Outside my town where their are a lot of ethnic people, rap and bling is really cool.... But in my town, chains, dark leather, lots of surf type jewellery, dark jeans, studded belts, tightish black shirts...
Anyway I forgot my point now....
Ummm, f'ck... I think what I was saying is I think that wearing that type of stuff is more to show that you are part of the "in" crowd... Like, you wouldn't dress like that unless you had FRIENDS who dress like that... It shows you are a part of a crew, and perhaps partly a leader of it... If you dress real plain, then your a part of the plain crowd..... If you go to the effort of putting cool shit on, then girls automatically asumed you are regularly hanging out with cool people....

I guess it all says the same thing, that you have value.... More value than the guy next to you who isn't wearing anything cool... And if you think about younger people, or rock bands or anything, the people who most exhagurate tend to be the leaders or the people with most value...
Yep I agree, I think fooling girls into thinking I belong to a cool tribe is definitely preferable to the reality of me spending most of my waking hours in solitary confinement, wanking myself to death in a basement.
Yep so pick the coolest tribe around and copy the shit out of it..... Something about that seems slightly fake, but f'ck it... If it gets you laid...

After that encounter at my work the other day, i've been really thinking about making myself look better at work... It's shirt, slacks and tie there, so there isn't a HUGE amount of room for creativity... But then again, there is.. Currently i'm wearing $10 shirts from Target and $30 slacks.. My shoes were almost falling apart..

In the last 2 weeks i've gone and got new shoes, one ne pair of slacks which are slightly better than my previous, threw out 2 shirts which were to big for me and made me look like a clown (they'd been a staple for years)... It's also really cold at the moment so instead of wearing a ratty jacket, I bought a cool V neck sweater to go over my shirt and tie, and put a vest on layby which looks a bit like the burberry pattern....

The customers service down stairs is about 88% chicks who are seriously hot, 8% doable, 4% f'n ugly.... I've given up on outside of work... But I want to be the coolest dressed person at my entire work.. Which really, is f'n impossible to do.. I'm probably the most alternative lifestyle person out of everyone, but I dress the cheapest and crappest and most cookie cutter lame..... I can do MUCHHHHHH better with a bit of thought and can actually end up being the best dressed pretty easy...

Only just started working on it though, but now i'm focusing on it...
