I live in Portland, OR too and the lumbersexual look is definitely in. That said, I think everyone was already looking like that, it just has a name now.

I can't change the oil in my car.
What the heck does that have to do judging someone's character?[/QUOTE
Oil change has nuthin to do with nuthin. A question that does matter though is....can you change a flat tire?
Nope. And why would I? There are a thousand garages that'll do it for a few bucks all itching to compete for my business.

Hey, my dad was an auto mechanic, and I have a two bay garage with a lift in one bay. But Jiffy Lube disposes of waste oil properly.
I will, however, snatch the wheels off myself and get the rotors turned in a hot minute. But even that is tempered by the fact that I've got several old farm vehicles to drive.
If I had one car that needed repairs I would always default to allowing a shop that's already set properly for it in short order. Allowing my car to sit overnight dysfunctional is a luxury most can't take.
Changing a flat? I think there should be a class required to get out of high school name "life skills" that teaches stuff like that.
Cool, another thread about judging someone simply by their looks.
Have no fear, I won't pull trigger out of the barn on this one.
Thank you sir. I'm kinda like, "who cares" what somebody dresses like and what "they" think about it. I'm a child of the 80's, I didn't dress like my dad and I don't dress like my son. My dad was an upstanding guy and so is my son. I don't know what happened to me though, lol.
I don't think that is what the OP's intention was though. I'm thinking it was meant to be more informational than judgmental and information is fine. Thank you for bringing to our attention what is considered cool these days. By the way, I do notice that my son is wearing a lot of flannel these days.
I agree. I didn't make that statement referring the OP, I just know where these types of threads usually go.
I'm waiting for the sheltersexual trend. Where guys do their damndest to make homeless look good. From the look of things we may not have far to go.
I merely have to not shave for a day, and BAM!, homeless guy look.
I can't stand it. I shave every day.
Needless to say, I'm far outnumbered by the lumberjack look here in Portland. I've started grad school and have noticed that every guy in every one of my classes sports a beard with jeans.

Unfortunately, prejudice tends to live everywhere.
Reddit already has this: https://www.reddit.com/r/HipsterOrHomeless/
12 hours after shaving to 2 weeks makes me look homeless. After two weeks I have a decent beard.
Are you studying at PSU, L&C, or ___? Beard+jean+flannel is petty much the standard look in Portland. If you don't eventually give in to it you'll draw attention to yourself. This may be a good thing. If you need an antidote to all of the over hopped IPAs go down to Bushwacker's Cider and get some proper English, French, Basque, or local cider.
I agree with you there. No professional environment would allow someone that looks like these guys to work for their company. Unless of course they live in Portland, Oregon, where people with multi colored hair, tattoos covering 90% of the body, and more hardware embedded in their faces than the average hardware store keeps in stock working at banks, law firms, medical offices, and high-end department stores. This was a shock for me, and I'm originally from Las Vegas. Portland, truely the land for the weird!When I would enter the office like that, I bet that I would be kicked out within 10 minutes lol!

At least there were no comments this time around about how stubble and/or facial hair makes people look drunk or high. I remember one of these threads awhile back where someone said that anyone sporting an unshaven look had him "instinctively looking for the twitching and bloodshot eyes of a drug addict" or something to that effect.
Why can't we all just get along? What if one of these tattooed, pierced guys saved you from a robbery or called 911 for you when you needed emergency assistance? Or happened to be on the other end of the line as a dispatcher?
B&B...a gentlemanly place indeed!
