Because body positivity doesn't exist for men.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago

I was going to say, because I don't have the stomach of a half starved gym rat. But yours is also good.

Is Reno 911 the more recent example of this?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 4 months ago (1 children)

To provide some perspective/existential dread, that character was introduced over 20 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

NO! You can't say that. It defies all know time logic.

I'm not really looking to attract other men at this time

It's not gay enough anymore.

Because I'm currently dressed like a skateboarder from the 90's and it's so very comfortable.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 months ago

Have you seen those movies and what happens to the guys dressed like that?

Try again, Freddy / Jason / Michael / motherfucker

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 months ago (9 children)

Women what’s stopping you from dressing like 80s horror movie hotties?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Nobody puts shoulder pads like that on dresses anymore

Because I did that in the 80s, so now I don't, to protect the public from trauma.

Mostly homophobia I would guess.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because people don't look like they did in the 80's anymore.

Too little cocaine in today's diet.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

Shame, mostly shame.

I'll spare the public from having to see my hairy gut and cheeks

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Belly too fat for the cut off shirt; ass not fat enough for the cut off shorts.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

Wear the shorts on your chest and the shirt on your butt?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

Survivorship bias…

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago (3 children)

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.

I'm turning 30 in January, and I'm quite self concious of my belly :(

A sense of dignity.

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Scars are cool

Social contracts about decency.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (3 children)

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.

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

Are you ok, comments? Check your body dysphoria, if you can, that isn't healthy.
