A Guide to Nerd Guys Meeting and Dating Women: Underwear
We’ll start on the inside with underwear. Like I said before, underwear should be worn at all times (unless you are bathing, swimming, or being lucky in other ways, if you know what I mean). Of course, that begats the question, “What kind of underwear?”
Your choices are threefold. Boxer, briefs, and the hybrid boxer/briefs. The choice to make in my opinion is boxers. Briefs and boxer briefs should only be worn by guys who could actually be in an underwear ad. Boxers have any number of reasons to endorse them.
First of all, you don’t have to have a great ass to look good in boxers. You can comfortably take off your pants for whatever reason even in semi public. If the opportunity to hit the hot tube (optimally with a girl) arises they can make a decent swimsuit substitute (note-never actually try to swim in boxers. The chance of showing too much is dangerously high). Boxers tend to be more durable and last longer.
Briefs are just bad karma waiting for a place to happen. You look like either an eight year old or a creepy old man. If you have to take off your pants (caught fire, torn off your leg by dogs, erotic moment with a new girl, etc.) you will feel like a tool. Also, in time most guys come to like the feeling of freedom boxers give them.
The next big question is what color and the answer is any color but white. For reasons I don’t want to even think about white underwear, even when laundered frequently, tends to look dingy and shabby pretty quick, which is just all around gross. Also, if you are subject to certain restroom issues (thankfully nothing I have to deal with) there is no hiding it.
I consider underwear a chance to be creative, and look for funny and weird pairs in dark colors. The thing is if you are with a girl and reach the point that your are taking off your clothes the fact that you are wearing a pair of boxers with Spiderman on them becomes funny and cute rather than nerdy and lame.
Yes, I do have a pair of Spiderman underwear not dissimilar to this shirt from the comic book t shirts.
I also have a pair with cows all over them, a pair of Spongebob Squarepants, an Oscar Meyer Wiener pair, and a pair with “Home of the Whopper” on the front. All good for a laugh. Of course, I have any number of dark blue, black, striped and other color pairs.
Incidentally, underwear also includes undershirts. If you find yourself wearing a dress or buttoned shirt, wearing a t shirt of some kind can make the shirt look better and be more comfortable, as well as extend the life of the shirt and help absorb sweat should you be unfortunate enough to be wearing it in the heat. Just don’t make the mistake I used to make all the time and wear a shirt with something printed on it under your dress shirt. It will show through. Also, if you have to wear a tie for whatever reason do yourself a favor and buy a couple v neck undershirts. Much more comfortable.
