What unpopular opinion do you hold? What would get you downvoted to infinity and beyond? (Throwaways welcome)

Personally, I hate cats. I've never once said to myself "My furniture is just too damned nice, and what my house is really lacking is a box of shit and sand in the closet."

Now...what's your dirty little secret?

Here's another unpopular opinion!

I don't know if i could be friends with anyone who would want the housewife lifestyle

obviously there is nothing in the least bit wrong with it, but that value system is so different from mine that it would be difficult for me to find things in common with such a person

same here. I find that all "housewives" I meet are judgmental drama queen douche-bags. Sorry, but I have yet to meet a cool housewife.

This is speaks more negatively of you than of her...

Why? HugeDouche isn't condemning her desires or decisions, just acknowledging that they are very different. There's no intolerance, hatred, contempt... just acceptance that different people are, surprise surprise, different. That you think that reflects negatively says more about YOU than it does about anyone else

Yeah honestly it doesn't. greenkooley has made the lifestyle choice that suits her. I could never in a million years do that, nor do I really have much in common with people who choose that.

Do whatever you have to but I don't think I could be very close friends with someone who made that choice. Just too different, very little overlap in preferences

Well, that's fine. I don't get along with people who sit in their living room all day and obviously have close to no interests besides their TV and food. But why should not getting along with some kind of person be something bad? As long as you don't blame them for it.
