1. Breathe Underwater

So, of course, being a mermaid would grant you the power to breathe underwater. I don’t know about you, but that sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I’ve always wished I could flood the house and just swim through the halls and live in the water. Is that a weird dream…? Probably, but I’m actually serious. Living in the water would feel like you were always flying, which would be also be an awesome feeling.

***

Being able to breathe underwater as a mermaid would not only be a fun and unique experience, but it also has scientific benefits. Mermaids, or more accurately, marine mammals like dolphins and whales, have evolved to have a diving reflex that allows them to hold their breath for extended periods of time underwater. This is due to their lower heart rate and increased blood flow to vital organs, which helps them conserve oxygen. As a mermaid, you would have this same ability, making underwater exploration and swimming a breeze. Plus, you would never have to worry about holding your breath or coming up for air.

2. Go Anywhere You Wanted

Want to visit Australia or Fiji? Mermaids could just swim there! It doesn’t get much better than that. No more seasick boat rides or long and expensive flights – you’d get first class seating and a free pass to just about anywhere in the world. I would travel to Europe, Australia, the Caribbean, and Japan. Where would you travel?

3. Your Hair Would Always Look Good

Everyone knows that underwater hair is the best hair – imagine having an awesome hair day every day. It’s every girl's dream. You would never have to deal with humidity or rain or frizz ever again. And forget about all the expensive oils and hair products – the water would do the trick and your hair would always look luscious and flowy.

***

Mermaids are often portrayed as having beautiful, long, and shiny hair. This is because the saltwater they live in helps to naturally hydrate and nourish their hair, giving it a healthy and vibrant appearance. Additionally, the lack of exposure to harsh chemicals and styling tools also contributes to their flawless hair. As a mermaid, you would also have the added benefit of being able to easily brush and style your hair underwater, without the worry of it getting tangled or damaged. Say goodbye to bad hair days and hello to effortlessly stunning locks as a mermaid.

4. Sushi All Day Every Day

Who reading this is a seafood and/or sushi lover? If you’re a big fan like me, then being a mermaid would be even cooler because it’s like an all you can eat buffet all the time. It might be odd to talk to your food and hear it talk back to you before you eat it, but hey, free sushi is free sushi, right?!

***

Aside from being a sushi lover's dream, being a mermaid also means having the ability to swim effortlessly through the ocean and explore its depths. Not to mention, mermaids are known for their beautiful singing voices, which could come in handy for communicating with other sea creatures. Plus, with their long, flowing hair and shimmering tails, mermaids are the epitome of beauty and grace. And let's not forget the fact that they have the power to control the ocean's tides. So not only do they have an endless supply of sushi, but they also have an entire underwater kingdom at their disposal. Talk about living the dream!

5. Constant Attention from Boys

Mermaids are known for their gorgeous looks and seducing voices that attract and put men in a trance every time. Need I say more? All the boys would be after you ALL the time. Guys would practically be begging to hear you sing and do anything just to be in your presence.

***

Mermaids are often portrayed as irresistible and alluring creatures, making them highly desirable to men. In fact, in many cultures, mermaids are seen as symbols of love and romance. This constant attention from boys could be seen as a perk of being a mermaid, as they would be drawn to your beauty and captivating voice. Additionally, mermaids are often depicted as having supernatural powers, which could further add to their appeal and fascination for men. However, it's important to note that this attention may not always be positive, as it could also attract unwanted advances and objectification from men.

6. Wear a Seashell Bra

Move over, Victoria’s Secret – the “it” thing to wear is a seashell bra, duh! As a mermaid, you could search the 7 seas to find the prettiest and most perfectly shaped shells for your own DIY bra. Not to mention that you could add pearls or whatever else you can find on the ocean floor and customize your bra to suit you 100%.

7. You Would Be Rare

As a mermaid, you’d basically be the coolest thing since sliced bread – I mean, people would marvel at you and just be like, WOW, every time you’d be spotted. All women are already precious and rare gems but as a mermaid woman, you’d be double the rarity.

If I were a mermaid, I think my mermaid name would be Coral or something. Life would definitely be so much more awesome and I’d take full advantage of all mermaid perks and powers. Why would you love to be a mermaid? What would your mermaid name be?

    I can relate to this a lot. I've always desired to be a mermaid; I didn't realize so many people did, too! Another thing would be how fast you can swim, and jumping in and out of the water like a dolphin. And all the powers that come along with it: controlling water, having an intensely beautiful voice, etc..

    Cons about being a mermaid: 1) you will be hunted 2) once they catch you either you are experimented on in a government lab or your the one whose sushi :) lol

    Stop hating. It's cute and we are all entitled to our own dreams, no matter how big or small, or how realistic or fathomable. I'd love to be a fairy or a siren myself. Or a cat. :3 xD
