Best Posts in Thread: I'm sorry

I tease my daughter about going to the Goodwill to get her jeans with holes for a lot cheaper than the premium paid to pay someone to make them look like that. Doesn't really bother me and I find it being worn by younger woman in casual settings. It seems to me, in the big scheme of things this and brown hair color are not that big of a deal. Now blue or purple hair might be a different deal. We all have different tolerances for this type of stuff. Other examples, include tattoos and piercings. I've heard people say when I married you, you were skinny, now your fat. The question becomes should one partner live to satisfy the other or should one partner accept their other partners choices because a person is so much more than what you see.

 

I am fine with all kinds of jeans. That comes and goes.

But a Pinay should have black hair. Don't like if they are going to color it brown or even blond.

 

Yes, I noticed that too. seems to me that sometimes people take a reply as a personal attack where it's surely not ment to be. It's an open forum here with open debates, so keep cool, guys. As long as we are all adults, we should be able to respect different opinions without anger. Don't forget about some humour, it's better for the spirit of our forum.

 

Too much “friendly fire” on this post

 

Well, don't ask me. I like my women bald and naked. It's a fetish.

 

The right to be curmudgeonly and cantankerous advances with age, particularly when fashion is an issue. So Grandplank, I am with you entirely here. This seems a rather pointless and silly fashion - jeans with ready made holes in them or taking a pair of scissors to them - very silly indeed.

I dare say I looked a right twit when younger, but that’s the point, the young exist to look like twits so us curmudgeons can gripe about them over our brandy and cigars. The precise point at passing over from being a twit to curmudgeon has yet to be identified by scientists. The evidence tends to support the bigger the twit sartorially in youth, the later curmudgeondom will appear. There is, from my readings of the National Geographic no hibernation or chrysalis period where a twit emerges blinking in the sunlight into being a curmudgeon.

Anyway twits can be of both genders - the one that makes me snigger - are the ones that refuse to acknowledge the passing of age and time. Arrested curmudgeondom so to speak - cue aged men still wearing hair like Elvis, women with skirts like pelmets in their 60s, chaps walking about still believing they do adequate impersonations of Tom Sellick, Errol Flynn, or what not.

In the meantime, in the land of silly haircuts, silliness reigns supreme. Something to harrumph and guffaw about on the quarter deck after mess, cigar my friend?

 

I have always picked my fights....clothing choices are not permanent, and hair color is not permanent, so I just bit my tongue (still do) when my kids do weird things with these. But, tattoos and piercings I am much more vocal about since they are permanent (esp. tattoos). My kids are adults now and I know my opinions don't matter much anymore, but one can always hope they listen anyway.

 

Filipinas want to be fashionable too---lol

 

He had a point, there were words like "let her" used in this post.... which can be construed as a comment about his relationship... maybe "mistreat" was a bit too far but I took some offence as my wife has colored her hair and does wear jeans like those mentioned and I am proud to be with her...
