This is one of my favourite questions and I've asked it on the Chatline before but I'll ask it again and hope to get a better response.

What are your guilty pleasures? By guilty pleasures I mean things that are pretty uncool to like but you love them anyway. If you don't feel guilty about it just name things that would be guilty pleasures.  :oops:
Examples: Daytime soap operas, chick flicks (more for the guys), liking New Kids on the Block...

/P who isn't ashamed of her 'guilty pleasures'.

Just out of curiosity, does hanging around with someone nicknamed "Poo" count? :twisted:

I could try the line here about nothing I do is uncool - but I do Mud, so we know that isn't true!

I don't really feel guilty about these, but since you included them in your examples:
I am also, like so many have claimed before me, a hopeless romantic (as opposed to the hopeful kind) and therefore am rather fond of many of the so-called "chick-flicks."

I am also a sap for love songs regardless of Genre (Yes, even Barry Mannilow).

I actually enjoy theater, including musicals.

Jazz fanatic (does that count?)

Now my real "guilty pleasures," the ones I might actually get a pang or two of guild over, that will cost you to learn about!

Well, for starters, I like to MUD.

Second, I can't help but dance when I hear a Justin Timberlake song.

Lastly, I can't stop being punny.

I would have to say my number one guilty pleasure: Teasing Poogus!

/Snafu :D

Dark Chocolate and Red Wine (so naughty yet so richly satisfying)
Mens Body Wash (that is terribly embarassing) *blush*
singing out loud in the car alone (any where else and I tend to scare people)
Aspertame (im addicted)
cheesy 2nd rate romance novels
Country Music (especially the older stuff) Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, even a little Randy Travis woo woo
mudding :D
I still pretend Richard Marx was singing to me when I hear the song, Right here waiting for you.



oh hehe *blush* yea almost forgot one -
Spin The Bottle

I guess I have to say drinking beer and playing pool (combo)...
I also thing shoplifting is abit of a sport to me.. especially since I've never got caught ;)   Besides from that, smoking weed is a very good example :p

/Iznogoud

I like classical music, and I used to be a politics junkie when I lived in Scotland.

Fear me!

Hmmm... I don't really think I feel ashamed about those uncool pleasures I enjoy... With the exception of MUDing itself, I guess. I almost never talk about MUD with people that don't MUD themself or already KNOW I MUD...

OTOH, there are quite a few things that might be uncool that I like (but I don't miss a chance to tell people about them):
- 'High school movies' (think Courtney Thorne-Smith, think locker room sequences)
- Martial art action movies (Seagal, Van Damme, Lee...)
- Arnold movies (yes, pretty uncool if you are over 20... Over 25... Over 30, bah, you know what I mean)
- REALLY romantic music, like 'Unchained Melody' which I mentioned another day
- Computer games (Unreal Tournament, Doom][ (reinstalled it just days ago, actually)
- And some more...

Teen-series and the fact that I find myself grinning everytime the hapless guy tries to make a move on the gorgeous girl ... or whatever common teen problem arise ;)

I mean I somehow love to watch old Beverly Hills episodes as well as new series like The O.C.

And, for a finale ... I'm ashamed to admit that I like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel *snickers*.

I have no guilt about my geeky pastimes when I'm here, that's part of why I come here.

No guilty pleasures. Plenty of guilt (English heritage), but not pleasant.

I sing to much! I sing when I shop, I sing out loud when Im out walking or waiting for a bus at a busstop. There is no stopping me! I sing loudly when I shower and when I cook food, I simply sing whenever and wherever  8)

Another thing might be that I have my brain full of useless information, like when every member in Gn´R has birthday and how long each song on their albums are and stuff like that.

Yes, and Im also a sucker for the Eurovision Song Contest, which in turn gives me more useless knowledge - yes it´s true, I kind of know what song Israel had in 1990...and so the story goes on. :twisted:

1 Mudding
2 Mudding
3 Mudding ;)

*grin* seriously, apart from mudding i love gaming, from pc games to board games... and i can have fun in it even if opponents are my school kids :P

I take great pleasure in reading children books and very romantic teenager books :P

I love theatre and classical music. (is that so uncool? *boggle*)

But actually i dont have "guilty" pleasures since I've learned not to feel guilty about something that i enjoy :) And if ppl think what I'm doing is weird... well, who cares?

I never really feel guilty about the things I love that are rather odd but here are the ones I can remember:

Boy Bands- The Monkees, NKOTB, NSYNC, BSB, etc. *I LOVE THEM.*
Bring It On- That cheerleader movie with Kirsten Dunst. I'm not all that fond of her and I really hate cheerleaders but I love that movie.
Girls Just Want To Have Fun- A great cheesy movie from the 80s. It has Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex and the City) and Helen Hunt (Mad About You) and even Shannen Dougherty (Beverly Hills 90210 and Charmed).

Btw, any of you Charmed fans, that should be listed as a guilty pleasure along with Hercules and Xena. (Sorry Strife, don't kill me!)

Male movie stars/musicians in my age group and perhaps a wee bit younger- Orlando Bloom, Dom Monaghan, etc. I have on occasion even picked up a Teen Magazine or something equally bad to read an article about them or procure a photo.
I guess Mudding could be put on the list, it sure would be by my family and friends here in Colorado.
Occasionally chocolate but not too often. Food from Jason's Deli, especially their Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich, would probably count. That Bananas Foster pie from Dave and Busters surely would. OMG, my mouth is watering thinking of it.
Collecting hockey cards used to be one and before that it was collecting CDs. Nowadays it's getting movies, music and software....(I won't highlight that at all though.)

I know there has to be more. The thing is that I don't feel guilty about it either so it's hard to remember what things others might feel guilty about.
So there is probably more to come on this list.

/P  :D

I'm sick.  I admit it.  
I'm an ebay addict.

I am a shopping freak too.
It doesn't matter if I have 20 pairs of black heels, the ones at the store are so shiny and new!

Tiffanys.  
I obsess over Tiffanys.  
I browse their store, their catalog, and online.
And then I power-shop.

Shoe polish.
See shiny shoe syndrome.

I do not feel guilty of the pleasures I have. If I did, they would not pleasure me.. right? ;)

But there is one thing that most of us swedes really does not admit liking, but I shall admit it, and I do it here, for the first time ever.

The swedes knows who it is, the rest of the world I hightly doubt knows who it is, but here I go...

I do, infact, like Carola. Specially her song 'I believe in love'. It makes me feel happy and makes me dance and feel joyfull :)

So there, I said it. In risk for getting teased, but I can take it..

Ybbie..

Could be word Yberiel, could be Lena Ph.

*Hurting people I like
*Listening to synth and other 80´s music, especially madonna
*masturbating, does that count?

maximus, a sick bastard he is...

Guess that depends on what you look at/imagine at the time...

Hehe, good question.
Well I like:
Mudding
Computer games
Some teen movies, serials (but I shouldn't be ashamed of these, as I see I am not alone)
Romantic movies
Romantic music - well sometimes...
I'm smoking - dunno if I should feel ashamed about it, I do feel guilty and are trying to quit without much success. :)
There are more but I don't remember, or don't want to tell you. :)

Hmm, guilty pleasures..
Well, as for all of us I guess Mudding, then I love Discovery and it fill’s my head with totally useless and unstructured information, not useful at all.
Then I collect books, and read a lot. I have even made my own library room in the house, where I keep my books, my computer and other home office stuff… ah.. yes and there is my collection of stamps. (I never look at it any more, but useful to have..)
I also keep all my bills in strict order, sorted by date. I need full economic control. But that is all I really control. With anything else I am just as scatterbrained as always.
And then there is one more.. but some secrets are not for sharing ;-)

Hate to admit it, but I'm a sucker for various discohits of the 80's.
Ah, and I also enjoy watching B action movies. Stuff like Dirty Harry, and all those flicks with Arnold, etc.  :twisted:

As the saying goes: Ah'll be bock.

/Snafu :D

Watching _Dawson's Creek_ (well, since I've seen the last episode I guess I have to find a new  teen TV series to follow.)

Eating pasta with sugar *yum*.

I can vouch for Poogus' addiction to the cream pie thing from Dave and Busters - her and Az nearly both orgasmed when they ate it when the three of us had a bite there once.  :shock:

I'm rather shocked that he wrote that! What is this?! The new "Embarrass Poogus Section" of the forum? :p

And as for Allyene's comment. I totally love 80s hair bands and I guess they might be a guilty pleasure but I've never thought of them that way. ;)

I left this one a little while before i posted a reply. Been giving it some thought....

I wouldnt say i feel guilty for any of these, but they are a few pleasures i love....

Chocolate - post-break up chocolate always tastes better  :)
Shoes - i think my shoe collection will reach triple figures this year  :P
Cheesey Rock Music - if its from the 80s or 90s and had screaming guitar riffs, i'm hooked. Think Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, Eric Clapton etc...
Sex - i cant believe no-ones put this yet. And no, I dont feel guilty about that one.  :twisted:
Red Wine - especially girlie nights in with a bottle of red.

I guess thats it for now. Might come back with some more.  :)

Laysha. xx

:shock:  Oh man.... I didn't see this one til Laysha told me that she was posting it... so I am a lil late... sorry...

Singing songs anywhere and everywhere- this is a real bad one for me... um.. i listen to the radio every chance i get and well I start singing  :oops:
80's music-Gee, I am surprised that most of us don't have this one.. I mean aren't we all a lil part of the 80's?
Hercules and Xena (for that matter all shows and movies that deal with ancient times-I cannot and I repaeat CANNOT no watch a move or see at least one show of a series set in the ancient times.. it's just sooooo fasinating to me.. that is.
Love songsI always get into the love songs... doesn't matter what era.. the love songs....
MUDing-I love to mud and game.. it's an addiction... but I have been taken away before so..... *shrugs*

Wooo, Hercules and Xena rock.  :D

I never considered 80s music a guilty pleasure. I love that stuff but it was also the music of my childhood so it doesn't seem so bad to me. As for Hercules and Xena.....yeah, those are DEFINITELY two of them. :p Just don't tell Strife I said so. (I can't stand the horrific acting but Strife gets really mad at me if I say something about it.)

/P

Speaking of guilty pleasures TV series, I definitely have to add Charmed to them Most definitely post Shannen Daugherty episodes, When the girls powers got outrageous, Pregnant woman kicking ass, sweet girl becoming leader of the underworld, Woo Woo man some of those episodes rocks...
