Men's 'fashions' I hate

After putting up my last entry, I wonder how some guys would feel if I posted a collection of men's or boy's fashions that I couldn't stand.  Here are some examples:

1. Thumb rings - what's with those????  Guys, they make you look like you are wearing a *penis* ring.
2. Anklets (I don't even like them on girls but it makes boys look like drunk, stoner, euro-trash backpackers, or that they're gay when they're not);
3. Eyebrow piercings - they look like they hurt;
4. Any facial piercings other than side nose piercings;
5. Shiny shoes with long square toes that look like school shoes but are worn with 'smart casual' clothes;
6. Crewcuts - unless you are a sharpie, a skin or a rude boy, you look like a dweeb or a thug (unless you are in the army, and you don't have a choice);
7. Fauxhawks - a bad imitation of the mohawk;
8. 'Old man' (i.e. Coke bottle) glasses - they went out of vogue in the 50's and early 60's and they can stay there too;
9. Baseball caps with a flat peak (especially when they are turned up, it makes you look like you are turning up your nose at me);
10. Baseball caps with an exceptionally curved peak (like what a chav wears) - they look totally goofy;
11. Exceptionally baggy jeans with the crutch hanging down and that aren't pulled up properly;
12. Exceptionally tight jeans with the crutch hanging down and not pulled up properly;
13. Any pants or shorts not pulled up properly (guys, we don't want to see your cracks or dick necks, in fact we don't even want to see your undies);
14. The last three even more so seen on a fat guy who is wearing a top not long enough to cover his tummy/bum/dick neck;
15. Beanies;
16. Anything worn by 'gangstas', guidos, whiggers or chavs (including the baggy pants and caps, and the chunky jewellery);
17. 'Gangsta' tatts (in fact, I don't even see gangsters wearing them, well, the old school types that wear 'zoot suits'): seriously, unless you're a 'Bra Boy' (or you are intent on joining such a gang), don't get them done;
18. In fact, anything that makes guys look like thugs, I don't want to know :P

So yes, if you do happen to spot me in my tie-dyed harem pants, please spare a thought for me and refrain from making fun: not only might I hate your own tastes in fashion, but it makes you look even more juvenile than what I would have originally thought (if you weren't making fun).

Oh, and another tip, if you think you're gonna get a girl, just remember that I'm not always impressed with you trying to make yourself look like you have 'attitude' - or if you have, make sure you actually *have* an attitude about something, or I will mistakenly believe you are a horrid thug when you're not.

And, if anyone is dressed like a gangsta and is of a particular ethnic persuasion, or they belong to a paricular social class, then please don't give me an excuse to hate you when you make belittling or snide remarks about them women.  Don't give me an excuse to be racist (or a snob) and judge you to be something you're not.

If you are a nice person, be a nice person and earn my trust, respect and friendship - because if your behaviour as a friend is unacceptable, then your behaviour as a potential boyfriend, husband or lover will be worse.

And, no, I am not just picking on guys from different races or social backgrounds either - even if you are a metalhead, goth or punk (like me) and you might like the same bands as me, it doesn't mean I am automatically going to like and respect you either.   Please don't be a drunken bum, yobbo or sleaze, and (better still) like and respect me first (because I usually respect everyone who respects me), or I will be the 'ice queen' from Hell, even before the word 'frigid' enters your mind.  

cheers,
