Can I just say something about this new trend that the world seems to think is gonna happen? That men are gonna wear one-piece rompers this summer?
First off, I just don't see it happening. If those things don't come with some sort of quick way out for the pee-peeing, I just don't see guys wearing them. Too much trouble for them. Women have been putting up with taking their clothes all the way down forevs. Guys? Not so much.
I don't have any hate for the outfits if that's what someone is into. Personally, I don't think they're very attractive on a dude. Even if the dude has a great body. They just don't work for me. To each his own and all, but I don't dig it.
It's not like I'm opposed to guys wearing one pieces. Like overalls. I was a teenager in the 90's when this was veeeery trendy. But again, it's not really a good look for a guy. Not like this.
See this guy right here? This guy works for a living. This is the look of overalls I'm all about. He needs those pockets and adjustable straps. This adorable farmer gets the job done and looks super cute while he's doing it. Think he wears a romper on the weekends? Think again.
I like hardworking men. Men that get dirty all day. These guys? They don't do that. They are pin-ups for peeps who think they like a hardworking man. They probably really have no idea what that looks like. I can tell you those guys typically don't wear designer underwear though. JS.
These guys know something about a hard day's work. And they don't give 2 flying shits about what they wear all day as long as it meets safety regs. They need clothes they can kneel and reach in without having to worry about the buttons flying off. Can rompers provide that kind of fluidity? I doubt it.
Now some guys will try the romper trend because they think they can pull it off. They think they can look like Cam Newton. Newsflash, most guys do not. Should they even try? Well, like I said before, to each his own. But having a perfect healthy body like Cam's certainly helps in the romper department. Most of us girls decided long ago that Cam can do whatever he likes!
And before you try to make me feel bad that I dig on my very hairy and very masculine-looking men, I turn you to the great Nikki Giovanni who loved Beautiful Black Men. She made no apology for loving Wilson Pickett and Mighty Mighty Sly. As people we know what we like...what turns our heads and what doesn't. Should we feel badly about that?
Yeah, I like dudes with beards. Big crazy dirty beards. I like guys that get dirty at work. I like guys with deep voices and hairy chests and bulky bodies....the kind that don't really, uh, fit into rompers. Do I have a type? Well, hellz yes, I do!
Not artistic or artisanal beards. Not bodies that are waxed and shaven within an inch of life. Not clean carpenter jeans that have never seen any kind of carpentering. I guess I just like, well, manly men. I'll stand by while someone comes over to rip me to shreds for saying that.....
But in the words of Garth Brooks (another guy who I'm pretty sure won't wear a romper) y'all will just have to "blame it all on my roots". I grew up watching movies like "The Outsiders" and "Dirty Dancing" and with a dad who was a carpenter. I grew up in the country with boys who learned to drive tractors before cars. These guys were my coming of age and early education. I don't even think science and medication has figured out how to fix that to this day!
Do I like sensitive artsy men? Jesus H. Have you ever heard me howl away with The Cure and Psychedelic Furs? I friggin love them! But do they get my goat like Patrick Swayze used to? Not so much. And neither do guys in rompers. I ain't saying I hate any of them. I guess I'm just saying you shouldn't expect to see my hubs in one. It's not his style or mine. And in the end, I guess that's one of the many, many reasons why we're together.
BTW, if you've ever wondered if there's a perfect combination of beardy rugged man and sensitive artistic man, why yes, there is! There really is! But I've STILL never seen Paul in a romper! Oh, wait.....
