BTW: ON BEING A “DANDY”
Before homosexuals took control of mens fashion, there was a social space between what we consider gay, metrosexual, and formal (cary grant), called ‘dandy’.
—Dandy: a man who places particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance in a cult of Self.—
In other words, a non-martial aristocrat.
Jeffrey Tucker is a dandy, I am a bit of a dandy – although much less so in eastern Europe where it attracts female parasites. A lot of us have artistic backgrounds and appreciate beauty.
Unfortunately the gay community has appropriated this space for their own signaling, and made it nearly impossible for straight males to use as signaling. So we have to tone it down a bit.
So those who might criticize tucker merely do not grasp the signaling problems of the highly aesthetic. We all signal our excellences. Taste is an excellent signal. Knowledge is an excellent signal. Discipline is an excellent signal. Manners are an excellent signal. IN fact, they are all excellences. If combined with martial sacrifice, and entrepreneurial success (or at least survival) it is probably the ultimate expression of middle class achievement.
