      He's what I would play pupils as listening comprehensions in English class (learners, not native speakers). It would widen their vocabulary, be hilariously entertaining and if people cannot understand him, they need to practice their English.

    In highschool we had an exceptional science teacher who wore the same combination of red shirt black tie and grey trousers every day. When some smart mouth​ asked him if he wore the same clothes every day, he happily explained he had a dozen sets of identical​ clothes that he wore in rotation. He was living the dream few dare to attempt. Damn I envy that magnificent bastard.

    This is terrific. I wish I could explain this exact thing to other people. Perhaps I'll show them this video. I'm a girl, and I feel like I run into this x1000000. I don't wear makeup or jewelry, mostly because 1.) it's cheaper and 2.) I don't care. But that's morphed into this feeling that I CAN'T do those things just because I don't want people to THINK that I might care. While at the same time I think people judge me for not doing such, because it's SUCH a convention for women especially.

    Why is it men.s clothes are more or less the same shape and size from place to place when women's are not? medium is generally medium wherever you go but not for women, oh no, we can buy the same size in three shops and it could fit anything from an anorexic dwarf to an obese giraffe and all the variations in between. I think this is the reason women's dressing rooms are usually claustrophobic and overpopulated, whereas the men's dressing rooms..? hang on , do they even exist?

    • @kimaboe
      @kimaboe 10 років тому +9

      The answer is "tits", they come in all shapes and sizes and are not necessarily directly related to the overall size of the person. The variety of tits available on people who otherwise would wear the same size means that there is an equal variety of sizes so that both the small-titted person and the giant-titted person can find clothing that fits their height and arm-length.

    • @CyrusTheFrog

      Part of the reason is that the majority of men's clothes are sold by their actual proper measurement, rather than by the various arcane methods women's clothing makers choose to use. A 17 inch neck and a 35 inch sleeve are going to turn out pretty similar no matter where you go.

Dressing up when plain is not only considered vain, but also delusional. (Disclaimer: referring to my own plainness, not DM obviously)

    My clothes are all black. This saves me the embarrassment of having it pointed out that something doesn't match (or it would, if I cared). A friend of mine said he thought that was 'stifling' and that I was basically imprisoning myself within my monochromatic wardrobe choice. I laughed and replied "Not at all! I'm free to do as I please, and I'm wearing what I like!". I find it liberating to not have to labor over the choices of this color or that one every day. I can instead choose my daily wear based on practicality. Warm out? T-shirt.Cold out? Long sleeves it is. Simplified. While others fritter away their limited time in this world, languishing in indecision, I'm out saving lives and/or seducing super-models (you can't prove otherwise!)... :)

    I stumbled across a T-shirt I thought I looked pretty good in. I now own six of them in grey and six in black and the only things I have to decide any given day are, "Can I get away with a T-shirt today?" and, "Do I feel like wearing black or grey?".
    I do kind of feel like a cartoon character when I look at my closet though.

    I've been wearing the same outfit for so long (blue jeans, tan vest, red shirt) that sometimes I realize, "Other people have to _choose_ what to wear in the morning. It must be awful."
