Your L.L. Bean Boyfriend just got some friendly competition: Your Urban Outfitters Boyfriend. It's cabin building and trail hiking vs. silly mustaches and Chuck Palahniuk references. It's eating the trout that he cooked over a fire that he built from the logs that he chopped vs. wearing the sweater that he freegan-fished out the Goodwill dumpster then screen-printed a heart on. Aw. Sometimes the decisions in this world overwhelm us, and we have to put it to a poll.
L.L. Bean Boyfriend: He will build you a cabin in the woods and you can consider your firewood chopped. Shh...a moose.
Urban Outfitters Boyfriend: He will buy you an IKEA couch and is as well-versed in early Modest Mouse as he is in late Kanye. Sometimes he shares his falafel.
