Dear Dakkanauts (I hope that's right)...

It has come time for me to once again rear my ugly head and request, nay, demand, that we all get to know eachother a little bit better. Thus, around this time every year, I start one of these. Sadly, I was not around last year, and so I was not able to make one. Let me make up for it.

First off, please, please do not post images to the DakkaDakka server. They will be deleted, and no-one will be able to see your pretty faces. Second, nothing obscene or related in any way to illegal acts (I.E., don't take photos of you having a rip off your bong (And yes, I am talking to you, KingCracker)).

Anyway, to start, here I am after spending the better part of 12 hours in a cave.

That's me coming in from a recent night out, hence the eyes.

Me documenting the haircut to tell my stylist(wife) what I want different and like.

This is my pullin' face:


And my "tired and bored out of my skull face"


Bae caught me diggin. Still love her doe.

That stuff belongs to the girls I live with! The blue container is my stuff, but that's just your standard shower gel, exfoliating facial scrub, moisturiser, eye cream, night serum, shampoo, moisturiser, hair chutney... Y'know, the basics.

Training on the B412. Hoping to drive Sea Kings in a few months.

@jihadin I wish haha.

This is me at a bar with my lovely boss, from a couple of weeks ago:



Girls dig my dimples in particular.

edit: uploaded a different, better picture. (even though I am not looking into the camera. My choice of pictures is sadly somewhat limited, since I don't have many on my computer)

I'm to the right, and as you can see I am terribly bad at creating dynamic poses (unlike my friend, who brilliantly used a dynamic pose to avoid being photographed)

Hej, that is mean, we are not twins and I totally do not look like my friend. Why does everyone always keep telling me that we look so similiar? We don't. (I'm much more handsome )

You have the same design in shoes, jeans, a different logo on black shirt, and virtually the same hair colour, and hair style. You copy each other, you are pretending to not know why people say you're similar.

Stop doing this btw, you cramp each other's style.

Spoilered due to immense size... but this is about the most recent picture of me, that I use for these threads








I am the one with tape round the ears, in the middle.... and yes, before anyone asks I AM a Hooker, and I'm quite proud of that fact

It appears to be some sort of rules-based exercise occurring between some men.

We are preparing for one of many, many srcums during a Rugby match.

You can tell it's rugby from the beer bellies.

I was making a joke. You are right and I am fully aware of the fact my friend and I have a lot in common (it is why we became such good friends in the first place). We do look very similar on this picture as we are both wearing black shirts and you can't see my friend's face. We are wearing different jeans and shoes however. (though the general design is virtually ubiqitous) I actually happen to like my hairstyle. it is just difficult to be different. There are so many people; there is hundreds of guys running around with the same style. There are people with the same hair and clothing style you have as well. The lack of diversity in the mainstream (affordable) clothing shops doesn't really help either. And if I would choose a different style just for the sake of being different, well, that would probably just make me unhappy, wouldn't it?
And since when did this turn into a 'criticise poor old Ilyusha's appearance' thread? You guys are making me insecure Now please give me a compliment to make it up.

Well, if you are a human, I'll take that as a compliment.

What you really have going for you is that you are naturally thin. I know you mentioned cost and availability of clothes, but you can slowly build a new bad ass wardrobe using gift money throughout the year and tips to your family members/friends that will completely put you ahead of your boys visually, and when it comes to girls you'd be the alpha of your crew. Nice button-up shirts that are solid colors or have subtle, sleek designs to continue emphasizing your figure, really cool sweaters with high collars or a few thick buttons on a v-neck, all of these should be slim fit and tight on your body. Pants can be boot cut jeans that aren't skinny like yours. Get a new pair of classic 'formal' shoes (they can be cheap, just make sure they are durable) to go with these, they should be black. Your hair you can probably keep with this look, it would work nicely and still fit your clique's main scheme and likewise the girls you have your eye on would still like you. In addition to the benefits it would yield in your particular social circle, older folks will probably treat you better. You have the body that a lot of people wish they had, you can wear some seriously nice threads.

Thanks.

Yeah, well I wouldn't pay too close attention to 'maple syrup' over there. Bootcut jeans and black formal shoes? Bro... Come on.

Iron, your look is tight and age appropriate. I'd stick with it. If anything I'd go tighter and darker on the jeans, and maybe go smaller on the shoes, something like this kid's got on:


...but that's just a suggestion. Either way, don't dress like a suburban dad. No offence, Prehistoric.

I need to update my Facebook photo that's like half a year old.

Only picture of me on the computer, moody maybe?
