That's all that I'm asking, that you let people do what they like. If they like to shower at a different frequency than you do, it's really no soap off of you bar.

But I won't participate, not willing to dedicate to the cut and paste. I think what you have done is a weird waste of time. I don't give a rat's ass about your specific view on the topic.
I've have not cut, nor pasted, once in this thread to my recollection.

The bottom line is, I find it weird to argue against washing your stinky body before going to dinner. Maybe I am indeed a terrible, judgmental so-and-so for wanting you to wash your pits before sitting down after a long sweaty day. If you think I am one, and other's agree, I'll just say I am guilty as charged. Because come on, it is disgusting to subject guests to your body funk. It just is
I find it hard to argue against logic like 'it just is' but, disgusting is in the mind of the beholder. One person's disgusting is another person's normal.

and if you need a law to make you believe me, you are beyond repair.
This reads suspiciously like you you are one of those "I'm right no matter what" posters.

"Yes. I see no reason to dress up when it doesn't change the person underneath.

All it leads to is snobbishness against those who actually could not AFFORD to dress up fancy."



I TOTALLY AGREE with the above statement.

I recently watched on old movie clip and took notice to how dapper everyone appeared, men looked like men. No matter where they went, baseball game, movie theater, restaurant, the men all wore hats and ties. Now I'm not advocating we reel the calendar back to the roaring twenties, but some balance is in order. I hate when I go into a restaurant and see some guy sitting at the table with a baseball cap on his head. No problem if it's McDonald's, but if you're dining at a restaurant where food is served to you, take the hat off. Same with khaki shorts, flip-flops, and football jerseys...save that for the ballpark or a hot dog stand.

I really enjoy the look of formal dress. But I find it uncomfortable sometimes. I live in a valley where it can get 110 degrees+ in the summer, so I'm glad its socially acceptable to dress either way. And when I do dress formal, its because I want to and I feel cute doing it, I probably wouldn't feel that way if I had to dress formally all the time because of societal expectations.

Absolutely. I believe this preoccupation with being slouchy and wearing laid back apparel wise is detracting from our collective overall mental health. The latest fashion here are those ugly, ugly stretchy spandex tights leggings thingys from the 80'S! . I will rejoice when this fad emits a death rattle and makes its way to the ragpile again. NOT attractive at all. Not even on IN-SHAPE women.

Clean pressed clothes that match and fit well are now considered fancy?

I have to say that I actually really like this country (for the most part) having a very easy going attitude towards dress. I would gladly go around in a T-shirt and shorts and sandals, and being as the summers here can get ridiculously hot, that's actually a very good idea so that you don't die of heat stroke.
At the same time, I think there are still events which should be treated with a slightly elevated set of attire. Operas, plays, business interviews of course, etc. etc. are still widely held to be the domain of formal. And I'm all for that. If we always dressed in suits (or dresses) then I don't think it would mean quite the same thing.
So I'm all for dressing however you want in real life, as long as you understand that certain events traditionally require a better dress code.

The more you post the clearer it is that Onglet39 has you pegged.
