| are some guys intimidated by girls that have facial piercings?
Posted: 5/2/2007 9:10:28 AM | skateboy, it seems to me, that you only love to hear your own words , so to speak.
No one has really replied to your trash or engaged in conversation w/you in any way, yet you continue to babble on and on about how "immature" we are....my question is why do you care so damn much, when its so blatantly obvious that we couldnt care less about your "holier than thou" verb-age? | |

Posted: 5/2/2007 9:26:13 AM | okay, first of all to hiking guy
I have my labret, my nose, my tounge, my eyebrow, my tragus(for those that don't know thats the thick piece of cartilage by the inside of your ear) 3 regular earrings, and an industrial (for those that dont know what that is, it hurt like hell, you probably wouldn't wanna know, but it is on your ear with a 3 inch bar running from cartilage to cartilage). I had other piercings(altogether, all over my body 17) in the more private areas, but i took them out.
I listen to rap music, I listen to rock, I listen to country, I listen to jazz, I listen to classiscal, I play the flute, the drums, the guitar, the cello, the piano, and the violin, I fish, I bowl, I mud ride, I roller blade, I camp, I hike, I swim, I play with my children, and I even go to Church. I do not party, I do not do drugs, I dress preppy, I'm not a snob or a gothic person(not that there is anything wrong with these sort of people well, the snobs i have a problem with..), and I have more friends than I know what to do with. Alot of these friends are guys a couple I had even dated. Where is my alternative lifestyle? They don't mind the fact that I have piercings. I just decided one day that I wanted them and I got them. It's not the matter of doing it to impress anyone, or to "just fit in". Self-inflicted pain isn't realy it either if someone else is doing it so that answers that one guys comment about it being a self-inflicted mental thing.
The guys around here find it extremely sexy that a woman can endure this type pain though. They dont' care if it makes us tougher or if we may have an alternative lifestyle. All they care about is if we women are trying to be who we want to be, by doing the things we did. Maybe I need to get off this dating site and just keep looking at home. Because it seems like some of guys are jerks. If I or any woman wanted that do you think we would be here getting it instead of somewhere closer?
Now someone asked me the other day if there was a purpose for getting my piercings and I told him yea there is. I am going through a lot right now, I am in pain on the inside and I feel like my only prupose was o be put here to suffer. So pain and suffering would be my thing. Just like tats, which I will be getting 2 this week, piercings are symbolic of something.
Just because the women and I on here look different than most doesn't mean that we don't have a romantic side. We liked to be cuddled, and loved on and romanced just like any other woman. If guys can't look past our piercings and to the inside, then whose loss is it really? | |

Posted: 5/2/2007 6:45:44 PM | ^^^^ :LOL:
Kudos to the poster before this fellow. My piercings originally had little deep meaning for me, other than that I found them to be pretty. I wasn't trying to 'impress' anyone, nor to be 'different'. I ALREADY WAS DIFFERENT. Good Gods, I certainly had no interest in 'fitting in', either! If anyone would care to pay attention, they would notice that, without having to see if I had piercings. But a stronger meaning grew some time AFTER I'd gotten them. But I had to think about it, though...
'Fitting in' where I grew up meant drinking every saturday, getting pregnant before I was fourteen, doing drugs and/or selling my body for some pimp/boyfriend. 'Fitting in' meant that I wasn't a complete person without some boyfriend to 'own' me, or to beat me up if I tried to have a mind of my own. 'Fitting in' meant trying to be 'white' or 'indian' never both- anything but what I was; Metis.
This was the stuff the 'cool kids' did. These were also the losers who could barely read, or carry a conversation in a bucket that didn't centre around how much they could drink or how tough they were, or which girls they'd f**ked. The girls didn't talk, much, except to rate which boys were 'hot', or whether or not they needed to lose weight to keep the jerk-off cretins they already had. Their whole lives revolved around their boys- and that's the way they liked it. The boys, I mean, the selfish little pukes. BORING. I had NO interest in being like these A**holes, period. Also, these were the same losers who beat up on the 'different', the 'brainy' and the ones who didn't know how to fight back; IE, ME. Then I'd go home and have the same crap come at me from my so-called parents. Abuse is abuse.
And 'fitting in' meant giving up my brain, my creativity, and my personal goals to be something other than just another illiterate, drunken Indian on welfare. Oh, and before anyone gets on my *ss about the Indian thing- please let me repeat that I am of mixed ancestry; if you look at my profile, you will see 'mixed race' under ethnicity. I am Metis- Native and French- there isn't an option to choose that. Maybe it's something that can be put in? But maybe they think 'mixed race' is enough. My mother was Native, and my father was French. Yay, poutine and bannock! 
My mother, concerned that I didn't seem to have 'friends' or get along well where I was, asked me once, why I couldn't be 'normal'. I knew she couldn't ask what she meant- that she was worried about me, cared about me, was angry with me for shaking the boat- but she couldn't say it like that. She didn't know how to think that way. Maybe I scared her with my refusal to give in. Maybe she thought I was braver than she ever could be and resented me for a strength that she thought SHE ought to have. I didn't know how to tell her that, either, because I didn't know how to think that way. So, I listed off the above stuff as what the so-called 'normal' kids were doing. She learned not to ask that question any more. And, sadly, we never really talked after that, either.
So, after all of that, if there really is any deeper meaning to my piercings and tattoos, it's that they represent how I took control of MY life. They represent the tribal aspects of my ancestry. They represent the pain I lived with every day, much of it dumped on me just for existing. It wasn't always racially oriented (in fact it rarely was), but it seriously sucked to feel like your own mother resented your life. So I took it back and made it mine the way we all do to our stuff- I decorated it.
I went to school. I'm a university graduate. I learned a skill that a lot of people are surprised to learn requires a lengthy education. I quit drinking, quit drugs, quit smoking, pretty much all in one go. Now, I'm working on other aspects of my lifestyle and losing the weight the previous one had left me with. I had to learn how to quit thinking of myself as a loser. It's still very hard not to listen to the little bas*ard who lives in the back of my skull while he keeps up his attempts to keep me down. But I think I've learned how to fight him off; with every achievment I've managed to scrape together, despite the odds against me, that he'd said I'd never do. That's my way of saying to him and all the other people who thought I wouldn't ever rate; 'screw you, yer WRONG.'
So, just where do the piercings come in? As a marker of the things I've been through, as a way of saying 'this is me- deal with it', as a way of saying 'my body is MINE, the only thing I truly own, and you can't just do what YOU want with it, sucker. Deal with that'.
Anyway, this is getting long again...
Most people build themselves from the ground up, in a lot of ways. Most aren't conscious of it, or deliberate about it, like I am. I'm still a 'work in progress', as we all are, so why NOT have piercings and tattoos, if we think they'll be a beautiful addition to that work in progress?
They don't actually HAVE to mean anything, but I've noticed that they often do, and the reasons are not often shallow ones. As for anyone being intimidated by my facial-piercings, I think it would make more sense if the guy could just admit that he finds ME, or my DETERMINATION intimidating. Those are WORTH being afraid of, if kind of sad... | |

Posted: 5/13/2007 8:51:54 PM | | personally i like most facial piercings on women. it's adds personality to their character. i don't see what the big deal is with companies and not liking visible piercings or tattoos. everyone is different. most people i've found on here are stuck up and can't be honest with themselves or others. people need to lighten up a bit and take more chances. that's just my opinion. | |

Posted: 5/14/2007 9:34:26 PM | Oy, now I KNOW yer full of it, skateguy... 55 buick hubcap? Give me a break. Before you get on my butt for taking you literally, I KNOW you're being sarcastic and joking , if feebly. Your jokes just aren't funny, man. Could you please stop? You're starting to sound like a broken record, son, and you're certainly not impressing anyone with your supposed 'maturity'.
You are taking your personal dislike for a fairly trivial thing into the realm of the absurd. Just because YOU don't enjoy facial piercings and tattoos, does not mean that they aren't attractive, just that YOU don't find them attractive. Frankly, your tastes don't rule, nor do anyone else's.
It's still your choice to like or dislike something, but do you think you could stop haranging those of us who don't happen to hold the same views? So you don't agree with the ones who like piercings, big deal. Now stop telling us we are broken or immature for doing so- it's bloody RUDE, dude.
Sorry mister, but I'm going to ignore anything you say from now on. Oh, I'll read it, but I'll not respond- it's not worth it to try and wake up a mind so set in it's ways.  | |

Posted: 5/15/2007 3:11:54 AM | 'k-a lip ring is madddd f'n sexy.seriously-omg
eyebrow piercings are sweet...have one meself...a wee minimal arc thingy with shimmery conical points.Lol,some don't even immediately notice.I luv when little kids ask me'what's in yr eye'....sooo cute.
But girls with lip rings slay me heart...it's a sweet mix of vulneranility and rebelliousness(eeek-did I spell that right).
But ....it's tuff for a girl to rock a septum nose ring...gotta have like a face that works w/ it and the ring should be thin guage.
I'm not down with the huge plugs(industrial?)in the ear lobes either.
But the lip ring and eyebrow piercing....swoooooon | |

Posted: 5/18/2007 11:30:54 AM | I'll throw in another "not intimidating, just unattractive" vote. And that's pretty much any facial piercing... eyebrow, nose, lip, whatever.
I'm generally OK with piercings pretty much anywhere else - but there's just something about the face that's a total turn-off when there's stuff dangling or attached to it. | |

Posted: 6/8/2007 12:49:41 PM | Seems some Folks just can't get enough attention, just being the way Nature intended them to be---They got to get funny hair cuts, funny hair colors, tats, and fishin lures in their faces.---To Bad Mommy didn't give em more Num-Num, when they were Babies. | |

Posted: 6/17/2007 5:23:59 PM | Attention? Attention is the last thing I want and I have a slue of piercings. I've worked in lots of customer service jobs and the regulars really enjoyed my help. They didn't see me as an attention Wh0re and I'm not. I'm shy, and pretty normal (not punk no visible tattoos, no crazy makeup), and as scared as I was about comming across as myself I think that dispite my facial piercings (brigde, septum, snakebites, double nostril studs), I do a bang up job of it.
So I like piercings, so what? yeah a lot of guys don't find it attractive, but I dont see myself looking for a guy like THAT. | |

Posted: 6/18/2007 7:59:19 PM | | Back in my younger days--we use to collect "ear rings" Sure shows how tough a guy is when ya rip one out of his ear.---I riped mine out by mistake, umpiring Little League---You can bet I was looking tough alright. Jumpin around home plate. The Parents weren't quit sure what to make of that whole scene. | |

Posted: 8/8/2007 8:14:20 AM | i love how all the people without piercings seem to say we do it all for attention. if you don't have them, you have no clue as to why we pierce ourselves. it has absolutley nothing to do with what people think.
alot of people don't like them so why would we care what those people think? and as for being feminine, not every girl wants to be feminine. i have 3 facial piercings and i got them done because they look amazing and because i wanted to. i didn't walk into the tattoo parlour saying "hmm i wonder how many people are going to like this on me?".
and as for getting attention, it's funny people can say people want attention but can never admit it. just because we stick a piece of metal through our body most of us live "alternative lifestyles"? that's a pretty harsh assumption. because if you live a totally different lifestyle then people do with piercings, i highly doubt you will have anything to do with people that have piercings so how can you even know what they do with their life?
getting a piercing has little to nothing to do with what we want people to say. or how they look at us. it's something that we think looks good, bottom line.
if everyone was so uptight and realized people had ears pierced first, that was acceptable. there is no difference. same piece of metal just in a different spot.
so all you people that have an opinion on what i want to stick through my nose or any other part, you need to stop being so petty.
good day | |

Posted: 8/8/2007 9:18:15 AM | I am curious, why would anyone be intimidated versus find it simply unappealing, unattractive and maybe even a bacteriafest waiting to happen?
For me, I am not intimidated, just turned off and a little bit grossed out (depending if we're talking noce versus eye brow or something to that effect) | |
