Do other races of women love fall or is it just white women?

Do Asian or black women regale about fall?

Latinas?

Beat that summer.
cold gazpacho is chill and all but it can not compete with crispy air, an outdoor fire

I hate chemically concocted pumpkin spice shit drinks. But I love Apple pie, pumpkin pie and…
Effing fall.

All of this. What's funny is that even though I have never in my life ordered a pumpkin spice drink, I actually get excited when I start seeing all the pumpkin spice signs go up because I know what comes with it.

I do enjoy a nice piece of pumpkin bread with some cold butter on top, but I don't consider that part of the "fake pumpkin spice" trend -- there's real pumpkin in it!

+1, the idea of your preferences being a sign of your specialness is weird. Most people like similar things and when someone likes a very unpopular thing, that's usually not celebrated by others.

Even stuff that is supposedly "alternative" is usually actually mainstream. Like I listen to what is called "indie" music. It's among the most popular kind of music out there right now. The bands I follow regularly sell out large venues and it can be really hard to get tickets. When I say I like Father John Misty, I'm sure that sounds pretentious to some people or like I'm trying to prove how unique and special my musical taste is, but literally everyone I know likes FJM, it's actually super basic.

Everyone loves fall. Shush.

Chill, OP. Go get a pumpkin latte and sit outside in this nice weather. This is not something to get worked up about.

I LOVE FALL! And OP is a WEIRDO!

I find it ironic that OP is accusing all of us basic fall lovers of trying to be unique when she’s clearly trying to be a pick me aka “I’m not like all those other girls who love fall.”

We get it, you’re sooooo unique for hating the season.

I also rank winter last. And tbh while I don’t love cold weather, I can deal with it with the appropriate gear. It’s the freaking nonstop illnesses that I can’t handle. We just kept getting sick last winter from basically Christmas to St. Patrick’s day. Just thinking about winter makes me utterly depressed.

I’m also someone who loves natural light and being able to open the windows for fresh air in the mornings while I sip my coffee. But it’s unpleasant when it’s freezing and dark out when you wake up and right after work. If I ever win the lotto I want to be a snow bird.

How can anyone can hate fall in New England when it INVENTED all the reasons fall is awesome?

Fall driving through Connecticut is just stunning. Bring on the haunted house podcasts.

I know I’m an outlier here, but I LOVE fall!

Yup! It’s a bonding moment for all of us who love pumpkin decor and cozy sweaters and 12 ft skeletons in yards and crunchy leaves under our feet and that smell in the air first thing in the morning.

Where did you get the idea that people say they like things to be unique. I like ice cream and soup (albeit not together). I am happy to tell people that. I do not think that makes me unique.

45-65 degrees is ideal.

Fall is effing magical though, with the colors of the leaves while grass is still green, the smell in the air, the way the light changes.

If you hate fall, you are a seriously broken person.
