What do you mean? They work. Sure a few people here will call it douchy but girls do the same thing. Next time you're oogling a hot girl you can bet your ass that there is a fat girl in sweatpants nearby thinking 'wow what a showboat.' I haven't owned a $200 pair of jeans. In australia, $100 gets you what $40 will in the states so I try to buy a lot of my clothes there. Basics should be quality, and even if your body type is prone to changing, belts, shoes, etc don't apply (in fact, NY's mayor has bought his first pair of shoes in 15 years recently if I'm not mistaken). Fashion (i.e. dressing as an art) is irrelevant to me, and I'm not going to believe you if you tell me that 5 years from now I won't be wearing jeans anymore. I mean dressing to attract attention from girls is one thing; dressing well is another. Your analogy isn't appropriate: you're comparing yourself to a hot girl (let's say typical club outfit: makeup, hairdo, LBD, heels) and making people who buy quality clothing a fat girl in sweatpants. Should be more like a girl on The Sartorialist, perhaps in a simplified way. And in that case, I would be very right in saying the way you dress is tacky (it has nothing to do with showing off; see my post about things girls wear that make me cringe). And, well, you haven't owned 200$ jeans. I think if you were to put a shell cordovan Alden brogue boot next to its Aldo knockoff, you would immediately find the latter looks like [cabbage]. Quality always looks better. [Edit] Jesus stop posting so fast Alright, you're taking it a bit far. .. No, that is exactly what you do with them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship We're not talking about mathematics, database design, or media, and you'll find relationships involve people. So unless you're this type of guy... ...you're not building a relationship with your jeans in my opinion. I got raw denim because it lasts and looks better, and I can't take any romanticizing seriously.

I think those accessories are some of the tackiest things a guy can wear, much the equivalent of chipped nail polish for chicks... and almost as bad as nail polish on guys. Bracelets, not necessarily, but 9/10 times. Getting laid doesn't imply dressing well, though it entails dressing a certain way. Have you ever owned 200$ jeans? If so, which brand? Alright, you're taking it a bit far.

How to come up with a signature?
When I first designed mine, it was a slanted A (http://rnd2pics.com/view2.php?q=Avant%20Garde%20Gothic%20Alternates&url=http://blog.petitboys.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/avantgarde.gif), the vertical bar of which was also the vertical bar of a normal capital B. All rounded off with a circle around. OBA are my initials, so that was the idea. ut now it looks more like an O with scribbles inside and a long diagonal line across it.

I'd be more interested in the New Standards. Generally I'd avoid Nudies, from what I've seen first hand they're not so great and very overpriced. N&F is good but their collection for women sucks ass. APCs are unisex. They run 175$, but you should expect them to last a long time. Loosh, if you're in SoCal can't you find a store that sells them and try them on?

Jean-Marie Arouet used an anagram, and he got Voltaire (Arouet Junior = Arouet le Jeune = Arovet L. I.). Lucky letters. My mom's last name rearranges to Anal Mess, actually.

AA = American Apparel Levis 510 Twill, looshbob? http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=13380779&itemdescription=true&navAction=jump&color=16 Check Brooks Brothers, they always make really good fits.

not much some of their things are really low quality but others are pretty good. This, but you never know which is [cabbage] and which isn't until it rips. Do you want skinny or tapered chinos (since that could be anything from skinny to carrot fit)? What's your budget?

It's AA, I wouldn't trust it either. My mom has a Herschel backpack (I was going to buy it but she said it was too small), and it's looking pretty good, but you're looking at hefty shipping costs IIRC. I have an Undefeated black nylon bag, it's doing pretty well but I'm not sure it was worth 110$.

Reveal Confessions, Secrets & Regrets...
I searched for "east" in the topic, too, nothing to warrant that post. :mellow: I'm lazy. My mom conducted an experiment: she bought a pack of yogurts and left it in its packaging in the fridge for a week. I didn't eat any of it. She removed the packaging, and the yogurt was gone within three days. And I'm typing this instead of studying political science.

That is not even close I don't even know what Confirmed for Amish, unless you're talking about girls who don't have nice legs.

I cringe every time I hear or read "epic" or "fail" used inadequately. That's right, I'm criticizing an admin. Fight the power.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Yeah she really does sound like your backup plan... Well, you know better than I do. But one thing we can all agree on is that the first step to solving this problem is to use some [bleep]ing line breaks.

Slim cut are trendy. Wait, slim or skinny? Because slim/skinny jeans will (very likely) virtually disappear before too long. Disappear is a bit of a strong term, as they're still very present especially in higher fashion. Not to mention they're probably here to stay for women; that's bound to have an impact on menswear.

Are you sure you're going to be able to be as loving for #2 as you would be for #3? It sounds like none of the three are viable options.

At first I was like :rolleyes: Then I realized that's actually a very good point. The strumming starts before the singing btw, because the singing starts one beat later.

Power Tab is a good free alternative. Crashes a lot though.
