What’s something that people think makes them look impressive/attractive but actually has the opposite effect?
My answer:
In my opinion, it is very hard to answer this question, if not impossible. Everyone has different taste as for fashion, different views and opinions. Some people like tattoos and think they’re a great expression of their style, thoughts, feelings, personality or whatever else, others think tattoos are only for prisoners or other socially condemned, marginalised people. Some people may think a plus size girl in tight clothes looks beautiful and feminine and she shouldn’t be ashamed of her body any less than conventional, slim models if she feels OK with her weight and looks, others will say she looks yucky.
So, although fashion styles, stereotypes and majority opinions are changing, I think people’s opinion always were, are and will always be very diverse and, at least if you won’t to answer this objectively, you actually can’t.
How do you think? Is it possible to answer this question objectively in your opinion? How about your own likes and dislikes? What do you find not attractive or impressive, but feel like others think it makes them attractive? I was focusing only on appearance, but since attractiveness isn’t absolutely only about that, how about your thoughts about other things that can be attractive or not attractive in a person.
I’m not a fan of the balding man comb-over. It doesn’t fool anyone into thinking you’re not bald, and in my mind it just looks ridiculous!

Well I can’t say anything about how it looks, but I highly doubt it could make a guy more attractive honestly, so I think I agree with you about that.

If people tell me how great they are, it turns me off. I have had people tell me they are smart and attractive, and to me it should be clear just by meeting the person if this is true. As my grandmother used to say, “Self-praise stinks”.

Oh that’s true. For me such behaviour is simply narcissistic or caused by any other self-esteem issues. It isn’t normal when someone wants you desperately to believe they’re great without giving you any actual reason to think so.

And I find it creepy that US politicians recently tell us how great they are while lying and proving that they are very bad indeed.

Oh well I think all politicians do so, anywhere in the world. That’s awful indeed.

appearance wise, I’d say, too much make up, like plastering it on, isnt attractive. in other areas, rudeness, ignorance, all make a person very unattractive to hang out with. xo

Yeah, rudeness and ignorance surely are anything but attractive.
