Man about awesome: A dude's costume halloween guide

MANILA, Philippines - Lindsay Lohan once soberly said: “In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girl can say anything

about it.” Well I say, in Man World, Halloween is the one night a year when bros can play dress-up and still be able to pick-up chicks, sluts included. Here are some costumes that you should and shouldn’t wear, and some tips on how you can pick up hot chicks along the way.

Avoid wearing at all costs

Vampires

Vampires that sparkle in the sunlight are not cool. Even more so vampires who are too cheesy and flowery for the good of their own kind.

Werewolves

Werewolves who get involved in a love triangle with a sappy, emo vampire and his equally sappy, emo chick are also not cool.

Cigar Guy

Come on, you wouldn’t want to be walking into a party looking like this guy would you?

Must wear

Spartan/ Mr. T/  Naked Terminator

Disclaimer: Do not attempt if you don’t have pandesals for abs and if you are sporting some unsightly man boobs. (Especially man boobs. Please just don’t.)

Imagine walking into the party, clad in nothing but your awesome flesh, and telling the ladies: “Come with me if you want to live.” Oh yeah. It. Is. On.

Escaped Convict

Tell that hot chick beside you that you really are an escaped convict. Before she runs off to call the bouncer/security guard/ barangay tanod, tell her that you were framed and that you escaped in order to clear your name ala Salt (except you’re the hot dude version). You need her help in your awesome adventure of danger, romance, and everything sexy and in return for helping you, she gets to ride off with you into the sunset.

Old Spice Guy

Hands down one of the easiest costumes to pull together. Just put on a towel and have that exaggerated sense of machismo and ego, and there you have it, Old Spice Guy. Going to the party on a horse is a plus, or having tickets to that thing she loves.

Jack Sparrow

Everybody loves a burly, salty and tipsy pirate. Who doesn’t? They take whatever they want, whenever they want, and they don’t have to take a bath to do that. That’s a real man, if you ask me. Oh, and they have lots of booty too, if you know what I mean.
