Wearing popular brands not an indication of vanity

Hey, look at that guy wearing the Abercrombie shirt. Yeah, he must have "billboard-syndrome."

Excuse me Rick, but when did wearing brandname clothing become a sign of being vain?

Why should guys who happen to like the way they look in Abercrombie clothing be labeled as posers?

How can you possibly justify one person not talking to another only because of the clothing they wear?

Now, when it comes to the ladies, I am as clueless as the next guy, but if a girl does not want to talk to me simply because of the label on my shirt, then I don't want her talking to me in the first place. So ladies, if you want to be lonely and unhappy, then follow the advice of my close-minded classmate, Mr. Law.

If you want to find the nice guy you deserve, then this is the best advice I can give: Find a guy who is different enough to look past the clothing you wear and treat you the right way because of the kind of person you are.

There are a lot of us out there on campus, maybe even that guy in the Abercrombie shirt.

Good luck and happy hunting.
