Slob appeal

It's time for another one of my patented rants. This was actually inspired by something Orbax wrote in another thread about people who don't know how to dress themselves and wear baggy clothes and sideways hats and so on... I want an honest answer here, preferably from females but anyone who knows is welcome to respond:

Why is it that every time I see a drop-dead gorgeous girl who happens to be with a guy, the guy is wearing a FUCKING BASEBALL CAP? Seriously, EVERY guy I see with a beautiful woman in this city has a goddamn HAT on. Do I have to wear one of those pieces of crap to get attention?

And on top of that, the angle of the hat seems to be directly proportional to just how far above average the girl is (i.e. the more sideways the hat, the more beautiful the girl). WHY? At what point in the history of this proud nation did it become respectable or even tolerable to dress like a slob? To me, a hat would seem to indicate that the person wearing it either cannot or is simply not willing to do a half-decent job washing/combing his hair in the morning, and just throws that thing on so people can't see the mop on his head. Yes, that MAY not be the reason they wear it, but it's like the girls who look like they showered in make-up, you just have to wonder what's hiding under it.

I realize this probably sounds ridiculous but it's honestly true. I just picked up on it a few weeks ago and have been paying attention since then, and it's seriously unreal how many jaw-dropping hotties hang around with guys with HATS on and just generally look like absolute slobs. I'm not basing this on 3 or 4 couples as some of you are probably thinking, I have seen this phenomenon AT LEAST 50 times in the past few weeks and almost never seen the opposite (i.e. the same thing with a well-dressed, well-off guy). This is not the same as the "bad boy" appeal either which I used to see when I was younger - these people do not look dangerous, they just look like idiots. I only weigh 140 but I know I could kick their asses in a heartbeat.

So let's hear it, is "slob" the "in"-fashion now? It makes me want to retch thinking about wearing ripped baggy jeans down to my ass along with a losing team's sport jersey and a sideways cap, but the statistical evidence is piling up fast - apparently that's what I have to do around here to be "cool".

Thoughts anyone?

I usually wear a hat out, but generally because it always so damn cold. Much of your body's heat escapes through your head, so it makes sense.

I don't think it's the hats that piss me off.. it is the baggy oversized clothing that are 5 sizes too large that piss me off

Why? That's one of the best inventions ever. Handy, with loads of pockets and so comfy it feels like you're naked.

ahhh but does the sideways hat bother you more or does the du rag/bandana under the hat bother you more?

It's not that the hats or baggy clothes bother me, per se, I just think that they look like slobs and cannot figure out what the girls here seem to find so damn attractive about it. Mind you, it's not like this in Toronto, just Kingston (much smaller city, kind of the boonies except for the universities).

My first question to you is, how old are you?

And, what about "baggy clothes and hats" is it that eats you up inside? Also, what is your "fashion type"?

I'm 20, and see post above for the answer to the 2nd question.

My fashion type depends on where I'm going obviously. If I'm going to the office I have to dress at least business-casual. If I'm at school then I guess I'll tend to wear DECENT jeans (i.e. slim and my own size, which fit on my waist and don't hang off my ass) or even better, normal pants. And no friggin' hats . I have the 'fro sometimes to give people a laugh but when I'm going out someplace I'll style it properly.

Is it so much to ask for people to put at least a modicum of effort into the way they look? I have just as much of a problem with the women who always go out in baggy shirts and track pants (yeah that's fine if they're RUNNING, but it's not something I'd wear to a fancy restaurant if I were in their shoes, which by the way, are often dirty running shoes). But I think the women often do that because, truthfully, they just don't have to try a lot of the time.

Ah, the mystery of the rugged slob player..I wouldnt know, im not a girl but if I had to take a best guess...the girl likes him for his personality, not his clothes.

What I wanna know is this, why is it every guy named Julian scores a hot chick!!!

Your theory might be true....



Example: Britney Spears + guy who dresses like a slob

I am the anti-slob. I'm a metrosexual, European-style type.

I'm also single.

I think the theory has some merit.

But she's a slob too, so it works.
