Mad Hatter Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 You'd be surprised. There's a lot of things women wear because it's "fashionable" that we guys really, really hate. The most obvious one was already pointed out. Those bug-eye sunglasses are, honestly, fucking hideous. Example: Oh I get that. I reacted to the statement that we dress in order to attract males. But fashion is not to impress men, that'd make a terrible business model. Fashion is to impress other women. And yes those glasses are hideous. 1 Quote Link to comment
insanity Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Ummmm... no. I think you'll find we don't live in the 50's anymore. Sorry but sheeple is exactly what I'd call a jeans and boots girl. Or lazy. Fashion-wise at least. And Guzzi that's a seriously rocking bod! Some of the 50s outfits are nice... Also there's nothing lazy about jeans and boots, just a different fashion, I don't want to spend all my time trying to figure out what is in, what's out, what matches what, what no longer matches... etc. Hell, now they're talking about short shorts starting to come into style for guys... I don't need all that. Keep it simple, keep it comfortable.

That's because for men, social power is tied up in what they do. For us women, it is unfortunately tied up in what we look like. 1 Quote Link to comment

The most obvious one was already pointed out. Those bug-eye sunglasses are, honestly, fucking hideous. Example: I put those dresses (quite popular too) that have the band where they start to flare out right under the chest (have no idea of what they are called) up there too, in the pants suit zone where it almost surely is making you less attractive. most dresses have the opposite effect and are very enhancing of attractiveness. Though the pants suit zone is a bit harsh. The pants suit power is so strong that even teenage boys would need viagra to get excited by a babe in a pants suit.

Hell, now they're talking about short shorts starting to come into style for guys... True story, not that I'm looking for style reasons, but I read that short compression shorts were coming into style for men. Since them I've been trying my damnest to find a pair for when I do yoga. Thus far no dice. Quote currently cutting battle log challenges: 21,20, 19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 don't panic! Link to comment

Mad Hatter Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 From the opposite end of the spectrum, (straight) guys care like 0.0000% what other guys think of what they are wearing. People care way too much what other people think. Guys have their own hang ups. as long as it's not hanging or bulging out it's all good Exactly. To be fair guys should be able to wear whatever they want to as well, even if it's short shorts or skirts. I put those dresses (quite popular too) that have the band where they start to flare out right under the chest (have no idea of what they are called) up there too, in the pants suit zone where it almost surely is making you less attractive. most dresses have the opposite effect and are very enhancing of attractiveness.Though the pants suit zone is a bit harsh. The pants suit power is so strong that even teenage boys would need viagra to get excited by a babe in a pants suit. Haha very true about the pant suits. I think those dresses only work if your 6. You'd be hard pressed to find a guy that isn't attracted to the pin up girl look. Or girl. 1 Quote Link to comment

Unless I'm thinking of something completely different? Maybe it's just me, but the combination of the band emphasizing the boobs and the flare below that sometimes makes those dresses (or similarly styled shirts, which you also see sometimes) look vaguely like maternity clothes. Pregnant women can be beautiful, but somehow I doubt that's the intended effect. Quote Level 2 Assassin There's a Stranger in TownThe Stranger 2:Electric Boogaloo Link to comment
Bekah Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Men in jeans and no shirt: not all that interesting, a tight shirt helps improve that but not by much. Pants suit: eh some women look really good in them. Babydoll dresses: for 6 year olds or role play Short shorts on guys: eh wear them if you want but I love Cargo shorts on a man.the glasses: not attractive when they hide half your face. Once again I agree with Insanity about the jeans and boots And I'm interested in exactly who Waldo sees in yoga pants that looks bad in them? I guess I just am lucky to never see it 2 Quote Druid Assassin Halfling Druid Level 16, Current Quest: Bekah Returns Spoiler Fitbit Facebook Your life does not get better by chance.

StillWaters Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Walmart is world unto itself and therefore shouldn't count. Take any fashion, and I can find someone in Walmart who doesn't wear it well, but wears it anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment
Waldo Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 And I'm interested in exactly who Waldo sees in yoga pants that looks bad in them? I guess I just am lucky to never see it You clearly do not shop at Wal Mart. People don't like it, but Lulumon has a point; their stuff is meant to be worn in public (non-workout settings), if you can't fit into their stuff, chances are its not a good look to rock in public (non-workout settings). Empire waist dresses and tops, right? http://mothertimemarketplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/empire-waist-shirt-fix.png Yep those are the ones. Though those aren't especially egregious (the more poofy the worse). Can add a belly where there isn't one (the making you look pregnant effect) and can turn even the finest squat booty into a pancake. As for the pants suit, um, isn't that for wearing in a professional setting, and therefore is not intended to look "hot"? Unless I'm thinking of something completely different? Absolutely, that is the point of them, to make you look as unattractive as possible. And it works like a charm. Other clothes do that do though that aren't intended to have the make you look as unattractive as possible effect.
