the land of the faux-hawk
I’m not quite sure what’s up with this. Perfectly attractive young men, all of them, so far as I can tell (and some of the not so attractive ones too) seem to have decided, for some un-bobly reason, that the fauxhawk is a great hairstyle, and they should all wear it.
All of them. From the little school leaver-types of 17 or so, to the lab demonstrator, who’s got to be at least as old as I am.
Not that I’m old. Just not 18.
So yes, every guy I’ve come across here (excepting the ones wearing uniforms) has had this, well, for lack of a better word, thing growing out of the top of his head. I don’t know if it’s because a real mohawk is too hardcore, or if it’s a NZ emo thing, or if they’re just so afraid of their parents that they can’t do it right, but…
Of course, for all I know, it’s this great international guys hairstyle, popular everywhere, and I just missed it because I am, to put it politely, not fashionable. And even if I were, i doubt I’d spend any time researching guys fashion further then- hmmm, he’s cute, and his jacket/ shirt/ jeans show off his shoulders/ chest/ hip cut/ butt really well. I admit it, I am a bad person. I look at men like pieces of meat, only with the intention of trying to lure one home with me- a motivation I rarely have with meat.
But the faux hawk, and the whole “most of them are just out of school” thing really throws me off. Well that and the whole shorter/ thinner than me thing. It’s like boys who are prettier- it just doesn’t work. But I can still look at shorter guys, even be really interested in them. The dratted bad hair thing, though, that really throws me off. I can’t even look at them in a lascivious manner, I nearly burst out laughing. Not, I’m sure, that they want me leering at them. After all, how many 18 yo boys would be happy being leered at by a female of twenty-mumble years. Rephrase- a geeky female of 20-something years.
Ok, fine, most guys aren’t offended by being leered at by anything younger than their grandparents.
But I don’t get to leer at them, I’m too busy trying not to laugh. argh.
So what does this teach us? Class? Anyone?
Exactly, the lazy one needs to get off campus, and out into town, or out of town. Maybe someday. And perhaps when I get there, there will be better hair.

Rule of thumb is when you see it on TV, like the faux hawk, it’s already old. And When there’s no particular style attached to the hair, then it’s faux paws (pardon my animalistic french). And remember even the best men have to go through college to learn what’s fashionable (lots of emulation).. Perhaps you should be hanging out with the ‘art’ crowd for more diversity in appearances, if you can stand the clove cigarettes. As it is, that’s where counter culture usually hangs out, or laziness masked as counter-couture? I can’t believe I’m trying to help you get laid! *pout*
And ‘ahem’ the older you are the easier it is to snag someone so mired in pretention that they won’t notice you trying to trophy them, as they trophy you, the sophisticate.
Perhaps I should take my own predatorial skills and mold me a young-un into a sex-crazed freak? Sweet! project!
I was molded into a sex-crazed freak. Unfortunately, I am completely under-appreciated.
However, since I have this annoying habit of clinging until I know the relationship is completly fried, and I am an avid believer in fidelity, I am pretty screwed. So good luck molding someone into a sex-crazed freak. It isn’t that hard.
Go hard and heavy on the sex for a few weeks then start denying it. You will produce someone who will start begging for some foreplay. Even if it is only a little foreplay and no follow through. I can tell you this from experience. Have lots of fun!!!
