Who's opinion should sway you more- that of your own sex, or that of the opposite sex?I went out to buy a coffee, and put my scarf on (the same one in my profile picture thing), as it's kind of cold. I passed a female work colleague, who said "I like your scarf, it's cool". Feeling chipper about myself I got into the lift, and went down to the ground floor. I then passed a male colleague who smirked and said sarcastically, "Nice scarf, Ben", snickered and kept walking.
So the two comments cancelled each other out. Who am I to go with? On one hand, it's a blokes' male peers that he seeks approval from, but on the other hand, let's face it, it's the ladies that he wants to impress. I usually give in to the approval team, but kind of resent it.
What's an easily-swayed fellow to do.

Keep wearing that scarf brother! Don't listen to that fool! He was probably wearing white sneakers with jeans, or a polar fleece... right?
thanks mate:) Yeah, and I think his white sneakers may have even had flouro laces..
That's right Ben, you be you're own man. If you want to wear your scarf, do it! But if I were you, I'd think it wise to consult my wife's excellent opinion. A quality I find attractive in a guy is his leadership, so you go be a leader!
Yeah thanks Trish. I try to consult E mostly with such matters, although if it were up to her I would wear cardigans and have big curly hair and a beard. You have to draw the line somewhere.
See, if a guy is jealous, say, of your scarf - which means he really thinks it looks cool - he will, instead of saying,
"I really like your scarf",
employ sarcasm instead;
"nice scarf, Ben." *snigger*
Thus, you can actually read both comments as an endorsement of your scarf :)
hey I like that!
lol Drew! :)
keep the scarf! I bet you look trendy!
thanks for the support. 'trendy' might be a bit strong though..
