Grief over your appearance - Page 3

This is funny - over here, leather jeans (suede, or heavy biker clothing type leather) are a must-have if you want to be considered "tough" and "a real man" (Think Wolverine). Most heavy metal fans here wear black or brown leather trousers and black hoodies and have really long hair ... with the Wave Gotik Treffen coming up I can just envision the confusion

Maybe people ask you if you're gay because you probebly look...gay. (No offense meant to you or anyone else). If you arnt happy with the responses that you get from other people on your outfit try changing it. I got asked that quite a few times and had many a gay man hit on me.

Worst. Advice. Ever.

Well if he is truly so concerned about what other people think of his appearence that he would start a thread about it then the only real course of action would be to either ignore these people or change his appearance. If it bothers him so.

'Ignore' is the better advice, don't you think?

Ultamatly it's up to him what he decides to do. I was just giving alternatives.

You gave one alternative. And it wasn't a very good one.

Yeah well my friend refers to herself as a dyke so I never thought too much of it.
