What do piercings, tattoos and hair color have to do with a woman's loyalty?

I think the idea behind it is that women who choose certain styles are consciously aligning themselves to a certain lifestyle/ mode of behaviour that's associated with the social group that prefer that style, and that some RPers assume that promiscuity and lack of submissiveness is associated with the social group that enjoys piercings/ unnatural hair colours/ tattoos.

I don't necessarily believe that to be true, but that seems to be the logic.

Disclaimer: I have a shitload of tattoos and my hair hasn't been a natural color for more than a couple of months at a time since I was maybe 15.

It's about impulse control. People see those with tattoos as irresponsible because "how are you going to get a job?" and "clearly you don't think ahead with your actions." Ya know, because everyone always regrets their tattoos later once they grow up and realize it's undignified (/s). Plus only a niche group of men are super into body modifications or that "style" on women, so it signals to them "Hey, this woman doesn't give a shit whether or not you find her attractive now so is more likely to let herself go if you enter a relationship with her." If you do things to your body that most men find unattractive it is a red flag to them that you will not respect them and retain the independent woman vibe without regard to how your partner feels about it. It says you already don't care what men think and will likely continue not to care, ever.

Funny, I read a book a few months ago, and they had a tidbit about women and piercings. Here's a photo of the page: http://imgur.com/dWUJyj9 Go ahead and read it, but here's an excerpt: "In the analysis of personality traits, piercing was more common among women who had 'low constraints' or 'high negative' emotionality, but they were not personality characteristics tied to men with piercings. Women with piercings were also more likely to report having five or more heterosexual partners, same-sex attraction, and having any same-sex partner in the last year." Part of me also wonders if there's any correlation between piercings and past trauma (like childhood sexual abuse). I'm not arguing that all women with piercings were sexually abused, but I wouldn't be surprised if, say, 10% of women without sexual abuse had piercings and 25% of women with piercings were sexually abused. Childhood sexual abuse can also cause problems later in life in a person's relationships. I remember reading somewhere that childhood sexual abuse was a risk factor for divorce.

Colored hair and too much piercings are basically the fedora and neckbeard of women. Trying to be special and unique , and just ending with a uniform of what's bad with your community.

Symptoms include obonoxious SJW-type thinking(I am an oppressed victim , I will smash the patriarchy by having lot of sex somehow,It's ok when I do it ,but racist/sexist when you do it),histrionic/borderline behaviours, ridiculous solipism justifying treating others like shit , cliquish behavior masked by faux-sassiness, and avoiding all responsabilities for all the shit you done.

ROK just have to claim all women are like that, and they can generate audience effortlessly.

I always sort of figured they prefer women who are reluctant to make decisions that are permanent and will expose them to adverse public scrutiny. Y'know... like getting a divorce.

On my phone, so I'll keep this brief. On its own, promiscuity is a red flag because it indicates a lack of impulse control, and a propensity for reckless behavior. I.e. It takes a certain amount of recklessness to sleep with someone that you've only known for a few hours, proportionally more recklessness to go home with two guys for a threeway, etc. Tattoos, body piercings, and colored hair are also red flags for the same reason, and they're a visual cue that the girl is attempting to reject social norms. if you're a guy looking for a sensible, emotionally stable partner, these are women you might want to avoid. If you're looking for easy sex, these women are often a reasonable bet.

Before the thought police point out that these are generalizations, I'm aware of that. Generalizations are a mechanism by which we learn from experience, and they're good for rapidly sorting through large populations. The fact that an observation is a generalization doesn't make it any less valid.

what does lack of height, predisposition to nerd interests and non-fashionable clothing have to do with a person's attractiveness?

Simple. They (generally) make him seem less masculine.

Similarly for your she-clowns. These things correlate with an increase in non-womanly traits, including a lack of femininity and sluttiness.

[deleted] · 2015-04-11T16:06:17+00:00

I find the stereotypes TRP has about girls with tattoos and piercings to be amusing because my experiences show they very opposite of them is true.

It's all good tho, more tatted up girls for me.

ECoast_Man · 2015-04-11T22:03:38+00:00

Because generally speaking these types of women are fucked in the head.

Phokus1983 · 2015-04-11T17:47:58+00:00

They're sluts. Also, they're attention whores.

nemma88 · 2015-04-11T20:12:35+00:00

There are links with lots of negative traits which apply to both men and women. Promiscuity, risky behavior, personality disorders etc. Naturally these won't be automatically indicative of even most people which fit into those categories, but it's just more likely as a part of that group.

Of course, RoTK pretends it only applies to women in their articles, and tars everyone with the same brush. Their articles on the subject are same as dumb stuff like : men with tattoos are rapists. But it's good click bait.

Claim 5: girls with body modifications are mentally ill

Because, AMALT and all that.

fratze · 2015-04-11T21:05:22+00:00

So all of you who are linking impulse-control to tattoos... I figure it's some sort of statistic maybe. but what about all the thousands of people who plan their tattoos? They go about for months sighing and whining about what to choose, save money and stuff. I'd say they are a bunch.

It doesn't have to mean anything on its own - it just has to be a useful heuristic for inferential purposes.

leftajar · 2015-04-12T16:20:41+00:00

"Alternative" body modifications and clothing style is a good signaling mechanism for a low-threshold of emotional familiarity required for sex.

Or, in short, because it's an effective correlation, and we're men interested in getting laid.

Depends on where you live I guess, I live in CA and some of the most wifeable girls I know have full sleeves. They all have quality work though, not scratcher bullshit. They also wear dresses, are nice and smile a lot, bake and cook and their boyfriends/husbands are very happy with them, and also quite tattooed.

I guess I look at things differently since I've been involved with a heavily tattooed culture for half my life and have tattoos myself, but ultimately I think RoK just wants to rustle jimmies, and saying anything that could possibly be perceived as negative against tattoos or any other "alternative" culture is a very easy way to get massive pageviews, as such cultures love having internet tantrums over nothing.

[deleted] · 2015-04-11T14:54:07+00:00

Poor impulse control and decision-making skills. Of course it depends on the specific tat / piercing, but the idea is that a woman who is OK with stuff like that is probably outgoing and "free-spirited" enough to have slept with many guys.

[deleted] · 2015-04-11T17:53:44+00:00

piercings, ink, and crazy hair color have been statistically linked to impulsivity. and one of decisions impulsive people make without thinking it through; is whether or not to have sex.

max_peenor · 2015-04-11T14:01:34+00:00

It is attention seeking behavior. That could be a red flag. Sometimes it's just style though.

[deleted] · 2015-04-11T21:28:45+00:00

Because special snowflakes are sluts. If they didn't want to be special snowflakes then they wouldn't try so hard to tell the world that they're strong independent womyn who don't need no man. In reality, their bound by their biological gender and so they'll be shit actors. The best they'll get is modifying their appearance, never learning charm, and getting plowed a lot because that's somehow a rebellion against society or something.
