Dirty T-Shirts And The Social Scene

You walk yourself into a nightclub and push through the thick crowd to the bar. Once there, you get a nice drink for yourself and finally turn to the hustle and bustle to check things out. Your gaze shifts through the multitude but stops briefly on an attractive face. You do a quick scan and catch sight of someone you may like. A quick look-over is all you spare, though, because there is absolutely nothing that stands out at you.

Here's the same scenario, but just slightly different: You walk into that same bar and you order that same drink. Your eyes find the form of that attractive person, but what's this? That attractive person is still wearing a t-shirt, but it says "I Like It Dirty" on it. See how a dirty t-shirt can change everything? You are now intrigued and interested in this person, where before you could care less.

This revelation comes down to one simple fact: most of us have the opposite sex on the brain. This is something that is shared by each person you meet. Everyone has either had a relationship, wants to have a relationship, is thinking about a relationship, or just finished having a relationship. When these thoughts are shoved from the back of the brain to the front of the brain, we no longer have to worry about mincing around with the unimportant pretenses.

Why, oh why, do we have to live in terror of such a beautiful thing? Our relations are meant to be shared and enjoyed by people...not hidden away and kept in a secret place for no one to see. There are plenty of people out there who still see these things we do together as something terrible and secretive, but there are also many more out there who are progressive and understanding. The only way to reach these people is to advertise, advertise, and advertise.

Try a little experiment if you don't believe me. Wear whatever you want to the bar or club one evening this week. Carouse as you normally would, but be very crass and outlandish with your conversation. You'll find yourself snubbed more often then not. The next time you go out, wear a dirty t-shirt and do the exact same thing. People will be far more receptive to your crude conversation because the dirty t-shirt draws people who are interested out from those who aren't. Like minds make for like conversations, and I'm quite sure you'll like where these conversations lead to.
