Talking Skinny

A debate always has two sides which also mean their are two answers. No right or wrong usually comes of it because that's just what a debate is; the idea of something you feel strongly about and then trying to persuade the other team. Currently people are in debates over who is a better fit for the presidency this year, the current democrat Barack Obama or a republican who would have his first term, if elected, Mitt Romney. Another debate could be who is the bigger Queen of England, the actual Queen or Elton John ( love ya Elton). I would like to bring up a debate that had sparked my attention lately. Something that I feel really needs to be addressed. With fall just around the corner fashion trends are everywhere, most catering to woman. But occasionally I do see the man trends coming along and it is nice to see men taking pride in what they are wearing. It's better than a bum that is content wearing sweatpants hanging below his butt crack and a graphic tee stating "your mom is hot". So, the debate for question is: should a man wear a skinny jean? Let me explain how this gained my attention.

This all came about when I overheard a young woman telling her girlfriend she was contemplating NOT going out with a guy for the first time because his denim, from the upper thigh and straight down to his ankles were fitted.  Basically, he was a fan of the skinny jean. Is this bad or good? Should we judge a man by the cut of his jeans instead of taking the time to get to know him first? Woman, are we that shallow? I mean, come on ladies, I doubt a man would dismiss going out with us over an ill-fitting pair of pants that could translate into a nasty case of camel toe. Or, maybe he would. But in any case I think getting to know someone before you judge them on their clothing might be the best option because if you do like them, and start a relationship, better clothing suggestions down the road are possible. But giving up on a nice person because of materials is ridiculious.

I am not sure if that girl ever gave Skinny Jeans Guy a chance but what I do know is that camel toe can happen to men too. It's called moose knuckle. Hey, it happens.
