Bubble gut and Jorts isn't exactly a good look.

Oh it's a look, alright but not a good one.

Because body positivity doesn't exist for men.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month 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?

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago (9 children)

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Nobody puts shoulder pads like that on dresses anymore

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

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

Too little cocaine in today's diet.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Shame, mostly shame.

Mostly homophobia I would guess.

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

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rayspekt@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

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

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Survivorship bias…

A sense of dignity.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month 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.

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.

[–] bravesirrbn@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

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

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
