I doubt you are actually doing any hiring in the gig service industry then. I don't have a problem with any of it, but they are hiring anyone actually willing to work. Gone are the days where you can be picky unless you are Ruth's Chris. And I'm with "who cares?"
I don't really care, but it does seem like a decent number of girls go out of their way to make themselves unattractive, I suspect because they know if they tried they still be relatively average looking and that's their way of pretending they don't care. Like a girl flaunting her arm pit hair. Loading up facial piercings. Stretching out her ear lobes (actually, this is one I care about; grosses me out and I would prefer not to look at it while eating). Etc.
I am 100% sure you don’t have to worry about this.
Hiring people is at best a crap shoot most of the time. I don’t think most young people realize that the tats and piercings put them at a real disadvantage in the job market. If you interview a half dozen candidates for a job and one of them is pierced in random places it sends up red flags real quick. They don’t make the cut. They may actually be an excellent candidate for the job but their appearance just says hey I might be irresponsible. It’s unfortunate, but that’s just the way it is. Imagine that you have two young men applicants. Both individuals interviewed about the same but one is covered in tats and piercings and the other one is a clean cut guy that looks a lot like Jake Mangum. If it’s my decision ( yes I am old ) the Mangum look alike gets the offer every time. I did t hire them but I have worked with a few people that embraced the tat piercing image and while they were nice folks from a work perspective they were always a disaster. I’m glad that I don’t have to make those decisions anymore.
Nowhere in your post did you mention any of this happening.
Haha yeah I draw the line at arm pit hair… I don’t really care for tattoos, although I wouldn’t say they are unattractive, just not my thing. I don’t mind nose rings, although I’m not sure I’d like the bull ring described by the OP.
Sometimes tattoos are sexy, but the lack of foresight would be a major redflag to me for anything but a hookup. Have these girls really never seen a hard ridden 40 year old at the beach with faded tattoos? They never think to ask what tattoos look like after 20 years? Or do they know and just think 20 years is too far in the future to worry about?
But how else can she earn respect from the male rafting guides?
My better half has a couple. The first one she got 20+ years ago and it looks fine.
Correct, I’m not hiring in the food service industry. I’m in aerospace and defense hiring engineers and scientists. Good point about the food service folks hiring anyone they can find.
I know a girl who lost her entire nasal septum to an infected nose ring.
it s not odd ... it s effin nasty
If that possibility bothers you, you are welcome to move to the blue state of your choice. I'd recommend California, New York, and Michigan in that order to start the process.
In the late 1990s, we considered females with tattoos and/or who smoked easy targets. I imagine these nose ringed thots give off the same vibe.
1. I love when some ash hat has to put in his two cents and then say “lock it up”. Petulant beyotch.
Ha naw I don’t think so. I’d imagine a large percentage of women under the age of 40 have a nose ring. I know when I was at state, 2004-2008, seemed like half the girls on campus had a nose ring.
Fair point. Counterpoint is you missed a whole lot of opportunities.
On the contrary, the bull nose ring is an indicator she doesn’t get laid.
And just for that Mr Lockitup, this thread will stay open until it dies. Keep going guys.
I have a USMC tattoo on my upper arm. I gave into peer pressure while in the Philippians. Imagine being a Marine that didn't drink alcohol in any form, no tobacco, did not chase women or hookers and did not have a tattoo. So, I went to the PX bought my own needle and headed down to the tattoo shop. It was hard being a Mormon in the Marine Corps. My brothers in Marine Green were always there for me.tattoos are fine- I have 3 of them, like them all, and really cant imagine a group of women talking about how I would be cute if I just didnt have some meaningful tats on my legs. Like wt17?
They are so common at this point that I dont even think twice. I like seeing the creative ones where the motivation or meaning isnt obvious. Some really cool stories come from that and it reveals personality that otherwise stays reserved.
I dont find the circular barbell look to be great, but to each their own I guess.
A woman with a small hoop on one side or a small stud though? Im a product of the 90s so sign me up.
Bonus points for those who recognize the 2nd pic. 1 hit wonder.
