Reacting To Your Assumptions About Me

[@DutchPlanDerLinde]

You quickly became my favourite style channel, you're neither nerdy or trying to be some testosterone god, works for me

[@hespokestyle]

Appreciate that!

[@vegetables1593]

I know who I think of when you say testosterone god

[@elihollingsworth6852]

Dude, also try Marcel Floruss with one dapper street- same vibes, high quality content, and more outfit advice

''Testosterone god'', I like that.I think i'll start calling myself that.😂

[@krollic]

An introvert is not someone who doesn't like being with people. And introvert is simply someone who finds extended social interaction physically/mentally draining and conversely, being by themselves, comfortable and recharging. An extrovert is the inverse because they rely on interacting with others to be fulfilled. Introverts can still very much enjoy socializing with others, and do. If you like hanging out with your friends, don't mind being alone and don't like large groups of people, you're likely an introvert. I am very similar. It doesn't mean that you're asocial or lack social skills or something. Too many people conflate introversion with those things. Cheers.

Brian... My respect for you grew 10 fold the moment I heard you answer the viewer assumption that "you were a loser in High School". Who would ever write such a thing to someone. The manner in which you answered to the false assumption was eloquent and sincere. Thank you for the wide variety of topics that you cover. You help me to look better daily and for that I am grateful.🙂

Super nice to get to know you better! I'm 54, a fellow Libra, and have learned so much by watching your channel. I appreciate your honesty, your personality and your love of quality. Be it clothes, watches, manners, self-improvement, or connecting. You truly speak style. Thank you for all you do. 🙂

[@derosa1989]

my biggest assumption about Brian is that he's a really nice guy.

[@UncleHoCM]

I get that feeling too.

[@dmitrymashkov9379]

I hadn't had any serious interest in clothing and my appearance for a couple of decades of my life. Partly because stylish people associated with being snobby and arrogant, and I simply refused to strive for that. When I came across your video about dressing casually like an adult it caught me not only because it showed a lot of details that I could pay attention to, but also because your way of telling things and looking good excludes that looking down ingredient. So not only did I find what I was interested in at the time but it also clicked in my mind and I started watching everything on your channel. Finally I threw away that jacket that I never wore and bought one that I use once in a while and the one that I started receiving compliments for. I appreciate what you do and I'm happy with the amount of humor there is on your average video (which is not plenty). I watch your videos for inspiration, not for laughing my head off :)

[@stasalexandrov5198]

Really appreciate your honesty and the level of content HSS team produce. You've had a great influence on my life since I first found this channel and I'm absolutely enjoying the positive changes in my personal style and mindset.

[@johanbrogren7947]

This is a great video! Your channel has been a favourite of mine for quite a while (I think your consistency, which you talked about in your "I Quit" video, is a big part of that) and this is really cool. And perfectly balanced. It's fun and not too personal. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@mgapagnolo4476]

I have been a cyclist for many many years now, but I have never been able to sport a shirt like you. Like you always say buy the best you can, you will never regret it.

[@ankurperiwal9704]

Always curious about one thing- how do your shirt collars hold up so well, I mean after washing and drying - How do they look crisp. Would love if you could make a video on that.

[@wt460]

You should take the Myers Briggs personality test. It will give you some very good insight as to introvert / extrovert, and a number of other personality traits. You can do it online and it has much information written about all of the potential results from the test. It was really eye opening to me and has helped me be aware of my blind spots and traits that I can work on.

[@r.j.dannemiller346]

Great video, Brian. I like your conversational style and transparency. We have many similarities. Excellent channel by the way!

[@hespokestyle]

I appreciate that!

[@Gr33nsurfer]

The thing about "introvert" is pretty much how I would answer it myself aswell, as I think large group of random people can be overwhelming but with the right people or in small groups people are awesome ^^.

[@robertschneider2189]

I have an assumption about you, only it is a fact, not an assumption. You are a kind and compassionate person. You're a good guy.

That was fabulous Brian, and nice of you to do as it borders some private areas. Thank you.

I believe there was also a hook (“haczyk”) under the “a” in Saczawa. It may derive from an ancestor named “Sadek” or it may be topographic from the Sacz region of Poland the “Sadeccczyzna,” which includes the cities of Nowy Sacz and Stary Sacz.

[@q-storm767]

Thank you for posting this great video about you. I haven't been on instagram for a while so I missed the opportunity to make assumptions about you. I learned a lot more of you than in previous videos. When you said you are of Polish descent, the thought of italian went out the window. 😆😏 Nice to know you are a fellow Gen Xer (I'm born in '76). I've stepped up my style in the last few months by the way. One day I will send pics of me being stylish for work. Take care Bri-Bri!!

Nice learning more about you. I didn't realize you had a full time job along with KZbin. That must be an interesting balance/a lot of work.

Fun video, Brian! Not so much an assumption, but a question / personal concern of mine, is the environmental impact of purchasing clothing.
