So bored of it.

This is nearly every mum in my area, pilates & matcha, botox and handyman & cleaner recommendations. No depth, no real worries..basic.

Aibu to want to meet funny, down to earth mums with depth and interesting pasts and conversations?

I’m judging them based on what OP has said - that they’ve got no depth to them, aren’t down to earth, aren’t funny and can’t hold a decent conversation.

No, that’s not what she said. She said that’s what she wants to meet.

All she said is that they have no depth, and she seems to be assuming anyone who wears leggings, etc has no depth.

Again, this judging of other women you know nothing about because of their appearance really doesn’t make you cool or edgy. Quite the opposite actually.

CatamaranViper · 29/04/2026 21:10

How else are you supposed to wear socks with leggings? They look weird under the leggings...

How does the OP know? The matcha of course… so superficial! 😂 or may be the socks? Socks tell you loads about personality.

I’ll have to be more careful about what socks I choose, I don’t want to wear a pair that says I don’t have an interesting past or conversations lol

GardenCovent · 29/04/2026 21:13

Do you not have any other friends op, how about school/uni/work friends if these friends of yours are so basic?
Could it be that they don’t consider you to be a friend so wouldn’t confide their worries with you?

TY78910 · 29/04/2026 21:18

Why are you making the assumption that they’re incapable of interesting pasts and conversations? It’s just fashion. That’s what’s in right now. Look back through photos of your mum and her mates and see how they all wore the same stuff and shared the same interests that were popular at the time.

I really don’t understand this weird obsession on MN with painting all the legging with socks over mums with the same brush. Same as kids in tracksuits sold in bulk in JD sports must be wronguns. Yawn.

Jk987 · 29/04/2026 21:20

You really think they have no real worries or depth based on their appearance and small talk in the playground? You are narrow minded. Let people be.

TaraRhu · 29/04/2026 21:22

I'm down to earth, and I'd say with some depth.. but I love matcha, Pilates and if i could afford it I'd paralyse every face muscle I could... Don't be so judgy.

MrsLFii · 29/04/2026 21:22

Yes, yes, women are all the same, shallow as a puddle, boring and have nothing to offer the world. Good job there’s women like you around that are so wonderfully different.

Bikergran · 29/04/2026 21:24

Move.

mommatoone · 29/04/2026 21:25

@Wheredidallthegoodonesgo don't forget the Dry Robes thrown in for good measure as well 🤣

WhereHasMyPlanetGone · 29/04/2026 21:27

You sound like a pick me.

Malasana · 29/04/2026 21:27

We’re all bored of you too with your judgemental attitude and mean mind. And we don’t want to be friends either you either.

PenelopeAsks · 29/04/2026 21:27

It must be wonderful to be such a deep and interesting person op. 🙄

Oh and SUVs obviously on a lease.

Funny, down to earth people with depth are better off NOT being friends with bitter judgemental women like yourself.

You sound nasty and righteous. Horrible traits.

Noonenew · 29/04/2026 21:30

Lol, okay, but would all these fun down to earth mums with depth want to be friends with someone so judgy?

Mamaone11 · 29/04/2026 21:30

Agree with you. A lot of younger ladies seem to be carbon copies of each other. Leggings, sports socks, botox and lips, the same dull interests (at least on the surface of it)
Predictable Instagram crap, the same chavvy curled long hair.... Ugh

Blimms · 29/04/2026 21:30

Based on the OP’s posts and username I think this is a creep of a man.

Hallywally · 29/04/2026 21:31

So what are you into OP? You sound a bit sneery and judgemental. Labelling women as “basic” doesn’t make you down to earth- quite the opposite.

Wheredidallthegoodonesgo · 29/04/2026 21:31

wishingonastar101 · 29/04/2026 20:20

I love my botox and pilates! judge me all you will but my pelvic floor is steel and my forehead gives no fucks.

You’re winning in life then 😁

lulubalu · 29/04/2026 21:32

Judgy much....
I can't even be bothered to bite

TeenLifeMum · 29/04/2026 21:33

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t have something interesting in their life, past or present. Maybe they’re just not open with you because you come across as judgmental.

Ireolu · 29/04/2026 21:33

I don't wear leggings outside my house
Matcha is grim
I don't do pilates
No botox either.

I am still pretty damned boring though so not sure we would be friends? I definitely do not feel the need to conform. Trying to teach DC this.

TheBlueKoala · 29/04/2026 20:26

@Wheredidallthegoodonesgo I get what you mean. It's not the matcha, pilates or botox per se; it's what it says about them all "obeying" in a sectlike manner to what a woman should do/like. I find it incredibly tedious. Rather keep my RBF and stay expressive and have a personality of my own.

Yes this…

Sounds like you live in the wrong area.

The right area I think. Calm and drama free
