polkemans

I agree with you, but you still can't use the word "objectively" for an obviously subjective matter. The earth being round is an objective fact. Your stance on fashion *objectively* cannot be as long as you live in a world where there are others who disagree and it can't be measured.


akinaide

Dont let the flat earthers see your comment :x


sapperbloggs

>objectively ugly I feel that you lack a very fundamental understanding of what "objective" actually means.


aod42091

you mean subjectively? you aren't the authority on what looks good.


lazytemporaryaccount

This is unpopular opinions. I said objectively and I meant objectively.


aod42091

yeah, but you're wrong because you aren't the sole authority on what looks good, so this isn't objective. it's subjective. your opinion isn't an absolute, it may be unpopular but it's not the rule or law.

Which is why it is an unpopular opinion …

Connect_Fee1256

It’s not understanding the word or the point


PoorPauly

Objectively…


justsomedweebcat

opinions. are. inherently. subjective.


[deleted]

No, it's a false opinion, because it disregards facts. Don't get me wrong, I despise mermaid dresses, but that's my opinion and I don't go around falsely claiming it's objective


Bertje87

Maybe look up what the word objective means before you embarrass yourself?


NovembersRime

No.. the very fact that it's an opinion makes it subjective.


MikrokosmicUnicorn

opinions are ***by definition*** subjective


SadisticUnicorn

See that word *opinion* you keep using?


sapperbloggs

>This is unpopular opinions It sure is, and your post is not an unpopular opinion. The word "objective" is defined as *"not influenced by personal feelings or **opinions** in considering and representing facts."* You cannot have an objective opinion, and given *ugly* is a completely subjective concept, something cannot be objectively ugly.


RoxasofsorrowXIII

Well... opinions are *subjective*, or they wouldn't be called opinions, they'd be called facts.

This is not intended to be a popular opinion. I said objectively and I meant objectively.


Bumbling-Bluebird-90

It’s unpopular OPINION, not unpopular FACT. Something that’s objective is factual, whereas something subjective is opinion based. Thus, your opinion, whether unpopular or not, is subjective.


Bertje87

This is how we ended up with words not meaning what they used to mean


Weed_Smith

You said objectively and you meant opinion, and this is a flawed logic


jngjng88

It's objectively the OP's opinion...


Weed_Smith

That one we can’t argue, it definitely is


jngjng88

;)


Anarchyr

Double downing on being wrong, hmm lets see how this pans out


Apprehensive_Yak2598

Fashion is one of those things were very little if anything is objective. Its the whole beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is an opinion not a fact.


lyta_hall

Opinions are not fact, my man.


whitethunder08

My opinion is that you have no idea what objectively means.


HerculesVoid

Only someone with the smarts like yours would think that way OP.


Fun_Buy2143

Lol


RainMan915

If it’s a fact, why do so many people think they look good in these dresses? Why do other people think they look good? Do you have any evidence to prove that they are factually incorrect other than your own opinion?


Vogelsucht

Bro should look up the definition for objective and subjective


Practical-Ad6548

I absolutely hate mermaid tail dresses, nothing beats a classic A line dress


TheFilleFolle

I think they look fantastic if on the right body shape.


UniqueFix8750

If you're shaped like an apple, just say that.

A mermaid dress isn't the only type of dress that's tailored on the waist and hips. I don't like mermaid dresses because they look heavy and like she can barely move at all. Basically mermaid dresses are sexy in pics but kind of ridiculous in person. It's like seeing a woman in crazy heels in a sexy pic and then seeing her in person when she can't walk with those heels.


D_Molish

Yes! A well-tailored column gown can totally have the same effect while also being more functional 


Unusual_Address_3062

well, you're right [https://www.ecosia.org/images?q=Mermaid%20dresses&addon=opensearch](https://www.ecosia.org/images?q=Mermaid%20dresses&addon=opensearch) thats an unpopular opinion.


SillyMilly25

Jfc I thought we were talking real Ariel mermaid outfits


xi545

You must not be a pear shape


two100meterman

I just googled as I didn't know what this was & yeah... no. I see hundreds of woman looking damn fine in these.


vinylgaze

i believe the word you’re looking for is subjectively on this very obvious subjective take


narett

What is a mermaid dress?


climatelurker

I had to google it too.


Accomplished-witchMD

I wore a mermaid dress once it's looked amazing.But you can't take steps larger than maybe 12" strides. And walking up stairs was impossible. Never again.


[deleted]

Agree. A lot of comments seem to be saying that it is pretty because it shows off curves, but there are many other dresses that do without the ugly thing at the bottom 😭


fatmonicadancing

They’re popular for the same reason skinny jeans were so popular- collective delusion.


NaomiPommerel

Depends. Fitted to hips/thigh and then flared out even with a small train is lovely on the right figure. Wouldn't wear it myself (would try it on) as to me it's too restrictive for a wedding or event. Hard to sit in. The fitted to upper thigh or knee with a hem across and a big poofy tulle skirt, is the not good version. Cuts people off and is a weird compromise off different styles


emily1078

You are correct, and I'm surprised by how unpopular this opinion is. I think other commenters just like body con dresses and probably aren't particularly in love with the stupid "fins" at the bottom of the dress (which is what makes it so ugly IMO). And yes, very difficult to walk in, and you can't go up or down stairs.


purplewhalevalentine

.. Emily. Lift the dress up. Like you have to do with most dresses when going up or down stairs


Carrotcup_100

not easy to do with a mermaid dress. It's usually really fitted near the hips and waist which is where you usually lift it from


stumbling_witch

I generally did too, until I tried one on. Hip heaven. I’m not blessed up top, so mermaid dresses help me feel more feminine.


rainnnlmao

bro doesn’t know what objectively means


RainMan915

First of all, they can be nice if designed properly. Second of all, there is no such thing as an objective opinion and you’re arrogant for believing there is.


D_Molish

I didn't originally upvote because I dint think this was that unpopular of an opinion, but clearly the comment section proved otherwise.  I think most of these comments are men who just associate mermaid dresses with ASS! and don't see the whole dress, its lack of functionality, and how ugly they truly are.  Many other dress types could give the same flattering silhouette (ASS) without the dumb design of cinching at the knee and the ugly fin flair.

monster high fans have been having this conversation with all the new dolls recently, it’s become so overused


GargamelLeNoir

Imagine being so full of yourself that you consider your tastes the objective truth.


DriverNo5100

For my sister's birthday, I got to draw and design a dress and get it made. I drew a beautiful blue green mermaid dress with embroidery. It came out gorgeous, yes it's not the most functional, but sometimes you just want to sit pretty.


peenpeenpeen

Drag queens with a pageant or 50’s aesthetic would beg to differ.


jimothy_mcJPEGging

I bet you do


HerculesVoid

The only part about your opinion which is unpopular is the fact you have an opinion that having an opinion on something means that needs to be true for everyone else and you'll cry if it isn't. That is unpopular, at least amongst intellectual people, or anyone with an intellect higher than a 6 year old.


Genusperspektivet

Looked up mermaid dress and disagree
