The Vine is the latest taking the number to stand in the line.
After watching Rafael Nadal pick at his undies before every serve during the Australian Open, it struck me that many men are probably spending the day in uncomfortable undies. If the world's number one tennis player, one of the richest men in sport, can't afford to get good undies, or advice on good undies, what hope do the rest of the world's gentlemen have?
Rafa could do worse than look to two other tennis players, Pat Rafter and Bjorn Borg for comfy dacks. Pat is all about sturdy, sensible, comfy Bonds. Bjorn has his own far-out colourful range of shorts and briefs.

Fortunately for Rafa, Bonds did send him a load of Pat Rafter's favourites. His nervous undies picking may cease yet.
He's said before that he would like to stop it if he could. If he was being honest, then Rafa, your number one step would be to switch from briefs to boxer/briefs.
As for me, I... don't really care. I mean, who knows, he may be doing it to draw attention to his admittedly out-of-this-world asset? Maybe he likes attention there? Maybe he does it to distract his opponents? Who really knows?
It's totally one of those things that you think is cute about a man, until you've been together with him for about 6 months. And then the novelty (about everything) wears off, and you start saying "it was cute when I first met you but now it's just annoying and rude", but who REALLY cares? If the man is Rafael Nadal, would you honestly complain about one annoying little habit, when you can have all of him?
That was a hypothetical question, btw.
Sometimes I think he's so focus on his game that he doesn't even realise he's doing it. Or maybe it's something to get focus? I don't know.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't care at all, it's just one more of his habits and i'm fine with it.
He does it off-court too - it's not just an on-court habit and, of course, has NOTHING to do with how well his undies are currently fitting. I wish he could stop because it does turn so many people off, but it's not like it's that big of a deal.

Wake me when he's playing live again.

[...] Stop The Butt Picking? « El Toro De Rafa [...]
ReplyDeletePeople being annoyed by his butt-picking... SO. OLD. NEWS.
ReplyDeleteHe's said a gazillion times it's not the underwear, it's a habit. I'm sure if he could, he would stop just for the sake of people shutting the F up.
Oh well, the only advice I can give him undie-wise is: stop the madness - go commando. Luckily, sweat-soaked white Nike shorts are seethrough. Everybody wins. o_O
