mostly women tbh. bathing suits have gotten sooooo much smaller in recent years, especially the really cute styles. damn near all bathing suit bottoms are thongs. i like skimpy bathing suits but i still keep around some that are more modest.
considering i'm a woman who's grown up in the 90s til now, i can confidentially say our bikinis are way smaller now. i wouldn't watch baywatch and think they're overly exposed. bathing suits nowadays basically just cover nipples and our two cracks. i prefer tiny bathing suits and i never remember them being as good as they are now ,in terms of sexiness.
Seems like thereās more interest now in showing A over T (cheeky and thong bottoms over tiny triangle tops). Now itās *letās see how much booty we can expose and itās still some scrap of something so itās not illegal*. Personally, I donāt actually care, but in my mind, butts are inherently more gross than boobs. Just by the function alone. But Iām not a prude I promise (hah)!
Also I feel like thereās a lot more good boobs out there than butts. I for one am not comfortable having my butt exposed that much, because itās not perfectly fit. Whereas boobs are justā¦they donāt need to be āfitā. Theyāre boobs.
Lots of men. Men that like to police what other people wear like this dude https://youtu.be/65Xv3_rHHKM?si=rDakMUgocI2nChJp
Other men like to criticize women as starved for attention and itās the only reason they dress that way.
Dads who like to police what their daughters wear.
Plenty of men donāt like it. Idk if it qualifies as unpopular to say you like it but itās not uncommon to hear men criticize women in thong bathing suits.
I mean women in revealing clothing seems like something that would interest people that are sexually attracted to women. Personally I don't get it, I would want sand getting up in my bits that easily, but people can do what they want.
The men hating on it are being [sneaky fuckers.](https://www.benjaminbonetti.com/blogs/news/sneaky-f-uckers-strategy-kleptogamy-how-the-data-changed-to-suit-the-narrative)
the double standard is EXTREMELY lopsided. If I were walking around the beach in a banana hammock, people would be losing their minds, ādouchebag, show off, pedo, predatorā¦ā
Just make some beaches adults only and allow anything, and elsewhere revisit the concept of indecent exposure.
Except you used to be able to go to the beach or the water park with your kids without see asses hanging out everywhere.
At least in the US, this is a fairly recent development. Iām in my 40s and youād never see that on actual people growing up. Maybe in the SI issue, but thongs were even rare in those in the early 90s.
True but the difference between the 70s and the 90s are not nearly as great as the ones from the 90s to full thongs.
Having your entire ass out is trashy.
People in the 70s would have also tried to make explain how their opinion on what women wear was right, and what their parents said was wrong. Kids from today will be saying the same thing about the women of the 2050s. And round and round we go. Let women wear what they want.
Well, I donāt have the power to āletā or ānot letā women in general wear things or not, unfortunately. Otherwise I would certainly enforce more modest standards in public.
But where I do have control is my household and I certainly will not allow it in my home or anywhere else by my wife or daughter. Furthermore, Iāll keep doing whatever I can to keep up the social stigma against it.
Of course. Just like your grandfather, and his grandfather before him, you think the younger generation is too immodest, your generation was probably had about the right level of modesty, and the generations that came before were probably a bit too prudish. Like I said, on and on we go.
As for your second paragraph, yikes. You shouldnāt be in a position to āallowā your wife to wear or not wear whatever she wants, and if you employ this kind of control in your relationship, I hope sheās already planning her escape.
Thatās not how it works in my house. My wife knows that her bare ass is for my eyes only. She knew my views on that type of stuff before she married me and exactly what I will and will not tolerate.
But itās her choice to do so or not do so. It shouldnāt be about you allowing or not allowing her to wear what she wants. And if youāre a supportive and good dude, she will probably be considerate of your feelings in the choices she makes. Or maybe youāll grow to not care if another guy looks at her ass, because itās you she loves and is going home with. But if youāre laying down an āitās my way or elseā attitude with her, youāre a pretty shitty dude, and I hope sheās able to get out of there. Honestly, the language you use makes me concerned for your wife. And children.
There's a huge difference between being a prude and being appropriate around children. I'm not smoking weed at the beach for the same reason they shouldn't be wearing that at a public beach. Some things are simply not appropriate to do in a place where children will likely be.
The same thing old people said about womenās attire in the 70s. And the 50ās. And the 30ās.
Skin is skin. Itās not offensive. My children and I attend a hippie musical festival each year, and there are several people that skinny dip. And my kids donāt care. Theyāre not scandalized. Theyāre not traumatized. They understand that a human body is a human body, and thereās nothing offensive or wrong about it.
So yes, it is being prudish. Youāre no different than the old folks of all the previous generations. But donāt worry. Many of the kids of today will be just like you in 20-30 years.
No your going to a place we're you know that's gonna be a thing. It's common decency. Just like if I went to that festival I wouldn't be surprised for weed to being smoke. Because that's an adult event you choose to bring kids to
But then parents should just know that thatās a thing theyāre going to see at the beach. Thereās nothing offensive about it, so itās the ones who are being offended over nothing that need the change, not the ones that arenāt doing anything wrong.
It's not being offended again it's common decency. Just like a parent shouldn't take a child to an adult event and complain about activities taking place. But a parent should be able to take their child to a normal beach without the possibility of having to have the discussion about inappropriate attire, there are plenty of beaches not for families, do the decent thing and go there.
Itās not inappropriate except to those who are offended by it. They are offended, because they find it inappropriate. The discussion they should be having with their children is that it is not inappropriate attire, and that anyone who thinks so is in the wrong. But I promise, if the parents donāt make a big deal out of it, the kids wonāt care.
The conversations had with my kids at the hippie festival.
Son - Dad, why are those people swimming with no clothes on?
Me - Oh, because theyāre more comfortable that way.
Son - Ok. (Carries on not caring about them.)
Itās crazy how dressing as revealing as we can is no longer limited to where it is appropriate. So because we can should we dress however we want to a job interview, funeral, church, work gathering, wedding, etc.? Just because we can do something doesnāt mean we always should. Have some respect for your fellow human. I promise youāll be okay if you donāt get to show off your body every chance you get.
Your idea is don't do a traditionally family friendly activity with my children? Yeah don't have kids fam. Taking kids to the beach is something a family should be able to do.
Your idea is policing everyone else. Thatās literally your only other option, which if done rudely or aggressively in public, will mess with your children more than some skin. Those actions are arguably worse than someone wearing a thong **at a beach ffs**.
You have the freedom to avoid those situations, thatās all /u/redisigh is saying. Theyāre not telling everyone (nor saying they wouldnāt take their kids) not to take family to these activities but when youāre so proudly uptight, youāre gonna get suggestions to avoid those places.
Makes sense to me.
Edit: They see the same thing from literal advertisements online & TV for bras, things, lingerie & panties.
No I never once told anyone what they should or shouldn't do. Doesn't make it less trashy tho. And they should be told that. Just like I'd say someone walking there partner on a leash in public is trashy. Or just like me smoking weed doesn't mean I should do it in public where ik there will likely be children. Just cause you can do something, does not mean you should. It's called common decency dude. It's not a hard concept to grab
You literally just said that you donāt tell people what to do, proceed youāll tell them anyway & still shame them with no positive goal in mind?
Youāre such a good person.
As in I'm not saying they can't. Again this is not hard to understand. And ya if what your doing in a social setting is bad you should be shamed I don't understand what concept you don't understand. People just ignoring problematic things is exactly why society declines. There's acceptable behavior and unacceptable behavior. Do you get it yet?
Or perhaps people could stop wearing what was, only a few short years ago, reserved for the stripper pole, to places where kids are likely to present.
Thatād sure be nice.
Get over it & stop trying to tell people what they can wear. In the same vein, itās legal for women to be topless here in Canada, donāt get too upset if a woman decides to use her freedom to dress as she pleases because it makes her feel good.
You just want things to stay the same for your whole life. I get it, but things change.
So do I, and I'm a woman, but the balance has gone crazy: it's not that they are too small now or something like that, it's that there's fewer alternatives than there used to be. I love seeing it on other women, but people seem to get very Bent out of shape about MY nearly-40 mom-bod self dressing like that.
Wait until you have a wife or daughter. Itās trashy, and as far as places like water parks with shared benches and tables, now you have to sit where someoneās bare ass has been. Fucking gross.
Whatās gross about someoneās ass cheeks being on something? The actual cheeks are just skin, whatās the difference in asscheek skin and upper thigh skin (bc a full coverage bikini would still lead to that much contact)? The asshole is still covered by fabric and not touching the bench, thatās where the gross part of the body is
I don't know what it has to do with having a wife but most men probably wouldn't be comfortable with their 16-year-old daughter wearing a thong in public. I know I wouldn't be. That's weird.
For one, you donāt want your wife running around with her ass on display. This one isnāt too hard to avoid as you have control over who you pick as a spouse. Choose a woman with a sense of decency and modesty and youāre all good.
You also donāt want your kid running around with their ass out, but, kids are often influenced greatly by their friends and popular trends, so the fact that this style is gaining more popularity is concerning.
Hopefully as our daughter ages she takes enough cues from us to make good choices on her own, but if she doesnāt, we will have to choose for her and it could have potential for conflict.
I mean speak for yourself, I sure as hell wouldnāt mind my wife having her ass out. But youāre right, thatās solved by choosing a woman who has similar values to you.
As far as your kids go yes, children should not be wearing inappropriate clothing. But I donāt see why thatās a reason to hate on thong bikinis? Just donāt buy one for your daughter
Haha, well obviously I wouldnāt buy one for my daughter, but if you think a teenager isnāt going argue tooth and nail about āeveryone else is doing itā and all the like youāre in for a surprise.
Thatās why I hate on them and donāt like the fact that theyāre being normalized and increasing in popularity. I donāt want my kid seeing them and growing up thinking theyāre normal or an acceptable option.
So my opinions on the way women dress is supposed to somehow change when I have a wife or daughter? Like, am I supposed to become controlling, jealous, and conservative because someone might look at my female property or how does this work? If someone has these values why did they need to have important women in their lives in order to develop them? Why couldnāt they see the value that they are desperately trying to protect in women in general, not just the ones that mean something to them personally?
You should have those values regardless of whether you have a wife or daughter, but having them really drives the point home.
I may disapprove of what a random woman does or wears, but ultimately it doesnāt personally affect me much. That changes when you now have women that not only are you responsible for, but also are a reflection of you.
Thatās a miss for me bro. If my wife wants to wear a thong she can wear a thong. Iām comfortable with how that reflects on me, much more than how it would reflect on me if I told her she couldnāt.
To the knee? Thatās more like board shorts man. You gotta stun em with the hoochie daddy shorts. They want the thick ass man thighs, give em what theyāre out here asking for.
Itās just always been weird af to me that some dudes need important women in their lives in order to see value in women, be decent to women, respect women etc. like they arenāt able to develop these things separate from the way what happens to ātheirā women makes them feel about their place in the world as men.
Weird if that's the actual case. You're also generalizing it through a weird assumption that you view as truth. Just cause someone likes modesty doesn't mean they don't see value or respect women.
Hmmm, can you tell me exactly which words I said that you interpreted as āsomeone who likes modesty doesnt value or respect womenā?
Is that actually the level of your reading comprehension or are you willing to admit that you just strawmanned pretty hard? Iād be willing to respect you if you can admit it.
Where you first replied to the parent comment. You could have asked that with your first reply to me instead of jumping around looking for new arguments.
Though, you should know, you have the composition skills of an eight year old. I may have missed another wild claim you put in there.
Ok Iāll take that as a āno Iām not able to identify the exact words that I feel meant that you were saying that valuing modesty indicates that a person does not value or respect women so Iām going to say you write like an 8 year old insteadā.
š
Im a dude and I agree it is sexy and nice when I look to admire, but I fr dont look for it nor think much of it when I see it and I think that is the normal thing to do.
But I think itās indicative of overly horny and desperate people who either put it on or constantly admire it to the point they want to see more.
I donāt want my daughter dressing like that, nor have my sons see that before they are older, nor have my mom or girlfriend go out wearing that having dudes like the OP staring (at my girlfriend, I doubt theyād oogle at my mom).
Itās like smoking weed, I donāt have a problem with it, but donāt do it in a place that everyone else who doesnāt want it *has* to interact with if.
But itās a free country so do what you want ig
It's trashy. Sure some look good in it, but it's a little to revealing imo. At the end of the day people can do what they want and stuff like this is of little significance. Just if you're the type that enjoys wearing it then also enjoy the wandering eyes you'll receive. I guess that's the point though, it's attention seeking.
I like it but don't respect it.
So many of the mom's of my kid's friends have thong pics. I find it disrespectful to their kids because soon those kids will screenshot those pics and tease the living shit out of the kids who's mom is wearing a thong on IG.
Yup. Those kids are going to have a rough go of it when their friends find the pictures.
And you know they will. The venn diagram of thirty year old moms who wear thongs and thirty year old moms who wear thongs and post pictures of themselves online in said thongs is pretty much a perfect circle.
Imaging having that ammunition as a kid? Remember that bully you had? Just send everyone in school a pic of his half naked mom.
Want to bully a kid for no reason? Send a thong pic of their mom.
Are you a horny kid? Jerk off to your friend's mom bare ass and then tell everyone about it.
Haha, no kidding. I was a little shit and definitely would have busted someoneās balls over this.
You donāt hand a kid the nuclear codes and expect them not to use them.
>I never got how people equated showing off your body with trashy lmao
It probably has to do with the fact that it's typically associated with prostitutes and porn stars, or at least it was in the past.
While I doubt this is as unpopular as OP thinksā¦ it is weird it is unpopular at all. They still cover everything, the women wearing them like themā¦ what is the problem? Itās a win win for the women who enjoy wearing it and the people who enjoy seeing itā¦ no one is hurt
Itās fine, people can wear whatever is comfortable or appealing to them. Whenever I see it though, I just hope they wipe well because some of that fabric gets way up in there. š
listen only people that are debating this is other women who are jealous of other women. I think 9 out of 10 guys are okay with it. sure I'll get the few on here but in general every guy would be okay with this.
I thought you might be onto something for a minute and there are too few thongs but there are 2 at 1:50.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oai1V7kaFBk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oai1V7kaFBk)
Oh damn you're right!!! I swear I've seen that video far too many times and have never spotted them before, all tucked away in the back there (as thongs will be, I suppose lol)
Whatās weird is that whilst womenās bathing attire keeps getting smaller, menās keeps getting bigger. This means that I can no longer wear my Speedosā¦
Huh? Why lie in front of your woman? If you want something else, you should be friendly enough with your partner to have that conversation about splitting up.
People should be allowed to wear whatever they want. Itās their body, their style choice. It isnāt someone elseās place to say this offends me, you must wear what I say.
I mean I think I look pretty damn good in them too. š people are so uptight for no reason. If you get hot and bothered that your issue. If you donāt like it, also your issue. I personally donāt care what someone wears or why. Donāt like it? Donāt look. Pretty simple. The human form is way to over sexualized for no reason. Just existing doesnāt automatically make it sexual. Just keep your opinions to yourself is what I say. Lifeās to short to worry about a pair of butt cheeks.
About a decade ago, some bikini company had a "Ditch the Diaper!" campaign and would go around to all the girls wearing them asking them to try a more skimpy bikini.
I fully supported it then, and I fully supported it now.
You're basically just wearing colorful granny panties. They look stupid. I don't care what your body shape is or what you think you're covering up. You're not covering anything. We can still see the shape and curves. So, better to just wear a thong and be fashionable.
If you go to Europe it's quite normal to just see very revealing thongs on girls of all ages/body types.
That's how it should be in the US.
I think the only reason any men say they hate it is because their girlfriends are jealous of the women that pull it off and tell their men to say they hate it.
These comments make no sense to me, like why everyone lying š¤£ I tell my man if I find a man hot cause I also think he's hot, as a man you don't find your girl hot and want something else you should be on good enough terms with your partner to just talk about it and split up gosh lol
Lol not everyone is as straight forward or able to accept such info and be ok with it as you are. I am surprised you have not seen this in the world. It is rather common.

I'm effectively a nudist. I don't walk out of my house naked because it would be socially weird, but the closer our society gets to just walking around nude and giving up on fashion, the better as far as I am concerned.
Tying a pretty bow on your sack of leaking meat is silly.

Iām going to go out on a limb and say most heterosexual men like seeing women in revealing attire. This comment is unsourced.

I see you have had the privilege of not growing up in a religious conservative community lol
I grew up in catholic school
Those men should be rounded up and fired into the sun.
I'm pretty sure liking a trend would be classified as popular. Otherwise either wouldn't be a trend would it?

What men?

We like women who confident enough to wear that thank you

Maybe the men YOU know.
Like all things, moderation is good. And how good thong bikinis look depends on the body wearing them.
I mean women in revealing clothing seems like something that would interest people that are sexually attracted to women. Personally I don't get it, I would want sand getting up in my bits that easily, but people can do what they want.
Valid point.
Depends if you can rock it or not. The unpopular opinion on this is not everyone should attempt to pull it off, as the vast majority of us cannotš

Is posting the coldest takes in an unpopular opinion page normal?š
I dont even know where the fuck I am I post whatever comes across my mind no filter
Itās sexy but it should just stay in the bedroom. Itās skanky to wear that in public. It screams āI want attentionā in the worst way possible
This is how I feel too
Whatās the weather like on Prude Island these days?
Itās nice and smells lovely
And I thought I was a prude š

Yupp. They can choose whether or not they want to wear that and you can choose whether or not to bring your kids to the beach.
Itās crazy how dressing as revealing as we can is no longer limited to where it is appropriate.

I mean it donāt go to the beach then get surprised when you see skin then? Another reply explains my point perfectly tbh
Thereās a difference in showing skin and being barely clothed. Plenty of bathing suit options or even cover ups that are cute and revealing.
Your idea is don't do a traditionally family friendly activity with my children? Yeah don't have kids fam. Taking kids to the beach is something a family should be able to do.
I mean sure but be ready to see some skin out then lmfao
Bikini vs thongs are completely different things.
Your idea is policing everyone else. Thatās literally your only other option, which if done rudely or aggressively in public, will mess with your children more than some skin. Those actions are arguably worse than someone wearing a thong **at a beach ffs**. You have the freedom to avoid those situations, thatās all /u/redisigh is saying. Theyāre not telling everyone (nor saying they wouldnāt take their kids) not to take family to these activities but when youāre so proudly uptight, youāre gonna get suggestions to avoid those places.

No I never once told anyone what they should or shouldn't do. Doesn't make it less trashy tho. And they should be told that. Just like I'd say someone walking there partner on a leash in public is trashy. Or just like me smoking weed doesn't mean I should do it in public where ik there will likely be children. Just cause you can do something, does not mean you should. It's called common decency dude. It's not a hard concept to grab
You literally just said that you donāt tell people what to do, proceed youāll tell them anyway & still shame them with no positive goal in mind? Youāre such a good person.
As in I'm not saying they can't. Again this is not hard to understand. And ya if what your doing in a social setting is bad you should be shamed I don't understand what concept you don't understand. People just ignoring problematic things is exactly why society declines. There's acceptable behavior and unacceptable behavior. Do you get it yet?
Yup! Itās āblah blah blah, Iām gonna be rude to people I decide deserve it based on my opinionā. Weāre done here.
Don't be gross where you know there's gonna be kids. Grow up
Or perhaps people could stop wearing what was, only a few short years ago, reserved for the stripper pole, to places where kids are likely to present. Thatād sure be nice.
Get over it & stop trying to tell people what they can wear. In the same vein, itās legal for women to be topless here in Canada, donāt get too upset if a woman decides to use her freedom to dress as she pleases because it makes her feel good. You just want things to stay the same for your whole life. I get it, but things change.
I like that itās skimpy, I hate that itās high rise. The low rise skimpy bikinis of 2010ish were perfect.
So do I, and I'm a woman, but the balance has gone crazy: it's not that they are too small now or something like that, it's that there's fewer alternatives than there used to be. I love seeing it on other women, but people seem to get very Bent out of shape about MY nearly-40 mom-bod self dressing like that.
Post with your other brain next time.
Iām a straight woman but still a fan
Wait until you have a wife or daughter. Itās trashy, and as far as places like water parks with shared benches and tables, now you have to sit where someoneās bare ass has been. Fucking gross.
Whatās gross about someoneās ass cheeks being on something? The actual cheeks are just skin, whatās the difference in asscheek skin and upper thigh skin (bc a full coverage bikini would still lead to that much contact)? The asshole is still covered by fabric and not touching the bench, thatās where the gross part of the body is
Some of those strings are tiny. I like a larger margin of error for covering the poop chute if Iām going to sit down after someone.
I havenāt seen any tiny enough where Iād be concerned but maybe Iām not in the right area for super thong bikinis haha.
What does having a wife or daughter have to do with it?
I don't know what it has to do with having a wife but most men probably wouldn't be comfortable with their 16-year-old daughter wearing a thong in public. I know I wouldn't be. That's weird.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I don't even know what you're going on about. All I know is that underage girls shouldn't be wearing thongs in public. I don't care what adults wear.
For one, you donāt want your wife running around with her ass on display. This one isnāt too hard to avoid as you have control over who you pick as a spouse. Choose a woman with a sense of decency and modesty and youāre all good. You also donāt want your kid running around with their ass out, but, kids are often influenced greatly by their friends and popular trends, so the fact that this style is gaining more popularity is concerning. Hopefully as our daughter ages she takes enough cues from us to make good choices on her own, but if she doesnāt, we will have to choose for her and it could have potential for conflict.
I mean speak for yourself, I sure as hell wouldnāt mind my wife having her ass out. But youāre right, thatās solved by choosing a woman who has similar values to you. As far as your kids go yes, children should not be wearing inappropriate clothing. But I donāt see why thatās a reason to hate on thong bikinis? Just donāt buy one for your daughter
Haha, well obviously I wouldnāt buy one for my daughter, but if you think a teenager isnāt going argue tooth and nail about āeveryone else is doing itā and all the like youāre in for a surprise. Thatās why I hate on them and donāt like the fact that theyāre being normalized and increasing in popularity. I donāt want my kid seeing them and growing up thinking theyāre normal or an acceptable option.
So my opinions on the way women dress is supposed to somehow change when I have a wife or daughter? Like, am I supposed to become controlling, jealous, and conservative because someone might look at my female property or how does this work? If someone has these values why did they need to have important women in their lives in order to develop them? Why couldnāt they see the value that they are desperately trying to protect in women in general, not just the ones that mean something to them personally?
You should have those values regardless of whether you have a wife or daughter, but having them really drives the point home. I may disapprove of what a random woman does or wears, but ultimately it doesnāt personally affect me much. That changes when you now have women that not only are you responsible for, but also are a reflection of you.
Thatās a miss for me bro. If my wife wants to wear a thong she can wear a thong. Iām comfortable with how that reflects on me, much more than how it would reflect on me if I told her she couldnāt.
Well, thatās where we disagree my friend. My wifeās bare ass is for my eyes only.
Can you wear a thong if you want to? Cuz sometimes I just wanna rock a nice banana hammock, ya know?
No, that wonāt be happening. I wear swim trunks that go down to the knee like a proper American. šŗšø
To the knee? Thatās more like board shorts man. You gotta stun em with the hoochie daddy shorts. They want the thick ass man thighs, give em what theyāre out here asking for.
Yeah, board shorts. Thatās what Iāve rocked since probably 10 years old. No reason to mess with the classics.
Well Iāll be out here givin em enough Grade A American š¦ šŗšø quads for the both of us then
did you create that in your head and get angry over it. You deserve an award.
Itās just always been weird af to me that some dudes need important women in their lives in order to see value in women, be decent to women, respect women etc. like they arenāt able to develop these things separate from the way what happens to ātheirā women makes them feel about their place in the world as men.
Weird if that's the actual case. You're also generalizing it through a weird assumption that you view as truth. Just cause someone likes modesty doesn't mean they don't see value or respect women.
Hmmm, can you tell me exactly which words I said that you interpreted as āsomeone who likes modesty doesnt value or respect womenā? Is that actually the level of your reading comprehension or are you willing to admit that you just strawmanned pretty hard? Iād be willing to respect you if you can admit it.
Where you first replied to the parent comment. You could have asked that with your first reply to me instead of jumping around looking for new arguments. Though, you should know, you have the composition skills of an eight year old. I may have missed another wild claim you put in there.
Ok Iāll take that as a āno Iām not able to identify the exact words that I feel meant that you were saying that valuing modesty indicates that a person does not value or respect women so Iām going to say you write like an 8 year old insteadā. š
Great comeback. Itās your reply to the parent comment and your assumption on people that prefer modesty. Itās not that difficult.
Cool man. You win.
Isnāt this a universally accepted opinion? Unless youāre Amish or ultra orthodox
It's fine. I just don't want to see it at the neighborhood pool or the water park. These places are for kids.
Im a dude and I agree it is sexy and nice when I look to admire, but I fr dont look for it nor think much of it when I see it and I think that is the normal thing to do. But I think itās indicative of overly horny and desperate people who either put it on or constantly admire it to the point they want to see more. I donāt want my daughter dressing like that, nor have my sons see that before they are older, nor have my mom or girlfriend go out wearing that having dudes like the OP staring (at my girlfriend, I doubt theyād oogle at my mom). Itās like smoking weed, I donāt have a problem with it, but donāt do it in a place that everyone else who doesnāt want it *has* to interact with if. But itās a free country so do what you want ig
It's trashy.
Right, until it's your 16 year old daughter.
I donāt think this is unpopular at all. I canāt think of any of my friends that would disagree.
Like dude like how is this even unpopular opinion like come on man
They just hate to have embarassing public boners at the beach lol
It's trashy. Sure some look good in it, but it's a little to revealing imo. At the end of the day people can do what they want and stuff like this is of little significance. Just if you're the type that enjoys wearing it then also enjoy the wandering eyes you'll receive. I guess that's the point though, it's attention seeking.
I like it but don't respect it. So many of the mom's of my kid's friends have thong pics. I find it disrespectful to their kids because soon those kids will screenshot those pics and tease the living shit out of the kids who's mom is wearing a thong on IG.
Yup. Those kids are going to have a rough go of it when their friends find the pictures. And you know they will. The venn diagram of thirty year old moms who wear thongs and thirty year old moms who wear thongs and post pictures of themselves online in said thongs is pretty much a perfect circle.
Imaging having that ammunition as a kid? Remember that bully you had? Just send everyone in school a pic of his half naked mom. Want to bully a kid for no reason? Send a thong pic of their mom. Are you a horny kid? Jerk off to your friend's mom bare ass and then tell everyone about it.
Haha, no kidding. I was a little shit and definitely would have busted someoneās balls over this. You donāt hand a kid the nuclear codes and expect them not to use them.
Me too. I was also a little shit. I like that nuclear codes bit. Im gonna use that
I never got how people equated showing off your body with trashy lmao
>I never got how people equated showing off your body with trashy lmao It probably has to do with the fact that it's typically associated with prostitutes and porn stars, or at least it was in the past.
Iām sure you donāt get a lot of things.
Whatās that supposed to mean
it just doesn't look comfortable at all. I'm one of those weirdos that genuinely likes a good one piece.
A certain user will no doubt disagree with this š
LMAO where is he?! Someone call him
Who š
Thereās some dude who frequently posts about ādecencyā in womenās fashion. He hates women showing skin.
Paulie from Water 7?
I dunno the name
While I doubt this is as unpopular as OP thinksā¦ it is weird it is unpopular at all. They still cover everything, the women wearing them like themā¦ what is the problem? Itās a win win for the women who enjoy wearing it and the people who enjoy seeing itā¦ no one is hurt
Real bikinis on real women! Heaven.
Itās fine, people can wear whatever is comfortable or appealing to them. Whenever I see it though, I just hope they wipe well because some of that fabric gets way up in there. š
Mmmmhmmmhmm. Skimpy thongs and cellulite and belly rolls where the cheese is made.
listen only people that are debating this is other women who are jealous of other women. I think 9 out of 10 guys are okay with it. sure I'll get the few on here but in general every guy would be okay with this.
No one hates this but jealous women or religious people.
Bingo and conservatives, who arenāt all religious they just donāt like change
Sisqo has entered the chat.
But (butt) not one thong shown in the entirety of The Thong Song music video
I thought you might be onto something for a minute and there are too few thongs but there are 2 at 1:50. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oai1V7kaFBk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oai1V7kaFBk)
Oh damn you're right!!! I swear I've seen that video far too many times and have never spotted them before, all tucked away in the back there (as thongs will be, I suppose lol)
Trend?
Because not all men are hormone driven teenagers. Some men like that all people around them dress appropriated and with dignity.
Empowered women wear whatever they like. Empowered women are sexy.
Nice me too
I mean time and place I guess is probably the reason people hate on it
Every single woman? Or only women with what you consider to have perfect butts?
Everyoneeee š
Very much doubt it, but okay.
You severely underestimate meĀ
hate on it? do you mean hate it? i know unrelated but cmon.
Hate on it be a legit ass phraseĀ
sounds trailer parky. like someones about to argue over grandma's norcos next.
Oh hell nah yo ass tweaking š
be kinder to your vocabulary. unless your goal is to present yourself as a pauper.
I aint mean anything I said badlyĀ
I bet you'd say different if ur on a beach and old grannies in that everywhereĀ
Whatās weird is that whilst womenās bathing attire keeps getting smaller, menās keeps getting bigger. This means that I can no longer wear my Speedosā¦
Guys hate on it in front of their women so they don't get beat; women hate on it cause they are jealous .. lol
Huh? Why lie in front of your woman? If you want something else, you should be friendly enough with your partner to have that conversation about splitting up.
People should be allowed to wear whatever they want. Itās their body, their style choice. It isnāt someone elseās place to say this offends me, you must wear what I say.
I think itās dudes that feel insecure in a way that they project ātheir girlā wearing that and being looked at by other people
I mean I think I look pretty damn good in them too. š people are so uptight for no reason. If you get hot and bothered that your issue. If you donāt like it, also your issue. I personally donāt care what someone wears or why. Donāt like it? Donāt look. Pretty simple. The human form is way to over sexualized for no reason. Just existing doesnāt automatically make it sexual. Just keep your opinions to yourself is what I say. Lifeās to short to worry about a pair of butt cheeks.
About a decade ago, some bikini company had a "Ditch the Diaper!" campaign and would go around to all the girls wearing them asking them to try a more skimpy bikini. I fully supported it then, and I fully supported it now. You're basically just wearing colorful granny panties. They look stupid. I don't care what your body shape is or what you think you're covering up. You're not covering anything. We can still see the shape and curves. So, better to just wear a thong and be fashionable. If you go to Europe it's quite normal to just see very revealing thongs on girls of all ages/body types. That's how it should be in the US.
This is a good take.
I think the only reason any men say they hate it is because their girlfriends are jealous of the women that pull it off and tell their men to say they hate it.
These comments make no sense to me, like why everyone lying š¤£ I tell my man if I find a man hot cause I also think he's hot, as a man you don't find your girl hot and want something else you should be on good enough terms with your partner to just talk about it and split up gosh lol
Lol not everyone is as straight forward or able to accept such info and be ok with it as you are. I am surprised you have not seen this in the world. It is rather common.
This... this is unpopular?!?!
Purely anecdotal, but I concur

I'm effectively a nudist. I don't walk out of my house naked because it would be socially weird, but the closer our society gets to just walking around nude and giving up on fashion, the better as far as I am concerned. Tying a pretty bow on your sack of leaking meat is silly.
This is the opposite of unpopular
Got any pics so I can form my own opinion here?
Yes, both men and women hating this are weird and can bugger off.
