Lovequest Chris Wants Renee To Help Him With His Modeling Career

[timtommy]

Which I think underlines how, ironically, in a way his high school years were the best for him. As we've seen, he actually did gradually look like he was going to finally mature the fuck up even by just one iota of measurement after the house fire, where suddenly he had to do a LOT of work in supporting two people, moving burnt shit around, and even tried to enjoy attending a social event or two. Now that 14BC is finally back and things unfortunately seem to be going back to normal as before and he doesn't need to do as much against his will? Instant regression. MHS provided Chris with structure, the rules which he could not break, homework assignments he was forced to do (and IIRC he actually did turn in most of them, grades notwithstanding, as proven from Skyraider91's Indiana Jones-ing of the shit pulled out of 14BC post-fire). He had a social life, even if it was a charade of bribes behind his back, and he even was part of a sports team. He certainly had to be reprimanded countless times because he's Chris but above all else, the enforcement of a structured enviroment that he couldn't entirely rebel against that also held places for him to be, was only ever part of his life when he was under the constant supervision of teachers. Superiors who demanded things of Chris that he hated with all his might but had to force himself to do anyway, which he couldn't complain about in the least.

That's why PVCC was more or less a disaster for Chris, as it was still school...but with none of the hand-holding he'd only just started getting at MHS. He still had classes and homework to do, but at all other times he wasn't being shepherded around. He wasn't being told what to do most of the time anymore.

And therein lies one of the biggest problems with Chris: the only way he can actually motivate himself to do something is if he has a concept of that something being absolutely unquestionable as an order from a person he recognizes as superior. For the past year, the only person alive fitting that description anymore is Barb.

I agree completely. To take it even further, the "sub-par" aspects of Chris high-school life were not particularly sub-par for him. Sure his social life wasn't great. But it was all he could handle, and probably the level of social life that made him happiest. He didn't want to be out late at parties and having his phone constantly ringing. That would have seemed oppressive. He wanted some people to smile and chat with him, and then let him go home and play video games.

This is why I think Chris life has a fairly easy fix. If he got a job working 30 hours a week at Walmart or McDonalds, he would get a lot of the same benefits that MHS gave him. Structure, real but not onerous responsibilities, casual social contact, real and doable achievements, a stable link to the real world, maybe a little earned respect. But he is completely unwilling to do it, and as the years go on and he moves further and further down the abyss of weirdness and self-delusion it becomes less possible even if he wants it.

Yup chris you havent had a girl interested in you for 32 years, clearly it isnt your looks so start modeling surely that would send women running to you

OPL...as a model.
Granted, she didn't exactly define what kind of model, but... unrealistic expectations is a bit of an understatement here me thinks. Most models as far as I know represent an aspect of (sometimes perceived) beauty. And I don't want to sound A-Log-y, but I doubt she would be considered even as an example of a "realistic" model.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

My only reaction to this is complete laughter. There is nothing about Chris that is physically appealing.

 

[Thetan]

Carlos Chantor: likely model.

As ridiculous as it was, Carlos Chantor was still Chris's best look IMO.

Rollin' and Trollin' wasn't toooo bad either.

Chris did manage to screw up a T-Shirt and Jeans by wearing his "WANT WOMAN" bra with it.

He managed to mess up the easiest way for a guy to dress.

 

[Lefty's Revenge]

At the risk of sounding white knightish, Chris isn't inherently an ugly person. His life choices have made him more gross every year. During the days of the classic polo shirt I could stare and think it was funny. I can't even bare to look at the screen during the tomgirl saga.

Yeah Chris isn't an ugly man. Some of the females here said he was borderline handsome before the clown shirts and with a little facial hair.

Hes fugly as sin as a woman though.

Quick and easy advice for Ricardo: Anything beginning with "Would you", "will you", "can you" ,"could you", "can I", "sperm", or "egg" will be met with a silent "No."

Chris got fired from Wendy's for scaring a child.

And Chris was unattractive in male presentation. Before Chris gained weight, Chris's features were average, but poor hygiene and fashion choices put Chris's male appeal significantly below average.

In female presentation, "attractive" and "unattractive" just aren't even useful terms. Chris looks bizarre and unpleasant.

As for modeling, those of you who aren't familiar with Lucian Freud's work might want to Google Leigh Bowery, Freud's model and muse. If we could find a modern-day painter as obsessed with the grotesque as Freud was, maybe Chris's modeling career would take off!

He could model adult diapers for those in the "pre-dementia" age bracket.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 

[Ravenor]

This is just a thought, has Chris said he is a model because he has sold a few pictures? Or has he put two an two together and made five, and now thinks that it's possible for him to be a model because he has sold some pictures of himself?

 

[Sovandie]

Are those people also thirsting for small, bent ducks, pasty white acne-blemished skin and thinning straw-like hair?

Beggars can't be choosers.

 

[MrsFrizzle]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

In interpersonal terms, sure. In modeling, less so. Certain types of features photograph better than others. Pasty and blobby is not the key to mainstream modeling success.

 

[Coldgrip]

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Ftfy

Even then I'd have to wonder, is it humanly possible to consume that much liquor and not die of alcohol poisoning?

That is an interesting way of putting it. We all know a lot of people (I myself probably fit into this categoty) who aren't particularly attractive, maybe even "unattractive". But there is nothing unpleasant about their appearance. You wouldn't find looking at a picture of them to be a negative experience. Their appearance wouldn't make you not want to look at them or interact with them. They just don't happen to have physical features which arouse you.

Chris' tomgirl look has transcended that. He is, as you say, unpleasant looking. I think that is pretty rare.

 

[just some jerk]

He may be a true cautionary tale of inner beauty affecting outside appearance. Children take heed, lest you become amongst this creature.



..well that and fast food, not exercising, being stubborn to the point of societal reprobation, mishandled upbringing, 'tism and generally being gross and crazy

Chris wants a modeling career?

I would link People of Walmart, but somebody already did.
