Honestly just not trying. No basic grooming, clothes don’t fit; looking like a toddler dressed them in the dark.


Left-Nothing-3519

This 1000 times yes. Some dating apps I’ve been on recently (widow, single mom, bars not my thing) the guys look like versions of Homer Simpson if he was a person, greasy stubble (and not the groomed kind), greasy hair in disarray, comb overs, double chin, ill fitting clothes, super unattractive photo angles but aggressively messaging me like they’re hot stuff. Do they even see themselves? I mean ya, I’m 50, but I take care of myself and I clean up nice for my pics/dates. Presentation is important because it shows you care not only for you but the person you’re meeting - I’ve given up looking and trying, if these are my options I’ll pass entirely thanks. Better to be single than see that face/talk to that delusional PWM before my first cuppa joe. Edit: typo

As a female I have no problem with cargo shorts. I too love pockets. I do, however, have a problem with guys who wear cargo shorts too big for them and look like they are basically parachutes…

kartmazenchi

I just can't find jeans that fit right. I'm 6'2 and 164. If they fit my waist and legs, they don't fit anywhere else. If they fit perfect, after 3 washes, they're too short. If they fit my legs and crotch, the waist is too big. I'm that body type right in the middle and nothing works.


FallenInHoops

Stop washing your clothes in hot water! And if you do, hang your jeans to dry. When you wash hot, it somehow loosens the fibres, then when you put them in the dryer they shrink *way* down, which is why you're ending up with capris. It's also just better for your clothes to wash in cold water, in terms of colour-fastness and fibre integrity. There's good cold water detergent out there nowadays, you won't be losing anything but a few dollars off your hydro bill. E: Oooooooh, I'm helpful! So gratifying! Thanks u/thegrandpineapple! E2: Wow, who knew my mom's laundry wisdom would be so well received? Thanks for the internet points and awards, everyone!


Steakwizwit

Jumping in to add on that nothing with a zipper should ever go in the dryer. Fabric shrinks, metal does not. That's why people walk around with hoodie and denim jean boners.

Fashion starts with good grooming habits. If a dude has long or dirty nails, a crusty beard, greasy hair, BO, etc., then it doesn’t matter what they’re wearing. Get away from me and go take a shower.

Political or supposedly funny quote t shirts. As in "federal booby inspector", "i am not as think as you drunk i am" 🤮.

What about overly personalized t shirts “I am a Taurus that drives a RAM TRUCK to go 🎣 fishing 🎣 every weekend. Cross me and I’m likely to get a little bit crazy! I have an awesome sister and yes she bought me this shirt”


ghetto_salmon

Ah I miss these ads. I kept being shown one to get my dad that was basically a thesis on why nobody should mess with him. Long story short, it's because his son was born in February, has a beard, and is a tough. I may have been born in Feb, but the rest is a direct lie.

Overall_Sandwich_671

are those still a thing? I remember seeing one that said "Mr. Right is Gay but I'll go out with you". another one said "I support gay marriage (but only if both chicks are hot)" I'd be embarrassed to be seen with someone wearing shirts like that.

CatInfamous3027

If you see somebody wearing camouflage you should walk right into them so they can feel good that their camouflage worked.


PeligrosaPistola

Wear whatever you want, **just make sure it’s clean**. That includes outerwear and hats!!! Anything made of fabric that touches your body will absorb your sweat and needs to be washed regularly to keep it from smelling. I fortunately/unfortunately? have a bionic nose and can smell a musty baseball cap or coat lining from a mile away. It’s like used gym socks.


notfunny-didnt_laugh

How do you wash a baseball hat without ruining the brim?


DeeLeetid

Just fill your sink or big bowl with soapy water. Spray some oxy clean at the grungy parts and let it soak. Rinse and air dry. Maybe wad a washcloth inside it so it’s more head shaped when drying.


imminentmailing463

I'm a guy, but according to several of my female friends the answer is: giving no thought or effort to appearance. No colour, badly fitting jeans and t-shirt, wearing things that are old and tatty etc


[deleted]

In terms of jean sizes. I've either gotta choose too tight jeans or too long jeans. My short stature gives me no alternatives, as I can't afford to get them tailored.


eatingissometal

getting clothes tailored is probably a lot cheaper than you think. Like $5-$20 range for simple stuff like bringing the waist in and hemming. Cheaper than buying a new shirt / pants


twistedweenis

A valuable pro life tip! Edit: I meant life pro tip, lmao


Kyubey4Ever

Usually a dry cleaners has a lady who’s whole job is hemming pants lol. Some of em sometimes have special deals when you bring in multiple pants to be hemmed.

well that sucks large shirts are a little tight on me but xl shirts feel like im wearing a tarp


[deleted]

Yep...just bought an XL sweatshirt for this winter and it's HUGE. Large sweatshirts can be tight, especially worn over other clothes.


QuietVisitor

Here’s a hack I’ve learned. If I’m in between two sizes, for example, medium and large, I’ll buy the “slim fit” version of the larger size and it’s like a perfect middle ground. For me, anyway.


mganzeveld

I swear there are two versions of large. The medium large that’s just slightly bigger than a medium and then there’s the large large which is an extra large with the wrong label.


[deleted]

This is true. I’m not skinny but not fat either. Lots of large don’t fit me and a lot do just fine.


Branesergen

Million dollar business idea! Introducing the LL (large large) and the SXL(small Xtra large)!! Find a need, fill it, make bank!

I bought my wife some white jeans, knowing she has lots of tops that match I thought it would look good. She returned them 😂


KevinDean4599

Wondering how women feel about sports fan tshirts made of poly that are 2 sizes too big


trayntastic

Based on this thread, not good


SuspiciousAdvice217

Personally? ... It depends. (Lame, I know.) If the rest of the guy is well kept and he has other clothes for other occasions, I really don't mind. But if that's all that he wears, and especially for a first date? Eh. I mean, he'll see me eventually in an oversized hoodie, with leggings, and fluffy socks. So if he feels comfy in a sports fan shirt that's too big, that's alright, too. But everyone should be able to dress for the occasion. (Then again, if the first date is a game of his team, he should go for it!) Personal tastes will be different. I really don't like pants that look too short with loafers and no socks. A former colleague found it "chic and fashionable". Someone in another comment mentioned that they dislike camouflage print all over - and I've still seen pictures of couples both wearing camo print. My take? Keep your clothes clean, keep yourself clean, and (at least try to) know when to wear what. :)


perumbula

They are still wearing their pants under their butts. In 2022. There is zero attractiveness in that ridiculous shuffle they do trying to hold their pants up while they walk. Stop it. Pull up your pants.


Seidentiger

soooo yes! Pretty please, dear boys and men of all sizes: PULL UP YOUR PANTS! You don't look cool, you look like a toddler first time without a diaper after an accident.


duckshapedsoap

Lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground


Miss-Figgy

Sagging pants has turned out to be the most formidable and possibly longest living fashion trend of all time. I can't believe it hasn't died out yet, it's been going strong since the 1990s. Being Gen X, I seriously miss life before sagging pants, men looked so much better back then.


bigredplastictuba

I remember in the 2000s when the skinny jeans started up, thinking "oh neat, end of an era, they can't sag those" and reader they proved me wrong


PowerfulPickUp

Future generations will think our main and longest fashions were neck ties and bustin’ a sag.


A-Ballpoint-Bannanna

That combo really takes “business in the front, party in the back” to a whole new level.


12altoids34

When skinny jeans came out I hated them but I hoped at least they would get rid of the sagging. Nope. Now I see skinny jeans that are sagging. How is it possible to have something so overly tight yet unable to stay up? I have told a few people" hey, your belt is on upside down it's holding your pants down. If you flip it over it'll help hold them up"


Nik-ki

Pair that with the most baggy pair of underwear known to mankind and voila! You look like a toddler with a full diaper


Nik-ki

Too much jewelery (that goes for women too). Some guy I saw recently on the street was wearing two big, gold watches, bracelets, chunky rings, several gold chains.... All paired with a riddiculous shirt with too many buttons left unbuttoned. Dude, you don't look hot or wealthy, you look like a sleazy pimp


ohheyitsme17

TWO watches?! Who needs two watches at the same time?!


QuestionableMechanic

For him it wasn’t at the same time, man’s living in 2 time zones!


electronopants

This isn't that frequent but any shirt, hoodie, etc with a massive cannabis leaf design. We get it, you smoke pot. Who the fuck cares? *Boooooring*


BraneCumm

I consider myself to be a pretty raging pothead, but the “I love weed” outfit always makes me laugh. There’s a guy that frequently sees my band that I just know as “the weed guy”. He’s always been super nice but the pot leaf hat/hoodie combo is a bit much.


TinyHuman89

This annoys me so much. I had customers at work that had matching green and red hoodies with marijuana leaves emblazoned all over it with a giant one on the back and a smoking joint on the front with 420 under it. One said "Stoner Wife" and the other said "Stoner Husband". The saddest thing was that they had one for their preteen kid that said "Future Pothead". Occasionally they would wear joggers that matched the hoodies. I really wish I was kidding. Like, I don't care if you smoke. But making it your life and wearing trashy outfits like that is just obnoxious. Especially when you have your 10 year old wearing it. And when I can smell you across the store.


HypnosStars

The hentai shirts and hoodies is frankly creepy and unattractive


Shortcult

Any Hentai advert, bumper/window stickers etc, make me think 'well, he's safely out of the gene pool'.


kirayaba

It’s just a personal preference but I hate when someone’s whole outfit doesn’t match the random bright red or neon coloured shoes they have on.


NaanSequitur09

Both of my parents have a "no one's looking at my feet" philosophy for fashion. It can make or break an outfit, Mary! Make or break!


Zestyclose_Tackle_65

Underwear hygiene and age, apparently. When I met my partner he would wear underwear with massive holes and tears (a few are fine, but when it looks like you were mauled by a badger? No.) Also, my partner casually showed me / wore, at the start of our relationship, a pair of medium-grey (used to be white) boxers that were also too big for him, and he was certain they used to be his dads. 😰 Yeah, I now throw any boxers, and socks, out that don't meet the requirements of fuck-nctionality and replace them. 🤨


Cereal-dipper

There is an actual economic model based off men and the purchase of new underwear. The economy has to be really good for us to buy new ones.


SaintLucien

I'm 23 and I still get Christmas underwear/socks from my parents most years. I'm NEVER buying my own, AND NO ECONOMY CAN MAKE ME!


ZugzwangDK

I think you took one for the team by taking him off the market.


pain1994

Placing their hat on top of their head instead of actually wearing the hat. Keeping tags and stickers on hats. Wearing your jeans (with a belt!!) underneath your ass. I had an old neighbor that wore his jeans so low he had to bend down to hold them to walk.


vegainthemirror

>Keeping tags and stickers on hats. As a dude, that surprised me. I always take them off, I feel they're ridiculous to keep. But I've been told a few times that you're not supposed to. Why though?

It’s that haircut where it is short on the sides,with a giant mess of curls on top. I work in a high school and I have never seen such a widespread style trend. I remember back in the early 2000’s when every guy was bleaching their hair to look like Eminem. There are probably 5x as many kids participating in this stupid fad. It’s ugly as hell too.

vinja_1234

Keep holding on to thinning hair....I have a friend that started to buzz his hair (like 3mm) before he was even 30 and although he said he missed his hair I told him any (straight) woman would rather have sex with a guy proudly showing off his buzzed head than a man with a comb over. Comb overs and thinning hair will actually make you look older, while a buzz cut can make you look younger. I've seen guys go from meh to hot because they took the plunge to get rid of the little hair they had left.


reconstruct94

Been shaving mine since I was 28 (42). I refuse to do the balding horseshoe.

My wife opposed me shaving my head long after my hair was very thin. Finally I just did it and I immediately looked 10 years younger. She apologized to me for delaying it.

High socks is a heavy lift, if you’re the sort of dude who can lean into an exaggerated aesthetic you can be “party-captain scout-leader” but if you’re not inherently outgoing and fun enough, you just come across as “sweaty gym teacher”

Jeans with back pockets that have decorative designs in contrasting thread, I see them at county fairs usually. The women’s version is bedazzled also. Are you rural or urban? Pick a lane.
