A few months ago my mom saw a long sleeve shirt on sale at JC Pennys and bought it for me because it looks like "what other people wear." The shirt is a generic ripoff of the whole Affliction / Tapout MMA tough guy clothing people are wearing and is the only shirt of that style that I own.
I decided to wear it downtown on Saturday because it was a little bit cold and it yielded some interesting results.
Late into the night, I got a text from a friend asking me to meet up with him at a bar. I walked in and couldn't immediately find my friend, however in the back there was a girl that I know and I went over to say hi. She happens to be very good looking and there were two guys talking to her, each was maybe an inch or two shorter than me (I'm 5'9) and when I walked up she recognized me and asked how I was doing.
Almost immediately the guys who had been talking to her started apologizing to me. One guy said he didn't know we were together and thought he recognized her from an RTF class. I tried to explain to him that we weren't together and that I wasn't trying to do anything (I have a beard right now, guys with beards don't fight people) but he kept apologizing and then both of them walked away.
That's the power of wearing an Affliction shirt.
