Not saying you necessarily, but I've often found through life that people who make so much effort on their externalities are usually compensating for being quite dull internally.
Conversely, the most interesting minds I've met in life generally couldn't really two shits about how they look, or how people perceive them outwardly.

- walk around in cheesecloth detrituspinkfloyd
- my point was in favor of dressing to please yourself, not dressing to please others. i think there's a difference. pleasing yourself doesn't have to take effortscarabin
- i think adhering to an "safe, acceptable" template instead of just doing you is putting on a silly costume, not the other way aroundscarabin
- if i put on khakis it would be a total costume because it's not who i am. nahmeen? that doesn't mean that i'm going out of my way to be different, either.scarabin
- it's just what i enjoyscarabin
- Aye man, sure - I really wasn't framing you as for you it's a whole lifestyle anyway, so good on ya'.
I'm just saying that i've met a lot of
...detritus - ...
compensatory twats who replace character with pink fucking hair.detritus - Me, I've had my own uniform for about 6 years now. Plain, not too descript, but not generic either and.. mine.
GF hates it.detritus - right on, i feel yascarabin
- Thanks Detritus - you have summed it up v.succintly... saved me getting involved. As for Scarabincomparing to graphic design, meh - totally different matters.fadein11
- Shut up detrituspinkfloyd
- YOU SUCKpinkfloyd
- Haha. Khakis aren't 'you' lol********
- but is khakis anybody?pango
- Ditridus. But there's no certainty in what you said. it's just those people you met who's interesting happened to be the ones who couldn't be troubled withpango
- external appearance. Or maybe they tried and gave up. it's like somebody just can't draw. doesn't mean they are unintelligent.pango
- I find it odd few of you who said appearance doesn't define one's character yet they are the ones who insist on defining other's character based on appearance.pango
- Khakis exist in the fashion world and have for many many years for a reason. They can be done right. Lolmonospaced
- Yea but some of this and a bit of that and all the rest and that********
- All I'm saying is that I've noted a correlation between dull people and extravagant aesthetics. I've met lots in life and yes, there are exceptions. Not many.detritus
- When I was younger, I naturally assumed extravagant aesthetics meant interesting personalities. Now that I'm old, I try and see the character before the effort.detritus
- so i guess your observation experience falls under "cool story bro"?pango
- If you want to respond with an internet meme, saying fuck all and prove how witless you are under your bleached hair.. yes?detritus
- I dunno, I'm not the one getting touchy here.detritus
- Oh no touchy at at all. don't worry about it one bit. Just want to confirm that you agree what you said has no certainty.pango
- I'm struggling to see where I have said anything here in absolute binary terms, but then I'm not on The Spectrum, so I'm quite comfortable with that.detritus
- Although the I find my bleach blond hair is only as relevant as if you wearing a pink t shirt. It's just a colour.pango
- "Most people wearing thick frame glasses are smart. But of course with few exceptions" you see where I'm going at?pango
- No, I'm talking about my experience.
In my experience, most people who wear thick-rimmed glasses are using them as a conceit, but what the hey.detritus - I wear them because my eyes are really bad and I can't see without them. Thin frames reveal the thick lenses.monospaced
- Generalisations... Woo********
- The brain is a pattern-recognition engine, so everything in your head is 'a generalisation'. The only problem is when generalisations aren't questioned. Woodetritus
