And so begins a journey of self discovery

for the first 20 years of my life, I never was convinced of my manliness. I was a quite and softspoken, small built boy with very little social skills or confidence. This was an ok lifestyle for me, but I never found it very fullfilling

by chance I picked up 'Classic Skills and Manners for the Modern Man' and discovered that the idea of manliness that I have been raised with was not the way a true man should behave. Curious, I read the book like a bible and that's how I found out about this wonderful place.

I'll start with an introduction of myself

I'm a British man living in the United Kingdom. I'm known for being slightly camp and jovial. I'm mostly just up for a laugh, since I think a lot of people take life too seriously to enjoy things. I enjoy art, from painting and sculpting, to architecture and arts of performance and music. I'm a martial arts enthusiast hopefully someday I will be a competant enough practitioner to teach others.

I'm a comic book collector, mostly of lesser known series, and I'm training to be an animator and storyboard artist at University on an Animation course. I'm a creative write in my spare time. I have a series of novels planned out that explore religious mythology in a sci-fi fantasy apocalyptic world with twists on the old texts. Hopefully someday I will be a published author.

that's all for now on myself. I am open to talk to anyone so don't be a stranger with me

cheers

Joseph

Great intro, Joseph.  You sound pretty well rounded and confident in who you are and what you want.  Keep moving forward and discovering new and exciting things about yourself and the world around you.  Can't wait to see your published books and see your name in the credits of a great movie someday!

Mix and match vests

I have two vests, a lighter grey one and a darker grey one.  Is it ok to mix and match these vests with a pair of grey slacks that dont quite match either one?  Additionally, can I mix and match either of these with black slacks?See More
