People get their panties too much in a bunch. A lot of the negative traits people listed apply to me and that doesn't bother me. Why does everything have to be personal? Honestly who gives a **** what IdontDateAnyone thinks? People think all sorts of crazy things.

Oops, did I swear

I don't think it makes sense to call a person trashy based on generic characteristics like teeth - what if the person has a disease/condition where despite all efforts his/her teeth are in poor health. Or number of children, marriages, etc because dozens of sad/bizarre situations can lend to it. There is no way to know and context matters. As far as considering a person "trash" or or the more PC version "trashy" I wouldn't know until I was engaging with a person and to be honest, I've never come across more trash as I have online and it makes no matter what people look like, what they do, how they smell, etc. It's about what they say/how they think and it's too often repulsive. Definitely trash.

I know of very affluent people, who have everything anyone could ever want and have done all the right things, who are trashy in their own way. Elitism, to me, is trashy.

Because it's still wrong to call people who have certain characteristics as "trash". A lof of those "trashy" people are probably decent folks, but the idea of them being "trash" because you don't want to date those people as a whole, is a trashy statement which comes from a "holer than thou" kind of person.

And I certainly don't see eye-to-eye on everything that CaptainJack says, but there have been a few ppsts he's made that I agree with, and the post he made here was one of them.

You know what your standards are and what you are looking for.

Learn to focus on THAT and simply ignore all the rest.

Thinking of other human beings as "trash" is actually kind of trashy in and of itself.
Yes - this. I think it's wrong to simply dismiss any human being as "trash." They'd better have killed 6 people with an axe for no good reason, if you're gonna toss around that label.

I know too many good people who grew up with that label slapped on them for reasons beyond their control. Why you wanna add to their struggles?

And I'm amused that I got ripped a new one for using "douchebag" too freely, but "trash" seems acceptable to so many.

Douche bag has always been one of my favorite words. It describes a lot of people perfectly.

You'd've though I labeled them a child molestor. I kind of use it freely to describe people who annoy me or I'd prefer to avoid, but apparently it's a major insult. But as I noted in the other thread, I also greet my dearest friends with "Hey, motherf*****." Though I've had to tone that down since leaving the homeland.

Something tells me there wouldn't be such a rukus with people if the title of the thread was, "What you consider skanky?" "My husband is a lard ass and won't get a job." "My boss is a PITA" "Are girls who put out on the first date W****s?" "My sister is a beosh." "My ex wife is a redhead.

If you guys want to take the title he used and in the body of the post and get all literal about it - well let's get literal. "What do YOU consider trashy people?" First it's a question not a statement, if you don''t know anyone who fits that description then you don't have any real stories on the issue -then you have nothing to consider. Secondly, trashy is way about a person and trash is the person. He did not use the word trash.

If you want to post in a literal sense - then be careful and read each word in a literal sense.
