[Opinions] Re: Adonis
in reply to a message by )(
It's embarrassingly boastful. Adonis isn't just the name of a mythological character, it's become a synonym for a very handsome young man. It feels like a name a male stripper might give himself. And if an Adonis grows up to be homely, well, everytime anyone who knows their mythology hears him introduced, they'll know the joke even if they don't say anything.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
