OK . . . here's my deal:
I'm going to be forever that person that does goofy shit in formal situations, b/c it's funny. It's a fantastic icebreaker, and it's a startlingly effective business strategy because, unlike your inferences, most people in the business world DON'T WANT TO BE DOUCHE BAGS. Dressing up or down has very little to do with maturity, and absolutely nothing to do with your qualifications as a boyfriend. Using "tradition" to justify idiotic social norms can, to cop a phrase, eat some ass. Inferring that you can't find a guy to take off your coat b/c we all lack "traditional values" is the biggest cop-out I've ever heard.
Also - my name is Rob, I'm qualified for MENSA and I want to be a pediatrician. I start Med School next year. I'm 23, but I will act like I'm 23 often. I feel that this is important. Why?
Because I've never heard anyone before you use the term "old-fashioned" in a positive way (with respect to people; skondra's makes some mighty fine old-fashioned ice cream, yo). Girls will continue to refer to me as "fun" rather than "old" until the day i die. I win.
