Completely Unnecessary

Both my housemates are male. Luke, while lovely, is your typical ‘afraid to say anything in case you take it to mean I think you’re fat’ kind of a boy. Standing in front of Luke asking ‘So, is this what I should wear?’ is a completely useless enterprise. He mostly wants me out of his room with the least amount of damage possible.

Bryan, on the other hand, is completely useful. My haircut that I hated a couple months ago? Everyone else was like, ‘No, it looks fine.’ Here was Bryan’s take:

Nope. It’s a shit haircut. I’ve seen you with longer hair - you look hot. But this just doesn’t suit you.

That’s exactly what I thought, and exactly what I wanted to hear. Same goes for tonight. Thankfully he came home before I went out, and vetoed the shirt Luke timidly approved. I thought it was a veto as well, but I’m useless at small decisions.

I changed, walked out on the balcony and motioned to Bryan. Without even stopping his phone conversation he was just like, ‘Yeah, looks good.’

So much more helpful! Seriously, boys - sometimes we need help. We pick your ties, the least you can do is tell us when we look hot or not.

Thank you, Bryan. You earned you keep yet again tonight.

Now we just need to work on the dishes………
