Here's a nugget of wisdom from me to you, fair readers.
A man who looked like a hairy Neanderthal as a teenager with bad fashion sense and a general sense of awkwardness will continue to look and act like a Neanderthal as a grown man.
The take-home, succinct version of this lesson, kids, is this:
A decade is not enough time for a Neanderthal to evolve into a full-fledged groomed homo sapien.
Learn it, live it and know it.
(Special thanks to my friend, Dr. Q. Matthews, Ph.D. for providing me with photographic evidence of said point.)
