What trends/ habbits that everybody is into or doing completely went by you?

[qwer1234]

For me it's:

- "Apple" products in general and iPhone in particular. Up to this day I don't have a smartphone and don't planning on purchasing one. I still got my 20 bucks mobile phone (which is even overpriced).

- "Twitter" is another I don't understand. Seriously what's the deal behind these short messages? Why would I tweet and why would I want to read others' tweet?

- "Facebook" is another. OK, I admit, in the beginning it was cool to see what others' are doing. But knowing people in person and having a deep personal relationship is more satisfying than just seeing them on the computer screen.

- "watching sports". I don't get why there are fat people watching trained people doing sports. I don't watch sports but playing sports myself. The only "sport" I watch are skateboard videos but only to do the tricks myself. Most people who watch sport never do sport themselves. Instead they're only watching while eating chips and drinking beer.

Do you agree or disagree? What trends/ habbits that everybody is into or doing completely went by you?

I can't really answer for the main part of the question, but responding to your questions at the bottom: I disagree.

I watch sports because they're enjoyable to watch. Thinking that out of shape people sit around and watch sports is only one side of many. I watch Formula one and MotoGP because I like racing sports and there's no realistic way for me to do that myself. I watch college and pro football again because it's gripping and I can't perform at that level myself. And finally, I watch MMA because I enjoy the amount of training and skill that goes into that sport, but I don't feel that sport would be for me to do personally.

So yeah, it seems you have a narrow, opinionated view of what watching sports is all about. If you don't watch them for your own reasons, that's fine. Just don't apply some huge, inaccurate statement to the rest of sports-watchers based off your own opinion to the matter. In other, more pressing areas of life, that is a dangerous way to conjure up an opinion of your own and actually start believing it, even if it's wildly and ignorantly false.

I said "most people". BTW: I don't consider F1 to be a sport at all.

Right, I read that part and that's why I responded. Not everyone can (or has to be) a pro footballer in their capability to be able to watch it. At least that's not enough to warrant such a bold assumption about "most people" when it's not even true. Do you see what I mean?

And that's fine, you don't have to consider it a sport. Doesn't mean that it's not, just that you don't think it is.

[qwer1234]

I see your point. For you watching sports is like going to the circus and get entertained about others' skills, right? I think that's fine and there's nothing wrong with that. But I always want to do it myself.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah, that's fine. I guess a situation that *kind of* relates is that other than sports and movies, I hardly watch TV just because I'd rather be up and out doing something else rather than watch stupid reality shows or whatnot.

But yeah, soccer (football) is popular there in Germany right? Just think of how many professional soccer players there are vs. how many people overall play soccer (for hobby or amateur sports). You don't see people of that caliber often, so it's interesting to watch

-Drinking, never see the need to drink. Have tried it but hated the way it tasted.

-Partying, never been a party person.

-Ipods, overpriced and will never buy one.

-Drugs, never done drugs.

-Smoking

-Tattoo

- Smoking: it's f***ing gross and bad for you, and it's really unappealing and a huge turn off. Smokers should expect that is usually a deal breaker when it comes to dating especially if they are pursuing a non smoker.

- Twitter: it's for "twits" lol. I don't get it. Everybody and their mother seems to be on it.

- Using drugs.

- Ugg boots: They're ugly as f*ck.

- Justin Bieber: he's NOT good and have you seen him lately? He's trying so hard to be "ghetto" or whatever.

- Watching any shows like Jersey Shore, Big Brother, Bachelorette, Real Housewives of Wherever, and any of those dancing and singing shows.

- Wearing leggings as pants: It looks so bad, at least put a skirt over your butt!

[Ingrid422]

- Dying my hair (I never will. I'm a natural blonde)

- Manicures, pedicures and spas

- Pinterest

- One Direction and all teeny bopper stars these days

- Tattoos and piercings

- Backpacking trip and student exchanges (I know a gazillion people and that did these.)

- Tablets

- iPhone, iPod touch

[Daph81]

- Apple products - overpriced. Many people bought it just for the prestige. I'm an Android gal all the way!

- Twitter too, I don't see the point of it

- Partying

- Ugg boots - they look fugly and make your legs look like elephant legs

- chunky statement jewlery - tacky and so not feminine. Looks like something a 4-year-old would wear

- cat-eye makeup - doesn't look good on me

- dating with "rules". - too tiring and not fun

[Anonymous]

Hair crimping - never liked the look, never did it.

Facebook and Twitter - I've never had an account with either.

Partying - it's just never really been my thing.

Crocs and uggs - not my style.

Those are the things that come to mind right now :-)

[qwer1234]

i agree with partying. For me partying is always the same sh!t. Only the people are different.

[Opinion Owner]

Exactly.

And they're usually acting like morons because they're drunk and/or high.

I get tired of that. Haha!
