Do some girls in Tsinghua really have appalling tastes?

A few years back I was sorry that too few girls wore their beautiful dresses and skirts when the weather was all so lovely. Now I am sorry that we’ve got too much fine weather these days and there are too many mini skirts walking about.

Not that I have a problem with mini skirts and pretty thighs. I am not gay and I like girls with little clothes on just as much as the average adolescent kid you meet. Then why should I complain?

Because there is a certain thing called taste. And apparently some girls nowadays really have terrible tastes. They choose to wear these clothes which I really find it hard to admire. A lot of flesh and yet not a bit sexy. Just bad, bad in a dirty, dirty way.

Ah quit whining, I hear you cry out. I know, I know, I’m being overly critical– but why is it then, in striking contrast, that the pretty girls always seem to know what to wear?

You could say that ppmms are always pretty, regardless of what they wear, or not wear, for that case. But that’s only half the argument. Yes a pretty face do speak more than a thousand mini skirts. But perhaps it has something to do with taste– because of their beauty, they’ve always been more aware of their appearance (as people like looking at them), and thus have generally formed a better understanding of what to wear. Or in short, better taste in dressing.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, only a few people on this little planet are able to be called beautiful. For the ordinary mass public, we seem to be on the same starting line.We can’t change our looks, but we can change how we look. Don’t forget that clothes make the man. And the woman, too, if not more so, if I may add.

So the dear girls who like to wear weird colored skirts which show a lot of flesh (to go with awful looking T-shirts or sweaters and fancy boots), please remember you’re still in Tsinghua. Diversity is good, but not this kind. You look more like a girl from the street than a girl with real intelligence and inner beauty. For your own sake, and for my eyes’ sake too, do change into something more student-like.

Ah I know I am old school. Can’t help it.

Or maybe it is just me…
