Dudes look like a still image for a gay fashion themed Sims 4 pack

[–] Bremmy@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The gays probably have better fashion sense

[–] rivan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Real ones know gays mostly wear carharts and dickies

Gay men are disproportionately the victims of this fashion disaster, not the perpetrators stop the stigma

I said this because I spent my teenage years downloading, installing, and abusing such mods.

I was making a joke but it maybe didn't land right oops

Men, what's preventing you to dress like this?

The fact that my girlfriend would die from laughter if I did.

[–] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Life insurance for her, buddy

I've managed to buy clothes since I left the eighth grade.

[–] Spicy_Canada_Dry@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

i dont want my balls squished. and want to be comfortable

[–] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 18 points 2 days ago

They almost look shrink wrapped

[–] M137@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Not wanting to look like Douchebag McDouchebagface is what's stopping people from looking like that.

[–] BreadAndThread@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

They're all wearing leggings of assorted fabrics and styles.

[–] slouching_employer@lemmy.one 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Give it about ten years and the popular style will pendulum back to fitted/tight clothing.

Just like it was before the current baggy trend and after the previous baggy trend, which was preceded by another tight trend, which was preceded by another baggy trend, and so on and so on

I wonder how much momentum there is in that pendulum?

I think it started swinging (at least in America) in the 30's. Between the scarcity of the depression and rationing during the war, fashions tended toward minimal. Then in the abundance of the 50's you got big puffy poodle skirts and zoot suits because we finally had a surplus.

I am not dressing for you. I am dressing for my own comfort and to satisfy legal requirements.

Guy in the beige shirt accidentally came out wearing his little brother's face.

What's preventing me? For one, actually having taste in clothing.

[–] don@lemm.ee 40 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m not a complete fucking bellend.

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago

I'm at 89% on the bellend-o-meter myself at the moment, I'm afraid that if I go over 90% I'll have to dress like them!!

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 40 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't think you should subject everyone in public to having to see the entire shape of your cock and balls in pants that are so tight you can't even walk in them.

[–] solomon42069@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago

Well I'm a pervert, and that's a hard disagree from me. Very hard.

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 50 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This is an example of more dollars than sense. They look terrible and paid good money for the privilege.

I can't stand tight clothes especially shirts. There are very few things more annoying and uncomfortable than a shirt that desperately wants to burrow into your armpit.

As for the pants I can't say I'd enjoy needing a changing partner:

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 32 points 2 days ago

"What's preventing you from dressing like this?"

My moderate self esteem.

[–] Naja_Kaouthia@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago

That second guy is one fart away from a public nudity charge.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 16 points 2 days ago
  • I prefer to wear socks
  • I used to be fat, so skin tight shirts don't look good on me
  • I like button up shirts
  • In cool weather when I wear long trousers, I prefer not to have my ankles frozen
  • In hot weather I'm keeping as much of my legs bare as available men's bottom wear allows

All in all I don't like that style. I knew a boy who liked that style as a youth, he was a arsehole

[–] bingBingBongBong@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

All my trousers are too tight, it's the washing machine I swear

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That moment when you have a pair of 36 and 44 waist shorts from the same company and both fit the same. Then you put on a 38 and they fall off your ass and a 40 is to tight. If there was more quality control in clothes I'd probably be a lot more apt to shop

Because I don’t aspire to drive an Audi.

Testicles descent outside the body for good biological reasons.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 16 points 2 days ago

Because I don't shop in the kids section.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

The ability to move without squeaking.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

Junk too big, I'm too fat, and it's a douchy style when taken to the extreme of the photo. Wearing well fit clothes is good, but this is something else.

I regularly have trouble finding pants where the crotch doesn't crush things or make it look like I'm smuggling sausage, the waist is wide enough, and the legs don't look like they're parachutes. Usually settle for two of the three.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

What's this? The chess club? Robotics? They look like nerds. Twerps even. Real dorks.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 17 points 2 days ago

Also I try not to wear plastics.
