Who's the loser?

I think it's fair to say that we all love theme parties, whether it be Great Fratsby or Euro Bros and Soviet Hos. Putting on eccentric outfits and then getting black out drunk adds a level of enjoyment that isnt quite reached when wearing regular clothes. Sometimes there's even a cliche theme song involved, like Auld Lang Syne or Ice Ice Baby. Themes are the best, so its frustrating when people, mostly freshman, don't get dressed up for the theme. No one goes trick-or-treating in their normal clothes, So why is it ok to go to a Christmas themed party in the same clothes you went to class in? The answer is you wouldn't.
If everyone around you is dressed up in funny and/or slutty outfits and you're not, you don't look like the cool one, you look like a nerd. (As an aside this post is strictly directed at guys becuase girls learned long ago that for them the theme is always slutty.) And if you think you're above the theme or that you're just better than everyone else there, you're wrong. Not dressing with the theme is about as cool as going to a small liberal arts school.
When you really think about it, college is the only time when you have a consistent source of opportunities to go to themed parties, so why would you let the opportunity go to waste? Because of the fact that by sophomore year everyone gets the message and gets decked out for the smallest of themes, this is really directed at freshman. We get it, you are dweebs, but if you really wanted to make friends and have fun you would put on your suspenders, toga, converses, whatever the theme may be, and have a good time.

If you don't dress up for themed parties you are effectively that guy
