Guys are like sweaters….

So the girls and I were out last night and started chatting and I remembered a few years ago talking with my friend Linda about men.  (I know, big shock)  I had determined that we could equate some men to clothing, specifically sweaters!  It’s kinda like sometimes, no matter how cute the sweater is, it just doesn’t fit. 

I’m  a v neck sweater girl, preferably in cashmere.  It’s not that I hate crew necks, or turtle necks or cowl necks for that matter.  Just if all of those types of sweaters are in front of me, I tend to gravitate to the v neck in a softer knit. 

Guys tend to be like sweaters, no matter how cute they are, sometimes they are the wrong style for the girl.  It could be they are to turtley (yes it’s a made up word).  Meaning they usually like to strangle (not literally) and smother you and are over possessive. 

Maybe they are too much like a cowl neck, you know, a little sloppy, never quite fits in.  This sweater and guy always wants to look polished, but just misses the mark a bit.  How about the guy who is like a crew neck?  Very proper, always polite, but it’s hard to accessorize correctly.  I’m always thinking pearls, cause the really funky necklace just looks out of place. 

V neck sweaters work for me.  They don’t fit too tight around my neck, I can put a cute necklace on if I like (or my favorite sweater which is nicknamed the “magic sweater”, it’s a really deep v so I accessorize with my cleavage).  The v neck can also fit pretty much every occasion. 

Now, equating this to men, I like a guy who is not too clingy, can get dressed up or down depending on the occasion and isn’t too stuffy or proper.  Yep, that’s my man! 

Now, what about giving your sweater (guy) to a friend??  Well my girlfriend and I determined that is totally acceptable as long as the tags haven’t been removed.  Meaning, if you have slept with him he can’t be returned or exchanged or given away.  If the tags are still on and you think the sweater (guy) would fit one of your pals better, feel free to give it/him to her!  Maybe my friend would love to wear a turtle neck!
