    Big picture: the world took a turn for the worse when men decided they too want attention for their looks. Now you all make mistakes about as stupid as women make.

    How can you be proud of yourself wearing a bun on your head as a man? Little girls wear them in gradeschool.

    Not the same thing, Abs. Men have always wanted attention. The line is drawn where men want the same attention as girls. I didn't seek attention but sure as Hell didn't turn it away. It was about the competition to me and I'd rather you NOT see me coming. How I looked only mattered in uniform because it matters in uniform.

    These guys are saying "look at me". Sure. Won't be hard to watch your ass either what with that neon billboard on top of your grape.

    Yes, that is why I specified they now want attention for their looks. Men always liked attention for other things- money, sports prowess, their car, toughness, etc. Used to make more sense that way, lol.

    I played sports. And I played to win. I actually started shaving my head when I got tired of paying out ever week for a haircut. And it was a few years BEFORE Jordan made it popular. I just figured I could make me look as bald as the barber. When I finally divorced I was shocked at women paying attention to me. I never paid attention to them when I was married.

    They say men go through that mid-life crisis crap. Get a sports car and grow a comb over. I was accused of spending mine in the weight room. dojo and basketball court competing with people half my age. Probably an accurate assessment.

    But I never considered being flashy or anything else. I always wore long sleeve, oversized dress shirts so no one could tell how big I was. I wanted to win. I was never in it for the looks so I don't get the mentality.
