I'm not displaying myself as an object. I just happen to take care of my looks... is there a problem with that? There is just so much more to me then just looks.

It is less about being in GOOD HEALTH than it is about looking good. Why do you make yourself look good?

Well my health is quite fine.. nothing wrong with it.

Why I make myself look good? Well to be attractive to the love in my life. But for him, it is just one element in our relationship. So much more to me then looks, but I don't see why I shouldn't look good. Why should I look bad?

Suburbanite · Apr 8, 2004, 06:12 am

You’re polarizing the issue. I don’t see there being a problem with attractiveness, not am I saying people should look bad, all I am saying is that it is a subordinate practice that inhibits self-control. And you can’t try and justify it as if it we a conscious decision, because it never is. You’re choices to look good were because of… what do you think?

Well I like looking good. It is just a personal feeling I have. A bit difficult to explain, I guess... I'm in control of my life though. But it is fair to say I'm metrosexual. (I even posted my photo in the general forum)

Suburbanite · Apr 8, 2004, 06:21 am

I'll have to take a look. I think you're probably very in control of other avenues of your life, but not this particular one. I think other forces got the hold of you. It makes a crack head feel good when he is high on crack, I am sure it is the same for someone looking good. In fact, I can't say metrosexuality doesn't have an appeal to me, if my sexual life manages this course I might just have to convert, hehe.

Apr 8, 2004, 06:29 am

How dare you compare me to a crack addict? That's an ad hominem and from what I was reading on the etiquette that's is not allowed. I'm very much in control of this part of my life.

Suburbanite · Apr 8, 2004, 06:35 am

I saw this coming. I am not saying they are the same thing. I am just saying someone subjected to a mental system is always going to enjoy when (s)he is at the top of it. An addiction works the same way.

I'm not addict to it. I just do what I feel is right for myself. Ugh, comparing me to a drug addict.. just beautiful.

Suburbanite · Apr 8, 2004, 06:39 am

oh man, I'm not saying you're addicted! Oi vay.

Apr 8, 2004, 06:49 pm

Sorry I may have over-reacted. Well I think people should just live the way that is most comfortable to them. I like the way I am.

The Black Flag · Apr 8, 2004, 06:51 pm

Alright, castille, I don't agree with you on much: and I'm just as much for complete freedom as any other anarchist, but you're right...These guys are some fucking dumbasses, no joke, fucking pussies.

Nice ad hominem. I also reported you, I am sorry but you have no right to call me a name and tell me the way I live is stupid.

The Black Flag · Apr 8, 2004, 07:03 pm

What? I called you something? I'm completely lost.

What was this about:

"These guys are some fucking dumbasses, no joke, fucking pussies."

If I misinterpreted what that was for, please clarify. That was generalizing a group of people, I happen to be part of.

The Black Flag · Apr 8, 2004, 07:14 pm

I was talking about that stupid ass show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"...I hate tv, and that show just particularly pissed me off for being super "fad" like and just naturally sucking ass. Same goes for "Straight Plan for the Gay Man" on comedy central, same goes for that dumbass show I saw on tv the uhhh...I Want a Celebrity Face or something like that. That's all because of my general disdain for this trendy crap I see....What are you talking about? :confused:

The Black Flag · Apr 8, 2004, 07:25 pm

Oh, I just noticed in my post that i didn't really tell you what i was talking about. I'm sorry. But, yeah, i was referring to those stupid "lets completely change who the fuck i am for the sake of a stupidified, dumbass audience, who have ocmpletely let go of reality in order to fully submerge themself in the idiot box to view these stupid trendy shows!" stuff. haha.

Apr 8, 2004, 07:52 pm

I happen to like that show. But at any rate, I now understand what you are saying. Well that's your opinion.

**Sean** · Apr 8, 2004, 10:27 pm
