It's back to business as usual

So the mercury's rising and the sun is shining. So I can wear my sunglasses while out for lunch. So I can wear sandals and no hose. So I've even changed my blog template to be spring-like and cheery. But does this mean I change my personality into an innocent, sunny one? I think not. So here comes a RANT.

I can't believe it when I have conversations like this one:

Male Colleague: "I'm not going to shave for my date."
Me: "Why not? It's basic manners to shave for your date."
Male Colleague: "Listen, you only do that if you want to make hot chicks fall for you. My date is hot. So I don't need to attract other hot chicks."
Me: "What about your date though? Why should she have to go out with an unshaven man?"
Male Colleague: "Well, I'll look rough and older for her."
Me: "Pu-lease. Just shave. And you don't need to look any older than you already are. Trust me."

Gentlemen! If you want your girlfriend to smell nice, perhaps even wear decent clothes and have a cute haircut, unless you are God's Gift To Womankind (i.e., [ladies, insert your choice of man]), you should do the same. Otherwise, expect to be treated likewise, that is unless you don't mind your girlfriend having hairy armpits.

If we want a bit of rough, we'll just look into the nearest construction site for a hard helmet, all right? Not that we would. But anyway, that's not the point. The point is, just try to be on more friendlier terms with soap and the shower. Remember, cleanliness is next to godliness. On no account justify the following old nursery rhyme:

What are little girls made of?
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice and all that's nice,
That's what little girls are made of.

What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
Frogs and snails and puppy-dogs' tails
That's what little boys are made of.
