Why don't you?
Why don't you?
Why don't you?
A belly has developed
This.
Bubble gut and Jorts isn't exactly a good look.
Oh it's a look, alright but not a good one.
The thighs have paled
Sure some wouldn't like that look, but some would
Does this mean that you did dress like this in the 90s?
It was surf shorts and button down shirts all unbuttoned and long hair, just bumbling around drunk and happy in the grocery store like Jeff Lebowski. I was fit though yes. If I went in drunk with shirt unbuttoned today someone would probably get the manager out to talk with me about it.
Because body positivity doesn't exist for men.
I was going to say, because I don't have the stomach of a half starved gym rat. But yours is also good.
Hey my dude. I'll cat call you if you want.
Damn bro you hot as fuck no homo. Like shit man, you rocking that shirt like you belong in a museum of sexy ass motherfuckers no homo. Damn man if I was into dudes, I'd want your body all over mines no homo.
Anyways have a nice day.
That was sweet of you 🙂
Can we do this but homo
Bingo.
Is Reno 911 the more recent example of this?
To provide some perspective/existential dread, that character was introduced over 20 years ago.
NO! You can't say that. It defies all know time logic.
It's not gay enough anymore.
So?
A beer belly
The six pack evolved into a keg
Women what’s stopping you from dressing like 80s horror movie hotties?
Nobody puts shoulder pads like that on dresses anymore
Of course dressing like 80's horror movie hunks. Crop tops and jean mommy shorts.
Because I'm currently dressed like a skateboarder from the 90's and it's so very comfortable.
High fructose corn syrup.
Have you seen those movies and what happens to the guys dressed like that?
Try again, Freddy / Jason / Michael / motherfucker
My gross body
I think you look hawt.
Because I did that in the 80s, so now I don't, to protect the public from trauma.
Those socks are weirdly nostalgic for me, but I can't quite recall when I quit wearing them for some reason.
Right before 1990 as grunge became a thing.
Mostly homophobia I would guess.
Because people don't look like they did in the 80's anymore.
Shame, mostly shame.
My dad bod. I used to wear short shorts and didn't care if my shirt rode up
I used to wear short shorts and didn't care if my shirt rode up
I still do, but I used to, too.
Thanks Mitch
Dad bod though?
It’s still summer, so I’m rocking my 70’s coke dealer vibe, and don’t want to put away the floral shirts just yet.
The cut-off athletic wear look is definitely a late summer/early autumn. If I can find appropriately skimpy shorts and cut offs, I’ll be all about it.
There needs to be a “Modern Himbo” store so finding clothes like these isn’t such a chore.
Because it looks dumb af and always did?
Just like the hairstyles everyone had in the 80's. There's a reason no one really dresses like that and it's because generally everyone realized how dumb it really was.
Yeah, I think that the 80s were a stylistic low point in western history. Everything looked bad from the clothes, to hair styles, to electronics, to cars, to home decor (though that specific area bottomed out before the 80s and was on its way up).
The music though!
The next generation always says the previous generation had no style. Or else we wouldn't call it a trend
because straight men are terrified of appearing gay.
If I dressed like that, I would not look gay at all. I would look EVEN MORE like a dad.
exactly; they won't look gay, but they think they will for some reason.
Survivorship bias…
Belly too fat for the cut off shirt; ass not fat enough for the cut off shorts.
Wear the shorts on your chest and the shirt on your butt?
I'll spare the public from having to see my hairy gut and cheeks
I'm a twink not a hunk
Im a trunk.
I'm a thunk.
Too many scars.
Edit:
2 down votes.
I have real scars, I am embarrassed greatly by how they make me look, even though I could otherwise pull off this look as I am in decent shape.
Guess body shaming is still cool to do to guys.
Scars are cool
war wounds or caesarian?
And yes I know Julius wasn't delivered this way
Are you ok, comments? Check your body dysphoria, if you can, that isn't healthy.
Our society's rules about sex and dating have been upended several times in the last few decades, people are broadly more aware of far more social issues and the plights of others than we ever have been because we have all that access to people's innermost thoughts on the internet, whether or not those thoughts are reflective of reality is not important, it's the idea that we are all worried about becoming a subject of that collection of negative thoughts, and we tend to have negative reactions to even the idea of some people finding other people attractive because it's a sharp reminder that most people don't look like this, and most people don't know first thing about how to compensate for not looking like this.
And many guys don't even want to "compensate" by trying to fit some other image they don't know how to achieve.
Also, even though broadly our standards for women, sex and dating have changed so much, our expectations and standards for masculinity haven't really changed at all, so it's created a huge, confusing "wall" of sorts for men everywhere who don't really know how to find a place in a world that simultaneously expects them to live up to these standards that were established in the ice age, but also be some kind of "new male" who has feelings and is sensitive (but only if they're the "sexy" kinds of feelings) and doesn't threaten anyone.
Most young men growing up in the developed world right now have no idea how to date and be loved or even how to have positive emotional states or feel proud of anything while swimming in this social-media-soaked landscape. A lot of young men who haven't developed emotionally choose to either "disappear" from the world of dating and romance, or go the opposite direction and latch onto horrible grifters promising simple answers like the Andrew Tates and Sneakos of the world, and this is all also why the rates of intimacy and relationships between younger people is plummeting right now, to a degree that is seriously going to become a major problem.
Of course we are not.
The weather
Cause I'd look like a mustard tiger selling greasy cheeseburgers
Social contracts about decency.
I went to a 70's themed costume party once and wore short jean shorts like that. Let's just say they only work when you wear tighty whiteys not boxers
Rofl
good taste, better judgment, dignity
Bouncers would make you change
Bounce this (does elaborate football move, succeeding on the third attempt) ha (visibly out of breath)
You are. I wouldn't want to make you have to look at that.
Someone's never been to a rugby game...
It's like prime Larry Byrd era NBA short shorts.
nuts flyin left and right huh? I'll be goddamned, I've never been but I know those shorts aren't the longest on them meaty thighs..
Pockets. I like pockets.
Joke's on you, kids do this now and have short longs
who says i don't?
Pics or it didn't happen.
Body shaming, mostly.
Abs I guess
Who says I don't?
The exposed hernia belt isn't sexy.
Googled it and found only things like this.
Ozempic prices
That drug hospitalized my SO.
Same reason women don't look like unreasonably attractive actresses?
Its to cold
good taste.
Styles have changed. That looks silly now
Okay, if you think that's a good idea
Shorts are too long.
you may not like it but this is what the peak male athletic form looks like
I can't wait to let my wife know
Don't body shame, some people are into that body.
Quite a lot of people; if op is feeling unconfident in their body, I'd recommend them just looking at the thirst for bears lol
some of them are about 3.5 inches into that body, if you know what I mean.
I think I wanna wear yoga pants to really complete the look lol
I'm into it
This is a good idea. People should be allowed to wear whatever tf they want.
I completely agree that they should. Recognize though that other people are going to find some things more attractive than others. That's okay - we're not obligated to dress in a way others find attractive - but many people do care about being attractive.
