    16 years ago a girl my age slapped my ass and said “sorry, I couldn’t resist, it’s so nice”

    I still think about that sometimes.

      I got one about 7 years ago from a random lady in the pub (I rarely go to the pub).

      “Nice shirt”

      There was nothing more to it than that.

      It was a nice shirt in fairness.

    Recently picked up a jumper covered in mycological study sketches of various fungi.

    Lady at the supermarket stopped me and said “I really love that jumper! It’s amazing”

    😁

    I wish men’s dress fashion (including business and business casual) was more interesting. It’s very difficult to make someone feel seen when they look like they are trying to blend in.

    Suits, dress pants and button shirts with ties, boring. I mean I like the move away from formal clothing in general, but men’s formal and semi-formal clothing is boring. Idk how y’all deal with it tbh.

    Wear suit skirts. Wear bright colors. Bring back lace, jewelry, funky hats. Have fun with your clothes, push the boundaries. We could do with more fun in the world.

    (I am not a man, so I am powerless to influence this, other than stating an opinion, but bring back capes at least, please and thank you)

    I’m still on a high from a teenager telling me my Waynestock tshirt was cool.

    That happened 16 years ago.

    I was visiting a friend in a different city because I had a job interview.

    As I walked to my car in the guest parking lot on the other side of the planet in my best suit, a random dude stops his car to say “Bro, you look fuckin nice

    Made my day.

    I got the job offer, quit my shitty job I had at the time a month before the new job was to start so I could get everything moved to a new city, the Covid hit and the job offer was withdrawn and I didn’t qualify for unemployment because I’d left the first job voluntarily and never actually started the new job :(

    Things are going great now, though.

    Random guy said this to me ages ago while I was shopping. I delayed in responding to him because it was so out of the blue and we were going in different direction when he said it, so it caught me off guard for sure. I still think about that day.

    A common denominator for all of us … or many or most of us … is the music we listened to when we were teenagers
