Ad says women wearing sweatpants will send men running... eh, no...

An online retailer, Piperlime, which is owned by GAP, released an ad which reads, "Every time you wear sweatpants in public, a single guy leaves New York."



The author of this article written by Emma Gray, said she took an unofficial poll on if the ad were in any way accurate. She asked many males about women in sweatpants and she said the majority of responses went something like this - "Um ... I'm pretty sure I find girls in sweatpants attractive" and "Is that for real?"

Don't worry about it ladies. This isn't true. We guys aren't too picky. To us, if you look good, you look good. We could really care less if you're wearing a skirt, dress, tank top and jeans, scrubs, sweatpants or astronaut costume. Typically, it seems as if women get all dressed up not so much to impress guys (because we typically don't care), but in a competition with other women. 

Trust me, if us guys see a beautiful woman who's wearing sweatpants, it's not like we cringe and mumble to ourselves, "Geez...how can she go out in public in those pants? Those are hideous. I can't even bare to look at her again. Okay, maybe one more time. Those would be easier to remove. Perhaps I should get her number. Hell, maybe I'll invite her over for dinner and ask that she wears her sweatpants. I don't want to make her wonder, though. That could be good, though, providing a little mystery for her. Yeah, maybe I'll do that. Damn, she's hot." Yup, just like that... Seriously, though, I think this ad is ridiculous. To us guys, ladies, you're beautiful no matter what you wear. Whether it's sweatpants, jeans or a skirt, if a woman is beautiful, the guys will be running toward and not away from her. That's science.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
