Having an opinion, being choosy, and having strong preferences about people is not wrong--it is a personal right to choose the type of people we want to associate with.
Mr matchlesssm's opinions about tattoos stems partly from the era in which he was raised. And I, being of that same era, share his perceptions about the character of heavily tattooed people. Society has shifted, and those negative stereotypes are usually no longer true, but long held subjective feelings are not that easy to erase. I understand where he is coming from. | |

I must have seen the word "judgmental" on more than half the women's profiles I've ever looked at, as something they don't want a man to be. I'd guess these women can't take any criticism. And yet time and again, I've seen those very same women say whatever nasty, spiteful, demeaning things they please about men. But at least they show their hand--and forewarned is forearmed.
Now THIS ladies and gentlemen is irony at it's finest. Ouchie, ouch, ouch, OUCHIE! Yikes and all that stuff in between.
Sorry folks. I still don't like tats. Even on my blessed beautiful daughter who can do practically no wrong in my prejudiced eyes. I still love her however, but I hate her tattoo.
That's the way the ball bounces...  | |

I'm not a prude but I just don't find tattoos attractive.

Posted: 6/22/2008 3:27:27 PM | Depending on your life style Tattoos are either in or not.Tattoo's are a personel statement. They have always been here, it's just that have not always be visable. I myself have 5 tat's the most visable is the bar code on the back of my neck.
Tattoo's on women some can be very sexy or some can be down right revolting depending on your tatse again.
my 3 cents | |

Posted: 6/23/2008 10:30:44 AM | judg·men·tal adj.
1. Of, relating to, or dependent on judgment: a judgmental error.
2. Inclined to make judgments, especially moral or personal ones ie: a marriage counselor who tries not to be judgmental.
While you're inline with the definition of the word, I find that most severely judgmental people base their particular opinions not on fact, but assumptions. It's a free world, judge all you want, but don't get all whiny and angry when people judge you just as harshly, or unfairly. People shouldn't have to qualify their preferences, or judgments in fact, after all, that's why we have free-will. | |

Posted: 6/23/2008 2:31:21 PM | Has nothing to do with being a prude...I have seen lots of "nerds" with tattoos! Just think of it as Permanent make-up! I am a woman and have several...they reflect a part of me that is MY way of self expression. I am in Executive Management and you would never know by looking at me in my designer suit!..Does that make me less of a female? Does being tattoo'd make me someone I am not? No, that makes those men who judge a book by it's cover...very immature, closed minded and self absorbed. If you do not like it...do not contact women that have them....HEY, I have an idea....put it in your profile...NOT LOOKING FOR WOMEN THAT HAVE BODY ART...which is the correct way of saying...TATTOO'S  | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 2:33:12 AM | Is that from the SSG dictionary? My Webster's doesn't have that. I think there's a happy medium. No one wants to be around somebody who regularly--and harshly--criticizes other people. It makes you wonder what they say about you when you're not in the room.
But at the opposite extreme, there can be a widespread "gentlemen's agreement" (see old film w/ that title) not to look very closely at what the next guy's doing, as long as he does you the same favor. Part of what's traditionally encouraged people to meet certain standards is that they knew other people would make negative judgments about them if they didn't. And that would make the person ashamed of their slip up. Just imagine the torment! Thankfully, we have evolved to the point we no longer have any shame. Now, everyone can do almost anything they want and have it tolerated. After all, nothing could be worse than being judgmental. | |

Actually, it's from dictionary.com

However, thanks for ASSuming that I am so full of self importance, I make up definitions to words! Awesome!
I'm not denying the fact that on some level EVERYONE is judgmental-those who say they are not, are living in denial. What I did say is that most of the time, these judgments are based primarily on assumptions, and not reality. I am no less guilty than anyone else of doing this-and I readily admit that. I'm not going to stand on some soapbox and spew a bunch of BS.

Since when did tolerance of people's differences become such a bad thing? | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 11:38:01 AM | | I hear you! For me, I wonder why all the older men on here say they are 15 years younger than they actually are and have beards? What are you hiding? Don't you realize the beards just make you look older? | |

Posted: 6/29/2008 3:48:34 PM | Although I don't have any tatoos, I think some are beautiful.
Unfortunately, the tramp stamp tatoo has become so trendy that it seems like every woman has one on her lower back which i find a bit "trampy".
Men I think can get away with a few tatoos, I think it is kind of sexy, yet not too much where they could be a regular on Miami Ink! | |

| A fan or not?
Posted: 7/2/2008 8:47:43 PM | | I'm not a big fan of tattoos, but it wouldn't change my mind if I met someone I really liked. I don't have any tattoos myself. If her tattoos were really giant back tattoos or her ex-boyfriends face on her chest, it might be a little different : ) I'd rather spend $300-$500 on some nice artwork to put on my wall or display somewhere else nice. If you notice, I don't think most of the tattoos you see on people's bodies would be hanging art in their home or you might think they are a little off kilter! Am I wrong? Well, like I said as long as it's not too hideous or something offensive, I could look past it. Piercings? Well, ears are nice and belly is okay too, but if they are somewhere else, I'm still going to look right through them like I'd look right through the tattoos to see who they really are........that's the most important thing. | |
