What’s something that people think makes them look cool but actually has the opposite effect?

I can't stand those earplugs in the picture. The dude looks like poser 3000... probably had to black out the tattoos because they're white supreme in nature... just a wild guess since there is the AB eagle on his chest (Arian Brotherhood) which literally comes off a gay ass buttMiser can... a chest that looks like he's never done 10 pushups in a row.

Instead of all that ink, implants, and bullshit... the guy needs physical exercise.

Poser 3000... I'm guessing a Napoleon complex. That's like a try-hard trying to look hard. Jail time might be his greatest achievement.

Definitely tats and piercings. Also, weird colored hair. And women wearing too much makeup - big, fake eyelashes; thick eye liner; obvious eye shadow; and gaudy lipstick. Oh, and also lip injections and implants to make their boobs and butts bigger.

[Lliam]

Thanks for the MHO, Camilla. :-)

[camillaopez1]

You really welcome

It's all a matter of what you like. If a body of tats doesn't do it for you, it's not cool. If a mullet is too off, then that, too, doesn't work. Pants hanging down below your ass... big, big people wearing body-hugging clothes, plunging necklines that are, practically, nipple and rib views!

Being in the "moderate" lane of fashion, hair and body art just about guarantees you don't look ridiculous.

You CAN be artsy, tasteful and cool AND be unique.

But sometimes, too much is just that.

Baseball caps

Really? I didn't expect this answer. Why?

[purplepoppy]

Makes you look childish

[SamIam96]

Good to know.

While googling books on Amazon, I notice many people who swear in their title page seem to attract a highly volume of book reviews. I don't think swearing is cool and most of my friends don't either but you have that minority group that thinks swearing is cool cause they view it as more honest than socially polite courtesies and tokens of moderation. There is a certain group of people that consider all kindness to be fake. I know a lot of nice people that people say are fake, not because they do anything that makes them contradict other things they said or did so you could logically analyze deduce they are fake, but simply because they are nicer than others and that kindness does not seem to have a foundational connection to the reality their depressed minds dwell in.

The stuff in the picture, wear their pants with the waist band below their crotch, scrape their feet as they walk, wear oversized t-shirts that could be worn as a dress, get blue, green, pink or purple hair, shave their head, wear way too much make-up, wear hoodies or parkas all closed up in the summer time on the hottest day of the year (because EVERYONE wants to hang out with someone that's a sweaty, smelly mess or too stupid to know how to dress according to the weather!), wearing huge personalized license plates for earrings, not bothering to tie your shoes, wearing a huge kitchen clock as a pendant... etc..

[DaBiggestBird]

Dressing like they’re from the hood, when in reality they’re more washed than the clothes I folded earlier today. Figuratively speaking of course, people like that either don’t shower or only shower in the morning acting like they discovered some revolutionary upgrade to their lifestyle, but really it’s just as redundant as their birth certificate since it if FOR SURE actually an apology letter from the sperm bank. I mean seriously, what is the logic if any behind that? You wake up, shower, get dirty and then go to bed like that stinking up your sheets, and then doing that over again. It’s like using a hairdryer in the middle of rain.

[HaveNoName]

Tattoos and piercing will be an obvious answer so I will not touch that. Other than that:

Being loud, cocky and assertive with others around your wife or girlfriend.

Being drunk and funny. (Well, being drunk anyway).

Being a tomboy (in terms of clothes and bodily gestures).

Being religion thumper / being God denier.

Men wearing gold jewelry.

Men having long hair, specially when you cannot tell from a distance whether you are a man or a woman.

Cosmetic surgery (unless it is correcting a real deformation).

Being a rash and/or fast driver.

Motorbikers flying on highways.

Men wearing sleeveless outside gym, beach or the pool.

Women wearing fancy footwear exposing the feet when they look like gorilla feet.

Crocs. (Ughhhhhhhhh).

[mooky06]

Personally the mullet. It’s been around for centuries haha but it’s been more trendy nowadays and i’m just like “bro wtf *facepalm*”

[KrakenAttackin]

@mooky06. He cuts his own hair, so go easy on him.

[mooky06]

@KrakenAttackin haha then there’s guys out there who go to the barbers to get that done 😅

[Ms_Facesitter]

Guys in their cars making that engine scream for help for the whole street to hear.

[jshm2]

Their ego.

Few people have an ego others will like.

As for the pic. that's not done to be "cool" that's some gang affiliation in there.

People get a shitty tattoo on their wrist to be "cool". Also, so they can complain about "discrimination".

[Somoneelse]

Tattoo's, using drugs, being disrespectfull to people of the other sex (or people in general, abusing animals, destroying stuff, enormous piercings/earrings, loud cars/motorcycles and stealing. a lot of these are typical "Look how bad-ass I am! I am the coolest person in the group" behaviour. Trying to look cool for others while making a embarasment of yourself.

[Fireguy17]

everyone has different tastes as to what they like, think is cool, or no way would I do that to myself.
I am one of those that would not do that to myself.
But in a certain sect he would fit right in and be part of the norm.

[wiltingrosepetal]

I would go to my school bathroom and push past girls doing tiktok dances or vaping. Neither are cool. Both will always be pathetic.

[strateguy632]

any large tattoo even one. they think cool but it can be a turn off.

also piercings people think they are cool "i dont care" but what you dont care about is how it looks gross.

[Amara_09]

Fighting is cool when you are on the right side but when you use it to in other means like bullying? That’s not cool.

[RavVid]

I think you have it. The guy in the pic should not have over invested in one night stands. The whole arm sleeve is a dead give away of girls past.

[AviatorTom]

That picture only looks "cool" to a small minority of the population. His money for all those tats could have been put to much better use.

[MrOracle]

Those big black patches are vover-ups/blackouts. Could be gang affiliated or just bad tattoo work that is too extensive to remove. It's like tripling down on the mistakes.

[KrakenAttackin]

@AviatorTom. Those are jail house tats.

[Kingofkings1992]

Those are prison tattoos, Lol. Take it from someone who has 11 tattoos, that work was not done in a professional setting.

[Elliegirl]

Huge gauges in their ears, face tattoos, and mullets

[RebelinSteel]

I was going to say baseball caps but @purplepoppy beat me to it. Ridiculously low jeans, fake tans on guys that I can never get.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Going overboard with tattoos and piercings. There's a difference between using your body as a canvas, and pouring a can of paint mixed with nails on yourself.

[IslaTheWitch]

Wearing clothes a few sizes too small doesn't make them look thinner... :D

[Sharkstealth]

I hate people who think that everybody wants to hear their shitty ass music that they are trying to broadcast publicly.

[Paul09]

Cigarettes, thicc makeup, fake eyelashes, fake long nails, unneeded surgeries, Botox , the rape, torture and unnecessary slaughtering of innocent lives. The list can go on and on.
