He always dresses up like he's in the movie born on the fourth of July. I think he's against war, but he dresses like he just got back from one. Why?

    LOVE that military jacket look! short-haired Eddie? Not cool.

    Edit: You know what? I'm going to go ahead and edit this. Why should I care what he looks like. As long as he and his band give us awesome music, who the fuck cares if his hair is short or not.

    good catch on the edit. lol

    btw to the OP, what wrong with looking like a vietnam vet?
    Peace, Love.

    I wouldnt care if he looked like Gollum. Its the voice that is great, its the lyrics, its the power and the energy of the band.

    I personally love Eddie (as most of us hear on this board do), I like what Eddie represents - in his appearance, in his "rants" and most importantly -in Pearl Jam music!

    Not sure about the money, but you would definitely live in an awesome fucking apartment in a very desirable neighborhood!

    Eh...I wouldn't want to "live-in". They might think it was unacceptable that their precious nanny drinks wine every night and rocks out to liberal music. Besides, how would I ever explain spending the night at my boyfriend's house?! :D

    You need to refine your notion of short people with facial hair. One has a moustache, the other has a moustache and a beard. One is a scientologist, the other is er, not.

    I agree about the army surplus and the long hair, but apart from that, er, er, er, what?

    Yes, even if the kid doesn't belong to him. A man with a baby sends out a message to women that this is the kind of man you want--one who'd eventually take your own kid out on a stroll. Let's face it--the kind of man most women are most attracted to is the fatherly type.

    My husband, an attractive man, didn't need to mention how having a baby made him wildly attractive to other women. I mean you could not put this in a bottle--but, if you could, you'd be so rich Bill Gates would look like a pauper. When we'd go shopping together, women of every age and description would flock to him. I'm glad he's not the type to stray easily. A lot of the, "How cute!" comments were not directed at the baby!

    So men, this is your secret weapon. The kicker, though, is you honestly have to like kids and likely be prepared to follow through on being "the fatherly type." ;)
