Maybe I'm wrong but this is how I interpretated his post;

I think what he's trying to say is don't dress to please others, dress how you think is cool and be happy with yourself for doing so.

EDIT: ...and, I s'pose, to a lesser extent, that, these days, we tend to place far too heavy an emphasis on appearance. Don't brush your teeth because the TV commercial told you it'd make all the girls want to fuck you, brush your teeth so the things don't rot and fall out of your head, like.

Well, it's all about moderation, there are people who care too much about their appearance, there are also people who don't care enough about it obviously, considering America is the most obese country on earth.

What a person considers to be attractive and weither or not they want others to think of them as attractive, that's their business. I'm not gonna judge a person for that.

Not caring about your appearance is simply rejecting the standard formula of what is acceptable.
If one of those people fall into a category you've created based on a standard formula, then you are just as wrong as you think they are.

I highly doubt the reason so many people are morbidly obese is because they're sticking it to the man.

I think it's impossible not to stereotype some people, if I'm guilty of it then I'm sorry, what can I say? But my opinion is only a subjective one, I'm not oppressing anybody because I have certain ideals concerning what I find attractive and what I find repulsive, different people find different things attractive.

If you like women with moustaches and hairy legs than more power to ya man, but we all have our own standards of how we think other people should behave and look, I know you do, Wayfarer obviously does, I mean that's what this thread is ALL about. It's basic human nature to want other people to live up to certain standards you hold ideal, it's something every living human being is guilty of.

Yeah I dunno why so many asian women want to look more white.

Japan is one of the grand champions when it comes to beautiful women.

These things are always the most effective signal to let people know that you're a total f*cking douchebag.
