I hope that someone can help me with this. I need a very honest opinion about a question I’ve been asking myself for months.
I wear a very vintage style, not the cute, pin-up one which is often portrayed in Medias, but a really historically accurate look from the 40's.
I've never really thought too much about it before, it was just a fun way to prolong my interest in this time period to me. But recently, a friend of mine confessed that he uses to have very negative and specific opinion back when he first saw me,just because of my look.
I asked him if it was one of the usual cliché insults like “oh she must be boring/ conceited” or she is a “goody two-shoes/ nerd /weirdo”.
But then he made a face, and told me in a polite way that it was actually worse than that.
He then promptly refused to tell me more, and still refuses to talk about it nowadays. As an "excuse" he told me that he wasn't the only one who thought like him, inside and outside of my social circle.
I’m wondering what have I been missing all this time?
I'm ok with the idea of someone having bad assumptions about me because of my style. People make presumptions about other people all the time, and I think that it's totally normal and fine as long as you stay neutral.
Although, I’m still very curious about the exact nature of those presuppositions. Was it about my personality, standard of living, political orientation, sexual orientation, etc…?
Do you guys might have some idea what could it be?
