Transcript by OP

I'm a very nerdy, mostly unfeminine girl in real life who knows nothing about fashion and barely cares about clothes. And yet, for some reason I really enjoy tv shows about clothes. Project Runway. Say Yes to the Dress. What Not to Wear. I don't get it. Why do I find these so fun?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't really give a fuck about skin care (except sun screen, I care about sun screen) and even less about make-up and yet I regularly watch Youtube videos about both topics.
I guess it's maybe precisely because we don't care irl that they're fun?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it's probably lower stakes if you don't care that much.

I have a degree in Interior Design and I HATE decorating shows, because I get mad at shitty rooms, lol.

[(Anonymous)]

SA: to add...I don't judge shitty rooms in general, like when I visit a friend's house or whatever. Just things that are done on home shows ostensibly by people who are professionals but they're still bad.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I appreciate knowing that this is a thing, because shows on interior design (the few that I've come across) give me the impression that the people claiming to know how to do it are complete incompetents and just hope no one will notice if they toot their horn loud enough over the bullshit attempt at design.

Like. It seems this is one of those jobs people have because then they can boast they do it professionally, and not because they're actually any good at it.

[(Anonymous)]

NA - Oh my god, have you seen those Architectural Digest videos where they get three designers to each design a particular room their own way, with no limits?

I hate those videos so much. Often one of the three designers will do a decent job, but usually at least two of the three do some OTT, eye-wateringly loud, impractical, and expensive design, and it's like, "Who the fuck hires you people?!"

[(Anonymous)]

Heart wants what heart wants. I love watching extreme sports. But irl I am afraid of riding an elevator

[(Anonymous)]

Upvote!

[(Anonymous)]

I love all versions of Say Yes to the Dress. I think I just like looking at pretty dresses and the manufactured drama.

[(Anonymous)]

I would like it more if it didn’t seem like most of the dresses all look the same.

[(Anonymous)]

There’s a Say Yes to the Dress India on Max. The outfits are gorgeous!

[starfleetbrat]

Same. My everyday wardrobe is super casual and masculine, like just a mens t-shirt and pants. I have no interest in girly dresses or makeup or anything related to the fashion industry really and yet... I love those shows. I think part of it is the creating something from nothing aspect of it. Seeing people's creativity shine through - especially in those challenges where they have to design something from weird objects/remnants. Its also the competition - though it often baffles me why some designs win over others. I think the hosts play an important role too. They are fairly likeable imo.

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty fashion is a lot more fun without the hassle, expense, or discomfort of wearing it yourself.

At least that's what I tell myself.

[(Anonymous)]

I am very much tradgoth/vampire goth in my day to day aesthetic. But I love sitting down with my mother and sister and watching Project Runway, Say Yes to the Dress, Making the Cut, etc. Very rarely do any of the designers/clients skew towards my sense of fashion, but gosh is it fun to talk about how gorgeous or how tragic an outfit is.

[(Anonymous)]

I am mostly indifferent to a lot of sports. I’ve watched the odd game/match/whatever and I find a lot of things about the games pretty tedious. (I do like to watch a least a few different things for the Olympics, though mostly individually competitive sports, and I feel like it’s presented differently than a lot of regular televised sports.) But, man, I love me some sports movies - baseball (Major League, Angels in the Outfield, Eight Men Out, Bull Durham, A League of Their Own, The Rookie, Field of Dreams, Moneyball, Rookie of the Year), football (The Blind Side, The Replacements, Varsity Blues, Rudy, Invincible, Jerry Maguire), hockey (Hockey Night, The Mighty Ducks, Miracle), figure skating (The Cutting Edge, I, Tonya, Ice Castles), miscellaneous (Hoosiers, Race, Cool Runnings, Bend It Like Beckham, Eddie the Eagle, Happy Gilmore, Dodgeball, Wimbeldon, Days of Thunder, Stick It). I get all of the interesting drama and highlights of the sports and very little of the stuff about those sports I find tiresome.

So maybe, like me, you enjoy watching people in their element and all the inherent drama of their passion about it (especially since editing takes out a lot of the dull bits), even though it’s in a field you have no real personal interest in.

"(I do like to watch a least a few different things for the Olympics, though mostly individually competitive sports, and I feel like it’s presented differently than a lot of regular televised sports.)"

This is an intriguing point to me as someone who is a huge Olympics fan and even went to the Rio games for my honeymoon (which my husband was cool with). There does tend to be a lot of televised team sports outside of the Olympics, and commentators tend to cover up ambient noises from the competition itself. There is less of that in individual events, from what I've seen. And in person? Man, nothing can truly replicate that.

I'm aroace and a big Taylor Swift fan. I personally relate to very few of her songs, but I still enjoy them a lot. I think it's totally natural, and kind of a good thing that we are often able to enjoy media about things we have no interest in doing ourselves. :)

Honestly, I like fashion, and I think I'm more fashionable than the average person, but I'm not that fashionable. I'm just a normal person. I wear old sweatpants and a third-day t-shirt around the house a lot of the time. I think it's totally okay to be interested in something without outwardly embodying that interest.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, they're fun shows!

I'm a man and the things I'm most likely to wear out of the house is like... any combination of hawaiian shirt, hoodie, flannel, or the good ol' canadian tuxedo (and if it's not jeans on the bottom half, the odds of it being sweatpants are... not as low as I'd care to admit). If it's summer I am wearing slides. But I LOVE seeing elaborate dresses being made/worn on TV, I love to see the artistry that goes into it.
