Yeah, and it is incredibly rare for girls to flock around absolute tossers right? (obvious sarcasm)Digi7 said:
Getting women to like you isn't about styling your hair according to what you think girls will like the most or even what they tell you that they like the most. It's more about being able to do your thing (whatever it might be) in a social setting with a straight face and a hefty chunk of confidence.
Heck I got my first girlfriend when I had the metalhead look (unkept hair way past the shoulders) and acted like a reserved but confident prick most of the time. And she was a blonde "normal girl" and not exactly a metalhead herself, so one can't really blame the attraction on having similar tastes in music.
So if you're trying to discourage other guys from using hairgel because "girls won't like it", then you're not exactly the one to hand out advice, mate.
But you're right in one way though: I wouldn't advice any man to use hairgel in order to impress girls. You should use hairgel ONLY if you yourself likes to use hairgel and do everything you do with pride and confidence that shows. In fact, the less time you spend on caring what the next girl you happen to meet is going to think about you or whatever it is you do, the better.
Caring about such things should only be reserved for intimate relationships, never in front of strangers.

You should have used gelatin or some other cheap DIY-solution in order to be punk.
But then again, most punk rockers have completely misunderstood the message when they basically try to dress and look exactly like the bandmembers of the sex pistols. "We're all about being working-class, counter-cultural individuals who do shit and dress ourselves the way we want! But we constantly copy the dresstyles of Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious!"
When I see someone wearing hair gel I think of Jersey Shore...
Same way I feel about spray-on tans. (Also based off my opinion of JS)
Disgusting and it makes you look absolutely silly.

I have to so I can pass for white. I'm not kidding. I'm half black, and it only shows if I let my hair loose. Slicking it abates the racism. Also, as a guy with long curly hair, I only have so many options.
I could've done that, but its just the fakeness of it more than it is that hair gel is expensive. Besides, on me it looked better just flopped over anyway.Housebroken Lunatic said:Yup.2012 Wont Happen said:

I don't really get the idea of dressing like punk people for the sake of being punk. You're punk or you're not. If you like the "punk style" but aren't punk, go ahead and dress that way but don't call yourself a punk. If you're a punk, not doing the style doesn't detract from that.
Yeah that was kind of what I was getting at. I mean, normally gelatin is used in food products and such, it's not exactly the most conventional "hair product". But if it works, and it's cheap and an overall DIY-solution then it pretty much constitutes as a punk solution to the problem of getting ones hair to stand straight up.2012 Wont Happen said:
I mean, you've got to admit that it is kind of ironic to fork out cash for expensive hair gel in order to have a hairstyle in which you look punk, when you could just as well use something typically found in a kitchen cupboard, wouldn't you agree?
Still, if you prefer it flopped over then that pretty much settles it.

Yeah. Its better flopped. I'm also not real big on gelatin.Housebroken Lunatic said:Yeah that was kind of what I was getting at.

Hehe, I can see why. I've got a friend who used gelatin for his mohawk, and while it was effective in making it stand up for several days in a row with just one use. The thing is, it looked kind of nasty after a few days and I think hard crystal like gobbets of the stuff combined with filth started to form before he finally washed the crap out. XD2012 Wont Happen said:
He's not much of a punk though. More like a metalhead/military enthusiast. If there's any of my friends more obsessed with guns than me it would probably be him.
I just don't like gelatin cause of the whole derived from bones thing.Housebroken Lunatic said:
Fair enough.2012 Wont Happen said:
He's a carnivore though. In fact, he occasionally drinks bovine blood which he bottles himself (no joke!), he even claims to mix it up with alcohol from time to time, which must result in a rather disgusting tasting drink. So I guess that's why he doesn't have much against smearing his hair with something derived from bones and skin of dead animals.
I guess I don't have the most "normal" friends in the world. But we're friends nontheless. XD
