I assume that you at least got tons of ass during this period, to make up for the crushing feeling of being a poser and all. After all, you did have the goatee, which is clearly a "Gagging for It!"™ brand aphrodisiac.
Actually I agree with a minor part of this; I just get sick and tired generally of everyone looking like a stereotypical clone. My personal peeve is the generic “frat boy” short and slightly spikey hair cut. At least the accompanying baseball cap appears to be slowly going out of style on all but the most hardcore. Of course at the same time, I also get sick of people who appear to need to look different from the norm just to look different from the norm. And then I (honestly) get sick of myself for: (i) giving a shit what anyone looks like; and (ii) feeling some need to judge people whatsoever on what their damn hair looks like.
However, when I am on my “frat boy” rant days, I just think those people are sheep. I don’t care so much about whether they are regularly getting nailed.
Every time I see a hot chick around here lately, they always seem to be dating a hobbit. What’s up with the attraction to hairy feet? Ladies, they’re just a prop!
In any case, unless I’m poaching among the undergrad population, the women I’m likely to be addressing know that we will be putting up a display for the purposes of creating good first impressions. It’s bloody expected of us, and I should hope they are up to evaluating if we are posing or not and make their own damn decision. Just like the sober American-cut charcoal-grey suit with shined wingtips and dimpled tie, plus the well-rehearsed answer about how we saved our last boss a million, is just a prop to get a prospective employer to believe we’re consummate professionals so they’ll hire us on the spot.
(*But still, damn you, goatee-guys, for harding all the HJC’s! )
Well, you’re a third of the way there. Just grow the goatee and get the bullethead and all of the women of the world shall be yours
MUHUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
aaaaaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAH
Ah, good times.
I should mention that for a while I had the shaved head and the goatee. Meshed pretty well with my bouncy personality. I was like a cheerful lil satan worshipper
Testify! Before I became a convert, I just dismissed anything other than a full beard or clean-shaven as pure vanity. Why would a guy spend so much time carefully shaving his face to look like an armpit except unless he thought it made him look mondo sexy?
Because it’s easiest, that’s why! The parts that make you look like a derelict, a child molester, an anime character, or Santa, you shave off, once every couple of days. The parts that are hardest to shave, you leave alone. Takes less than five minutes. I wish I’d clued into this sooner. (Which is becoming my mantra.)
