You know- to me that like Tribal tats, and affliction shirts. Gay, follower type shit so guys can try to at least appear tuff, or "sweet". I know what your talking about though, I have been told by friend they want to get a bike because chics like them. My response, is to slap them upside the head.
I could go to the club broke, shirtless, with my dick in my hand, and do well. I got the bike to ride, not to look "cool". I built my cars to go fast, in an attempt to scare myself-not to be seen as cool in some community of social misfit toolboxes.
I work at the most popular club in Cleveland, and I see COUNTLESS males and females trying to be soooo fucking cool, and looking like a moron in the process. Cool is something you are, not something you buy. When 50% of the guys in the club are wearing the same $120 T-Shirt you are, thats should be your first clue.
This is not directed twards you-just a general rant about people trying too fucking hard to be cool, or fit in.
