Like I said, I don't know if I wanna cater to my quirk here. That wouldn't be progress.
I will eventually want/need to purchase body armor given the line of work I'm headed for next year (fed law enforcement) but I don't think it's healthy to prance around the house in ranger panties and Level IV stand alone plates in a MOLLE rig because it "makes me feel safe... ya know, like a security blanket that prevents torso perforation." It might make me feel better, but that's just a little silly.
I need to relax. Get another hobby.

First Date Scenario:
Guy: "How's your food?"
Girl: "Fine. Say, I've been meaning to ask you... what are you wearing under your jacket?"
Guy: "Uh... a back brace. See... I, uh, hurt my back in the gym a while back."
Girl: "That's funny, they usually don't look like kitchen cutting boards."
Guy: "Busted. Okay, it's my chicken plate. It'll stop 12 rounds from an AK47 or 6 rounds from a SVD."
Girl: "Oookay. And why are you wearing that to dinner?"
Guy: "Um... in case your father doesn't like me?"
...
Yeah, that would be a bad plan.
