You're all over the place here, Huggles....

Your original post had nothing to do with showering or hygiene.

"Why do most of you dress like:

1. Your mom thinks your 12 when baggy shirts and sweats were in style

2. You shop at Value Village

3. Your appearance does not matter, you have charisma 18 and a pendant of human charming +3

This is an observation over the course of the last year or so. Some webmasters actually seem to care what they look like, alot however, do not."



From this we've gone to hygiene and hair cuts.

Since I have fabulous red hair, I'm very vain about it and I go to the hairdresser often. I also get my nails done and pedicures. But, for me, that's a reward for the sixteen fucking hours I put into this business day in and day out. Others buy clothes.

My $200. hairstyling, with highlights, costs more than my six dollar tee shirts. I spend more on pedicures than I do on clothes. The two carat diamond on my finger goes as well with sweats as it does with a gown...which, by the way, I bought for my first Vegas adventure....and, recently, just sold on Ebay, with the tags still attached.

You also talked about shopping at Value Village, as if that's a crime against humanity. it is; but, that's beside the point.

I think your third point was probably the most interesting. To some, appearance is ALL that matters. Hardly a way to judge whether or not that person is someone with whom to do business. To others, appearances are deceptive. The guy who is wearing a torn sweatshirt, with shaggy hair may be someone for whom you want to do business.

War Child. I read really really carefully. Perhaps you should read really really carefully. The original point, more or less, was why does everyone dress like slobs? Read the first post. I have it above.
