Unsurprisingly, the more I thought about it. The more it drove me crazy. I don\’t know why I succumb to superficiality. But suddenly, the thought of a guy friend dressed…HORRIBLY is enough to push me away.
So just like 2 years ago, how do I tell someone that I don\’t like how they dress?
The guy I met Friday dressed like a nerd. I don\’t know how to describe it. I remember it really clearly. A generic green sweatshirt. The kind of jeans that were tight-fitting, not meant to style. I felt bad about saying it, but I had bluntly observed that the first time I saw him in my computer science class, I thought what a nerd!
How could I deny the truth? It was something about Yeh that drove me crazy. He was okay with running in his clothes. Exercising in the same clothes. He was okay with sleeping in those clothes. I couldn\’t stand it. It felt so unclean to not have some kind of sleep attire. And some kind of attire for working out.
But this is a different case and I see myself succumbing to superficiality. While MTV flashed thousands of music videos at me, I started thinking how I would make over someone. In my closet, half of my nerdy wardrobe has been sent to salvation army. The rest is still there, but properly matched with the pants that make it look non-nerdy.
I want a guy who would wear beefy t-shirts. With long shorts, past the knee. Or a dress shirt. Baggy pants. Not so loose that it looks gangsta. But baggy enough that it doesn\’t look like jeans made for girls. Or how about a t-shirt over a long-sleeve. Baggy pants. Hair gelled. Slightly spiked. No eighties style – of combing the hair over the forehead to hide balding. Something like that. Nothing nerdy. Please.
