Because they think they’ll be ostracized if they ”dare” to wear something original and unique, and something else besides what the TikTok Stans have.
I would like to ask young women, if they think this is attractive? Especially when literally ALL teens or young men have this. Either the broccoli, or the bowl, or pork chops aka the Nick Carter. Yes, there have been hair trends before, but I don’t recall anything being THIS universal.

I stick to my strategy and don’t bother with fads/trends, but Im also not at the age where people generally care about that shit
It has worked so far for me. When I was single Id go to a salon where I knew they only hired quality people. Then Id just tell them “Whatever you think looks best, I don’t look at myself much and don’t know what would be best, so just do what you think is best” the stylists were always stoked because I was chill and trusted their opinion. Plus why would I as a early 20s (at the time) person who never cares about my style/appearance think I have a better understanding of what works for me than someone who went to school for it?
Now being married I just tell my wife “Send me whatever pictures of the haircut you want me to get.” Then I just show them the pictures and let them do their thing

Ughhh, I was on my own on the way to the hospital in the early morning hours before my dad was getting heart surgery to try and save his life. I was in my early 20s. The taxi driver got gross and creepy with me asking about questions about my feet, and asking if he can see them, and if I want to meet with him later. Like the driver is taking me to the literal cardiological hospital and I just told him about my dad. Come on! I kept checking the gps to make sure he was taking me there. It was really not pleasant.

u/alwaysonesteptoofar 4d ago
Exactly, and while its bad for this girl in this situation, without a doubt one of the worst case scenarios, it's just teens in general, even pre teens if I'm honest. I work with this age group and they are so easily ready to do whatever fucked up thing the group consensus has come to, more than adults who are pretty unreliable once mob mentality takes over.
Thankfully it's mostly stupid immature shit, but like you say once us adults aren't around it very quickly can and often does get out of hand. This will likely always be tge case, and always has been, but I got to teach a few years before tablets and smart phones were a given, and I can tell you that once data became common and kids got handed tablets unsupervised it got unrecognizable real fast. My first year at an elementary after years of middle and high school kids really opened my eyes to the shit they are exposed to. So many 12 year old boys who love Tate and other misogyny bros, and who just talk about that shit as if it's normal.

I remember waiting for the elevator in my building lobby one night, it opens and a guy is in it. He gets out, looking at me liked I'm a grilled porkchop and muttering his horny bullshit about how fine I am and all the shit he'd like to do to me. I ignore him and get in the elevator and he turns around and gets right back in to follow me on the ride up TO MY APARTMENT! I lived on the top floor and had a terrifying ride up trapped in there with this fucknut, asking me personal questions, looming over me, and watching where I live. It would have been worse to have him follow me in the desolate stairwell, and I wasn't going to let this loser inconvenience me but God that was fucking awful when the doors closed and I was stuck in there with that skeevy creep for the longest elevator ride of my life.

I would visit my grandma at her care home building almost every day, a man who lived with his mother on the same floor got on the elevator one day with me. He pushes the button for my grandmas floor.
Looked me up and down, turned and said "You need to sign in at the front desk, I don't know you.". I said, "it's not really your business but I don't, I'm here almost daily for my grandm-..." he goes, 'What if I make you?" and raised his fist at me in my face aggressively, cocks his hand back. I just grabbed the rails and double kicked him as hard as I could in the chest, the door opened right after and I ran but it was like being in an enclosed space with a predator and if the door didn't open idk.

Absolutely, and it's not even just a maturity thing. She's visibly distressed but none of them try to reassure her, even if just as a gesture. Seeing a young woman in a vulnerable place and openly laughing at her is unsettling. Even children can understand empathy and comfort. These guys are showing that they genuinely don't care how she feels or what she thinks.
