You've just lost patience from all the sex that's come your way, but you're too classy to talk about.

Well, I'm 28 and surrounded by 28-year-olds. I think that pretty much explains it.



That's not exactly what I'm getting at. I have no intention of dressing to please others and I don't feel bad about myself. However, it is massively irritating that my clothes wind up dominating conversation whether I like it or not.


Stop hanging out with old and uncool people.

Meh. I get the "Why are you so dressed up today" deal when I first meet people. After saying something like "that's how I dress" they usually get over it. Those who keeps harping on it go in the douche-bag category, and I avoid socializing with them. Anyone with a head on their shoulders should be well adjusted enough to deal with people who are different than them.

I think you are handling it well. Kudos for being polite and deferential. It will likely fade.

That's one thing they got right, no?

Turn your despair into your strength....I recommend using the fact that you are a finalist to pick up chicks, especially those who go googly eyes with anyone remotely near the fashion industry.

It could be worse. You could have won. Then you'd be wearing square-toed Kenneth Coles.
