You seem to know about a lot of things...
a number of years ago someone told me that in his experience women who had their noses pierced tended to be angry at men. Now over the past 5 years, I've noticed a significant increase in women with nose piercings.
Now I'm not sure there is a 100% correlation between nose rings in women and those women being angry towards men, but I have wondered about that.
What are your thoughts?
Not Shannon but I hope I can chime in. Here's my take.
Women who had their noses pierced are, in a sense, in the same group of people who wear provocative clothes and accessories. The point of doing that is to rebel against the way people wear things normally. It could also be to seem cool, but in my opinion it's mostly the former. Someone who challenges conventions like that would be more likely to have very strong opinions and ideas, kinda "showing exactly what they are and think to people and not afraid of judgement".
Putting 2 and 2 together, I think it's sensible to say that they would be angrier at the way things are (many I've met are politically radical in some way) and not wanting to conform to seem socially / politically correct. Being angry at men would be one possible result from that.
In my own experience, women who have nose piercings are polar opposites in their attitude. Some are angry and aggressive and want to express it obnoxiously, others are so gentle and kind that I don't really get why they would want to pierce it like that.
I dated one woman in the second group for a while, it's about "self-expression" and being true to herself. She couldn't hurt a fly and give in very easily whenever an argument brews, yet she does look aloof and unfriendly because of her dress style.
Just my 2 cents.
