I do apologies for the gap in posts I’ve just set you with. I have been knee deep in all that is my life outside of the gentleman world. The cards were not enough for us when it came to ordering them. I felt that we needed to give the first and all liaisons that sign up for GwR a beautiful invitation that they cannot ignore. Once everything is put together and out on the market, we should see a large influx of posts making this site a great place to stop by. I’ll be sure to keep you all updated on the awesomeness of the website. As for smaller updates on the site, we just upgraded a small portion of the website that allows you to have a different view from your iPhone for faster load times and an easy read. I am sure I’ll have a fantastic post for you all tomorrow, and hopefully everything sent out to be printed.

I was paroling the men.style.com website and stumbled upon how fashion designers are dabbling into the chest hair saga. You can check out some of the photos here. I honestly don’t know how I feel about showing off the chest. I have certain physical aspects that I have to take into account when I rock the super-alpha-chest-out style. The first thing I’m going to look at is how my chest hair is looking at the moment. If you’re going to show the chest hair, it better look good with your outfit, facial structure and all that jazz. If it doesn’t you should just shave it off. Now if you’re rocking the hair-free chest, I want to be able to see two things. First is the collar bone. If I don’t get a proper dip or bulge out of the Pectoralis below the bone, I can’t rock the uncovered chest.

If you look at the photo set, you see zero well built men, with the exception of someone who slightly looks like they are working out, our friend the pirate. Now that’s also taking into account that recently the male model has dwindled in size. In a majority of fashion shows they’ve gone from the GQ average model waist size of 31 to as low as 28. Apparently fragile with chest hair is what the fashion industry is trying to dish onto us. Let’s not take into account the Pajama style suit in the middle of this photo shoot from Dolce and Gabanna that made me want to throw up. Or be a mob-boss.

Remember that fashions this small will come and go. Just because they chant to show it, if it’s not in your style, you don’t need to rock it. There are many ways to dress well, and classic style that will always be timeless. I do have an old shirt that falls into this show the chest style, I may bust it out and see what it looks like once again. We’ll see how that goes.

It is easier to reject change or new things then it is to accept them. It is even harder for us to keep an open mind for new information or new things to be a part of our life. We are built to be a creature of habit, and most of us cannot break from this. Yet knowing that it is an out-dated feature of how we were built, is the easiest way to fight it. When you are approached to try a new food, for example, your mind’s first reaction is to not do it out of self-preservation. Yet it’s just food, and probably something thousands of people have eaten before you.

Having an open mind in conversation is where we are also hesitant. The reason for that is because most people speak on behalf of self interest and not for the growth of another person. Taking in information with a grain of salt is different than infusing questions that can confirm the information you receive is completely accurate.

Negativity as a default is the final thought that I will say is no way to live. Resorting to hate, anger, or annoyance as your first reaction to anything from food to people is perceived by others on a sub conscious level. After time is spent with people that do this, it is pulled forward to their conscious and then you are perceived as a negative person.

Breaking these habits are difficult tasks for a person to go through, but once you’re on the other side, you’ll notice that the only thing that truly changes is personal happiness. It will not cause a negative change in your life if you remove the primary default negativity function that you may have been set on over time.
