Also, Subcutaneous Electronic Devices are a Turnoff

It was with a combination of amusement and dismay (but mostly amusement) that I surfed through the Fashion4Nerds.com website. Among my faux pas caught by the website: my red ski jacket; my ski mitts; my backpack; my white socks; my tucked-in plaid shirt; my baseball cap; my fancy Casio digital watch; my on-belt pager; …

And that's just today.

At least I'm in compliance with rule number 3 on the pants page: "Always wear a belt."

Because, otherwise, where would my pager go?

I shared the website with Mrs. Salad. Her immediate response: "Ah, it says here that they're asking a bunch of 20-something women about this stuff. You're not looking to impress the young chicks are you?"

"No, of course not. But, you know, you bought me all of those plaid shirts …"

Well, you're not looking to impress the young chicks, are you?"

"Ah. No."

So there's that. I pass the website and its advice along to any of our younger male readers. And I plan to continue wearing a belt, and take my chances with the prospect that it might drive young women wild.
