Rewind to a year or so back, and Brody Jenner (talent: being born to someone talented) and Jayde Nicole (talent: tits) were dating,  making out in Hawaii, and looking generally hot all while dressed like normal human beings. He was drool-worthy hot in that “why do I know who you are again?” type of way.

Fast forward to this week. He’s now dating Avril Lavigne (talent: none) and now has an anarchy A buzzed into his hair? And like, only wears black and gray? Because why? And what? And oh my God that’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen? But it brings me to this point: long term relationships change you. No matter how hard you may try to “be yourself” and “stay true to the real you” and whatever, being in an LTR (long term relationship) with another person somehow changes your genetic makeup (science!) and turns you into like, an exact replica of them. Just another reason to stick to casual dating: keep your fabulous uniqueness, have fun, and date, at least until you’re okay being in one of those family portraits where you and your wife and your dog all have the same haircut.
