Do men have ugly days? I am just wondering because women often have ugly days. Days when their hair doesn’t work, their skin looks tired and sallow, their outfit is fitting poorly, and they just feel down right frumpy.
I am having such a day. An ugly, ugly day.
First, my pants are too wide and too short. For a woman of short stature like myself, this is a very bad look. Secondly, my shoes are all wrong. The heel is much too high, thus further intensifying the flood-like look of the pants. Thirdly, my complexion is ghostly, not just pale, as if paying tribute to the makeup of the Elizabethan Era. Fourthly, it’s one of those days where I feel like I have constant boogers. When I breathe, there is the sensation that some little crusty is peaking in and out. Horrible!
In an attempt to garner some clarity, I stopped one of my male co-workers and posed the question, "Do men have ugly days?" His answer, which I will record here, was quite enlightening.
"Men don't have ugly days per se, but we do have days where we feel less than confident. Unlike women though, our confidence isn't as much tied to our outfits and our bloated stomachs, but instead tied to our abilities and capabilities. When I'm not performing at my best, that's what I consider an "ugly day." So in essence, an ugly day for a woman is just like a shitty day for a man."
What do you think? Do you have anything to contribute to this deep philosophical discussion?
Sorry Tom We are Terrible! But don't worry I have done some editing.

Who is editing these posts? Last week we had the F-bomb, but at least is was censored. Now we're treated to more profanitiy?! Where are our standards as a society? You want a philosophical discussion? How about the breakdown in our societal and cultural values whereby it has now become accepted and even encouraged to use vulgar language on a daily basis? I am shocked and chagrinned, mortified and stupified at the level to which our discourse has sunken.
But seriously, your co-worker was right about how a bad day for men feels like. And I hate short pants too, just ask Kara.
Men do have Ugly Days just like women. Just ask Tom, he is having an ugly day right now. Thanks for the candid post Christina but I too am shocked at the unfortunate profanity that is being used. However, who is Tom to judge because I noticed the A word on his last post.
Prove it.
