As a kid, I never got that concept because it seemed like being manipulated. "I dare you to do this dangerous thing for my amusement!" Uh. No? "Chicken!" Okay, whatever, dude.

Its mostly just an excuse to do stupid things for fun.
Rather, it's an excuse to get other people to do stupid things for your fun.
You were wise beyond your years.
Peer pressure is such a wierd thing. It works, but the second you see how cruel it is, it just disgusts you and loses all power.
This was also where "yo momma" insults were also invisible to me. Like, "You don't even know my mother, you're just saying that and it makes no sense." It wasn't a trigger for me like it was other kids. I saw it for what it was. I'd tell my friends, "they just say that to get you mad, don't listen," but they'd get mad anyway. It's like they couldn't help it. I think dares were in that headspace as well.
I wasn't popular growing up. I was really awkward and non-athletic, so I didn't bow to peer pressure as much as the other kids. I was going to be unpopular either way, so...
I cheated by having a horrible mother.
"Yo momma so stupid, she cheat on your dad with herself and cucked him for it!"
nods "true, true..."
A friend of mine was bet a dollar he couldn't climb aboard and to the top deck of a cruise ship moored in harbor. He made it, $5000 fine.
I ended up with a pink-and-purple triple mohawk, my clothes in shreds, and my skin splattered with four different colors of dye. There was exactly one Polaroid taken of the final result and I looked like a plus-sized goblin. Sadly, the photo is lost to time.
looks like you have to do it all over again, for that sweet sweet internet points
I'm not unwilling.
A friend dared me to swim in a pool but there were none around so I decided to look on Google maps for someone who had a pool then go to their house climb their fence and swim at 2am. I did and rhe home owner came out and boy was he pissed. I ran and he chased me even jumping over the fences and across a few blocks before I escaped. The whole time he was threatening to beat the shot out of me which really motivated me to run.

Yep, that would do it
1 hour in, no comments. I dare someone to answer.
If I confess to what I did on a dare is that a truth or dare?
A or (A or B) is still A. So its truth
Yes.
I think I licked a toilet bowl? I pretty much stopped playing truth or dare when I was like 12 though.

Kissed a dude. I'm a dude. He tried to use tongue, I'm a straight guy so that was a nope
You don't have to be gay to make out with your guy friends
You don't have to, but it sure helps
You just have to hold him tight and gently whisper βno homoβ in his ear after youβre done. Then pat him on the butt and give him a wink.
When I was a teenager I nearly got arrested for trespassing. There was a way to get on top of a building and I was dared to check it out.
I did it. We got beat by police, arrested, and given a trespassing ticket.
As a kid I once got on my knees and prayed, prayed for Princess Diana to die. About a week later, well...
dude what
ah I left you hanging, sorry - yeah she died
When we were young, my partner dared my friend to put peanut butter on bread and stick them under his underwear on his butt for the rest of the night.
He did and told me he wasn't able to eat peanut butter for almost a decade lmao. Absolute trooper for going through with it.
All the way
