>girl is a frumpy bookworm with zero sex appeal, shitty social skills and a terrible fashion sense
>turns out she's actually a bombshell, she was just playing herself down for any number of dumb reasons
Why is this stupid fucking trope still around and when will it die?
>>78467494
It will never die because boners outweigh opinions. Never underestimate the power of boners. Boners!
glasses girls are cute.
>>78467546
Tits!
>>78467556
ASS!
>>78467494
Nearly every girl plays herself down at one point, baka
>>78467569
>not both
>>78467494
>shit-talking She's All That
nah family nah
>>78467494
I don't recall seeing this trope in cartoons that much.
Easy to write and like >>78467573 said it panders to real world issues
>>78467494
Good characters are never ugly, they're simply hiding their beauty.
Are you ugly, anon? Then maybe you should be rethinking your life.
>>78467556
>>78467569
>she kinda has neither
so what, I'd still fuck her
>>78467579
Big tits become actually unatractive when women get older. But the ass is always fat.
This type of thing won't be disappearing any time soon as it's a ready-made story that writers can use forever.
>>78467494
>trope
Kohai...
>>78467494
It's not awfully common, you just pay more attention to it because you hate it and you think it's more prominent.

Wish Linda had more time than the movie automatically focusing on the animals, some of the critter antics got too annoying
>>78467494
U r dumb.
>>78467494
Because it gives people who can't get hot chicks the hope that they could score a hottie who doesn't know she's a hottie and/or doesn't play up her sex appeal. Turns out those exist irl.
So yeah, it's not dying.
>>78467649
>ass doesnt sag on older women
hahaha fag
>>78467494
>turns out she's actually a bombshell
What the fuck are you even talking about, how is that a "bombshell"? She looks exactly same, a nerdy girl with an average body, only she's wearing some sexy clothing (and completely shy and awkward about it). That isn't "bombshell", that's you being "oh god i'm so lonely i'll get a boner to anything".
>>78467546
>implying this isnt a female escapism fantasy
protip: its women who think that they are hot super models, they are just too 'empowered' to be bothered to pander to dumb males LOL PATRIARCHY.
>mfw I like frumpy girls but all the good ones get whored out in the end of tv/movies
>>78467798
In real life lots of women are tryhard as fuck to get men's attention/approval/boners.
>>78467494
Rio sucked anyway
>>78467873
Silly boy, they don't do it for us.
They do it for other women.
Women dress up and apply their makeup for the attention and approval of other women. Unless she's trying to grab a specific guy's attention, or going on a date, everything else is just to keep other women from talking shit about her behind her back.
The sisterhood is not real, it's nothing but a power struggle.
>>78467970
Who cares about the minutia of why you think they think they do it, fact is they do it.
>>78467494
Because this trope is what forges best girls.
>>78467808
>frumpy girl is actually likeable and pleasant
>she just needs confidence to appraoch her crush
>who needs confidence when you have an overhaul?
>mfw cute girl becomes a slut at the end of the movie/tv show
>>78467494
>bombshell
Let's be honest you guys, she was nothing special. An girl would look great when they're waying what amounts to a winged bikini.
The ending of this movie always bothered me. Blu and Linda were absolutely content with their lives at the start of the film but them being alone in Minnesota is presented as a bad thing.
I mean I guess Blu getting a girlfriend and Linda getting a matching husband and son is great but it just didn't feel like it was necessary.
>>78468169
But many chicks do get more confident from looking sluttier.
>>78468169
What'd you think of the movie grease?
>>78467728
You can't get chicks, got it.
>>78467546

That's because according to Hollywood and New York, the midwest is a shithole best left ignored that people must escape from.
>>78467808
>into buckteeth
>into gap teeth
>into lazy eyes
>into pointy faces
>into girls hanging out in a t shirt and pajama bottoms and no bra
I don't know what to call it. Sarah Plain and Tall fetish? Frump fetish? As long as her hair isn't thin and her breasts shape her body well and she doesn't have a mustache, all the little things girls count against themselves are kind of hot for me.
>>78468343
>That's because according to Hollywood and New York, the midwest is a shithole best left ignored that people must escape from.
Yet according to the midwest, being in your 30's, single, never married/no kids, and enjoying the companionship our pet is a bad situation.
>>78468343
According to the midwest the midwest is a hothole best left ignored that people must escape from
I've been here most of my life and can't fathom why anyone would want to be here permanently. There's nothing to do, culture is nonexistant and half the people are racist.
>>78468253
Well? How does that invalidate what I said?
>>78468343
Every place that isn't a big city is Podunkville, Nebraska
This is parodied in this sixties romantic comedy. A guy asks his frumpy secretary to take off her glasses and let down her hair, and that doesn't instantly make her beautiful. The guy's a little surprised and disappointed, noting thatit always works in movies
>>78468251
The girl wanted to impress greaser scum, so maybe the girl wasn't actually that good to begin with. I always hated what she did to her hair...The musical numbers are pretty good, I can't deny that.
>>78468385
>I don't know what to call it. Sarah Plain and Tall fetish? Frump fetish?
Low standards.I also like frumpy grils, just call it what it is
Although the socially awkward thing doesn't apply.
>>78468424
There's a difference between low standards and finding that stuff hot tho
Like, I'd rather date a girl with a weird face than an objective 8/10
>>78467494
Hey OP, wanna know something funny about the girls that post on /co/, probably about all the girls that post on 4chan?
We all either knowingly play ourselves down, or we unknowingly sabotage ourselves.
>>78467808
>>78468385
>>78468424
My niggers. The only thing better than frumpy, nerdy looking girls issexy/attractive girls being transformed into homely geeks.
>>78467494
It persists because it's not just a nerdy female wishful fantasy. Plenty of guys love the prospect of a 'diamond in the rough'.
Also these sorts of women do exist. There was a girl in my high school, generally cute nerdy appearance, but nothing that would stand out in a crowd. Hair usually in a bun, typically wore big, baggy Velma sweaters, and only her fairly-snug jeans ever gave the horny teenage eye something to linger on.
Then one day she comes in wearing what was basically a denim bustier (which hefted up her previously-hidden huge tits like they were on a platter), matching jean half-jacket, hair down, glasses not worn unless she needed them for reading, and even a touch of makeup. Suddenly she was a fucking dream girl. I think it only lasted a day, because I don't recall her ever dressing like that again, but she showed she could turn heads if she wanted. Frankly I don't think anyone else in that school during my time could hold a candle to her.
>>78467494
As a frumpy bookworm with zero sex appeal, shitty social skills and a terrible fashion sense, I can confirm that this kind of shit never happens in real life and it's entirely fantasy.
>>78468832
This is adorable
>>78468821
There's a difference between all that shit and being literally ugly in the face.
>>78468169
Ah yes Grease >>78468251 aww damnit you beat me to it.
>>78468849
Do not trust the Mengelizard.
>>78468169
Why do I get the impression that your idea of a slut is very all encompassing?
>>78467494
Because guys like nerd girls more than girls like nerd guys.
>>78468169
>who needs confidence when you have an overhaul?
Um, everyone does? Men included.
>>78468393
That's because modern Western societies urge people to be extroverted, thrill-seeking party animals. Austerity and introversion are treated with contempt.
>>78468708
>Posting the inferior version
Don't worry, I've got you bro
>>78469514
Man you're really bad at detecting sarcasm.
>>78469671
/co/ is full of autists like that.
>>78469634
>>78468708
I don't see the difference
>>78469801
Look at the faces
>>78469671
I noticed the sarcasm. I just decided to give a straightforward answer regardless: Hollywood stars owe their looks to their squads of trainers and consultants following them 24/7 and whom regular people don't have access to.
>>78469732
Whoa. Nevermind. We have a chad here, folks! Everyone bow to Lord Chad and praise his normieness...
>>78468832
She lies to them about the human world and they live in denial
>>78469863
>implying Hollywood stars look more attractive than "regular people"
Woman pls. I see women every day who are as hot as them and they don't have personal trainers and shit.
A similar problem exists in adult comics too.
>two nice girls know eachother, generally well mannered and polite
>Decide to make with the sex time
>"aw yeah take it slutty fuck bitch ass shit tits!"
Makes me seething in hate every time, as if a 12 year old wrote their lines.
>>78468227
>husband and son
You mean Husband and Bull.
>>78468708
Is that... like Bimbofication, only the target transformation is to become a nerd? Does she still crave cock/cum? That's kind of a big thing for me.
>>78470487
Lets open the bud gates
>>78469634
I like them pimples tho
>>78470668
Are the skeletons going to gang bang freedom?
>>78469936
You're dumb if you don't think those women don't also use gyms/spas/good nutritional habits. Plus there's the good make up and clothes which is expensive too.
Bottom line is if you wanna look as good as possible you're gonna have to fork out the cash.
>>78467494
Because frumpy girls are all secretly conceited and think they're great and that no one notices. This cliche is never leaving because it gets teenaged girls buying merchandise.
>>78469634
Just like the girl I love my V toI still love her
>>78474293
You are not alone in this feel
>>78467546
>>78468821
All you need is a bored "Chad" that takes you on as a pet project. It happened to me and it changed my entire life.
>>78470095
When I'm bored and horny I sometimes think about rewriting porn comics so they aren't written by 12 year olds, since I think I'm a pretty decent writer
you guys think /h/ or /aco/ would like that service?
>>78472866

>>78474991
I know I would.
>>78467663
What the? I am convinced that every single person hired to write or draw Velma these days are those who had a serious crush on Velma when they were 9.
During the interview, they take you to a room with a huge Velma pinup on the wall and they fire you if you don't get a boner.
>>78475046
I'm sure you would anon!
>>78467494
Where is this pic from?
>>78475046
Of course not, it's designed for women. No guy would look good in that outfit!
>>78476034
Rio. She's the bird's caretaker.
>>78475842
No I wouldn't.
>>78476107
You solved the case, detective. Nice work.
>>78467716
>exposed feet
That's just too lewd
>>78472686
She'll definitely get boned.
>>78468343
>a one-horse "town" built around a gas station and general store
>better than a functioning town with enough people to support a healthy gene pool
Stay jelly Midwest pleb. I'm a townie too, and I still think most of the Midwest is simple rubes with no culture aside from corn farming, riding the south's coattails, and hiding from tornadoes.
>west and east coast finally have something we can agree on.
>>78469609
>being this /r9k/
>being sociable and enjoying youth is amoral. Squandering it alone in a corn farm doing nothing but supporting corn syrup and ethanol addiction is the true way to live
You're literally pathetic. I pity you and your lone-maddened mind.
>>78467494
When the idea of fucking virgins stops being something people like.
>>78474932
Explain
>>78474991
As an aspiring writer, that would make for some good practice.
>>78467798
Is it hard being so objectively wrong? You really think this trope that's been around for hundreds of years was invented and propagated by women?
>>78481584
You sound like a fedora yourself to be honest.
>>78481705
Because women haven't been around for hundreds of years?
>>78482724
Only about a hundred. Everyone had dicks before, even the men with tits. Only around the early 1900s did some men with tits start getting vaginas, which surprised a lot of people. The phrase, "whoa, man!" came into popularity at around the same time, if I recall.
>>78481688
>>78475217
Cool, I may try it next time I have a slow night
>>78481649
Something like this movie but less retarded.
A guy normally out of your league, a "Chad" if you will, takes a liking to you for whatever reason(you make him laugh, you help him out at a class, you share one weird hobby, you give great head) and he makes you his bootycall/fuckbuddy.
Other than banging you when he's got nothing else going on he also dolls you up on the side for his own amusement.
Id post that "reverse bimbofication" page from that hentai, but Id get banned for ludes.
>>78475800
It makes sense in context, I swear. Also it's not like Velma was portrayed as ugly, just a bit frumpy. As long as one stays in relatively decent shape it's hard to be lower than a 6.
>>78482888
Its sad that new shows don't get get enough transformations like in the 90´s
>>78485020
Why would you want to see cartoons insert more fetish fuel
>>78481509
>>78468398
You think 'culture' is a yeast infection you get just by being near it? I've lived in both large cities and small towns and the only place I've been hassled in for my race is in cities.
The only thing of note for me is the HEMA schools and even those are kind of McDojo. Drinking with friends in a overpriced bar and seeing some mediocre theater doesn't do it for me but might for you. If you don't like small town life, great. I'm happy for you but don't pretend as if living somewhere quiet is somehow inferior.
Living in San Diego right now is awful, nothing but bad smells, small spaces, overpriced everything and hypocrites, the minute I save up enough I'm going back to Ohio to get a lower paying but much more pleasant job. Hell, would probably end up ahead in the long run becasue the rent and food prices don't rape me every month.
>>78485020
m8, I don't wish this fetish on anyone else.
I was expecting more girls to come out of the woodwork to talk about this
>>78470668
that looks like a pretty rad party
Post more velmas

Her pimples were removed. She really needs them to pull off the awkward homeliness look.
>>78467716
I wish they had actual Brazilians voice the Brazilian animals. The annoying ghetto voices of the birds and the bulldog pissed me off.

More shows need this cliche.
>>78493048
It's a stupid and terrible one though.
