Is this too much stubble?


Why does it feel like you are violating some type of societal standard by wearing the same outfit you did two weeks ago? If you've maxed out your JCPenny credit card, there's just no hope for a new outfit anytime soon. Your best option is to jazz up the outfits you own with different jewelry pairings, shoes, and hair styles. That is, assuming you actually care what you look like.

From what has been gathered, impressions play a big role in being respected as a young adult. The sad reality is, people rely on first impressions, without judgement on your character, experience, or skills. How you dress and/or carry yourself is key when meeting someone for the first time.  

Everyone has a slightly skewed interpretation of first impressions. Two people can have completely different views of the same young woman. There is the society standard view and a view coming from truth. With the first view:

Wow she dresses nice! What a respectable young woman. If she can take care of her looks, she is definitely a responsible human being. I bet she's a great person and a hard worker.

The second view:

Wow she dresses nice! She definitely has a sugar daddy. If she did buy those clothes, she probably isn't spending any money on booze. I bet she's really lame.

It's two different perspectives. So when you are trying to impress, first know who your target audience is. Start by asking yourself, will my encounter be worth the stress, analyzing my outfit for 30 minutes before switching to a new one? Or can I throw on an outfit and get out of the door in 30 minutes? Time is precious, and at you only have so much time before that outfit becomes irrelevant due to old people appearances. You can take comfort in knowing that the people who master perfect outfits at the time of their prime beauty are probably egotistical psychopaths. If you cannot rely on your outfit to make great impressions, showing off your strong personality may be just as effective. What seems to work best with this particular theory, is to be yourself. You are the most unique individual you know. If you take pride in your individuality, focusing your confidence on your own standards rather than everyone else's, then you will glow brighter than the glow-in-the-dark stars stuck to your ceiling.

If you want to impress and do not have the right look, or the strong personality, there is still one option. Just avoid people all together who give a shit.

Gatorade and Aspirin are a Girl's Best Friend

During this amazing transition time between immaturity and adulthood, you can still get away with doing certain things before it's too late. One of those things is being able to go out to bars and clubs without being looked down on, but it's important that you learn how to do it the right way. In the past it was a much more acceptable action. You would spend hours getting dressed up, pre-gaming all night, and then sloppily heading to the bar where you end up spending all of your money for the week. You may have experienced on a regular basis, talking to random people all night with no filter, falling on the dance floor, and/or puking on the sidewalk as you stumble out of the bar. It's time to put your big-girl pants on and learn how to do it the right way, because you only have this little window where it's still acceptable for you to go and do things that are fun. Doing things you don't want to, because you have to, is the definition of "adulting". Befor...

It's Fate!

The last time I had ever heard mentioning of the phrase "life-crisis" is when my step-dad raced his Suzuki 1000 crotch rocket around town every night and fucked around on my mom. Being a teenager it seemed, by definition, a time when a man becomes tired of his wife and kids so he buys stupid things and does stupid stuff. For example, he has been married for a long time, he has teenage kids that are full of rebellion and rage, and a wife that wants absolutely nothing to do with him, because her kids are the main focus at that time. Add a nice expensive toy, a scandalous hot blonde, and a bloating confidence stemming from the sad realization he's done with his twenties, and well into his thirties and you have what is called a "mid-life crisis". During this "mid-life crisis", it seems people go into a deep and depressing denial that fuels the ridiculous behaviors and decisions they take on when they realize life has caught up with them, and they are not...
