Shameful confession: I like that hairstyle. I swear I am otherwise I sane person. You forgot "How many, how many, how many?" *stab stab stab* May he rest in peace. Oh I see. But you do get money for this, right? Man bun is a weird thing. It looks good on some hippi hipster guys and it also looks hot as a costume design in fantasy/medieval series (again, on the right head) but it's also not something a sophisticated man would ever do to their hair. I knew someone who hand long hair for a good couple years and wore it in a pony tail *shudders* and then shaved it all off and went for skinhead. Best decision of his life, I hope he hasn't grown his hair back out since then. I'm hungry and this new yoga instructor wasn't great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I went shopping with a friend for the first time and naturally got Pokémon socks. I'm with Rhae on man buns. Also, spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can describe my work and all-the-other-projects situation in PM some time when I am not that tired. I do not like shaved heads, and I especially do not care for the half-shaved half-long style that I see people of both genders wear. I do not think it looks good on anybody. But I like long hair on guys (if it is cared for, obviously) maybe just because it is something different, most guys have short hair. What is a sophisticated man, anyway? And, yay, spring! Tomorrow is going to be good, I am looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I do... again, it requires the right bone structure, not every man looks good with a shaved head, but those who do... I like shaved heads. (Yes, I know that sounds dirty.) a sophisticated person is well groomed, well dressed, well read, interested in culture, can express themselves correctly and elegantly in speech and writing, has emotional intelligence and social sensitivity, doesn't use cuss words as modifiers, behaves appropriately and isn't a trend snob. Or at least that's my definition of sophisticated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wasn't trying to state something offensive like "you are all unsophisticated bastards". She asked something and I answered. I'm not sophisticated either and while that kinda hurts my ego sometimes, it's okay, because if we were all sophisticated being sophisticated wouldn't be something special.

ab aeterno Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Sophistication is a profoundly conservative social construction to reinforce societal prejudices. Nothing makes "sophisticated" things sophisticated except for preconceived notions that there is some truth in these subjective notions. Elegance, culture, expression, intelligence, social sensitivity, appropriateness - they're all just subjective ideas, meaningless outside of their original context.
