I like my ink.
I got it for ME!It's not my fault your chick's digging on 'em.
I like to wear wife beaters to the gym,because it's comfortable.Not to show off.Or impress you foolish mortals.
I have a foo manchoo because it looks good.Not to intimatate people.
All I've gotta do is go BOO!Or just show/flex the posterior deltoid.
I joke.But this is no joke.If you dont like it dont look.I understand there are ALOT of dudes who are trying to hide behind all that.But not all of us who have any or all of what you've mentined.Are trying to prove or hide anything.
I've grown the f#%k up.Moved past all that tough guy crap.But I still have my ink,Foo man,harley,ect.
Howard.you seem to validate your self by the women you run with.You elevate yourself,While it may seem like a joke.At the expence of others.Put them down so you feel better.Ivy leauge educations,corvette's,bleach blondes with bolt on accesories may look classy.But it sure dosen't mean you are classy.
So you ask why....I ask you why
Or the guy who took it upon himself to as the women the club if the look works.
Your probably the "harmless guy friend" the girls hang out with.But dont drop any ass to.The guy they dress/undress in front of when they're getting ready to go out.Or they were the guys who took your money,Then stuck you in your looker.Either way.Why do you care?
It just kills me when people who have issues of they're own.Start banging on other people they have no clue about.Wether it be an armanie suit.Or a tapout tank.
Do they talk to you?
Do they threaten you?
Do they put they're hands on you?
Then who the hell are you,And what buisness is it of yours!?
If you did talk to them.you just might be surprised at what you discover.I was a drunk/drug addict,I've been to prison.I've hurt the people I love,and have done things I'm not proud of.But I'm also a loving father/husband/son.I quit drinking/drugs years ago.I'm a college student,who's working to be an R.N..
So despite the rough exterior.I'm a good person,with a good heart.
Stop,and think before you speak.
Obviously, we attract different woman in terms of what they like. This does not make me any better or worse than you or vice versa. To be honest I have been with three woman in the last 21 years and was married to the first two for 10 yrs each and am dating the 3rd now for the past 6mos.
I have no kids but enjoy my career and modest income as a science teacher.
I read and appreciate your well thought and sincere reply and question(s).
The reality in society is pretty simple in terms of our image and dress. Fair or not, unless someone knows who and what we are they have nothing else to go on but our dress, image and overall look and demeanor.
As I said in later posts in this thread, some of the finest human beings I ever meet have a lot of tatoos and look kinda "rough".
I am a humble high school physics teacher who bodybuilds as a hobby. My dress hardly makes a statement and overall I am a humble and modest man. I drive a clean , dependable KIA spectra and live in a modest 2 BR townhouse I was able to purchase on a VA loan. I never went to any Ivy league schools. nor dated big boob blondes and don't care for pompous folks.
Not that it matters, but I still don't fully understand the "why" or motivation for extensive tatoos or to cultivate a
"rough " image. That was my original question and maybe you could shed some light on it. I tend to make jokes and try to be a funny guy, etc. Like most people I am naturally curious about those that seem different than I.
Thanks again, Howard
