Why do some guys care so much about their belts?
The other day, I saw a dude with little spikes on his belt, and the belt-buckle itself was a shiny silver wheel that could spin in circles. I’m not a liar—it looked pretty cool… but what’s the point?
A belt should be meant for nothing other than utilitarian purposes, specifically holding up your pants. It should never be used as a tool to attract potential romantic partners (or hitting unruly children, because that’s just awful).
A belt holds up your pants.
A car gets you from A to B, it doesn’t have to look good or sound good.
Some things are meant to be used; other things are meant to be enjoyed.
A belt is not art. It’s not meant to be enjoyed; it’s meant to be used.
So, to that man with the cool belt, your belt belongs hung up in a museum, NOT on your pants, because that thing is ART and should NOT be used to keep you from accidentally exposing yourself. Get a long piece of twine and use that to keep your pants up instead. That’d be more appropriate.
Until next time,
