City Prepping first

City Prepping I'm not sure if I consider it a good thing, or a bad thing I've inadvertently been a "gray man" my entire adult life; not even knowing what that was until I found your video.😂
This is a survival skill. Selling crap.
Me and my fellow Gray Men had a Gray Pride parade. Nobody noticed.

"Blend in so much that no one even remember seeing you." I've been a Grey Man my entire life and didn't even know it.
You've been training your entire life.
BECOME THE GREY MAN.
Remember My Face
I shall remember that face...

YAZEED ABUSULTAN ...Yeah, I think that was one of those subtleties of English that really only work with native speakers...
When you grow up with abusive parents you learn to become a grey man real fast
🥺
Yeah, it’s a sad fact that I agree and can relate too.
My mother was the reason I took up karate at age 12. I would have done sooner but there was no club nearby. Fifty years on, four different styles, I am faster now than I was as an 18 year old. 90% of military in the UK comprises of people just like me and you. I was lucky though, I joined the reservists as a medic (ITU nurse) with the 🇬🇧Paras. As a consequence of my life, I have no family to tie me down. Money in the bank and a freedom to do as I please, within the law of course. I have adhered to the Grey Man Principle all of my life.
That’s a true fact! 😞
LOL exactly, this person knows whereof he speaks! I couldn't be gray enough to suit my stepdad.
I dress like I'm homeless.
People look right through me.
Baggy, mismatched clothing and looking disheveled comes natural to me now.
😭😭
You'd be the first person I'd be looking at. I'd probably be thinking, "This MFer's gonna ask me for change, isn't he?".
I do it too avoid cops, it works. No jokes
@@ZedF86 hahaha
Bring a mug with you. You can make a fortune.
The first rule is stay off social media.
Patrick S
yeah Patric star we all know u live in bikini bottom now. 😂
Nah. Just don’t put much of interest on there. I have a presence - mostly so that an employer search of my name turns up something - of the occasional photo of that I’ve taken. Nothing controversial. Nothing to make people think that I’m anything other than a 40-something geek.
Assuming there's social media in a SHTF scenario
Everyone knows the first rule is NO TALKING ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!!!
I disagree with that because social media is a source of information; good/bad. I post nothing personal on the sites. More watching than commenting on FB for example.
Be unattractive and look poor. No one will look at you.
Eethan O'Connell but not too unattractive, then everyone will look at you
Dark Jesus
Yeah, unattractive doesn't mean hideous. ;)
Exactly, last year I wore normal clothes and had a six pack. I got a lot of attention from both women and men, drunk men tended to be very aggressive toward me. Since I've got fatter, grown a scraggly beard and shit hair and some of my clothes have holes, in people ignore me like I have the plague. They think I'm homeless which is the way to go for avoiding attention.
As a unattractive poor person i must say the cops do look at you
i always dress "homeless" so people won't bother me, works well. don't mean dirty/smelly, just broke and sloppy.
When I started prepping I was more into tactical learning over the years I have learned the best way to win a conflict would be to not become a target to begin with. Blending is absolutely key.
Wise.

We did this in my psych class once. I stood in front of the class talking about a subject and explaining stuff. Afterward, I left the room. Then we told students to turn over their packet and begin answering questions. Problem was, all the questions were about me. It was fascinating after doing this twice and researching the stats of just what they remembered about me! Can u tell, I loved my psych classes?!! People don’t remember a thing when u dress to blend. Only half remembered I wore glasses, no one noticed I was wearing a college hoodie (because everyone wore them) and not one person could remember anything about my shoes.
If someone has a pick on you specifically, they'll remember you always.
Were you the instructor? 🤣
@@deborahturner1853 haven’t u been to college? Psych prof’s give extra credit for that kind of stuff. It’s just 101 stuff

I learned the Gray man-thing early in life. My mom once made my bed with me still in it.
I see what you did there 😉
You can do "stand-up" if you are looking for work!!! hahaha! yes....a good "un!"

Lol omg umm if someone was to come with in 40 feet of me i would be up and gone quietly and undetected

I’m a tall blonde woman. It’s not easy to “blend in”. But thanks to the points in this video, I have bought some deliberately unfitted neutral camping/hiking type clothes and a plain baseball cap.

Munguard then why are you here?
Munguard well done.
Okay, the purpose of this video is steps to not draw attention to yourself especially if in a civil unrest.
Good thing i already know how to blend in
are you Estonian?
As a city dweller, I find myself needing to do the grey man most when I'm walking late at night back home, through rough areas. I sometimes pass by weirdos, junkies, thugs etc. who maybe stare at me and maybe even size me up in their minds. I don't make eye contact, I walk moderately fast and with purpose like I know where I'm going, even if I don't. I also keep a slightly pissed off look on my face and act slightly intoxicated and/or crazy/rough, but in a very subtle way. I especially do this if I feel like I'm being watched or followed - I don't look like an immediate threat, but I look like someone undesirable that nobody wants to interact with. In short, I try to subtly blend in with the weirdos, if I think I'm surrounded by weirdos.
That's pretty good but one thing I would recommend is making eye contact because looking down or breaking eye contact First is submissive so to speak but if you look at them and don't break eye contact you look confident like an alpha
After 7 different elementary schools and 3 high schools I learned from an early age to blend in. It’s all about mirror and echo.
Sound like me growing lol. Did 3 schools in 1st grade alone.
Yup, 13 schools for me
Still on school and I've been to 9
Alex , I traveled a lot in construction. Always went to local Thrift Store and bought local "Type" of clothing. Worked well.
You guys actually went to school, congrats

We INFJ's are very good at doing this - One of my friends labeled me a long time ago a 'moving target'...it's helped me to survive a lot of crazy scenarios! Funny b/c I also have been a 'stand out' a lot for certain other unique or specific qualities but if I need to go 'ingognito', I am super good at that. It's a great survival skill. Unfortunately, so many ppl don't know how to just 'blend in' in this clever way b/c they let fear mess them up, just like we see now w/ this Covid crisis. Too many ppl running over top of ea other to buy toilet paper! How pathetic that this happens!
Lol that's the audience I'm tryna learn
You can also run the risk of looking so "invisible" that you become "visible". Nobody in any environment is completely bland in appearance. There is always something that separates them out. It could be an NFL jersey with a specific number, a yellow jacket, a red hat, or even a veteran's jacket. These things don't necessarily draw undue attention, and in fact look like normal attire in most locations in the central part of the country.
I've been a gray man my whole life. I go anywhere, fit in anywhere, and no one ever remembers me being there. True story.

We learned the gray man concept decades ago when I was going through military intelligence training school. They stressed that a good HUMINT agent does NOT look and act like James Bond. Strutting around in a Monaco casino in a tuxedo and driving hot sports cars just draws attention to you. We were taught that you strive to be inconspicuous to the point that you become psychologically invisible. You can pass someone in a store or on the sidewalk and two seconds later they could not give your description if their life depended on it. "Describe the man? WHAT man?" That is a true gray man.
I found that I'm practically invisible on rainy cold winter days Wearing dull blue gray or dark color hoodie and jeans. I call it Structural blue Especially when standing next to urban infastructute like a piece of Seel I beam or near a train tracks I actually become part of the infastructute.
That's how I can Spot a CIA agent or anyone doing surveillance , just look for a middle age man in dreary clothes trying not to look conspicuous
psychologically invisible was originally a Ninja tactic..their Best one imho.
😫”AWWW CRAP”, And I was SO PSYCHED about putting on my new TUX🤵🏻♂️ and asking my mom to drive me over to the car dealer to buy that ASTON MARTIN ☹️!!! Does this mean I shouldn’t carry my WALTHER PPK to the grocery store😳❓ 😂
Exactly!
I learned the hard way that wearing pants is very helpful when trying to blend in. I try to remember to wear them now.
LOL! Reminds me of some Texan who hearing the explosion, ran outside in his gaping open boxers. Nothing else. When his wife approached he pushed her back in the house yelling "get back in..." . She then locked the door giving a new meaning to the S&G song "In the clearing stands a boxer, a fighter by his trade".
Being a grey man isn’t about blending in. It’s about convincing people around you to believe what you are portraying to be.
Yeah good point
Someone came here from Bone Tactical
@Phillip Delgado ..lol..ikr..*High5's*....cos ya beat me to it.
Going to reverse engineer this video to engage in more social interactions, thanks.
+Caleb Sherman don't do it! ;)
Caleb Sherman genius!
Caleb Sherman please tell me if you find how to do that.
Yogeshwaran it's not hard to figure out. Take what he says in the video and do the opposite. Instead of trying to be unnoticeable be more flamboyant. Wear bright colored clothing or goofy knee high socks.
Caleb Sherman remember to smell bad

Well, yeah
@Jayne Ledger Yep so the aliens won't spot us.
Happy new year 🎊🎉🍾😂😂
the west right now is actually really similar to how the romans were before their society fell apart
The main thing I'm wearing right now that looks conspicuous is my tinfoil hat. Should I... take it off?
Paul Little Never.
Paul Little I never take mine off, the lizards that run the government would brainwash me.
This is the best thing I've ever seen. Thank you.

It's hard not to appear threatening when you're a 6`5 hefty built man. I've always have had a problem not appearing as a threat but,it also helps with confrontations and makes people not want to engage in combat with me lol.

As a Gringo in Brazil, I knew I was doing it correctly when locals would stop me and ask me for directions. I do speak Portuguese with an English speaker accent, so I was done when I engaged verbally.
I'm a redhead. Its impossible to blend in
I'm a redhead WITH green eyes. Yup, I can EASILY blend anywhere I go.
Mark Hutchins Baseball cap, I have long curly hair, so I can't blend in, but a hat is the best way.

+Baeta you know why :)

Do I know why?
damn that got alot of likes quick wth
Baeta for terrorists or trump
Avoiding waving or eye contact can also be situational/environmental. I grew up in a small town. Everyone waves as vehicles passed or when passing as one walked past one the street. If you didn't wave - free other person would NOTICE you and wonder why you were being so rude!
In a city /congested area nodding / waving definitely attracts attention!
Yup. My family are hillbillies in the NC/Ga area. If you are driving a sedan, or fail to have a gun rack on ur pick up, or have a Republican sticker.... you will stand out.
I'm an introvert, And I perfected this skill, I use it to escape situations I dont want
Are you sure. I have a challenge for you. Do it with red hair. Exposed. It is another tier of training.
"Don't be intimidating"
I'm 6'7"
Weird flex but ok
Your taller than everyone else you'll stand out regardless
🤣
Yes, at 6'5 I don't grey out so well
Don't be un-intimidating. I'm 2'4"
how do I come out to my parents as gray?
That's funny!
I think you just act normal and do nothing notable.
Glance at them without making eye contact, say nothing, then go about your day
Well played Sir !
"I think my son might be gray." - Dad.

@@peekyoin8347 Not really. Try going on a date and telling her you dont use facebook, twitter, etc. Youll stand out instantly.
Mate..i'm 2 meters tall .
kinda impossible for me not to get noticed . i look like a bear
nah man i'm two meters too and I do anage to be gray
height has nothing to do with charisma / presence
Daniel Patrascanu I'm 6 foot but I don't draw much attention. I don't wear flashy stuff and I don't talk much to other people. I try to be as not noticeable as possible.
Trigger Fist I guess tall people are calm people...
especially since we attract attention by doing basically nothing we kinda have to be calm if we wanna be at peace
+Trigger Fist I had to google what 6foot is in meters hehe .
well..you're still only a little bit taller than average(at least in my country)so i guess you don't draw attention. I mean,nobody is telling me anything except old people that ask me what sport i practice/pracited or if im in the military because i still wear my dog tags.But the moment i enter a room,i draw attention by my size(i guess i forgot to mention the fact that i also have a weight of 103kilograms) and i use a hair style that i close to baldness(military "style") because i got used to it and also the fact that i have curly blonde hair wich draws attention..
+Siriusql Belmont Haha ! it's great to meet someone as tall as i am :D yeah indeed..we are calm people :) "gentle giants" and i'm glad that you don't draw attention..i hope that i will soon pe capable of doing that
P.S I also forgot to mention the fact that i have arm tattoos..i guess they're a big factor in drawing attention..still,i wear long sleeve shirts and i still manage to atract attention
Daniel Patrascanu Where are you from? Your name seems romanian
He's teaching the elites how to get away from our retribution. Get him! :P
ha :)
What elites, where did they go and who are they? Everybody seems to see them except me. Drat.
Any person who has a lot of influence power and generally views themselves way above the general populace as well as the law, that's what people mean when they reffer to them.
NathanJ Rodey
And you know this by having influence and power I suppose? Do you know how stupid you sound parroting things you were told as "truth" by people who have never been that either. The truth is most people who believe that want to believe there is an "elite" conspiring to "keep them down" and whose actions are negatively impacting their lives so they can avoid taking responsibility for making bad choices thinking they would get them somewhere that the path they were on never went. Work 40 hours a week. 50 weeks a year, for somebody else and you will end up living on not enough money but will make them rich. It's an old proverb, "Nobody ever got rich working for somebody else." My family quoted the to me for over 40 years and I didn't listen until it was too late. Don't be a fool like i was. You might not get rich owning the business, but every rich person I know and have ever heard of go rich by owning their own business. Do you get it now? They don't teach that in schools either. They say, "Get a good education and get a good job." but they are teachers working for the government, and that is all they know about. Come to think of it, most of my teachers in school, all the way trough college, were liberals who support and work for creating a elitist government. I don't buy it, it violates Occam's razor and everything else I know about people and government.
TL/DR #PizzaGate wake the fuck up, moron. Do your research before spouting garbage like I have, for YEARS. Capitalism allows corruption and I need not say anything more.
Grayman: Yes nobody notices me.
People: Look at that mysterious individual.
After being alone for so long in school and not having friends ive become a "gray man" ive always been like this and ive just never known how to describe this thank you
i was a gray man in high school 😢
#EastsideSoulja lmfao
be lucky. cause i wasn't and i got teased and bullied a lot.
#EastsideSoulja same
I would wear a shirt with a huge middle finger on it...
#EastsideSoulja why u using a crying emoji that's a good thing
You're in Southern California so of course an American flag on your hat is going to stand out.
As well as a Trump hat.
doublestack2k i were mine in costs mesa and no one says anything
ah shit i usually wear my cap with an eagle and us flag lmao now i know why so many people stare at me
"You're in Southern California so of course an American flag on your hat is going to stand out." That was his point.
fake patriots are the worst kinds of people. the fake patriots are the ones wearing the flag
I just discovered this channel and I find it very helpful and not panic-inducing. Most of this stuff is just life (I'm from the poorer kind of Europe) but it suits very well to analyse and think things through. In a way, it even makes me act kinder and more generous to other people, because death is an inevitable reality but suffering can be avoided in some cases.. It makes me think what is important to me and what I truly stand for, what are my weak spots and how to avoid getting tricked by my own mental weakness. Helpfulness is not a weakness, but greed and cruelty definitely are.
My dad told me almost the same when i joined the army 40 yrs ago
I’m good at being “invisible”. Spent most of my life this way.
Same here I just don’t see a reason to be noticed.
@@LakituKoopa My advice,
Do not show emotional attachment towards people in public-> it's a stimulus that can linger a long time.
In a group, just go with the flow and anticipate what direction the group is going.-> yell out what the vast majority yells out.
Act busy in silence, so people won't bother you, like walking with your phone in hand.
Walk in random patterns, mimicking the people around you.
Other good advice, and I am not kidding, watch the Bourne movies, especially the first 2.
Did someone just say something?!?! Hmm
Love the nsme
Like Harry Houidini? Now you see him now you don't!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."

I use this concept when I am traveling abroad. I don't want to be marked as an American, so I try to blend in. Of course, this results in locals asking me for directions.

Avoid tactical or combat boots. Wear work boots.
Can i wear my vest though??
it depends on the situation
The neon green one with orange stripes? Side objective: go unnoticed as a construction worker!
sn0m0ns then definitely wear tan Timberland boots. Not brand new looking either. A construction worker would alsso have a scuffed hard hat.

Become a middle aged woman and find out how invisible you can be. Being 5 foot tall also helps. I have been crashed into by many people. I guess it’s finally an asset.

Don't try getting help at the customer service desk.
one of the tips here really woke me up, im always boasting about my prep supplies to my housemates but I realised that in a shtf scenario if im not at home they might actually steal my supplies and threaten to attack me with weapons if I try to get them back, from now on I will try and not appear as a prepper even when talking to trusted people because I don't want to risk having my prep gear stolen
Good idea because when SHTF no one can be trusted.
When I was a teenager I used to tell everyone about my funs supplies etc. Now everyone wants to come to my house when shtf and that was many many years ago
@@BloodyKnives66 i since read an article describing some natural disasters in america and apparently everyon turned on the preppers and demanded their supplies and some would even try and rob them, also even the authorities were apparently harassing preppers who didn't want to leave their homes despite being totally fine

GOOD EXERCISE YOUNG TROOPER.
GREAT INFO
SEMPER FI
Love this. All I have to contribute is, I'm a model and a performer, and I dress very dramatically. I always wear a hat, my shoes click noisily when I walk, you can't miss me in black and red and you always know exactly where I am.
Then just to blow people's minds I appear in public in plain black and gray. Total invisibility. To go from turning heads and cameras in Manhattan to vanishing entirely is very comfortable and refreshing. People who know me look at me two or three times like their minds are blown. Where's your hat? Where's your lavish longcoat? No suit? No heelboots? No RED?
Nope. When SHTF, nobody's gonna see me. They're going to be looking for a man in two trench coats, a vest, a pocket watch, usually a cowboy hat or fedora, and red cuban heels. Not this hoodied stoner schlub.
Another observation. One morning I went to the doctor. I felt like a schlub, so I dressed like a schlub, acted like a schlub, got treated like a schlub, went home, took a nap, got up, dressed like a prince, felt like a prince, acted like a prince, and got treated like a prince. They probably thought I was two different guys. But the first one, the schlub, if anyone remembers him, they remember him dismissively...what a scumbag, get him outta here. I've heard of people avoiding contact by dressing/acting 'off' or gross so people may notice them, but do anything to avoid them. Look ugly. Nobody wants to look at someone ugly. Cut your hair around a bowl, wear ratty clothes, stained shoes, the works. I think there's no such thing as a beautiful young and attractive Gray Wo/man.
There are also whole classes of people society ignores, depending on the setting. Nobody notices roadworkers, homeless people, servants, the elderly. There are places you can easily 'be nobody.'
Why is this in my recommended.
GaMiNg GuY lol
you have been chosen. now take it in hand
Your mission, should you accept......
City Snake i see what you did there XD
I wondered the same thing
1. Be a mix of black and white
2.???
3. Profit
Being a gray man in a critical situation also gives you another advantage : the element of surprise if you need it because focus will be on others who look more likely to be a problem to those who want to reek havoc.
when you make eye contact with someone on accident, just make it looks like you're scanning the area and don't care about them. don't look down at that moment either, I believe it can avoid trouble with the wrong people. Just a theory, I haven't tested it
Tutorial unclear ended up in jail for looking like a local serial killer
oops
Lol.
Dovahkiinwerewolf's channel I used to be a cray man like you dovvahkiin until i took a arrow in the knee
City Prepping 3:12 so that's why I respond when hear hitler from across the room
Metawarrior then your not a grey man . A grey man would jam a high heal on to murder you and leave red lip stick at the Sean with a stolen cigarette with their DNA on it , that's a grey man , if the glove don't fit you must acquit
Conclusion: Don't be a stinky red clothed guy on Saint Patrick's day.
imagine tho.
What would you do, like right in that moment, if a bunch of people (roving marauders) were about to accost you in some way,, like all your preps had not prevented this moment? Do you think if you act insane, like homeless mentally ill or addicted, they would write you off and walk away? I am totally serious in this question, though I have a feeling it sounds weird. Wait, no, I have it. You act like you are super excited to see the marauders and JOIN them because you too are a marauder - then they won't maraud YOU. Always act like whoever is about to accost you is just the very person you have been searching for.
I know a guy who bluffed a group of hooligans in London. there were 8 vs 1 but he just slowly counted them pointing a finger at each one and mouthing the number and then went "ech, i can take that". They didnt want to test that theory.
I guess, it’s worth a shot
With view to SHTF Prepping, there is also the opposite method. When times are good, be noticeable...be VERY noticeable. Don't let anybody know you are prepping, but turn heads when ever you walk down the street. Most people recognise others by associative markers, including the situation or environment they typically meet somebody. Loud clothes, flashy hair style, sing loudly as you walk, always found in specific places at specific predictable times...they all create and eventually hardwire the attributes by which people identify you.
As soon as SHTF, you are gone, disappeared. People won't be ale to find you because every single associative marker by which they'd recognise you is gone...mundane hair style, muted clothes, different territory and time plan, casual but quiet demeanour, ... people may wonder what happened to that freak that always bought a baguette at Subways every Tuesday at 4pm, but nobody would ever hunk that he turned into that quiet respectable guy who eats at Wendy's on Friday afternoons.
I been told from some mexican people (im latino) that they visit people in mexico. i ask them if they're worried about the cartels messing with them and they say as long as you dont wear anything remarkable, mainly like old plain looking clothes, and keep walking not looking around but looking like you've been there a long time and are not a tourist, you have a good chance of not arousing their attention.
Just be a Latino be a hidden gun...
@Ancestral Sage jajaj its not about looking rich in my poor México, problem is that most americans visit us and they are using cargo shorts, big hats, go pros or big cameras. They are just pretty obvious.
beware the fat man in the skinny land
@Jesus Will Reign Mexico isnt a "poor country" lol its like any other country almost.
Ya because billion dollar cartels want to mess with random people on the street
Turn 50, you disappear. Trust me.
Oh, yeah, especially to the opposite sex.
Lol that's funny but in SHTF you suddenly become a target...
Yup, ur gonna have lots of gray hair, now they wont notice your hair.
Haaa .... true that... yep I noticed that as well 😊
ivyblue1664: unmmm,not necessarily
So you mean I *shouldn't*:
-Go roaring around in a jacked-up, fully-kitted offroad "survival" vehicle
-Tromp around everywhere with my buddies all wearing matching tactical vests and milsurp gear
-Flex about all my preps to everybody to impress people and instill fear in the "libtards"
This ain't what 90% of your audience wanted to hear, haha.
I know right? It's like I shouldn't dress in the brightest clothing with a gold chain, Iwatch, one earpod texting and walking while wearing large shades a hair perm sagging pants, lime green Nikes and driving a civic with the three inch exaust spinner rims and a sticker bomb
But what _else_ am I supposed to do with my $100,000 heavily armed and armored humvee
So basically if your in a crowd and a heavy down pour occur but no one has an umbrella so they are all getting soaked,but you checked the weather and brought an umbrella to keep you dry the umbrella creates a stimulus so you need keep the umbrella hidden and get soaked with everyone else.
Rule 1: Be an extra in the movie, do not be Brad Pitt
Yeah... See thats my problem
Shit I've nailed that since day one...
so gray, being an extra in the movie wouldn't even get any pay😶
But his patois is so good. Thanks for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas btw.
Brad is a soi boi
thought i read it as ''gravy man''
Philth Collins mmmmmm. gravy
You can fit in a roast beef.
After 3 minutes i realized this whole video he just coulda said Blend In, blend in, blend in.
“Dexter has entered the chat”
You’re goddamn right.
The feels when you've already got low presence.
apparently i learned to be a gray man in public school just trying not to get harassed on a daily basis.
1. Act like you belong there.
2. Assume you are always being watched and appraised in a public or urban area.
3. Never stop
4.Avoid curiosity
What does #2 mean? Assume you are being watched? As in....not being viewed by satellites, cctv's, doorbell cams, or the 6.2 million residents in my city who are all recording non-stop on dashcams, cells.... Oddly enough, the wal mart parking lot seems to be completely private.
great video i have to say i have just found your channel and find it really easy to take in the information you give so thank you very much for your content i know this an older video lol i have a lot of catching up to do as a newbie to prepping

-how to become grey man-*how to become an assassin*
Titan Killer 7274 Ezio's robes in Revelations WAS gray, ergo, "gray man" or "assassin Ezio"
Titan Killer 7274 childish
Titan Killer 7274 yes, so much yes
Yeah assassin creed did not follow this steps at all
The best criminals, especially assassins, are grey men. Being grey means that nobody remembers seeing you, and even if they vaguely remember a person walking by they can't give a description.
I don't like a lot of stuff but you have earned the like , you don't know how useful your info is , shall be following 🤜🤛🔥💯🔥
I think I've already got this down: I've made eye contact with friends I've known for years and walked within 3 feet of them while still staring at their eyes, and they still don't notice me. If I'm trying to be noticed and no one notices me, I think I'm doing alright.
I keep trying to become the gray man. but this one guy keeps kicking my ass
-FUZZ- XoiD_ is it the greyman27?
William van Uffelen No, it's Nelson Mandella
Ællath HAHAHAHAH well played, good sir!!
i got that ad right before seeing this comment
-FUZZ- XoiD_ The grey man 27
I must be the worst "grey man" ever.
I tried it when I went to go buy some chicken the other night and it didn't work at all. I put on my best "non-descript" attire and walked into Popeye's. Three dudes kept eyeballing me the whole time I was there, and another walked up and asked if I was the guy he did some time with a decade ago.
If the whole idea of becoming a "grey man" is to not be noticed, I failed miserably.
thats good when they see you, you aren't you you're that one family friend or that guy I once knew not remembering your face but the face of someone else
Freddy Fred
I did this successfully and I'm 13
Then you must be a boring, unremarkable, indistinct, uninteresting and generic person.
You'll be popular in high school.
Freddy Fred 0.0 catty woah
He started it.
Should I discontinue shaving and getting my hair cut? Also, I live in the suburbs. Should I stop cutting my lawn?
