This shit has to stop.

[Irridium]

Ok, I'm fine with whatever fashioned trend is "in". I really am. I ignore it, it ignores me.

But for fuck's sake, can't they stop with the stupid-ass words? Please? Stop making up names for things with names just so you can feel better about wearing them. You are not wearing a "mankini", you are wearing a bikini. You are not wearing "manties", you are panties.

If you like wearing that stuff, fine. Just fucking come out and say it instead of hiding behind stupid-ass words.

And you can vacation anywhere. Even at home.

Fuck, send me anywhere where my family/friends aren't and it's a vacation.

 

[Sir Prize]

None of this would bother, if they would just stop trying to make these things sound 'manly'. If a guy wants to wear a skirt, then he should call it as such.

 

[Braedan]

Some times I feel that firebombing LA and surrounding area would be a great boone for the world. Not killing people. By all means, let them live, just don't let the people who live the kongregate.

At least some fashion trends would die out.

I thought Murse was a Male Nurse, like a Mecretary or a Manicurist.. oh wait, that works.

 

[Paragon Fury]

I'm sorry, but the Mantyhose is where a line is crossed. Women wear it because their legs are curvy and smooth. Even from a fashion perspective, it doesn't make any sense for men to use them.

That's a woman, and can never again be a man ever again. Ever....fucking...again.

Maybe that was a truth or dare thing.

I think the real question is this:

Is that guy going to pay his sister/girlfriend back after he just ruined her clothes?

 

[keosegg]

My reaction after reading this and OP's little ***** fest:

Seriously though, who cares? What is it a maritime law that men can't be fashionable? Why are those items (save for some of the more outlandish ones) automatically deemed female products and fashions only? Who cares if a guy wants to carry a hand bag around. Maybe he has some shit he'd like to carry around with him as well without having to either carry it in his pockets or hands, or heave a huge messenger bag around just to look "socially acceptable". And don't talk shit on mandals either. Sandals are comfortable! Personally I think it's quite cute that these people are making up these words. They sound hilarious when you try to say them. Geez OP lighten up, we already have a surplus of pessimism in this world, we don't need any more.

As for the whole staycation thing, way to be a douche and make people who are broke or can't afford a "proper" vacation away from home feel even more inept.

Took the words right out of my mouth. So freaking what? They're not forcing you into those items, so why must they stop wearing them? I personally hate the fact that men have to eschew everything feminine in order to be a man. The further we drift from this ideal the better, I say.

Though I have to admit, the names are just plain idiotic.

 

[LilithSlave]

...couldn't he have at least shaved his legs...? it's just...ugh, it's so wrong.

No sir, as an expert on things that are wrong and right I find that you are quite wrong. And that is deliciously right.

Men are smoking less now. That's what happened. Isn't it wonderful?

 

[Dracowrath]

I think it's official. Californians are just fucking with us at this point. This can't possibly be anything more than an elaborate joke, as no sane human could take this seriously. Also, as to your question of hated words, Bromance. If half the word comes from romance, you're not implying that you're friends you're implying you're fuck buddies.

 

[galn345]

Have you ever heard people say that what you hate reflects who you are as a person?

What exactly is it about certain trends that make people so angry? Is anyone forcing you to go along with them? I have good news - they really aren't.The fact is that 99% of men are neither Sean Connery or Justin Bieber, but somewhere in between. Are a few guys dressing in a more classically feminine way forcing you to do the same?

We live in an era in which it is harder than ever before to figure out what it truly means to be a "man". It's not like the 50's when manliness meant having a devoted and obedient wife and children, never expressing your feelings and being a provider.

In a world where half the time we're being told to "man-up" and the other half that we need to be more modern, it is hard to keep a sense of ourselves. It's very easy to point at someone and say "hey, at least I'm not THAT guy", but you don't need to. As this post clearly shows, a lot of people feel exactly the same.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

LMAO

ohhh dear lord.
My eyes burn.
I know flamboyant gay men that wouldn't wear that crap.
I' sorry but no self respecting man would ever wear that.

Somehow your Avatar matches your tone perfectly.

OT, I hate the word Moobs.

 

[Fawcks]

It isnt exacly the same, this is what is called "fashion" nowadays, its not just guys that like to dress in women's clothes, being dressed this way is now the "right" way.

The problem is that these guys will probably make fun of the "average" t-shirt and jeans combo guy because he isnt up to date with the fashion standards. And trust me, I already saw this happening.

No, it's not. This is a fetish disguised as a new and exciting fashion trend. If I start to call my gimp suit a fashion trend, that doesn't make it so.

Anyone making fun of the standard T-Shirt and Jeans wearing male is nothing but a tosser and deserves to be ridiculed as such. Because they're dumb.

The problem isn't so much dressing different from the norm. If the person in question is happy with their choice in clothing, then who am I to take that away from them? What I do have a problem with is changing the vernacular for no good reason.

I dressed in drag once back in high school for an in-class adaptation of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (yes, it was meant to be funny). I went the whole nine yards, even going so far as to cinch myself up in a corset (I gained a newfound respect for Victorian women, let me tell you). Not once did I refer to it as a "morset," "broset" or any other meaningless euphemism. And this was for a costume that I was frankly more than a little embarrassed to be seen wearing in public.

These men on the other hand are more than happy to flaunt their particular fashion choices for the world to see. If that's the case, shouldn't they be confident enough to refer to their clothing by its proper name?

I think it's dumb, but Hell, these are the same people trying to pass off dressing in women's clothes as the new, cutting edge fashion trend (Newsflash: This will never catch on), so it's pretty much par for the course of what I would expect from these people (I.E. Not much).

I was more or less refering to the people saying, "These are not MEN, wearing women's clothing!" since I am a male that falls WAY out of the stereotypical gender rolls, and as such, I tend to hate people who claim "Men should be this" and "Women should be that", and I was in a lesser way refering to the whole... Dumb name thing, but yeah. The names are dumb, but what can you expect from the people trying to pass this off as fashionable?

 

[attackshark]

ugh. . . make it stop. . .

 

[attackshark]

i wish i could unsee all of it.

 

[Dorian6]

not crazy about the name, but I'd like to do some nasty things to* that guy modeling the manties


*have violent sex with

 

[personion]

Oh come on, I'm not bothered at all by them. They're fun to say and I see absolutely nothing inherently bad with them.

 

[Rad Party God]

Seriously, I never liked fashion, only if it doesn't make me look stupid, wich is 90% of the time.
I know a couple of gay men that wouldn't even bother to look after those awful things.

Agreed. You guys sound like the men who write magazines on how to be men. It's pretty retarded.

 

[Riicek]

You know what you must do. You must nuke LA right off the map. This is where these terms came from. Now destroy it and become one with the darker dark side.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It's a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

"Manties"? I thought we called those "briefs"....

And the term "mongs" makes me throw up a little in my mouth.

 

[zombie goat fetish]

Why!!! seriously why, just...............why.
