If you want to wear a skirt or a hat made of fruit or MC Hammer dance pants in Oslo in January, just do it and don't worry about what people are thinking.

I'd like to wear one of those things that's shaped like a giant "U" (don't know what they're called) to hold my bangs back so that I don't have to wear a hat, but I don't because people would think it was wierd. Maybe I should anyways. I'm in a band, I can pull off being strange.

Brooker, can I know what is that U-thing? Perhaps you might want to ake a picture and post it here? Thank you.
 
I think he means those you wear to push back your hair. It's kind of like a bent comb.. Heh.. You put it on and thread and the things push your hair back.. I'm not even sure they have a name though.. Heh..
 
Brooker, so it voice down to the basic thing, that is, people are not used to seeing things that are not normal. Men wearing skirts are considered as not normal.....

Yeah, that sounds like what I was thinking of. They're usually really thin. I tried one on and I thought it made my hair look pretty cool. 👍 Don't know if anyone else would think so though.

I don't know if this has a name in english, but in France it is called a "Serre-tテェte "
 
Come mon, focus on the topic on men in skirts. You guys and gals are deviating from the Poll topic!
 
I have now split this discussion to make it a new thread.

I think the thing I'm thinking of has no name in English. :(It's like a head band, but different. A head band goes over your forehead, but the thing I'm thinking of goes over the top of your head.
 
Yup, that's them. Thanks jeisan! *awards rep points* I like the simple ones like the second one down in the right column. That way you can't really see them, especially if I wear a dark one with my dark hair, but they just pull your hair back in a cool way. Maybe I'll wear one next time I play a concert. Musicians are expected to do such strange things.
 
I have a friend who wears a headband and he's a guy. Actually, I had bought the exactly same headband, too, but I never worn it ^^; And when he's durnk, he asks everyone if they have kohl or eyeshadow... heh. He's a fun guy :) He doesn't look really fenimine, though - just really cute. I think guys can wear accessories if it suits them, why not?

By the way, how do guys survive without a handbag? How cna you stuff all your things into your pockets? To me keeping your wallet in your back pocket just screams "Please steal my wallet, you know you want to!" ^^; And all your stuff gets bent and sitting is a pain in the..hm.. well, you know where ^^;

haha, I want to wear womens hair clips because I have long bangs as well but then I might get herassed or something. davey

by the way those headbands are tits up, i want to get one.
 
Here where I live (north part of the netherlands) it was kind of a trend for guys to wear them, didn't last long though...
for some it looked really stupid, but for others it looked extremely cool, depends on the person...

i cant survive without my pockets, i wont even buy a pair of pants if it has bad pockets. guys dont have to carry around all the things girls do in their handbags, makeup and what have you. as for me, in the style of pants i wear my wallet sits just below my bum so i dont ever really sit on it and any theif would have to get a good handful before he found the wallet. :p

handfull of peanuts??? hehehe...just couldn't resist haha
:p
 
no no, of my left buttcheek. who keeps their wallet in their front pocket? :p
 
I thought most guys kept it in their right back pocket, so I find it interesting that you don't. I also keep mine in my left back pocket, by the way.
 
maybe you are left-handed?
thats what i always thought about it anyway, like whatever handed you are then thats the pocket. but then i blow my own theory out of the water since im only partly a lefty.
 
I'm not a lefty at all, so that blows it out of the water even more. :-):p
 
I always keep my wallet in my front right pocket (I'm a righty). I never understood the back pocket thing. Sit on your wallet? Easily stolen (unless jeisan's buttcheek is guarding it)? Even if I was asleep, there's no way anyone could ever get my wallet without me noticing. If my pants are tight, it's even kind of hard for me to get it out (don't quote me out of context here :D ).
 
My Chiropractor tells me that it is a bad idea to sit on a wallet, so not only have I quit carrying a wallet in a back pocket, I have stopped carrying a wallet altogether. For many years now, I have carried my folding money, pittance though it may be, along with driver's license, and a credit card or two bound with a clip in a front pocket. I have had fewer instances of low back pain since I started doing this, and I tend to carry a lot less useless crap than I did when I carried a wallet.
 
My wallet sits to my side when I'm sitting, so I don't sit on it. I suppose not having one would force (or maybe allow) me to not carry all of the stuff that I have in there now (there certainly is a lot of useless stuff), but it would be hard for me to give it up. I guess I'm just too used to it now. I must admit that I never considered the pros and cons of having a wallet this much before. I had always just figuered that it was convenient for holding money and ID cards, and didn't give much more thought to it than that.
