I’ve always considered myself to be somewhat of a vain person. I’ve always cared about how I looked, always made some semblance of effort in trying to stay fit (relatively) and tried to stay properly groomed. If you were to have asked me if I considered myself an attractive guy, I would’ve said yes without a doubt.
But it’s funny what being engaged does to the male psyche. I find myself just not caring about my appearance anymore. I literally haven’t cut my hair since early December. I’ve been telling myself that I’m going to cut my hair everyday for the past 4 weeks. That still hasn’t happened till this day. And this is coming from a guy that cuts his own hair because he doesn’t trust barbers, and cuts it every three weeks, sometimes more frequently. Now, when I put on my glasses, I literally have wings sticking out from underneath the frame. Hell, … if I bought myself a top hat, curled them suckers and moved to brooklyn, I’d probably fit right in with the Orthodox Jews.
I also don’t shave regularly anymore and so the fu man chu gets out of control quite often. I haven’t worked out since I met my fiance, and so am getting quite soft around the mid section. Cologne? Hell, … I don’t even wear deodorant anymore (shhh, …. don’t tell anyone, ok? It’s our little secret.)
At first, I thought it was just because I’ve been terribly busy at work for the past couple of months. But in reality, this has nothing to do with how busy I’ve been. I’ve been busy before. I’ve always made time. No, … what happened was that I got engaged. As soon as I got realized that I was going to marry this chick, my entire attitude has changed. For example, last week, I came home after work and was absolutely exhausted. I passed the fuck out for a couple of hours. When I woke up, I had to go meet up with my friends. Usually, if I fall asleep, no matter if it’s only for a couple of hours, … if I wake from my bed, I feel like I have to take a shower, and get ready all over again. So I walked to the bathroom and was about to take a shower, when I thought to myself, … “man, … I don’t need to take a shower, … who are you going to impress?” And so I just washed my face just to get rid of my eye boogers, put on a sweater and walked out.
And that’s the thing, … I just don’t care anymore. And I really shouldn’t either. Why do I have to care how I look like? It’s not like I’m going out to hit on chicks. I’m already engaged. And it’s not like I have to impress my fiance anymore. She already said she’s going to marry me. That ring on her finger says so. HAHA.
Besides, … shouldn’t she be happy that I don’t care about my appearance? I mean, … by me being this way, she doesn’t have to worry about any other chick hitting on me. She has me all to herself!

uh. that susie is one lucky girl
not.
*staring dreamily at you*
susie…you’re not married yet…u can still back out. you haven’t signed any contracts with venues or anything either. HAHHAAH
The question remains “but will your fiancee still WANT you all to herself?” I see a some matchmaking in your future, guess who will be the matchmaker?
Dude, no girl has hit on you since 1994. Susie has you all to herself whether you cut your hair or not.
It’s funny you call your stray chin hair a fu-manchu. The six of them will be thrilled.
slobbing out is a two way street brother.
LOL at house of grooves comment.
HHAHA. Um…wtf? Go get your haircut, man! I definitelt think it’s great that you feel comfortable enough about being casual….but isn’t this a *bit* overboard? :shrug: I dunno….maybe you are just exaggerating…..we can all hope, for Susie’s sake.
hehe.
gee….you’re getting overboard…dont you want to look nice for her…even thought she said yes and is wearing ur ring…but there’s no contract…looking nice is like a form of respect…so go get your hair cut and dont dress like a slob…*tisk
the majority of guys I know are exactly like this. I get weirded out by guys who try to look nice. I want to immediatly set them up with my gay friends.
haha. this entry is kind’a sweet in a really gross, unhygienic sort of way. and dude, NO korean guy can ever claim to have any kind of fu-manchu thing going on. it doesn’t exist. haha
i didn’t know you were engaged..congrats!!! i think this is what happens when guys get engaged..it might even get worse after you’re married.. oh boy.. =)
what chicks have ever hit on u? did i read this entry wrong?
haha it’s true. My hair’s long, I take showers…sometimes, I don’t fill the gas tank up til it’s empty, I eat like a slob, my dark dress shirts have lint all over them, my khakis and slacks are wrinkly.
stop rubbing into everyone else that you’re engaged! it’s so obvious. haha.
ur engaged??? CONGRATULATIONS!! i can tell ur going to make ur future wifey very proud. HA.
“As soon as I got realized …” lol
man, your fiancee is so lucky. i hope my man stops giving a fuck about hygiene also, especially after i promised myself to him forever.
ditto to what susiesuperstar said. jk.
al bundy…hahaha. nice. i’m gonna take care of myself like the unibomber did after i get married. IF i get married.
“I literally haven’t cut my hair since early December.” – Dude, what hair?
just wait until I get engaged. hahhahahhha!!
just wait until I get engaged. hahhahahhha!!
isnt there a perception that females do the same thing… that once they are married or engaged they dont care anymore? well you proved that wrong.. its the other way around..
UGH! NO! u gotta still wanna look good for ur girl!
Haha, the picture of al bundy is so appropriate. I haven’t gotten to that point were i don’t care yet. I’m still holding back my farts in front of my fiance. Pretty soon I wont care and just let em rip.
i think most ppl do what you do. it just means you’re happy and comfortable. but maybe it’ll be a good idea to hit the gym once in a while. you don’t want that tire around your stomach to get out of control.
you’re funny man. =D
That’s how it is between me and my boyfriend. We’re just really comfortable around each other like that, haha.
I didn’t know that you and “susiesuperstar” are engaged. Am I wrong? I read the first few comments and it seems right.
That’s so cute! Susiesuperstar and DrEvil1.
Just random props. I saw you pop by my site so I thought I’d say thanks!

hahaha! congrats on ur engagement…..and hopefully u will still care (at least a littlbe bit) about your appearance….don’t want to scare away ur fiancee
haha. Wait until you get married. Then you really start not giving 2 shits.
You just wait until you actually married MISTER EVIL…. i gained about 20 and the husband gained about 80. I don’t brush my hair every other day, my husband stopped brushing his teeth, and trust me, it’s just going to get worse once you start to have the kids…
