    Dressing up as a guy is kinda hard, the widely accepted options tend to have much less variety than women's fashion. You pretty much have to get weird to make it a little fun, and that's risky.

    I guess that actually makes it easy to dress up, it's just depressingly boring.

    the acceptable shirts that come out of most clothing stores the last decade or two have been so godsdamned boring. i do most of my clothing shopping at thrift stores now and look for stuff that's easily tailored because that's the only place i'll find interesting fabric. well, there and nordstrom off the rack. i saw a jacket there a decade ago that i should've bought that was too fucking expensive and i have regretted not buying it to this day. i should have spent that $700 i have had at least $700 of regret by now.

    edit: i don't have a lot of regrets but this is one of them.

      If they were just some guy it would be ok. In my female experience guys like this are overweigh, jobless, don't make a single effort at anything and are convinced women own him to be perfect

      this, but somehow a buch of them manage to rope someone way higher tier into dating them. I worked a few years at a place that employed a lot of women escaping abusive relationships. the boss was basically everyone's mom. All top tier beauties but somehow got only the skeeziest and lazy men.

        Meanwhile, most dudes would settle for someone who doest post bullshit memes that are only ever about rage baiting. This is more gals as well. We all just wanna meet good people, romantic and other wise, while having a crippling fear that we arent good enough for to deserve it. And shit like this, just fuels it. But as long as the upvotes and karma... opps, did I say the quiet part out loud?

          I remember a post where a guy was like “why does she get all dressed up to go out with her friends but with she just wears sweatpants?” and the “with me” clip had bro in basketball shorts, a t-shirt, and a baseball hat. One of the comments said something along the lines “she’s putting as much effort in as you are.”

          Too many of us dudes have such garbo fashion sense they seem to believe that wearing a t-shirt without holes and their “nice shorts” is enough to start complaining about women and it’s just sad.

          I actually really like when my so dresses like shit. I don't know why I find it so hot. Then we dress up for a dress code restaurant, come home and wear clothes with holes from parrots chewing the shoulders.

                And to that end, dressing up nice enough for interview at most places shouldn’t even be that high a bar. Dark jeans and a nice button up, even one with patterns honestly, will probably be enough. After that, though, most jobs pay like shit and treat people worse than that so if they expect me to show up in a suit and jerk them off they can get bent.

                I would also add moccasins or espadrillas (boating shoes).

                    Typically if you go looking for a partner with a checklist you'll be disappointed. Nobody wants to be graded like a piece of pork.

                              Yes everyone knows that in order to have a functional society you need to wear a yellow fluorescent jacket and set fire to a few cars every time you're moderately unhappy about something.

                                I'm not saying it's all of them, but if you talk to some of these women they have this weird idea about masculinity, it's all dressed up but when you strip it all back it's all toxic.

                                Stuff about how it's unmanly to have a pet cat, and how they should drive a big expensive car, and should pay for everything. I have no idea where they get this stuff from but if that's how they think, then they are only going to get a scumbag man because they're the only met that actually conform to that view of masculinity.

                                  Seen a lot of men like this with the "ideals" except they have a good job and think it's a crowning achievement. They also often want their wives to have good jobs and to have separate accounts and expenses? So they want a perfect, pretty, petite wife who's smart, has a great job, but also cooks, cleans, takes care of the house, and their children. What do they bring to the table? Not the looks, money or house help. Their ✨shining personality ✨? Don't worry ladies this alpha nice guy's on the market & just around the corner, lucky you!

                                    No it's existing people that are the problem. They have some bias against me.

                                      Where would you ever find someone who both watches anime AND plays video games?

                                      Talk about a unicorn.

                                      The hard part is to find someone that only watches anime but doesn't proceed to make it part of their personal identity.

                                        Well in fairness men's fashion is essentially t-shirt or suit & tie. There really isn't the equivalent of what women get, that's why all the fashion designers make dresses, because men don't get any effort put into their fashion.

                                        What is the male equivalent of dress shopping?

                                          One of the nicest jackets that I own was manufactured in the 1960s and has had quite the interesting life before I got it.

                                          It's totally impractical since it has the shallowest pockets you've ever seen. It will absolutely not hold a phone.
