Man, I'm so glad I discovered "just shaving my neck".
Like, I like having a beard, y'know, most of the time, but it get unruly and I look gross. But when it's like mostly just stubbly, if I just shave the neck, it improves like tenfold.
I hop right from people thinking "Oh, yeah, there's a nasty fella who probably hasn't shaved in four weeks, or seen a lady nipple in at least twelve. Let's leave him alone and allow him to roll about in the puddle of filth he calls his life."
Right into: "Wow, check that guy out. He's solid. He's put together. He looks like an artist in the know, someone who's going places, with a creative mind that could shatter buildings. Let's catch up with him; I'm making a Star Trek fan film, and I think he'd make a perfect Captain Kirk."
And then I'd be like "Scotty or nothing, punks!" and smack the coffee out of his hands, and then I'd steal his girlfriend.
