The Many Faces Of Men
4.22.09
Actually, I only want to discuss two faces. Primarily because most living, breathing, heterosexual males (read: not these types who don't care to play NOR watch ANY sports). If you are offended by my saying that. GOOD.
Face #1
The "DAMN! LOOK AT THAT ASS!!!" Face.
The guys reading this are already nodding slowly in agreement. They know it well. It is a mixture of angst, pleasure, disgust, anger and other strong emotions. Basically, it is the same face one makes when they smell a particularly rancid fart, baby diapers or imbibe some bitter beer. It is a twisted mangled mess. Take a look: http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/ss48/esquire212/?action=view¤t=2.jpg.
Face #2
The "YOOOO DID YOU SEE THAT NASTY DUNK?!" Face.
Frequently seen while watching highlights of Josh Smith, Dwight Howard, Rudy Gay or Shawn Kemp (in his Seattle days). The same face. The same contortions. The one difference: it seems that it is exclusive and endemic to the Black Male Species. It goes like this: http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/ss48/esquire212/?action=view¤t=2-1.jpg.
The thing about these faces is that women know what they are in reaction to (given the respective scenarios). Dead giveaways.
Admit it. You either smiled or nodded or both at this post.

I have made the yo did you see that nasty dunk face, but I am white.. what does this mean? Do you think I only do it around my black friends, to fit in?
ReplyDeleteI think you're good here, Sman. It's like sickle cell, a lot of blacks get it.. but it could happen.
