I’m a man.

I don’t play dress up and I don’t wear makeup. Halloween is no exception.

Men, there are spells on you all.

If you all prefer to put on panty hose for the night, have fun, but don’t get mad at me when I laugh as I place a chocolate into your candy collecting purses when you guys make it to my house for trick-or-treating.

You all know what you guys look like.

Maybe I have too much pride, or perhaps, dignity. Dressing up like ghouls or the opposite sex isn’t my definition of fun.

I will admit that I have dressed up for halloween before, and I wore makeup with my costume when I was a kid. Did I mention that I was also abused as a child?

But that’s me.

So are college students too old to dress up for Halloween? Well, people are never too old to look like fools.

Actually, Halloween is another reason to party. And that’s the best part, well, except for the ladies.

The women and the trashy costumes they wear is what drives Halloween. If women did not wear sexy costumes, then men would not participate. Plain and simple.

I will not go as far to say that women who dress like trash are tramps, but people do choose their costumes based on who they wish they were or who they would like to be for a day.

I’ve seen it every year. The girl who watches those horrible vampire dramas on television will be a vampire for Halloween. The guy who likes country music will be a cowboy.

I too am guilty of this. The year I started playing guitar was the year I was a rock star for Halloween.

But that’s not to say women who dress trashy are tramps. Women do it for attention because all women would like men to drool over them at least one day of their lives, right?

So I am on the fence of whether people can be too old to dress up for Halloween. We’re grown ups, I am sure we can make decisions for ourselves.

Just don’t expect me to win this year’s costume contest.
