How Many Of The Men Here Rock The Violet Lenses?

[tj1230]

I absolutely love my Infinite Hero Fuel Cells. It's even better when you see a purple heart receipiant wearing a pair of IH Juliets. Anyways, I am 6'5" and just shy of 300 lbs I have never had someone tell me that they were a girl's color or glass. I probably would have used a few choice words.

You know I love and hate threads like this; because its funny but because its also aggravating that such myopic thought processes still exist in 2012. I have 3 advanced degrees, I work in an office, I probably spend 75% of the time my wife does getting ready to go out for an informal dinner (and she takes a good amount of time), I'm a fan of jazz and classical music and I wear Violet..and Fire...lenses in my Oakleys.

I also grew up on a ranch, can wield and axe like few people I know, used to race stock cars, can rebuild an engine, do all my own auto maintenance, can re-plumb my house and have every home improvement power tool imaginable and know how to use them, love country music and modern rock and I wear Ice, Titanium, Black and Emerald lenses in my Oakleys.

So....how you LOOK at a certain point in time and what you are actually made of or capable of means NOTHING. I consider it a matter of balance (and for me pride) that I can change my oil and rotate my tires in the morning, fit in a weight session at lunch, and then shower and go out for dinner wearing my Violet IH Juliets with nobody being any the wiser I was a grease covered mess 6 hours earlier. And here's a little secret? Women LOVE that. LOVE IT. Its the best of both worlds...its the "traditional real man" who gets dirty and fixes this and that, takes care of the laborious stuff.....but who cleans up and is also sophisticated and polished.

Real men really don't give a sh*t what anybody else thinks about how they look. Frankly I do not dress to impress other dudes. There's a word for that... think Sir Elton. (NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT)

I spent a decade in the Marine Corps, teach home safety, handgun safety, marksmanship and concealed carry classes. I built a business that supports 40 Americans and in my spare time raised three adult sons that have never been arrested nor had an unintended pregnancy.

Seriously, would I care if someone didn't like my wearing arguably the most bitchin colorway that is the IH series? That's a clown question, bro!

Hahaha....you know what I've always asserted? Own the item, don't let the item own you. Accessories are that...an accessory, an add on or adjunct to the primary and the primary as the base should project through the accessory, coloring the perception of the accessory with the base.

Someone basically said that exact thing about me at Costco last week while wearing IH Juliets. She said "those glasses aren't wearing you, you're wearing those glasses". Note "she" said it.

O Violet lenses are sweet looking. If you pair them with a pink shirt, you literally grow hair on your chest.
