    Actually scratch that, you can put in your measurements if you know them for dress shirts. All I needed to do was scroll down more...

    A butterface with the body of a supermodel wants me to sponsor her snowboarding career. Im considering it. I told her id have to think of some kinda patch to put on her uniform....I could do the ISH logo I guess but what if she traced it back here and sees I called her a butterface? Nah. Thats not gonna work.....though I guess she isnt a total butterface. Her face just doesnt match the body. I hate to say it but she seems like the type to get a nose job and the perfect hollywood teeth installed and try to destroy all evidence of not being born the total package.

    Give me beautiful face and average body on a ho who knows how to dress. At least if im gonna be introducing her around and shit.

    If you watched snow boards last weekend , they do NOT take their helmets off during an interview.
    You could have a dog face , and have 100 sponsors like you...
    Most of these snowboarders are like 16-22 years old. (after that they are has beens)

    So...turns out the main function of a sponsor beyond maintaining equipment...is travel. Thats why she needs me. We are in the south. Not many places to snowboard. She needs monthly trips to colder places to build enough points to be eligible for the kind of events that get on TV.

    So for a couple full body suits, a new board, buckles, boots and all the related shit...the year fee....and events...might be 1500 total for a year. But the November to april trips to colorado, ohio, michigan, cali and so on....that is where the money adds up.

    She wont stop bugging me about it now that ive told her id consider it.

    You all aware of the Honey app for online shopping? You add it as an extension to chrome or whatever you use and it runs coupon codes on every site automatically.

    Saves me money on things I wouldnt even think had coupons. Just took 25% off my papa johns order and earlier dropped some cologne from like 69 dollars to 54. I forget its even there most of the time and dont bother to let it scan. Every time I do it saves something though.

    Demand that for you to sponsor her she will have to segue into surfing thereby putting dat body to good use. It's only fair

    What colognes would you reccomend? I saw one from Tom Ford called Tobacco Vanille
    Which sounds like it might smell nice, but his prices seem ridiculous. Would love to find something similar, or maybe even a wood type scent. Know of anything that you like along those lines also?

    Tom Ford has some good ones but yea....they are mostly double what you would pay for even really good cologne.

    You need to get a sample site like scentbird that lets you get a new one every month. And they send enough that it will last for months. I have some from a year ago I dont wear often. I only buy the ones I loved.

    You might like English Laundry Cambridge knight if you want something woody. Ive never met anyone who didnt love it.

    One woman I know had me give my sample size to her son when I bought a full bottle. She thinks its what a man should smell like.

    Thanks I just bought a sample of that cologne, I'll be sure to let you know. Tried signing up for the monthly site but there was an error with my PayPal, so I'll have to try again in a bit. It's hard balancing what I like versus what women will like...But I suppose my own confidence wearing it plays a factor in it also. Also bought a sample of Versace Eros to see what that's like, seems to have good reviews.

    What are your thoughts about some of these if you've tried them?

    Both of these guys have good, and bad reps behind them as far as what they push sometimes

    I have Eros. It’s really orange smelling which I like....but it’s strong. Easy to put on too much which I hate.


    And yea there is a big difference between what women love and us. I have some 1 million which every guy I’ve let try it loved. Many have asked me what it is. I’ve never been complemented on it by a woman though. I’m not saying they hate it but they never mentioned it to me and men always want to know what it is.

    Women always love goldrush, La Nuit de L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent, and curve. Curve is 12 dollar cheap smelling stuff you can get at Kmart and EVERY woman I know loves it. Also Prada luna Rosa.

    Givenchy Pi is pretty amazing too but it costs. Cool water is like curve. Cheap but women love it.

    If you wanna go cheap....curve and cool water.

    Not my favorite but I’ve had women I didn’t know that well bury their heads in my chest over it. Curve and gold rush had the biggest reaction. A Woman followed me for probably a minute when I had on gold rush and told me she was just following the trail when I noticed. Looked like some shit from a movie.

    I must have put it on right when I got out of the car because I’d never wear enough to detect at the range she seemed to. Must have been fresh. I actually went and wiped it off after that because I worried it was too detectable.

    I'll have to buy some samples of those, thanks for the recommendations. That one story of the woman following you sounds a TAD disturbing, but I'd be a liar if I said that wasn't the kind of attention I wanted from wearing cologne.

    Have you started digging into watches yet, or have you held off for now? I'm thinking about buying a Rolex, or a Grand Seiko in two years for for my 30th. It's quite the expense for such a frivolous purchase...But since Rolex at least tend to hold their value, or even appreciate in value if I have to sell it I wont be screwed. Seikos don't hold quite as well from what I know

    I don't get how lots of people prefer the Rolex Submariner to the Oyster Perpetual. Guess it's just my taste for dress watches, but something about the numbers on the edge of the watch seem obnoxious to me.


    Really love this one I bought, the open heart is cool to look at

    If you want to go a tad cheaper in the Rolex line, you might like the Oyster Royal if vintage watches interest you. Either way a Rolex is a conversation piece, but these even more so IMO. But there's risk involved as you have to find a legit dealer, the quality isn't quite as good, and it might not be the easiest thing in the world to hunt down. So I wouldn't blame you preferring something new.

    From what I've seen their range is somewhere between 1k-5k

    1963

    1957

    1955



    Inside secrets of a pocket watch from 1680


    I think it's hilarious given the perception today that when wrist watches first came out men thought it was feminine, and preferred their pocket watches.

    Not sure what some of the more experienced watch heads would think of this...But if/when you get a Rolex you should consider sending it to someone like this guy to make it unique for you. Idk what it would do to the value if you decided to sell it, but it's beautiful nevertheless

    Well God damn...Not sure which I like more the Acqua Di Gio Profumo, or the Cambridge Knight you reccomend...Leaning towards the Knight but both are good. Might come down to which I get more compliments from. Thanks again.

    I like the Cambridge knight partly because nobody ever knows what it is. Some cologne is too popular. you notice others wearing it all the time. Cambridge...never happens.

    Aqua di gio some people will recognize on you. Not that that
