Oh jfc, you deserve to be alone until you die.

Exactly my thought!

I wear AirPods when I walk so that I don't disturb others. I listen to audiobooks and am learning a language. If anyone wants to judge me, that's on them.

Heaven forbid a man wear airpods to listen to music or an audiobook or podcast or whatever when it makes OP think he is less manly.

After all only women and children can enjoy listening to things.

This. My nephew wears his all the time. So do my nieces.

Is it only “ick” if male? Just don’t understand what’s “douchey” about it.


When I see folks with them in all the time, I assume it’s because they want to limit interruptions or interactions with the masses. They silently say, “leave me alone”.

It’s not quite as bad as vaping indoors but it’s up there.

It's not a good look for anyone, in my opinion, but in the big scheme of things, it's a mere detail.

Would you rather they have whatever they are listening to just on speaker for everyone to hear?

No, mine are always super interesting and highly educational for anyone who reads them.

No

Not every fleeting thought you have needs to be posted online.

It's douchey.

Whether it's a dating profile photo or randomly during the day. There's something juvenile and/or feminine about them, am I right? Or maybe it's just men who seem to have them in their ears all day (doing what, listening to NPR or podcasts all day? like they can't just enjoy some silence and their own thoughts). I can't explain it but it gives me the ick.
