Sidney Sweeney Has Good Jeans

If there is one thing that every red-blooded American male of any color can agree upon, it’s that Sidney Sweeney has good…genes.

For the life of me, I couldn’t name exactly what Sidney Sweeney does. Is she an actress? A model? A particle physicist? I couldn’t tell you, and I couldn’t care less. But even I, Mr. Anti-Popular Culture (I am looking at you, Ed, who knows every cultural reference!), I know what Sidney Sweeney looks like.

And I can say that Sidney Sweeney has good genes. 

American Apparrel, which went all in on promoting their products with unattractive very plus-sized women over the past few years, has decided to see if good genes can sell good jeans, and the stock price indicates that the connection is strong.

This is enraging women on the internet, who are accusing American Apparel of promoting…Nazism, because Sidney Sweeney is blond-haired and blue-eyed. 

It is well known that the Nazi ideal was also blond hair and blue eyes, despite Hitler’s and his buddies’ distinct lack of them. But connecting Sidney Sweeney to Nazism makes as much sense as claiming that Biden is like Hitler because they both liked dogs. (In fact, Biden’s dogs were more likely to bite Jews than Hitler’s.) 

As a PROUD black man, I see nothing wrong with Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle parading her “good genes/jeans.”

Celebrating blue eyes and blonde hair isn’t “white supremacy.” Those are conventionally attractive, GOOD GENES. That doesn’t mean they’re the ONLY good genes. pic.twitter.com/FNfcpHuXZg

I am not a jeans guy, making me an outlier. I have never liked jeans, nor even the look of jeans on others. Perhaps it’s because jeans and hippies go together in my mind, although I think the reason is simpler: jeans are not comfortable on me, and I prefer others look more business casual than downscale. 

Go figure. 

Beautiful woman, cool car,
I’m Sold!! American Eagle stocks up 16% in last 5 days …

Because of the “woke backlash” I’ve just seen this ad… I’m absolutely buying some American Eagle Jeans.

The absolute opposite to unhealthy, obese, trans sexless lot we’ve seen in ads!!… pic.twitter.com/R5Manfa9Cl

But I have to say that Sidney Sweeney has good jeans…I mean, she looks good in jeans, although she looks even better in a low-cut dress. But Sweeney looks good in just about anything, because, let’s be real, she has good genes. She won the genetic lottery, and while I couldn’t say for sure, I would bet that her success and her body shape are not completely unrelated. 

Mega-viral TikTok videos with millions of views are, in near-unison, accusing American Eagle and Sydney Sweeney of “Nazi shit,” “fascist propaganda,” and “literal Eugenics.”

Is that fair? That’s a dumb question. As a short, dumpy guy who reached his peak of desirable looks around age 2, I can say that I would trade a lot to be taller and better-looking. Almost anybody who hasn’t won the genetic lottery would, because good looks get you farther than intelligence in the game of life. 

Good looks AND intelligence? Hello CEO-status. 

When a friend wants to set you up with a date, they either explain that the person is really good-looking or has a “great personality.” How many jokes are made at the expense of the latter? 

“You’ll love Jane. She has a great personality!” Hardly a winner of a pitch.

Of course an overweight woman with a septum ring doesn’t like the American Eagle ad that’s featuring Sydney Sweeney either.

Has any attractive woman actually criticized this ad?

Honest question.pic.twitter.com/CsdzfQKWv5

There is a phenomenon on dating sites where women are looking for the “triple six.” Six foot, six figures, and six inches.” It apparently is a thing that is causing trouble for men getting dates, since the combination is uncommon. Two out of the three are based on winning the genetic lottery. 

There is nothing wrong with that, except to the extent that it limits the dating pool for both men and women, and most of the women looking for that combo have NOT won the genetic lottery–you should see some of the pictures, but I won’t post any because it would be cruel. 

Let’s just say a lot look like the women complaining about Sidney Sweeney being a Nazi. 

Ads like the ones American Apparel is running work because everybody who hasn’t won that lottery wants at least a piece of what Sidney has–if they can’t look like her, at least they can get a bit closer. It’s not that anybody wants to be a bit more Nazi, obviously. It’s that they wish they were also sexy beyond the norm. 

This is normal, even if our woke culture rebels at the thought. The “healthy at any size” and fat activism movement were about rejecting reality. 

I’m not much of an investor but my plan is to wait for Calvin Klein to hire on a famous hot chick as a model instead of fat ugly trans people and dump every penny I got into their stocks. pic.twitter.com/QxhWs8IGZE

Nobody wants to look like that, and I wager that Calvin Klein didn’t win many converts to their brand by pretending that we do. 

It’s not a knock on average or ugly people to acknowledge that they are not as attractive as others, although it is nasty to say so out loud. It is just a fact, and as a man with below-average looks, I know it from experience. 

How you look does not measure your worth as an individual–in fact, many good-looking people can skate through life with less effort because they get breaks you and I wouldn’t. If Sidney Sweeney were indeed a particle physicist, a lot of people would suspect she was successful because she has good curves, even if she were a certified genius and deserved every accolade she was awarded. 

Stephen Hawking is totally believable as a genius–in fact, I suspect he is more well-regarded because of his ALS. 

I can’t judge Sweeney’s worth as an individual–I know nothing of her, and personal worth and looks are unrelated–but I do know one thing. 

Her worth as a jeans salesman has nothing to do with Nazism, and everything to do with good genes.
