I don't understand the appeal of fake mustaches on girls. Does this mean they're funny?

I love this. If only because I have totally thought before, WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH ALL THESE OKCUPID GIRLS WEARING FAKE MUSTACHES. I'd think that was a joke if it wasn't real!

No. No it does not. Nor cute. Not ever. Same with duckface or flipping off the camera or pointing your toes inward coquettishly.

Mustache duck face.
Both of these need to stop.

I'm here to complain about women having fun. They should just pose sexily all day for my enjoyment.

Agreed. Glad I'm not the only one who finds this off putting. It's gender play about as much as putting on a green plastic bowler and drinking green beer is embracing irish culture.

I don't think anyone is not "allowing" them to have fun or dictating what they should do. If copying a meme is fun to them, god bless.

Flagged because I think when people post photos on OK Cupid they don't expect them to be posted all over the greater internet universe. I know I wouldn't want to see my mug on a tumblr.

Where is your quoted 'allowing' from?

You're right, it's part of a greater sexist conspiracy to make fun of this.
I will now always notice and be annoyed by the fake-surprised pose.

Are we on ok Cupit? Is this where we talk about how people should or shouldn't look in pictures? Is there a form to fill out? Likes. None. Dislikes. Legion (ella ella ella Aiiirs, aiiirs).
Maybe they are weeding out Very Serious Dudes who find harmless silliness "off-putting"... I hope thats what it is anyway. That's mirror-verse Eugenics logic for you. Or it is a service, so that "you" (someone who they have no interest in dating) can know that they are "one of them", and everyone involved can go find someone they really love.com...
Mustaches are HILARIOUS (even the word is funny [people are hilarious, and have hair, it's really pretty funny])!
(Why should I care that they are into Star Trek Mirror Verse Cos-play? The costumes kinda suck, but eh, no biggie. Didn't even TICKLE my outrage metre. Did you hear about that Turtle in Stockholm though? Two packs a day!)!

Why, if you dislike something that happens to be on a female, do you suddenly become a sexist asshole who hates all women and shames on their fun?
I don't like orange tans either, on either sex.

If I'm given a fake mustache, I'm putting it on. It's human nature. You could probably stop a riot or a war dead in its tracks if you drop fake mustaches from the sky like a ticker-tape parade.

Seconded, for that reason I feel like this is a little bit on the creepy side. I might feel differently if this site were only accessible to people who were already OKCupid members, but when I was a member there I wouldn't have wanted the pictures I had up to be reposted to some random tumblr.

Yeah. And then Metafilter flacidly comes along and makes it even creepier with everybody saying how all of these "females" displease them.

03. but only on special occasions
that is all.
