He looks like what Andrew Tate is trying to go for (but failing miserably at).

Andrew Tate looks like someone tried to draw Pitbull from memory.
You almost caused a spit-take, over here. No shit.
That is such a mean thing to say... about Pitbull.
This guy didn't have to rape or traffic to get laid.
I actually started to say THIS EXACT SAME SENTENCE, in the meme. I'm not shitting you.
I typed it and deleted it twice, eventually deciding "ehhh, maybe not everyone will see that, and I kinda don't even want to type their names in the same paragraph."
But yeah, it's absolutely the truth. Silverstein had real masculinity, in a way that the current "alpha male" crowd could never hold the slightest hope of attaining.
But, ya know, they'd probably call him gay, the second they found out he wrote poetry. As if there's anything wrong with being gay, goddamn. Society is backsliding at warp fucking speed.
You made the right call. Someone else needed to say it.
Society has never been so tolerant before. More countries are legalising Gay Marriage and giving LGBT equal rights. Yes, there are steps back like Uganda, but not even a decade ago Gay Marriage was unheard of in most western countries. Less than a century ago we were demonizing war heros because of their sexuality, see Turing.
Don't confuse noise by a few extremists online with "society".

Let's all pray you're right, come November.
And the tree was happy.
I wept while sitting on the floor beside the shelf in a Barnes and Noble reading that book when my first child was around two.
Fuck. That. Book. It barely even teaches a lesson, it just makes you feel bad!
Sometimes that is the lesson.
You. Have. Zero. Depth.
What do think is the book's message?
Also, he wrote the lyrics to Johnny Cash's hit song, A Boy Named Sue.
Last time I shared this fun fact, I was sobered to learn of the sequel. It sure is somethin'.
Oof. TIL.
... And now I'm the one with this cursed knowledge. Thanks.
Fuck me
And many of Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show hits, including The Cover of the Rolling Stone, and I got Stoned and I Missed It.
25 Minutes To Go also
I suppose I've always thought Shel Silverstein was a woman. TIL
Shel also wrote lyrics for the band Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show. Specifically, I know he has writing credits on The Cover of Rolling Stone.
He also wrote "A boy named Sue" made famous by Johnny Cash
He also wrote the song The unicorn for the Irish rovers.
He also wrote for Playboy.
Dude looks like a boss, no wonder he crushed that much.
Oh, for sure. He looks like a deadly space pirate's personal trainer.
Living at the playboy mansion for long stretches probably helps
X is for xylophone. Because X is always for xylophone.
I think G might be for Gräfenberg, tho.
This is Pablo Neruda, one of the greatest romantic poets of all time. Women fell all over him.

I am familar with the works of Pablo Neruda.
Have you read his poetry? There’s a reason he got hella laid. I’ve gotten laid off his poetry.
But also he has some accusations of sexual impropriety against him to a degree that there have been feminist pushes to rename stuff that was named after him.
I had never looked up a picture of him but idk why I expected any better.
I knew he got drafted but I didn't know Silverstein made it to Colonel!
CPT Willard: They told me that you had gone totally insane, and that your methods were unsound.
COL Kurtz: Are my methods unsound?
CPT Willard: I don’t see any method at all, sir.
The same picture is used on the inside/outside of some of his books for children. It's a jump scare every so often where one gets left open or with the back pointing up.
He is very not good looking
Yeah it turns out moms are into poets that understand kids
