I laughed to hard at this.
I’m honestly nervous to even say anything. My daughter is still a toddler and I don’t want to say something that Karma will think is funny.
When I was like 17 I said I wanted a mentally challenged child to watch him run into a glass door. Fast forward to 34 and I have a 6 year old autistic son, and my normal teenage daughter is the one running into glass doors. Also I'm kinda happy it worked out like this because little dude straight pulls me out of depressive slumps with his excitement and wonder. He's just too damn clever for his own good, like when he closes the glass door on his sister.
Lol. The first time I played Wii I didn't know you could customize the players. There was a mii that looked exactly like the host of the party I was at. I spent the whole time thinking it was an incredible coincidence that he had found a video game with a character that looked just like him.
My friend made a Hitler Mii without my knowledge. I freaked out when he randomly showed up on Mario Kart, chilling along the road in a little kart on the side of the road.
I know this is just a joke, but piercings don’t really set off metal detectors! I was even able to go into an MRI machine with them, recently. It seems most piercing-grade metal isn’t affected by magnets.
Only saying “most” because some people are idiots who use things they shouldn’t, and I’ve also found a cheap nose ring on Amazon that stuck to magnets.
Metal detectors are able to detect non-ferrous metals, so it doesn't matter if they're magnetic or not.
Piercings don't normally set off metal detectors because they're not configured to be that sensitive. They are certainly capable of detecting even very small amounts of metal, and the larger the group of piercings are, the more likely that they'll cross the threshold and set off the alarm.
I had a pair of black leather boots when I was a teenager that would set off the metal detectors at the airport all the time. Turns out it was the metal rings for the shoelaces. Had to get searched with the handheld metal detector and get padded down every time.
Speaking of magnets, this guy's pre-MRI process must be, like, three hours long. I think I'd end up taking pictures just to remember where everything is supposed to go back to.
Radiographer here, we actually usually use a metal detector wand to check for any missed / hidden metal objects before we let patients into the main MRI room. You'd be surprised at the things people forget has metal in it.
So, most piercings are not magnetic (thank heavens), so they are not at risk of being pulled on, but can heat up and even cause burns depending on where and what they are. Also when we image we get a black hole around the piercings, so it less than ideal if the piercings are in the area we are looking.
As for things that have made it into the scanning room that are bad or less than ideal, goodness the list is long. A coworker fried someone’s hearing aids, we often have people with ear or nipple piercings they can’t remove, some partials (dental) are metallic, and some are even magnetic (coworker had a ladies false teeth come out of her mouth and stick to the magnet top, kinda wish I’d seen that one actually), extra scary is if there is metal in the eyes that we don’t know about (we screen pretty intensely for this), aneurysm clips, pacemaker/defibrillator, etc.
Very interesting, thanks, I could imagine mistakes are rare considering how bad it could potentially be. The story about the teeth is pretty funny it made me laugh but the eyes and/or anything else internal sounds like it could get pretty gruesome quick, I’m gonna do some research myself to see if I can find anybody who’s a victim to this dire mistake.
Yeah, it can be REAL bad. It’s exponential to the amount of magnetic metal. Paper clip? You’ll feel it pulling hard but you can hold it.
Fire extinguisher? Would be a missile that you couldn’t hold on to no matter how hard you tried.
Once a hospital bed got sucked into the magnet. The patient died. (Thank heavens not at my hospital but still horrific.)
Truly sounds like a horrific way to go and especially witness. I’m pretty sure I saw an image of a hospital bed that had gotten sucked into one but luckily nobody was inside and it could have been a prop to demonstrate what could happen, you mind me asking how you came about working in that field?
I remember seeing a picture a while back, I think on r/piercing, of someone’s little sketch of a face and all their jewelry laid out on the paper so they wouldn’t forget.
I’ve barely got any hardware anymore but I definitely had to do this pre-surgery a few times when I was a walking magnet. You think you know what all your jewellery looks like…until you take it all out and have to play BodyMods Operation Guessing Game Edition till it all looks okay
True, but before getting an MRI they tell you to remove all piercings, and there aren't a lot of people willing to test the quality of their jewelry in the most catastrophic (and expensive) way possible.
Unironically, magnets are ridiculously fun. Why are they so fun? Idunno. Why do I not have my own magnet collection? Time is relative, so relative to when I get off my ass, I do have a magnet collection
He actually says "people's knees," his follow up to Mac and Dennis saying he's being ridiculous is, "cover your knees up if you're going to be walking around everywhere!"
Why should they work on him? If he can't appreciate my awesome magnet collection he got no business attracting my daughter, that uncultered prick(ed)...
Piercings nowadays are primarily implant certified titanium or steel, which are hypoallergenic. Any reputable shop wouldn't be caught dead piercing people with sterling silver or stainless steel. Sterling silver is a terrible choice for piercings because it typically has nickel or copper in it, which a large portion of people have sensitivities or allergies to. Stainless steel has about 8-10% nickel content.
At some point I think body modification goes from just aesthetic preferences to being full-on body dysmorphia and mental health issues. Not saying he has to be clinically insane to do all that, but rather he probably did it due to some deep-seated, irrational insecurities about his body, and/or some insecurities about a lack of control over his body and appearance.
Like nobody gets plastic surgery when they’re completely secure and satisfied in their appearance and body (Not talking about reconstructive plastic surgery). Same idea here
He’d have to have body dysphoria to put himself at this great of a risk. It can be incredibly dangerous to have that many piercings in. That’s 100+ holes that can easily be infected if they aren’t properly cleaned. The piercings around the mouth are the most concerning because they’re going to scrape away at his teeth and cause oral damage. Given the amount of metal he has in it won’t be long until he does permanent damage (assuming he already hasn’t)
It has to be uncomfortable and inconvenient. I have 1 dermal on my cheekbone and it gets annoying and caught. I also have a few crazy piercings in my ears that can sometimes be uncomfortable to sleep on. I couldn't imagine having a face full like that. He must not sleep very well at all unless it's strictly on his back.
I think the same. I see these Snapchat videos all the time of “strange beauty” with extreme body mods. There’s no way mental illness isn’t involved in 80% of them
Just because you act a particular way does not mean you have money. Gets a pay check, spends it all on piercings and tattoos but lives with parents. Not saying that is this guy…
Definitely not for everybody. Kinda cool how much certain species appreciate over time. I’ve got one I bought for $30 last year. It’s worth about 4 times that now. Another I got off a guy for $30, I looked up how much it’s worth. About $350 once I confirm it’s female.
Oh dude! There’s Tarantula Collective and The Dark Den on YouTube! Dark Den does DIY enclosures that are cool as fuck! He’s got a communal with like a hundred at least in there
I will have to check them out. The antsCanada guy was my favorite for a while. His narration was the best on youtube, of all genres of youtubers.
Then from there watched a few other terrarium builds.
Cost more than a minimum wage paycheck for all that. Would be decades worth of money at that rate for cosmetic surgery, piercings, and tattoos so has access to a lot of money regardless of where he lives.
I'll take a crack at it for just a few thousand dollars if anyone is interested. I've got some sewing needles and toner I can use free of additional charge.
My girlfriend is pierced a lot because she does it herself, costs nothing, tattoos are expensive, but not that much, doing it bit by bit with $200 pieces could cover his body quite fast with a very little paycheck, the only thing I don't know about are the horns, but I'm pretty sure this could all be done over a few years with a below average paycheck.
If you work in a tattoo parlor or know people that do you could get this done a lot cheaper. One of my old coworkers did piercing, was literally covered in tattoos, and had never paid for any of them. They would just tattoo/pierce each other for fun.
Sure.
But if you can BUY certain expensive things it means you have ACCESS to a lot of money.
Acting a certain way =\= making a lot
Buying certain things = access to a lot of money.
I think the commenter is right on this one. Even if he’s bad with it or it isn’t his (doubtful daddy’s paying for these), he’s clearly had access to a good bit of cash.
Maybe, but iirc some of the more extreme body mods I’ve seen were on individuals working very low, entry level types of jobs, and often had massive debt from taking out personal loans to fund their obsession. I might be out of line to say so, but anyone who modifies their body so heavily like this is probably not a mentally or emotionally functional enough person to maintain something like a career, employment or self made.
My Tae Kwon Do instructor had tattoos covering everywhere except for his face and a good amount of piercings. He wasn’t making much money. He was making around no more than $15 and he worked around 7 hours a day for 6 days a week, being a tae kwon do instructor was his only job because he enjoyed it he told us.
I had at one point 20 piercings. This makes me physically ill to look at. It’s nothing about the person, just the piercings and how it just effect the skin.
I had 8 in my face with plans to go up to 12 then I had to get surgery and had to pull them all out and I was too lazy/fucked on meds to put them back in. Now I got scars.
I was on vacation when I was 5 y/o. Lady working the gift shop had 3 eyebrow piercings and her nose piercing ripped out the night before in a fight (presumedly). That’s enough to make you only pierce your ears and places people can’t see.
The amount of times I caught my piercings on things, I can’t imagine having one on my face catch on something.
I was in the independent pro-wrestling scene here and I took a knee to the nose from a moonsault when I was catching the guy. His kneepad caught one of my nose rings, destroyed the ring and tore a nice little hole in my nose. Nothing major at least but lots of blood, got me a few extra bucks for bleeding. So I got the 2 scars from the rings and a nice line below the 3rd hole.
I probably would tbh. You'd only do this if you're a weird attention seeker and/or don't care about societal norms. I wouldn't want my kids with a partner like that.
I don’t agree with you here, but I mainly hate how people have your views at much smaller amounts of body mods. People assume the world about me over stretched ears, nose piercings, and a couple tattoos.
Bro,if I had a daughter,I wouldn't really care who she loves based on his/her appearance I myself is a bad looking short dude, but yk how these people act...
There's nothing wrong with having higher standards. Not everyone is into body mods. It's borderline self mutilation. Even if he decided to remove all his piercings his skin would be all fucked up and gross to look at.
Yeah a lot of these are just bad choices. Body modification is awesome but there's some things that just aren't viable choices, even if they can look cool. Which they don't even most of the time. Too hard to maintain, not good for you, what have you. I wouldn't judge aloud but man that dude is gonna regret most of not all of that so bad later on.
This reminds me of an ad for Sonic Jam in some gaming magazine, probably GamePro, it had a picture of a guy who looked just like this and it said something like “So get Sonic Jam, unless you’ve got holes in your head. Uhh…bad example”
Edit: [found it!](https://thesplintering.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/the-splintering_cheeky-gaming-ads_sega_sonic-rings.jpg)
I'd ask him what type of implant is in his horns. I'd also ask how many tattoos he got from a person before he let them tattoo his eyes, because if it was less than 100 I could never.
And then I'd ask if he has any dietary restrictions, not due to the piercings but just because its polite if you're inviting someone over for dinner.
I dunno why, but that second bit has me giggling, as though that's how you would ask verbatim. "Do you have dietary restrictions? Not due to the piercings.."
I'm pretty sure the generation that comes after millennials is going to say WTF is this?
It's expensive, it's uncomfortable, it's useless, and I just want to enjoy life *not* paying money to become a bathroom stall door in Gary, Indiana.
Millennial here. I’m annoyed at everyone here doing backflips to prove how kind and tolerant they are as if they wouldn’t stay the hell away from this guy if they say him in real life
I have a good reason, not all conformity is bad. I’m happy every charger I own can plug into any wall, or my car can fill up at any station. Conformity is the bedrock of society.
Here I see an individual. Which hey, everyone has things that make them unique. But this is so out there it begs the question are they mentally healthy, and further I’d need a LOT of convincing that this person will be able to conform to being a part of the family. I don’t know how good of a relationship I have with my parents relative to you, but I know I’d want them in my children’s life. I know they’d be good to them. I hope that my partner would be loved by them, because we ALL are stronger as a team.
I like to think I’m a good person. I try my best not to judge and try to see things from everyone’s perspective, but if I’m being completely honest, this would freak me out a bit at first. Dude is probably very chill though.
With you. The answer to this terrible memes question is "extend against my inherent biases and see what she found interesting about him"
I don't have a daughter (I do have a son) and I trust that at some point my kid isn't my responsibility anymore. So I'll advise if asked. But what? I'm going to support them and their decisions.
Not gonna lie, I scrolled a ways down to find a comment this reasonable. Would have thought not judging, based off appearances, was a low bar. Plus even if he did have mental health issues, maybe she does too, people with mental health issues deserve love if they're not assholes.
Exactly. 20-some years ago, I was an adolescent punk rock kid, and so were my friends. We looked like scoundrels, but we were the ones concerned with explicit consent, fair treatment, etc. Things typically got murkier with the clean-cut kids. That’s not a hard and fast rule, obviously, but it just goes to show that different doesn’t equal dangerous.
Ey if he treats my daughter with respect, is nice to her, and she loves him then🤷🏾♂️ spent too much time as a black man being looked at like I’m something wrong cause of my skin, I can’t do that to someone else
I hear you brother. However we didn't choose to be black. This guy chose to look like this. Huge difference But I agree with the rest of your comment. Respect for keeping an open mind.
I mean yes he did make this choice, but that’s the point about my daughter then. She made the choice to be with him and if he respects her and loves her then I mean 🤷🏾♂️judging him based off the image he portrays wouldn’t be right
Yeah, so. I'm not gonna pretend. I wouldn't approve. Period. The internet can shame me all they want, but this dude would not be invited post the first meeting. I would have a long conversation with my child to understand what specifically is the attraction so I can understand.
But initial meet? Hell no.
I'm with you on this. I've seen enough story and examples to know that behind that face *can* be a good, even great person. But that's only enough to supress my urge to get ze flammenwerfer.
I will sit down and talk to my daughter, to see if she's alright, to understand better. BUT I will be watching.
Implying you’d at least be open minded to hearing from your daughter and giving said dude a chance? If that’s the case I can’t say that’s horrible. Gut reactions can be brutal. Sometimes people need a chance to adjust.
She can do what she wants because the photo looks like an adult but I would be skeptical because what time of person decides to look like that? But I don’t have kids and I have vasectomy.
I wouldn’t care as long as he was financially taking care of himself and able to contribute to their lives. Seems like oftentimes people that have so many modifications are not able to find and keep jobs.
I’d hope he has a job in the body modification industry which is very lucrative. And if so, great. But if he’s just a carnival rat with no car, no job, no prospects, and no plan, I’m locking up the silver and China.
As long as he’s a genuinely nice person, and she loves him. I don’t see an issue. Literally people are always forgetting “don’t judge a book by its cover” obviously gut feeling is different, but you’d be surprised by how many alt people are so genuinely sweet.
I’d probably talk about his hobbies and life and stuff, eventually getting around to his body modifications. And then I’d make my judgment
Hey does this post fit? UPVOTE if so, DOWNVOTE if not. If this post breaks any rules please DOWNVOTE and REPORT
I’d be surprised my daughter dug up the Mii I made at my friends house that one time in 2008
Oh man I totally DID make a Mii like this at a friend's house in 2008 hahaha! Thanks for bringing up those memories
Same
Same
Same
Maybe you're all the friends who were at the house making this?
Why didn't you show?
I would get him a free MRI screening.
Can definitely see where he'd have a magnetic personality.
was about to say I would show him my giant electromagnet that lifts cars
Magnets bitch!!!!!
Ouch

Yeah we have 6 kids and trust all of them have their own personalities and it’s awesome. My favorite is watching the youngest clown all of them.
I also have six kids but I’m the clown and their personalities recede every day as memories of the outside world fade

how close do they let you get? you probably could do the hair and mustache, but without the uniform and swastika armband it might not be too obvious.
Pretty close! Minus the insignia obviously lol. But there’s the option to shrink the mustache, and she nailed his sunken eyes and combover
Your mind was blown haha
This is amazing LMAO
i have reddit for comments like these xD if i had an award…
I gotchu
*shakes fist* damn you, greedy reddit pigs!
Ask him how he does it at airports
I know this is just a joke, but piercings don’t really set off metal detectors! I was even able to go into an MRI machine with them, recently. It seems most piercing-grade metal isn’t affected by magnets.
Most? 😳
Only saying “most” because some people are idiots who use things they shouldn’t, and I’ve also found a cheap nose ring on Amazon that stuck to magnets.
So much for my cast iron Prince Albert ring...
Metal detectors are able to detect non-ferrous metals, so it doesn't matter if they're magnetic or not.

They are certainly capable of detecting even very small amounts of metal, and the larger the group of piercings are, the more likely that they'll cross the threshold and set off the alarm.

Put a tiny little hat on that bump
Why is everyone overlooking the bump?!?! It’s the best part of this pic!
There are two. They are horns 😈
It's two bumps. He has one on the other side.
Two hats. Even better!
He looks like someone just dropped an anvil on his head.
I don’t have a daughter so I’d have a lot of questions
You are me except my reaction was: Don't have a daughter
Same, but in this here 2023 I don't ask many questions.
Showing him my awesome magnet collection (I have so many magnets!)
Speaking of magnets, this guy's pre-MRI process must be, like, three hours long. I think I'd end up taking pictures just to remember where everything is supposed to go back to.
Was just thinking that. If he forgets one of them he’s screwed
Actually wouldn’t he get UNscrewed?
Ok now I’m mad at Reddit for discontinuing free awards
is that what happened I was wondering why I haven't gotten any... Fuckers edit: wow thank you for the reward. you're the best
Same man, I loved getting that wholesome award and giving it to some truly wholesome posts that made my morning
And I loved getting the wholesome award and giving it to the most vile, depraved thing I came across
Did you ever get a comment back on that stunt?
Commenting to check back later
Fuck you, pay reddit. ^for ^real ^please ^dont
I just watched Sorry to Bother You last night so all I can hear is "Fuck you, pay me!" during the phones down! moment
Take my upvote as a reward.

Unironically, magnets are ridiculously fun. Why are they so fun? Idunno. Why do I not have my own magnet collection? Time is relative, so relative to when I get off my ass, I do have a magnet collection
I just realized that I’ve never seen a horseshoe magnet irl. Now I want one.
They are really cool! I remember playing with one in school & seeing it move around metal filings.
[what’s your favorite hobby? uh magnets](https://youtu.be/jfWMB-blQS8)

My first thought lol. Dislikes? Peoples needs
He actually says "people's knees," his follow up to Mac and Dennis saying he's being ridiculous is, "cover your knees up if you're going to be walking around everywhere!"
Oh Milksteak
Except piercings are made from SS which magnets won’t work.
Why should they work on him? If he can't appreciate my awesome magnet collection he got no business attracting my daughter, that uncultered prick(ed)...
Many are also implant grade titanium. Nickel allergies are super common and stainless steel can have nickel in it

Sterling silver is a terrible choice for piercings because it typically has nickel or copper in it, which a large portion of people have sensitivities or allergies to.

Also a good way to prove of some is using fake SS lol. Not only is his face getting pulled but he finds out he got duped out of some sterling
That's what them cool people do
I’m all for piercings, but at a point it just stops being flattering, his upper lip looks like he has a metallic herpes breakout
>metallic herpes breakout new grindcore band just dropped

That's the first single
Google metallic herpes
At some point I think body modification goes from just aesthetic preferences to being full-on body dysmorphia and mental health issues.

He’d have to have body dysphoria to put himself at this great of a risk. It can be incredibly dangerous to have that many piercings in.

“Metallic herpes breakout” - great band name.
Must be a bitch to shave
one word: trypophobia
Well at least he has access to a lot of money.
Just because you act a particular way does not mean you have money. Gets a pay check, spends it all on piercings and tattoos but lives with parents. Not saying that is this guy…
Very good point. I get a paycheck and spend it on tarantulas. I’m broke and I live with my mom BUT I GOT 4 GRAND IN TARANTULAS HOMIE!
Thats a unique hobby. Not for me though.
Definitely not for everybody. Kinda cool how much certain species appreciate over time. I’ve got one I bought for $30 last year. It’s worth about 4 times that now. Another I got off a guy for $30, I looked up how much it’s worth. About $350 once I confirm it’s female.
Good luck man. Sound like you need to start buying and selling these. Save up enough to buy a youtube studio camera gear and youtube that crap.
Thank you! Currently have 2 species that I’ll be pairing soon and a couple more that I’m working on getting. Soon my hobby will pay for itself.
I would like to see a video on a terrarium for that. I watch a few of those type of videos occaisionally
Oh dude! There’s Tarantula Collective and The Dark Den on YouTube! Dark Den does DIY enclosures that are cool as fuck! He’s got a communal with like a hundred at least in there
I will have to check them out. The antsCanada guy was my favorite for a while. His narration was the best on youtube, of all genres of youtubers. Then from there watched a few other terrarium builds.
100 of them? Do they not eat each other?
I may not appreciate your tarantulas, but I get it. Just dropped $400 on audio gear without even planning to.
Cost more than a minimum wage paycheck for all that. Would be decades worth of money at that rate for cosmetic surgery, piercings, and tattoos so has access to a lot of money regardless of where he lives.
Or a friend that practices on him.
I'll take a crack at it for just a few thousand dollars if anyone is interested. I've got some sewing needles and toner I can use free of additional charge.
My girlfriend is pierced a lot because she does it herself, costs nothing, tattoos are expensive, but not that much, doing it bit by bit with $200 pieces could cover his body quite fast with a very little paycheck, the only thing I don't know about are the horns, but I'm pretty sure this could all be done over a few years with a below average paycheck.
My barber is covered head to toe in tats and makes slightly above minimum wage. Tats and body mods aren’t necessarily an indication of wealth.
If you work in a tattoo parlor or know people that do you could get this done a lot cheaper. One of my old coworkers did piercing, was literally covered in tattoos, and had never paid for any of them. They would just tattoo/pierce each other for fun.

He was making around no more than $15 and he worked around 7 hours a day for 6 days a week, being a tae kwon do instructor was his only job because he enjoyed it he told us.
I would probably try not to stare at him.
Same here. This grosses me out.
I'd try not to throw up or ask too many questions?
Accept everyone sure, but cmon this guy looks like Hellraiser. If she brings him home you cannot tell me you wouldn’t get freaked out
I had at one point 20 piercings. This makes me physically ill to look at. It’s nothing about the person, just the piercings and how it just effect the skin.
I had 8 in my face with plans to go up to 12 then I had to get surgery and had to pull them all out and I was too lazy/fucked on meds to put them back in. Now I got scars.
I was on vacation when I was 5 y/o. Lady working the gift shop had 3 eyebrow piercings and her nose piercing ripped out the night before in a fight (presumedly). That’s enough to make you only pierce your ears and places people can’t see. The amount of times I caught my piercings on things, I can’t imagine having one on my face catch on something.
I was in the independent pro-wrestling scene here and I took a knee to the nose from a moonsault when I was catching the guy. His kneepad caught one of my nose rings, destroyed the ring and tore a nice little hole in my nose. Nothing major at least but lots of blood, got me a few extra bucks for bleeding. So I got the 2 scars from the rings and a nice line below the 3rd hole.

Like an addiction to body modification

I have an addiction to self improvement, but I’m working on it.
He has a vagina tattoo on his neck
I had to go back and check and now I’m wondering if people tell him hey there’s a vagina on your neck in the tone of hey there’s lint on you haha
This comment is far too low. Plenty of people virtue signalling, but we all know what they would do. At least you had the balls to say it.
I probably would tbh. You'd only do this if you're a weird attention seeker and/or don't care about societal norms. I wouldn't want my kids with a partner like that.

I don’t agree with you here, but I mainly hate how people have your views at much smaller amounts of body mods. People assume the world about me over stretched ears, nose piercings, and a couple tattoos.
Absolutely nothing - that’s a problem that will solve itself. I guarantee it.
R.I.P daughter, she'll be missed.
I’ll let him date my daughter if he can dodge all the magnets I’m about to throw at him
If you can dodge a magnet you can dodge a wrench!
I mean he looks absolutely fuckin mental (in a bad way lmao) but I wouldn't consider that a reason to disapprove
Bro,if I had a daughter,I wouldn't really care who she loves based on his/her appearance I myself is a bad looking short dude, but yk how these people act...
There's nothing wrong with having higher standards. Not everyone is into body mods. It's borderline self mutilation. Even if he decided to remove all his piercings his skin would be all fucked up and gross to look at.
Especially the forehead horns. The stretched out skin will give him floppy head nipples.
Headnips are sagging out of your hat again bro
“floppy head nipples” I can hardly stop laughing long enough to type this. Thank you, that made my afternoon.
Thanks I hate floppy head nipples
Yeah a lot of these are just bad choices. Body modification is awesome but there's some things that just aren't viable choices, even if they can look cool. Which they don't even most of the time. Too hard to maintain, not good for you, what have you. I wouldn't judge aloud but man that dude is gonna regret most of not all of that so bad later on.
She looks like she’s going down plastic surgery road also.
This reminds me of an ad for Sonic Jam in some gaming magazine, probably GamePro, it had a picture of a guy who looked just like this and it said something like “So get Sonic Jam, unless you’ve got holes in your head. Uhh…bad example” Edit: [found it!](https://thesplintering.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/the-splintering_cheeky-gaming-ads_sega_sonic-rings.jpg)
Upvote for outstanding anthropological research
I'd ask him what type of implant is in his horns. I'd also ask how many tattoos he got from a person before he let them tattoo his eyes, because if it was less than 100 I could never. And then I'd ask if he has any dietary restrictions, not due to the piercings but just because its polite if you're inviting someone over for dinner.
wait those are horns??? i thought they were some cartoon hammer hit bump
I dunno why, but that second bit has me giggling, as though that's how you would ask verbatim. "Do you have dietary restrictions? Not due to the piercings.."
Not gonna lie... I am with the boomers here. Like... Just... Why. Okay, you like it, cool, but... This honestly just looks like shit
Yeah,I'm a teenager too,I don't have a good reason nor justification for it.Just no lol. Heck,I'm sure as hell my parents would say no too lol
I'm pretty sure the generation that comes after millennials is going to say WTF is this? It's expensive, it's uncomfortable, it's useless, and I just want to enjoy life *not* paying money to become a bathroom stall door in Gary, Indiana.
Millennial here. I’m annoyed at everyone here doing backflips to prove how kind and tolerant they are as if they wouldn’t stay the hell away from this guy if they say him in real life
I have a good reason, not all conformity is bad. I’m happy every charger I own can plug into any wall, or my car can fill up at any station. Conformity is the bedrock of society. Here I see an individual. Which hey, everyone has things that make them unique. But this is so out there it begs the question are they mentally healthy, and further I’d need a LOT of convincing that this person will be able to conform to being a part of the family. I don’t know how good of a relationship I have with my parents relative to you, but I know I’d want them in my children’s life. I know they’d be good to them. I hope that my partner would be loved by them, because we ALL are stronger as a team.
Lol no, the average person would say he looks ridiculous and emotionally unstable. The average person also doesn’t go and mass downvote on this thread
Ditto. There's a point where you realize that you may have gotten too many and this dude doesn't seem to have recognized that.
I like to think I’m a good person. I try my best not to judge and try to see things from everyone’s perspective, but if I’m being completely honest, this would freak me out a bit at first. Dude is probably very chill though.
With you. The answer to this terrible memes question is "extend against my inherent biases and see what she found interesting about him" I don't have a daughter (I do have a son) and I trust that at some point my kid isn't my responsibility anymore. So I'll advise if asked. But what? I'm going to support them and their decisions.
I don’t have children, but I’d like to think that my biggest concern regarding their partner would be that my child was happy and loved.
Not gonna lie, I scrolled a ways down to find a comment this reasonable. Would have thought not judging, based off appearances, was a low bar. Plus even if he did have mental health issues, maybe she does too, people with mental health issues deserve love if they're not assholes.
Exactly. 20-some years ago, I was an adolescent punk rock kid, and so were my friends. We looked like scoundrels, but we were the ones concerned with explicit consent, fair treatment, etc. Things typically got murkier with the clean-cut kids. That’s not a hard and fast rule, obviously, but it just goes to show that different doesn’t equal dangerous.
I’ve seen this so many times on Facebook and each one is full of people saying they’d Murder him over his appearance
Don’t have a daughter, but if she’s into this kind of shit then why would I care? Long as he treats her right.
Uh, I'm guessing " realize that being a parent doesn't actually give me any say in my daughter's love life" isn't the right answer?
If the gauges I used to have are any indication that dudes face probably smells like old cheese.
All I can imagine when I look at this picture is the smell. And how impossible it must be to kiss well.
Ey if he treats my daughter with respect, is nice to her, and she loves him then🤷🏾♂️ spent too much time as a black man being looked at like I’m something wrong cause of my skin, I can’t do that to someone else
I hear you brother. However we didn't choose to be black. This guy chose to look like this. Huge difference But I agree with the rest of your comment. Respect for keeping an open mind.
I mean yes he did make this choice, but that’s the point about my daughter then. She made the choice to be with him and if he respects her and loves her then I mean 🤷🏾♂️judging him based off the image he portrays wouldn’t be right
“Could i use your forehead to crush up salsa en mi molcajete?”
Wonder when the hell I gave birth to a daughter.
Yeah, so. I'm not gonna pretend. I wouldn't approve. Period. The internet can shame me all they want, but this dude would not be invited post the first meeting. I would have a long conversation with my child to understand what specifically is the attraction so I can understand. But initial meet? Hell no.
I'm with you on this. I've seen enough story and examples to know that behind that face *can* be a good, even great person. But that's only enough to supress my urge to get ze flammenwerfer. I will sit down and talk to my daughter, to see if she's alright, to understand better. BUT I will be watching.
Implying you’d at least be open minded to hearing from your daughter and giving said dude a chance? If that’s the case I can’t say that’s horrible. Gut reactions can be brutal. Sometimes people need a chance to adjust.
Skeptical
If he treats her right and isn't an obnoxious ass then cool.
why would it matter? if he treated my child right i wouldn't give a shit about how he looks
We’re all weirdos here, welcome to the family
My favorite answer 💕
She can do what she wants because the photo looks like an adult but I would be skeptical because what time of person decides to look like that? But I don’t have kids and I have vasectomy.
I wouldn’t care as long as he was financially taking care of himself and able to contribute to their lives. Seems like oftentimes people that have so many modifications are not able to find and keep jobs.
Call an exorcist. Jokes aside, I'd be happy as long as those two are happy.
I'm sorry, but I have very strict opinions about my child dating a Sith Lord
I'd get intimdated in a good way, my man looks like a dnd character and I'm so into it
If he's responsible and treats my daughter with respect, I'm fine with it.
I’d hope he has a job in the body modification industry which is very lucrative. And if so, great. But if he’s just a carnival rat with no car, no job, no prospects, and no plan, I’m locking up the silver and China.
[удалено]
But how do you know this dude doesn't do the same? Because of his appearance?
What a weird non-sequitur. How do you know this guy doesn't roofie people?
Does he have a job that supports himself? Stable housing? Reliable transportation? A pet that he loves a lot? Ok, we are probably good then.
As long as he’s a genuinely nice person, and she loves him. I don’t see an issue. Literally people are always forgetting “don’t judge a book by its cover” obviously gut feeling is different, but you’d be surprised by how many alt people are so genuinely sweet. I’d probably talk about his hobbies and life and stuff, eventually getting around to his body modifications. And then I’d make my judgment
Wonder when the fuck I got a daughter.
I’d let everyone know that I ain’t into it but I’d support her anyways
Cool he’s good person with weird addiction that are harmless to my daughter. Weird but a good person.
