds me that I do have anti-types. I just can't put my finger on them without exceptions popping to mind. I think I need to concentrate on the "wouldn't crush on" part and not start thinking about how I don't mind or hate the type.

they look more like freckles than moles

just can't put my finger on them without exceptions popping to mind

well of course

Uggs and sweats might come off but the bleached hair + orange skin + airheadedness cannot be scrubbed clean.

Yeah it's not so much Uggs in and of themselves that makes them so awful, it's everything else about the girls on whose feet they're most likely to be found.

oh crap - that was me not Roberto.

Anti-type: assholes.

this

Maybe it's just NYC, but I think Uggs are fading as a reference point for this -- I feel like about 40% of people you pass in them are "the type of girl who wears Uggs" and the other 60% are just "girls who happen to be wearing Uggs." (I.e., they have thrown them on in winter about the same way people throw on flip-flops in summer, and do not think they are stylin'.)

Ha, I shouldn't say maybe that's just NYC; I guess I am pretty specifically talking about downtown Manhattan there

Really? I still just see "the type of girl who wears Uggs" in them around here.

i was in the suburbs for Thanksgiving, and i can tell you that Uggs are alive and well.

yeah, we;re different

i used to make so much fun of uggs now i dont even notice them

;_;

jocelyn wildenstein has really nice hair

http://i35.tinypic.com/fc68h4.gif

Yeah, I've talked about this on other threads, but I still don't get the hate for Uggs. They're boots, who cares. It does seem like most of the hate is about the kind of people that wear them more than the boots themselves.

That said, I can see myself crushing on a girl in Uggs and sweatpants, as long as she was sufficiently cute, but it would probably not be a swoony kind of crush.

Ha, as a reference point, I was just in the work elevator with a middle-aged woman clearly wearing Uggs in an "it's a little cold and my feet are tired" kind of way. This is totally Manhattan-centric, I know: the only people I see around here who seem to still think they're fly are people who look like they're either visiting or just came here for college.

I had no problem with Uggs until some women tried to wear them with shorts a couple of years back.

(elevator colleague was also wearing black yoga-type sweats, a black turtleneck, and a red sleeveless ski jacket, none of this in an "I am trying to look cool" way)

uggs are nasty and so are those leggings the young whippersnappers are wearing these days

I don't have, like, enormous built-up hate for them, rly, I just dismiss out-of-hand the people I see wearing them. In an "Pardon? Can you repeat that, please? It was drowned out by your footwear" kind of way.

http://i37.tinypic.com/24ln6dd.jpg

y'all cute'n all but these tattoos... no.

In fact, any tall, heavy boot worn with shorts is a deal breaker.

But okay anyway crush anti-types...Ummmmm...

I'm mostly hating on midwestern college girls and the way they dress.
Uggs+leggings=DO NOT WANT xpost

I regret turning this into ugg debate.

Basically, if i don't like your style, i ain't crushin'.

it almost comes down to cheeks/eyes/style for me, and uggs are an easy target for me to say no on the style front, utilitarian use aside (there are more utilitarian boots out there, and boots that i'm more attracted to)

i shopuld change uggs to any fucking eskimo colored fur boot

In fact, any tall, heavy boot worn with shorts is a deal breaker.

Okay maybe it's just 90s nostalgia on my part, but short shorts + combat boots is more of a deal maker for me.

(I went out with Tank Girl for a while)

for me: hipster types, i reflexively dislike them because i assume they thumb their noses at me. also the kind of guys who wear pink polo shirts, baseball caps, and those sailing loafer shoes and seem really comfortable and like they think they're on top of the world.

you guys crocs are so much worse than uggs.

I'm mostly hating on midwestern college girls

I'm suggest banning you for this.

Vegetarians are prob a anti-type for me? A friend of mine tried for a few months to set me up with someone who didn't drink, smoke, or eat meat. I may have mentioned this before because it continually amazes me that she would think that was a good idea.

crocs aren't angering, they're saddening

Don't worry, I was a midwestern college girl and I wouldn't have gone out with myself for even a quick second. Overalls and hiking boots = do not want ever again.

having lived in southern california (land of the perpetual casual friday) for a few years i've gotten more used to seeing bros with gigantic cargo shorts and hairy legs and crocs, and that is NOT A GOOD LOOK.

uggs > flip-flops

crocs really aren't any worse than flip flops

they're so much worse

b b b but brazilian girls in they havianas!!!

ILX: where the shoes are the windows of the soul

LOLZ

I think the only time I've been judgmental about people's footwear was in college, when I decided that my anti-crush was girls who wore sneakers as an everyday shoe. Other than that, I don't care all that much.

i dunno, i wear doc martens, so if it were still the 90s i'd have OG punkas crinkling their noses at me.

for personal standards reasons i ban myself from crocs, flip flops, etc., but chicks can wear whatever they want on their feet, i won't hate.

(i mean i'm nominally anti-ugg, but who really cares, right?)

Symmetrical tattoo 4 inches above buttcrack OTM

by the time i get close and personal with that area, the deal has been made

tramp stamp no? (xp)

what if the tatt is of a symmetrical uhg

freudian ugh

i gotta wonder about the young women who walk around with the ed hardy/juicy style logos written across their asses. it's like HI LOOK AT MY ASS PLEASE OH NO U DIDNT

tramp stamp of uggs might make a deal!

"decided that my anti-crush was girls who wore sneakers as an everyday shoe."

I am suggest banning you for this.

ian pls sug ban me too cause jaymc makes a great point

also, the girls with the tramp stamps look like the kind of people my sister would hang out (she has a tramp stamp.)

consider it done.

thanks

hating on sneaker is like hating on jeans or something, i just don't get it.

not hating on sneaker, but only owning/wearing sneakers

What if he was hating on white running shoes with company logos on them? NB: I have no idea if this is true.

i do prefer some much femininity in my female

that's is to say mine's own personal female ownerships

i don't get the hate for that either. what if the girl went to the gym that day? she's probably already brought clean clothes, is she supposed to bring extra shoes too?

I have nothing against Uggs, they're just current shorthand for the fake tan and dyed blond bimbo college girls that make up the vast majority of the student body I see daily. Five years from now the same girls will be wearing something different but they'll be the same type of girls and will still be my crush antitype.

im jealous of anyone who gets to wear sneakers every day

You know, someone said something recently on another thread about "Why is it hotter when a girl wears boots with a skirt than when she wears sneakers with a skirt, even though boots show less leg?" and I was like SKIRT + SNEAKERS THERE'S YR PROBLM RIGHT THERE /dusts hands off.

oh, laurel, you break my heart.

Good lord, these things all so depend on what else is going on with your style / personality / self-presentation, especially given that I'm not sure any of us what agree on any specific "type" that's pinpointed by "wears sneakers." I mean, I could crush on someone who only wore bright-orange Crocs, if this were some charming quirk in a woman so awesome that she could make it seem cool to wear bright-orange Crocs all the time.

Skirt + sneakers is awesome if you're an 80's business woman taking the subway to work in montage fashion.

ahh but it's still hotter when a girl wears boots with a skirt than if she wears heels with a skirt (though both are still hot)

http://forum.themace.net/Smileys/alive/itisamystery.gif

I don't know, laurel, I have seen some very fetching ladies in tennis skirts and sneakers...

http://www.nydailynews.com/img/2008/04/30/amd_juicy.jpg

laurel is wrong on this one, sorry lady
delicate sneaks (not like giant running shoes) + short flouncy skirt = a-ok

NOT OK:

dude with fake tan
dude with fake teeth
dude with fake hair

all of that applies to women as well. about no fake stuff. incl tittays.

what if the girl went to the gym that day?

That's why I said "as an everyday shoe." It was only an issue if you were wearing Nikes as your primary, default footwear -- I was more into girls who wore, I dunno, mary janes. But like I said, I was in college. I had photos of Christina Ricci on my wall.

especially tittays

dudes with fake tittays = also not ok

dude with fake teeth

are grills ok??

also, in my experience no woman with fake tittays is gonna be free of other issues

xp - if they are removable

They weren't talking about tennis skirts, they were talking abt girls they see around on the streets on, say, a weekday (since were comparing it to other work-wear). But whatev, those kinds of girls are my female anti as well.

dudes with soul patches

Who is not my female anti- = Rachel Maddow pre-TV makeover

guys, assholishness is a personality trait that may be found in a whole variety of types, but is not a type itself

similarly, while certain individual fashion choices may be descriptive, at least for some people, of a type, they perhaps fall more into the category of dealbreakers

i am talking about like clay aiken teeth
totally vile

dudes with soul patches
bruce s has a soul patch and we love him
but generally yes

chicks with soul patches

i can't fit those girls you posted at the top of the thread into any type at all!

xpost

springsteen can do whatever he wants, true. he gets a lifetime free pass.

but it's still hotter when a girl wears boots with a skirt than if she wears heels with a skirt (though both are still hot)

Uh, this depends on the skirt, the boot and the heel. A tea-length skirt or dress with a really nice heel = HAWT.

pear-shaped men in pleated pants

mostly they are just sad

Everyone seems to be listing dealbreakers gab. What is the difference?

no denying xxxp

refer to crush archetypes thread - lots of pics, or in the alternative, more elaborate descriptions

Gabb, what don't you like about the Bill Murray girls? I think they are cute.

Ummm, xp

i hate tea-length skirts! but have nothing against girls who sometimes wear them.

what does tea-length even mean?

is "thread police" a crush antitype or just a dealbreaker?

tea-length hits at mid calf. i find it very unflattering.

ugh, we had to wear tea-length dresses for all sorts of events in jr high/high school. so much laura ashley wrongness.

I hope a random googler comes along to talk about not being attracted to the type who'd post to this thread

(that is not a diss on this thread)

I'd do the Watson Twins. Whereas:

http://thelastgasp.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/cocorosie.jpg

why did this thread turn into a fashion discussion

i fucked it up, as per usual

i would like to know why gabb doesn't like the girls up top - both pics are cute

pear-shaped men in pleated pants

Child-bearing hips no nononono nonono

http://arrowsreach.com/_media/photos:ar_team.jpg

SCA members

maybe bill murray is the anti-crush, and not the girls

Although those guys look really happy, don't they? I can't begrudge them their happiness...but pls do not attempt to involve me in it.

i think i turned to dealbreakers (style) because I'm kinda into any and every type. it's in the details

Dude, Mandee, I will totally take a fashion thread over further ILX work sub-sorting people into "types" based on items they purchase

Manddee, I think gab Does Not Want because they are hipsters and look like they will think they're too cool for you.

i'm not a fan of the vacant glazed over hipster gaze either but sometimes those girls are secretly fun and genuine and cool

thing is if gabb starts dropping manhattan lawyer money it will no longer matter if he's cool or not

Anticrush type: The more-or-less clueless Indian/Southeast Asian guys who seem to be everywhere in Wburg right now? I keep seeing this type around: mostly polite but persistent, which makes the brush off occasionally difficult.

At the risk of sounding like an insufferable "scene girl", why do they try to pick up girls at events which are very much of a partic "scene" that they know nothing about? Seems like it wd be helpful to know your audience.

i think the vacant gaze on hipster girls/guys/ppl that you see in pictures is because those pictures are from bars where it is basically part of the deal that you have a vacant gaze because lol u drunk

Okay (a) it's a musician promo shot, they kinda have to look like they think they're cool, plus (b) when you have reached the point where you expect people who look like the freaking Watson Twins (i.e., what, girls who own vintage dresses?) to think they're way too cool for you, the problem has become yours more than theirs.

this entire thread is about problems becoming more yours than theirs

Haha Laurel = rockabilly bigot?

I don't know who the Watson twins are but I sort of agree w Nibs on that one.

xp Rockabilly not rly my thing but it will do as a stand-in.

Could be as simple as: this is a dance night. I am very happily dancing. Why do you think coming over to talk to me when a) I'm busy and b) you can't dance at all, will be more helpful than annoying?

because they want sexing

jmc, do you spell out for yourself (or others) why you do or don't like girls/boys? i don't. also, this thread is not about me.

since you asked, tho, what the hell - #1 could be the most attractive - good color mix - but the hair and makeup are rong, and the affect is pretty unpromising despite the quasi-cheerfulness. i'm guessing she'd seem uninteresting-to-annoying v fast. #2 seems potentially the most interesting/smartest - the one i'd want to talk to - but shallowness is suggested, and while she isn't totally unattractive, the aesthetics are boring at best. #3 could be nice in a quiet way, but at first (and second) glance is simply not interesting at all. (and the blue - is she colorblind or just a quasi-hipster?) she does remind me a little of a hs crush who went from glee club wallflower brain to sorority girl/bigshot lawyer, but mouths like that turn me off, especially as augmented.

xp

At the risk of sounding like an insufferable "scene girl"

^^^

Que, the only way they stand a chance is by being about 85% less annoying. The Catch-22 is that the only way I'd find them less annoying is if they stayed about 15' away from me.

Take it to the lazy zing thread.

the hair and makeup are rong

the haircut

did the hipster side of ilx get this racially specific in its snobbery in my absence, or did it always categorize as such and i didn't notice? i miss spencer chow

jmc, do you spell out for yourself (or others) why you do or don't like girls/boys?

Yes.

did the hipster side of ilx get this racially specific in its snobbery in my absence, or did it always categorize as such and i didn't notice? i miss spencer chow

I think it's just Laurel.

meee-OWWW!

i mean trying to talk and not dance during dancing times is lame, but is that really a type?

Laurel I can fully understand being annoyed with those who can't spot the difference between a dancing-oriented dancefloor and a pickup-oriented dancefloor, but this

Why do you think coming over to talk to me when a) I'm busy and b) you can't dance at all, will be more helpful than annoying?

is possibly overthinking an easily answered question

did the hipster side of ilx get this racially specific in its snobbery

Ah, this is me, and I'm sorry because yr posts on that decapitation article thread were v quality and I enjoyed them so I'm sorry to have offended. But Indian guys were zero-for-two with me on Saturday and the same thing has happened a lot lately and I wondered: is that just crazy optimism to go to any club at all and start hitting on people?

Laurel, we may've danced together...

(xpost) On the annoying pick-up attempts front, a guy came up to me at a bar recently and his opening line was to ask my opinion on his sweater and shoes. I really could not care less, and I forget what I said but I guess that was pretty clear because then he went on about how women judge him by his shoes the moment he walks in the door so they really are important and he wants to make sure they look good. Guys who want to talk about their clothes = NOT MY TYPE.

OTOH, perhaps he would've found more like minds among the men of ILX.

(Also, while I absolutely sympathize with the number of annoying, unwanted, occasionally horrifying approaches women have to deal with from men in social situations -- totally sympathize -- I sometimes have a hard time hating on dudes who aren't rude, inappropriate, over-persistent, or creepy about it, because we live in a society where the expectation is for men to go court women, and not all men are good at it, or likable, and what are they going to do, not try?)

Hahaha Maria a guy who tries to use his clothes as a chat-up is a long way from someone who just, like, pays attention to his clothes

PW, we've met before! Yr one of my mitten fellows. Do you frequent '60s/northern soul dance parties?

Going up to strangers and asking questions about sartorial aesthetics is transparently lame.

b b b but did we dance togehter???

I occasionally end up at that type of event, but don't seek them out per se.

I just go where drinking + dancing allows me to get lost.

^ Yes, asking about your clothes strikes me as betraying a social self-consciousness about them that people who regularly wear good clothes tend not to have

Well, say something if you see me. I don't think we've run into each other since you were DJing with whatshisface at the place that served pizza.

Although the fact that it was a freaking SWEATER maybe undercuts that -- what kind of sweater does anyone need to ask about? Maria, did it have asymmetrical cuts or weird buttons or something?

I don't think he actually was self-conscious about them, I think he was trying to be amusing or something. (Also, this was in Binghamton, NY, not a place where people get really competitive about fashion.) Really, I don't even know what kind of thought goes into making that seem like a good approach.

xpost - it was just a dark blue & gray argyle sweater. see, he made me remember, anyway!

well at the risk of being even more offensive to any terminal lurkers out there - not me - the crucial question to ask is: were these FOB South Asians, or second generation types?

FOBs directly from Asia have a VERY different dance floor culture, and you kind of have to account for that pre-classifying

is that just crazy optimism to go to any club at all and start hitting on people?

I would take this extension class.

i can only reach such levels of optimism when i'm drunk

yah it takes me a while

Maria, he just sounds annoying.

Well, say something if you see me. I don't think we've run into each other since you were DJing with whatshisface at the place that served pizza.

That's either be ilxor dan selzer or ilxor confounded (or possibly our other partner at that time).

I do remember having a conversation with you, although, the drunken haze was there since those were my HEAVY drinking days (and I was much heavier then to show for it).

You are not my crush antitype.

thing is if gabb starts dropping manhattan lawyer money it will no longer matter if he's cool or not

uh

yeah i just sort of assumed that you were a manhattan lawyer who could really wine and dine a lady

take it to It's 4:00 ET, It's the new flirting thread, because oops ruined the other one

xp

Does not having an antitype mean I'm easy?

Hmm, Laurel, my experience (possibly) similar to yours had the guy wanting me to lead.

i'm a celibate with no sense of humour.

skinny chix

Yes. I don't want a girl who thinks she can't eat ice cream.

FYI I dig on skinny chicks so u can throw em my way

I've never been with a skinny girl because I'm afraid we would sound like a balsa wind chime.

Crush anti-type, any ex- ever.

Men whose bellies suggest end of first trimester in Rabbit Test.

thats me :(
