bored at work.
i am going to take this time and space in order to express the fact that all of the boys i know who used to be relatively attractive now look relatively homeless.
beards
okay, i get it. you're manly, grizzly, dangerous. you have better things to do than shave. you are post-pubescent. congratulations. don't get me wrong, some of you can pull the beards off, lest they get out of hand. however, most of you look like you've crawled out from under a park bench.
this effect is worse combined with...
long, straggly hair
okay, so hardcore is done and in the post-post generation, men don't care about their coiffed haircuts. long, unwashed hair is far from attractive. you looked better three years ago.
the same goes for...
irony in dress
save it for your taste in music, your tattoos, and your literary theory.
lack/neglect of hygiene
i used to complain about the fact that boys were wearing the same jeans as me (and sometimes pulling them off better than i could, *sigh*) and spending a bit too much time on their hair...(okay, i not-so-secretly lusted after them as well, but i did complain)... it's nice to see some "real men" in our midsts but please, by all means shower. unless you really are homeless or a squatter this isn't okay. not using deodorant does not make you more european.
the list goes on, but well, i have more important things to do.
at least straight edge is over.
