1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve Camray. 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to stuff Mom never told you? 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: From House Stu works dot com. Hello, welcome to the podcast. 4 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: This is Molly and I'm Kristin Kristen. A few weeks ago, 5 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: there was a big brew haha about this ad that 6 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: Jay Cruise sent out in their email blast and it 7 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: showed a person who works at Jay Crew, a woman 8 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,919 Speaker 1: with her young son and she said, like a perfect Saturday, 9 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: is hanging out with my son and he likes to 10 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: have his fingernails painted pink. It was it was his 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: tonnails to nails nails were getting pink, and everyone flew 12 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: off the handle. Oh yeah, everyone thought this was insane 13 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: that you know she was gonna I think one person 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: said that she should go ahead and start paying away 15 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: the money for psychotherapy. Now. Yeah. There was one conservative 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: media group that really had a problem with this Jay 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: Crew ad and linked it to like advocating transgender issues. 18 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: It was it was really interesting to see how something 19 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: that small, the image of a woman painting her very 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: young sons ton nails pink, set off such a public outcry. Well, 21 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: you know what we've got ingrained in our society for 22 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: better for worse, as this idea that men don't wear makeup, 23 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: and especially a young boy who couldn't choose whether he 24 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: was going to wear makeup or not shouldn't be wearing makeup. 25 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: So we thought we'd in'bust get a little more of 26 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: this connection between men and makeup. Did they ever wear it? 27 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: Why do they not wear it now? Might they wear 28 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: it in the future? Yeah? If we go way way 29 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: back to the Egyptians, and I feel like we start 30 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: with the Egyptians so often, but of course Egyptian men 31 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: wore makeup. They used the thick eyeliner to ward off 32 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: the evil eye. Roman men also used chalk based foundation 33 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: to brighten up the complexions. And then you have dandy's 34 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: like Louis the fifteen in his court, who where it 35 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: was uh in sad shan to where lots of lead 36 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: based makeup and rouge. And I think that we all 37 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: have an image in this country of the founding fathers 38 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: with their powdered wig, which, while not exactly makeup, shows 39 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: a certain vanity. But all things change with old Ben Franklin. 40 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: And while the American Revolution is going on, says, hey, 41 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: you know what, the people who are wigs, those are 42 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: our enemies. That that's what we left behind. The people 43 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: who are whigs are European, British, French. We're American European dandies, 44 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: and we're American men. We are what will become Marl 45 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: born men. These these ultimate symbols of masculinity. And he 46 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: threw away his powdered wig forever, and with that sparked 47 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: the great masculine Renunciation. Yes, and that term comes courtesy 48 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: of Teresa Riordan, who wrote a great book called Inventing Beauty, 49 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: which has what might be my favorite Martin van Buren 50 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: fun fact. Because there aren't that many Martin van Buren 51 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: fun facts, you've got to share this so when you 52 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: find one, you stick with it. And this is a 53 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: good one, all right. So it's eighteen thirty. Martin van 54 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: Buren is up for his second presidential term, and things 55 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: do not go well when he is the victim of 56 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: a snear attack when old Congressman Charles Ogle from Pennsylvania 57 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: quote accused the president of, among other vices, of feminacy. 58 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: The honorable Mr Ogul then proceeded to reveal the contents 59 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: of President van Buren's dressing table, which included double extract 60 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: of Queen Victoria, Corinthian oil of cream, concentrated Persian Essence, 61 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: and extract of Eglon time overnight. Then Buren became the 62 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: laughing sock of America. In his days of political service, 63 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: there a presidency brought down by face scream can you 64 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: believe it? I can't believe it. You know, we've flipped 65 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: out over you know, a certain presidential Canada pricey haircut. Um. 66 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: So those kind of things do come into scrutiny. So 67 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: the question is that was in eighteen thirty, so it's 68 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: fast forwards now, you know past David Bowie, uh and 69 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: glam rock and all that. Are men still scared of makeup? 70 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: GQ survey from two thousand five, which perhaps things have 71 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: changed radically in the past six years, but their surveys 72 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: is yes, they're terrified of makeup. Yes, Let's say that 73 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: you have to choose between makeup and great sex. What 74 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: do you think of men would pick sex? Well? The 75 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: GQ survey found that men would not wear makeup even 76 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: if it guaranteed them a more fulfilling sex life. They're 77 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: gonna not put on makeup even if they can have 78 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: great sex. But the same survey found that of men 79 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: thought plastic surgery was acceptable, but only fourteen percent would 80 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: consider using makeup for the same salary increase. So men 81 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: would rather go in with a knife than get paid 82 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: to put some makeup on. So clearly, what we've got 83 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: here from this survey of ad mainly not maybe the 84 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: most representative population of men, is that makeup is a 85 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: no go, you know, not even for good sex. They'd 86 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: rather have surgery than wear it. And this might be 87 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: more of an American thing because European retailers have had 88 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: more success selling men's cosmetics, and also um lines in 89 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: Asia have also taken off, so this could be an 90 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: American dude thing that we can all blame on Ben Franklin. 91 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: But all the same, some researchers are finding that maybe 92 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: men are the next great untapped makeup market because they 93 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: probably are the only people who aren't tapped yet. Um 94 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: And according to a New York Times two thousand ten article, 95 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: American consumers spent four point eight billion on men's screaming 96 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: products in two thousand nine. Now that's nowhere close to 97 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: what women spend. Um. Yeah, nowhere close. We're not saying 98 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: that all men are putting on the guyliner and the 99 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: man's gara. But people are thinking if they start emphasizing 100 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: that uh, cosmetics, you would never call it makeup when 101 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: talking to a man. Cosnives can help men cover up flaws, 102 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: whereas they sell makeup to women as a way to 103 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: enhance beauty. So I think it would be really interesting 104 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: kind of keep an eye on this and see if that, 105 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: you know, double way of selling makeup might work. And 106 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: different brands have played around with ways to make the 107 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: idea of makeup more palatable to the male. Ear. You 108 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: mentioned enhancement. Some uh, some products will be labeled enhancement 109 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: products for guys, whereas it's actually just kind of makeup. 110 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: There's also men's aesthetic enhancement, complexion enhancers, uh, and then 111 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: instant skin enhancement. It's all about enhancing and focusing on 112 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: things like covering up razor burn and just improving their skincare. 113 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: And really, when it comes to men's grooming products at 114 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: four point eight billion dollars that you're talking about, a 115 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: lot of it is skincare, which would be on shaving 116 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: products like facial cleansers, moisturizers and exfolience. So there's still 117 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: not necessarily buying tons of tubes of lipstick or blush 118 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: or things like that, but dudes are definitely paying more 119 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 1: attention to their faces. Yeah. I mean, you gotta wonder, 120 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: is it how how far a way of visit to 121 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,559 Speaker 1: go to go from buying some I cream to buying 122 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: some mascara and make your eyes pop? Well, it seems 123 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: like the most traditional type of cosmetic. Like when I 124 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: think of makeup, you know, I think of foundation and 125 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: blush and things like that. It seems like concealer is 126 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: very popular to men. There were, you know, anecdotal stories 127 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: in the New York Times and other places that would 128 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: talk about the masculine husbands do you and consumer from 129 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: his wife? And you know the thing that we can't answer. 130 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: I mean, we can sort of speculate on American notions 131 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: and masculinity and the like, But for the guys out there, 132 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: would you ever wear it? And for everyone else, would 133 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: you want to date or marry a guy who spent 134 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: a lot of time putting on his face as the 135 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: ladies are known to do. I mean, that's sort of 136 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: the thing that a lot of these manufacturers are trying 137 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: to step lightly over this idea that men don't wear makeup. 138 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: But at the same time, there's a lot of money 139 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: to made there if some guy finds an eyeliner that 140 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: he loves. And I do think that it's become a 141 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: lot more culturally acceptable for men to demonstrate a little 142 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: more vanity than they would have in the past, back 143 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: in the days of the you know, the rugged Marlboro man. 144 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: You know, he wouldn't the probo man wouldn't, you know, 145 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 1: wouldn't he's an exfoliant. No, but yeah there, But um, 146 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: you know, we've talked before about how looking good in 147 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: the office can get you paid more, and we've all 148 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 1: been to bars where it's sort of a meat market. 149 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: So perhaps there's a little bit of equality coming into 150 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: play where just as much, um, just as many men 151 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: are spending time worrying about how they look as women 152 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: have been known to do in the past. And one 153 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: guy theorized that maybe this rise in male vanity is 154 00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: linked to their loss of economic authority with the recession. Um. 155 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: He was saying that quote, the ascent of technology has 156 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: eroded traditional markers and masculinity, and now you know, men 157 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: typically don't have to perform physical labor, nor are they 158 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: the sole breadwinners. So it's now shifted I guess, to 159 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: these more superficial aspects of their appearance and making it 160 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: allowing them to uh to pay more attention to their skin. 161 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: And also we got to talk about plastic surgery. We 162 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: do because you know, I cited that thing from the 163 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: g Q survey that men would rather have cosmetic surgery 164 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: than wear makeup. I mean, if something's got to be fixed, 165 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: if some eyes are getting roopy, you're not going to 166 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: waste time with the creams and the lotions. And there's 167 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: a very um small bump that might bear out that statistic. 168 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: Again it's not anything like women in plastic surgery. But 169 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: in March two thousand eleven, it was reported that overall 170 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: cosmetic surgery procedures and men, so that includes both surgical 171 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: and just minimally invasive procedures, rose two percent in two 172 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: ten over the previous years. So you know, a small 173 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: percentage of men are in their getting their facelifts, some 174 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: bow talk, some lie bo suction, nose reshaping. Um, you know, 175 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: it's it's certainly not I do think we'll see a 176 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: lot more marketing and coming years geared towards men and 177 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: not just towards women. Yeah, even though women still get 178 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: of the cosmetic procedures, um, men's cosmetic procedures are absolutely 179 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: on the rise. And just for fun, you mentioned nose 180 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: reshaping that is the most popular surgical procedure by number 181 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: for men in two thousand five and number four breast production. 182 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: Yeah for men, Well, everyone's worried about their weight. So again, 183 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: it's not something that can definitively say whether makeup is 184 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: coming back, whether it's not. But the thing I'll be 185 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: interested in hearing, either on Facebook or on Twitter or 186 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,359 Speaker 1: by email, is what you guys would do when confronted 187 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: with a man wearing makeup? Would you respect him more, 188 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: respect him less? Would you notice? Would you think it 189 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: looked good? Would you think it looked awful? Just you know, 190 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: it is our society ready for men in makeup? Or 191 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: is it? Or we too tied up in sort of 192 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: our traditional ideas of what masculinity is in this country, 193 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: masculinity and beauty. You know, does duty require makeup? Should 194 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: women wear less and you know, meet the men? Or 195 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: should men start wearing more and meet up with the 196 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: women's bascinating stuff? So we we turned over to you 197 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: guys to answer that question, and in the meantime we 198 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: shall read some listener emails. I have one here from 199 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: Kathy about the Love at First Sight podcast, and um, 200 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: I really love this story because it involves tacos, So 201 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: here we go. Kathy writes, I definitely experienced love at 202 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: first sight with my current boyfriend. Unfortunately, I was eating 203 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: a giant taco at the time he came into my 204 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: field of vision, so introducing myself right then didn't seem 205 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: like the sexiest move. Side note to some people, giant 206 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: tacos are huge, huge appealing factor. Inside note. He was 207 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: friends with other friends of mine, and I was lucky 208 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 1: enough to run into him again later that day and 209 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: outdoor Fourth of July Film Festival. I had gone home 210 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: and found love a little dress and refreshed my makeups. 211 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: That was game time. We were all standing around in 212 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: a group, and when our eyes met and introduced myself, 213 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: he said, let's go get a better seat and took 214 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: my hand and pulled me away from our friends and 215 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: through the crowd while fireworks burst overhead. How romantic. We 216 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: sat down and I accidentally bumped my knee on an 217 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: old set of railroad tracks that were in the back 218 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: lot where we were watching the movie, and it hurt 219 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: pretty badly. Nice thing though, is that that venue host 220 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: sweatings as well, and those very train tracks are what 221 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: they use as the aisle. Well. I have a love 222 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: at first sight story here from Eric, and it is brief, 223 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: but yes, very sweet. I saw a girl in engineering 224 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: class and the thought flashed in my head she looks cool. 225 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: I could marry that chick. The second thought was what 226 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: a stupid thought that was? Where did that come from? 227 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: So after meeting in class, I asked her to a 228 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: craft fair.
