    I think this applies the most to the average American man rather than the men of the rest of the world.

    Don’t forget the men with shorts wearing high socks in sneakers, sandals, or even worse, slippers. You don’t wear visible socks with shorts.

    I’m happy to be a man being attracted to women, I wouldn’t want to be a woman having to be attracted to a gender dressing so badly (yes I mean just women, as men being attracted to men don’t dress poorly).

    My summer and winter clothes are exactly the same. Earthen tone pants, t-shirt, boots, and a Czech army field jacket. The field jacket much like my shirts have a video game and vaguely weeb bias. I burn hot in winter and burn under the sun in summer.

    Nope. Jeans, light button down, good color seersucker linen! That’s what it is! Thanks @yappymonotheist blazer. I think it’s seersucker I just got it out of the closet I’m not getting back up right now. Iconic hat if I’m going out out.

    I’m fancy though

      Or, get this, the poster is a guy who genuinely feels like this.

      I can’t deny that I (as a guy) have often wondered what women see in us, because to me the vast majority of men are poorly dressed on top of looking like we don’t take care of ourselves.

          That’s a stretch. I don’t need to hate someone (including myself) to deem them less attractive or just not my type.

          And I honestly think that’s what’s at play here - straight guys are into women and will judge their appearance differently from how they judge the appearance of other men.

          Perhaps we don’t collectively look like we dress poorly and barely take care of ourselves to women, as they likely look at other aspects of our physical appearance than we do

            example of your point because i agree with it: i was out the other day. i was out of jeans so i put on khakis. i fucking hate khakis so these are old and nasty. i had two errands. one of them was to stop by the pet store and get cat food and the shirt store i like is near there so i thought i’d poke my head in and see if they had anything i liked enough that i could pretend I had enough money to buy. (they did not. it’s been a few years)

            Lisa at the shirt store, she noticed right away that i was wearing my shitty khakis. First thing she said was something remarkably rude about them, i don’t remember because fuck you Lisa you don’t treat customers like that. I already knew they were ugly that’s why i hadn’t worn them in seven years.

            Now, I went to high school with Lisa and she had a reputation for, how do i put this. You know the stereotype of the lesbian who broadcasts to everyone the vitriol with which she hates men? Lisa was that but not a lesbian (that i knew of) and hated everyone. I never learned of any disability, or remarkable personal difficulty, she just hated everyone and everything. But this is me she insulted. There’s so. damn. much. to choose from. She went straight for the pants. Those awful, awful pants. Either low hanging fruit or that’s what she was focusing on.

            Anyways I pop in to grab cat food and there’s Quinn. Quinn immediately yells LOOK AT THOSE SHOES at me and we do a little dance by the register. (they are very nice shoes). Then I grabbed my cat food, biked back homo and gave the cat treats.

            So yeah, that one day it was pants vs shoes. But like, locally you tell how fancy a man is dressed by his shoes. Men just wear jeans everywhere unless you’re going to court.

      There is however a law against pitching a tent on someone else’s land, and the act of doing so does become more noticeable, maybe even more frequent, when men are walking around wearing dresses.

              Speaking of cameltoes, I’ll never understand how they happen with jeans.

              I mean, I get that it’s because the pants aren’t a good fit, but wearing them for any amount of time must be literal torture, I’ve had thigh chafing from fabric and it’s hell, imagining that further up gives me nightmares.

                It’s a combo of the pants being a poor fit, the pants being badly designed, and the pants being cheaply made.

                Fashion industry standard drafts a single pattern for each style of pants in size 2/4/6, depending on brand, then just size it up or down without redrafting it to account for body fat distribution being uneven. So even if it’s the “correct” size, it may not actually fit your measurements. Cheap fabric tends to have less structure, and it won’t hold your body fat in as well as a fabric with a tighter weave.

                You can get underwear with some padding that doesn’t squeeze around the seams if you want to avoid it.

                I personally find thigh chafing to be more uncomfortable, and cameltoe is more like a front wedgie. It’s more unsightly than uncomfortable.
