Shorts.

The name of the game is Class All Day. Not just half a day, not just part of a day, NOthing SHORT but All Day my friends. While this post is addressed to men, ladies don't tune out because behind every asshole is a good woman. So please take what you read and don't be shy to help your man. Somehow and at some point men (and women) decided that comfort trumped class. Before this degradation, the reason a man wore an ascot, a three piece suit, a top hat and braces was because he looked like a manhouse in them. He wore it because he had a pair, and he wore them because he was a gentleman who took charge with charm. Even in all types of weather conditions-if it was hot-linen, if it were cold- trench coat (not the snowman skiing jacket over a suit), if it were rainy- an umbrella and a hat (no hooded jackets). He walked with dignity and respect and was always quick with a smile and a wink for the ladies.

However, now, what rules is not dignity but comfort. He has swapped out respect for CROCS. Traded in class for shorts. I can remember the first time I scowled at someone for wearing CROCS and asked them why the hell they do it-they responded with, "I know I know...” as if already knowing the objective reality of how horrific they look, "but they are soo comfortable, it feels like you have pillows on your feet." I responded with disgust explaining that it might feel comfortable for ME to take a shit right here and now in their presence, but I don't and furthermore I feel like YOU have done the equivalent with your choice of footwear in my presence. Show some respect people.

The man of our day in age has no backbone, no fortitude; instead he bends and breaks at the slightest breeze. If any level of discomfort should affront him, he flees from it frightened, crying out in disgust frantically looking for relief. Everyone knows the natural elements can be harsh and severe at times, especially when seasons change. However, a man should never compromise on truth. For instance, now that it is summer we all are experiencing the high temperatures and blazing sun and once again, we suffer from the unfortunate inability of men being men. We see men prancing around in baggy cargo shorts in public whining about the high temperatures through their wearing of shorts when clearly there is no pool or ocean nearby. It's indecent and most of all not class all day. Even the name “short” has no positive connotations in the English language. Think about it-- “Yea he’s a great guy but he’s short.” , “Oh shucks, I’m one dollar short.”, “Damn it to all hell! My computer just SHORTed out”. Do I really need to continue? I don’t think so. Can a woman really respect a man who walks around in shorts and a t-shirt? The answer is no. No, no, no. Of course we know his response will be, "but its soo hot out and it’s comfortable." For those guys, when they ask where the restroom is you feel like saying, “go around the corner and you will see a door that says "Gentlemen" ignore the sign and go in." If it’s hot outside- thinner pants. Keep your respect. Don’t wear anything SHORT of class all day.
