So, yeah, I pretty much keep it to myself.

Sheesh. Grounds for divorce.

My wife refers to all the men's fashion sites now as "cloth club". As in, "are you looking at cloth club again?" lolz

My wife asks me if there is anything new on styleforum everyday (just to make fun),she prefers that I go out and do something rather than stay home saying that I will end up on styleforum anyways.

Part of the problem is that there are so many inside jokes here that outside observers are bound to think we are sick, awful people.

The OP found SF when I accidentally forgot the clear the browser on his computer. I didn't want him to know that I was a member (I assumed he would bust my balls) but forgot nonetheless. That mistake of mine has probably cost DapperDave more money than he would care to think about.

I am enjoying this thread tremendously.

Grammar school social anxiety and fears...few things are more entertaining.

I particularly like the **** card...that is always a nice touch.

A spectacular thread would be WIGYAHRTT...Who is Giving You a Hard Time Today. You would take photographs of people deriding you as it happens, and then post them.

Surprisingly, no one asks or cares for that matter.

My tailor is amazed at some the suits I bring in. He can't figure out how I pay $600 for fully canvassed, hand tailored stuff when he would pay that much, if not more, for the fabric alone.

My girlfriend couldn't care less.

I keep my corners of the internet to myself.

I have a couple of friends I met online (not here), when asked we usually answer that we met in a sauna and mention that one of us had a mustache. The truth is more boring than fiction.

BTW people under 30 met a lot of other people online, either through forums, facebook or whatnot so there's nothing particularly shocking about that, unless you happen to present the forum as "a place where men take pictures of themselves so other men can determine how good they look" which gets you the usual second-rate comments about being gay recycled from countless of other conversational topics during which the person had to call someone else gay because it was the expected thing to do.

You're friends with Ernest?

I never answer questions, so this presents no problem to me.

A tangential question: when you smoke in a sauna, does it create a particularly toxic fog when combined with the steam?

Just curious.

No, it all just goes limp.

My GF constantly checks to make sure I'm not ****. Otherwise, she just rolls her eyes.

that's actually pretty funny (sorry for laughing at your expense)
