Dontcha think being honest here is better than building people up and then allowing the real world to shoot them down? At least they get the point in private verses when they are walking the mall.

And I have not seen "brutally" honest. In fact it would probably be deleted as rude. Saying "I wouldn't be seen in that" isn't mean but it is honest. And usually the poster adds, "I would do this...."

I would rather someone tell me before I leave the house....
