Someone Asks “What Are You Convinced People Are Pretending To Enjoy?” And 35 People Answer

That! It s common sense!

Gin. Yes. What was the question again?

YES

I agree.

While that might be the ‘goal’ some (most) people will ‘like’ things just to fit in with a group. I grew up in a small town and with a very special ‘don’t care what you think of me’ attitude because of that but I do understand conforming to a fad or whatever to ‘fit in’ even if I don’t do that myself.

I'd rather watch paint dry. At least you can see the texture of the paint change, and the little drippy bulbs run down the wall.

The only people who genuinely enjoy it are as shallow as them. Surely?

I don't even know anyone who pretends to enjoy them, let alone actually enjoys them.

I resent the fact that Kim is now peddling her underpants in commercials that I am forced to watch. One of them starts of with her laying on the ground looking like she's about to do a porn shoot while she tells us "guys, I never used to wear underwear". She even snaps the panties against her a*s to show how stretchy they are. She's so gross. And yes, I usually change the channel or mute the TV, but sometimes I'm not quick enough. :)

I’ve never been quite clear on who the Kardashians are. All I know is that there’s a whole heard of them. I suppose that puts me in the “not very interested” crowd.

Somehow I have a hard time thinking a packed club/bar/restaurant is full of people pretending to enjoy themselves. It's not for me, but as they say, "different strokes for different folks".

Whew, I thought I was the only one who couldn't hear c**p in bars! Perfect hearing on tests, but in bars, can't hear a conversation.

Nah, i remember One night ( almost 20 winters ago ) that i went with my friend to a night club, now in all fairness we where completly drunk, but era ended up having a Nice conversation at a " table " we found on the dance floor, later in a brief momento of clarity i noticed the table was actually a frikking 1.5m tall speaker, but that didn't stopped us from continuing our chat.

Nothing like a nice evening of screaming at your friends and straining to hear their answers while some mediocre wannabe Ed Shearan is crowing in the room with bass so high your stomach is vibrating

Why do bars and restaurants blast you with music when you want to talk with your friend/s? Never understood it.

except i dont pretend to enjoy them

I recently had a friend get mad at me because I told her I hate baby showers and would not attend her daughter's baby shower. She assumed that because I'm a gay man I'd want to go hang with the ladies. I was like, "Nope." She was pissy for a few days. Have a baby shower if you need stuff, but skip the gender reveal. No one cares.

I truly enjoy baby showers, having only ever gone to my families (one sis, two step-sis and our own).

nothing more punishing than sitting through events like this but the order I'd put in to most excruciating would be 3. weddings, 2. graduations and 1. baby showers

I have only two questions that matter when an invitation to something like this comes up: 1. Is there snacks ? And 2. Is there going to be snacks?

Boring as hell. Stop making stupid people famous.

It's fun if you enjoy it ironically.

My husband loves all those shows and I don't. He REALLY loves them. I really don't.

As opposed to fantasy TV that features actors pretending to be garbage people and complaining about their lives? I loved the 21 Minds era of reality TV on VH1. I thought it was funny!

How bad it is is what makes it fun. Reality TV is my guilty pleasure.

There’s a part in a Christopher Moore book where he refers to one of his characters batting her eyelashes like “a convulsing wolf spider” and this is why I love his work. 😂

This is what happens when you use awful old mascara. I try to avoid looking like this. It's a trend, who knew?

There's a fine line between nice lashes and looking like Snuffleupagus with those things.

What the heck??? I was never in makeup but this looks Ridiculous

I work as an LMT and the number of women that come in with enormous lashes and expect to not leave them in the room when they're done with the massage is insane. Or they can't get comfortable because they're trying to fit giant eyelashes into a small hole for your face is bananas. Edit: I don't want to sound like I'm against it if it's what you like or want to look like, it just doesn't seem practical or comfortable at all lol 😆

Blessed are the cheese makers

Our church has Sunday morning service, Sunday school, bible study. I mentioned to two of our pastors that we have lots of teaching but little in the way of just plain fellowship time to get to know other people. I suggested we have a game day once a month and even agreed to be the host. One of them replied "that sounds great, we can start with a 20 minute lesson......". My heart just dropped. I get lots of teaching, what I need is friends.
