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 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.

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

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.

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.
