Sasha Distan Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Alright people, this came up in discussion the other day at the pub and it got me thinking. I am very proud of not having guilty pleasures. I feel no shame in telling my friends that I love Glee, or that I listen to Nickelback out of choice, or that i think Taylor Swift rocks. These are all things i feel no shame in. But as it turns out, I do have a guilty pleasure that i don't share with my friends (and no, it's not GA) I watch Say Yes to the Dress on Youtube. why, i have no idea, but i have seen every available episode. it is not something i can explain rationally. but there you go, there's my guilty pleasure. Sharing time! Link to comment
Zombie Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 OK OK! I confess!*oh the shame ... *I was addicted to ...... THE FAB FIVE! :D ... and the theme 1 Link to comment
scotty94 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 just wanted to say that I absolutely love Justin Biber never admitted it to anyone due to good reason. and also I have every single album from the spice girls the same of it. 1 Link to comment
Kitt Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 LOL Maybe because I am older than most here, or maybe because of recent events in my life, but I see no reason to feel guilt over anything that gives you pleasure, so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. What did they start calling it? The Red Hat Society, older women who decided that the opinions of others were just so much BS and they were going to do what makes em happy? Sign me up!

Site Administrator Cia Posted June 3, 2013 Site Administrator Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hmm... I get the idea of not being ashamed of what we enjoy, but I think we all have some things we just prefer to keep to ourselves. You don't necessarily have to feel guilty over it; it just is. However, I will not be admitting to the general populace some of my favorite stories, LOL. Even I have things I enjoy I won't share (me, not go on and on about a subject? *gasps* but yes, it is true) because they are a little ... out there, lol. You know the eReader devices were really prompted in the beginning by erotica fans wanting an easier way to hide their guilty pleasures, LOL! 1 Link to comment

I met some ladies from The Red Hat Society in Brighton once and they were awesome! like i said, i was proud of not having a guilty pleasure until i realised that there was no way i would announce SYTTD to the world at large. just wanted to say that I absolutely love Justin Biber never admitted it to anyone due to good reason. and also I have every single album from the spice girls the same of it. Don't you feel better now Scotty? You know the eReader devices were really prompted in the beginning by erotica fans wanting an easier way to hide their guilty pleasures, LOL! the only reason my god father bought one was to read dirty books. I swear you will find a copy of that 50shades rubbish on like 90% of ereaders. except perhaps the ones owned by writers who have better taste 1 Link to comment
Gene Splicer PHD Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I will never publicly admit that mmbop is on a playlist on my iPod. NEVER Link to comment
Slytherin Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Move along people - nothing to see here Edited June 4, 2013 by slytherin Link to comment
Zombie Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) I used to play a game on facebook called farmville and when my friends asked me if I played I told them that the only reason I played was so my niece could get some help on her farm.. Poor girl... she doesn't play that at all Does it count, not to familiar with the term "guilty pleasure" Sounds much too sensible A guilty pleasure is where you know something is bad for you - like this ... or is shameful / embarrassing to enjoy - like this ... but you go ahead anyway Edited June 4, 2013 by Zombie Link to comment
Sasha Distan Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Sounds much too sensible A guilty pleasure is where you know something is bad for you - like this ... or is shameful / embarrassing to enjoy - like this I am not ashamed of liking either of these things! 1 Link to comment

Thorn Wilde Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I have some guilty pleasures, but I don't think I'm allowed to talk about them here.... Link to comment

Henry_Henry2012 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 My guilty pleasure is. . . I always sing when I cook and it's a must that I need to have music. I have this thing that the kitchen is my temple, and no one, I mean NO ONE is to disturb me, especially if I'm cooking something for that person or for everyone. Or if I have people around, I'd put my headset on and they'd know never to bother me. I gave my ex the evil eye one time for having a sneak-taste of the lasagne I was cooking. I nearly shoved his head in the oven. He said to me, "Okay okay. I'm backing off. . . I'm backing off now." And I also like to watch trash T.V. it makes my life normal that I don't have those issues that people have. I'm not saying the issues that are relevant, more like the ones wherein the actors in the show are discussing, "HOEMAHGAHD! I've got the wrong nail polish on. I'm gonna die. I can't live like this."

The last time my fiance tried to "help" in the kitchen i threw things at him. i missed because i throw like a girl, but he got the message. that was two years ago. now he watches from the sidelines and asks if he can please get the cola from the fridge. 1 Link to comment
Thorn Wilde Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I do all the cooking because I'm very domineering in the kitchen and whenever Magpie tries to cook, I sit on the sidelines like a backseat-driver going, 'Wouldn't it be better to do it this way?' Link to comment
