Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

As a very attractive man, I will say that perhaps in some ways being good looking brings favor, but in the meaningful ways, it often brings judgment and scorn. The biggest false belief of course, is that if you're a good looking man, you must be a complete misogynist and womanizer. Or just an asshole. So often I have to diffuse the anticipation that I'm walking in as some giant arrogant prick and I'm just not. It's exhausting dealing with that.
So I might get an extra helping of fries in the bag from a cute server, but it makes day to day life interacting with other people very difficult at times. It's possible to be a very good person and good looking, the two really don't have anything to do with each other, but most people don't intuit that.
Oh, and it's also exhausting not being able to have normal relationships with women, cuz they almost always have the goo goo eyes. It's not all it's cracked up to be.
