I like your style...or your complete lack thereof.

I am not what you would consider a "fashionista". I like to think I have my own unique style and a pretty good grasp on what I can pull off and what I can't. I appreciate fashion, don't get me wrong... When I see a cute little 20-something chickadee strutting down the street in 3-inch platform-heeled strappy sandals, I think "Good for you!", knowing full well I would fall flat on my face if I attempted such a look. When it comes to guys and their style, I am all over the place and so are my friends. Generally, I prefer a pretty simple "guy" look. I don't care for hipsters. If you are a dude and you are walking my way in skinny jeans, you should probably keep walking. Same goes for hippies... they are nice to look at because often they are tan and in good shape, but have you ever tried running your fingers through dreadlocks? Besides, the time it takes to wash the patchouli stink out of your sheets afterward just isn't worth it. Try telling that to a girlfriend of mine, though. For her, the dirtier, the better. She likes guys with messy hair, giant holes in their ears and clothes straight out of the $1 bin at Goodwill. Another friend recently admitted to me that she still has a soft spot for certain 80's styles. Specifically, she cited a crush she had a few years back, on someone who still feathered his hair and wore high-top sneakers. I didn't mention it at the time, but I wondered how she and my ex never got together, since he proudly wore skin-tight, white denim jeans and a 'Member's Only' jacket, well into the new millennium. But wait, there's more... he also had a fine collection of those black T-shirts with various animals/lightening bolts/woodland scenery on them, popular throughout trailer parks across the U.S. How did I end up with that dude? I like to blame youth and copious amounts of alcohol. When my friends and I were in our late teens/early 20's, we sat down one night and made lists of all the things we wanted in a guy. They were pretty superficial lists, because at the time, we were pretty superficial. However, the one thing all our lists had in common was "Must wear good shoes". We had a serious issue with guys wearing ugly or dorky shoes and although my priorities have changed quite a lot over the years, that is still one of the first things I notice! I think what it comes down to is that everyone has their own style. Some are weirder than others, but honestly, if I am attracted to you and you can make me laugh, I will probably disregard the fact that you're wearing a hockey jersey. Because let's face it... if we end up together, I'm going to take him shopping for new clothes anyway. That's what girls do, and guys allow it because they want to have sex and that's just not going to happen if they're wearing the same torn boxer shorts they've had since high school.
