I wear the same clothes every day and I haven't had a friend in over 20 years. My weights and my computer are my only friends.
Yes, because I'm gay. I don't want to post pics of my normal clothes on here though. Happy to give advice to anyone who wants though.
Man again with the same post, nobody gives a frick about your business casual wardrobe

Is there any way I can block posts with images of women in them?
Any succes?

>you know how to dress yourself
I missed whatever developmental critical period people go through where they decide what kind of clothes look good or bad, what fits them and what doesn't, what the right way to wear nicer clothes is, etc. There's literally no going back. Here's what you get when you try to find fashion "advice"
>Top 10 Dress Shirts You Must Buy Today

>The most important thing is to wear what looks good on you
b***h FRICKING homosexual I DONT KNOW THATS WHY IM TRYING TO LEARN
>so here's my sponsored content but really just try things out and see what you like
I LIKE T SHIRTS AND GYM SHORTS YOU OVERSOCIALIZED homosexual. I'm peak fricking apex mad over this I can't even see straight sometimes. If you don't have the basic substrate to make sense of these things, it's over.
I've pretty much given up on career advancement and "soft skill" development because even if I were to get lucky and get some aspect right I'd still miss all the others. Research has shown that you can't learn social skills like eye contact, not fidgeting, etc. either, so it's literally over. I just got passed up for a promotion, then got a fricking email from someone who seemed nice saying "hey you should really email the interviewers after your interviews to thank them and show continued interest". b***h ARE YOU FRICKING SERIOUS DO YOU WANT A TIP TOO?
>in b4 not tipping your interviewers
I literally and unironically went into academia thinking I'd be judged for my work and contributions, which are very strong, instead I get kneecapped by this shit. Frick it, I'm going to focus on the aspects I like, ignore this fake and gay bullshit, start showing up to conferences in jeans and solid color tees and sneakers, then keep working my current job without advancement (at least it's 6figs) until they fire me for not making Zoom eye contact enough or some shit, and hope I have enough money by then to buy a trailer in the mountains and gym and hike until I die.
How much of a moronic zoomer do you have to be to believe that the entirety of literature on men's fashion consists of AI-generated listicles
Did your single mother not teach you to read either? Can you even read this post?
There it is. Exactly my point.
>how can you not know what I know automatically
>no I won't tell you, nobody will go fall down and die aha
TND (the N stands for Normies)
Yes I can distinguish those things, literally one of my examples was human-made content. Are you literate?
>how can you not know what I know automatically
What sort of reaction are you looking for here? Pity? You want us to feel sympathy for the unlucky plight of your existence?
No I'm just venting into nothingness.
What the frick is a fit? Like this board? I only wear Amazon Essentials slim fit light pink T shirts and Amazon Essentials shorts. My shoes are New Balance sneakers my psycho c**t ex-wife recommended (comfy i guess) or pink Crossfit shoes (I cut out the Crossfit logo) for gym. Is that what you mean? Again I don't know that's the problem.
Here are a couple examples from when I tried
>go to mall stores, try to find dress clothes that fit
>only t shirts are way too baggy, balloon out in the belly
>wear them untucked, later learn that's bad somehow?
>find nice jeans, Lucky brand, that fit me well in the legs
>wear them to class in grad school, hanging out with friends, etc.
>"Hey you're wearing jeans tonight?"
>"Yeah what's wrong with that?"
>"Oh nothing" (obvious lie or why would they mention it)
Is the idea that I'll post something and you'll say what's wrong with it? I already know what's wrong with it, I chose it so it's completely distanced from anything resembling the common fashion sense I never learned and now cannot learn.
I actually doubt that, at least I don't need to do the wagie dance. Aside from when this garbage sneaks in I fricking love my job.
how old are you and where do you live? why would anyone make a comment about wearing jeans, the most basic of pants?
nta but I'm fairly certain he was in a social/work setting where people were expected to dress more formally than jeans
it sounds like in general he is willfully not taking social cues from people around them then blaming everyone but himself for the consequences
I take the social cues, I explained already multiple social cues I've been provided so I know one when I see one, but they don't contain useful information except not to do what I'm doing. What am I supposed to do with that, run around naked? Serious question.
why don't you take a picture of you wearing one of your solid colour t shirts (preferably white or black) and your jeans that you hate so we can see how it looks?
>What am I supposed to do with that, run around naked? Serious question.
I was going to say that it's not possible that someone in academia could be this willfully stupid but then I reflected on the state of modern academia itself and it seems entirely plausible now
he says he is normally decked out in amazon sports wear so I have no clue
>Wait, it depends on geographical location too?
idk probably not since jeans are so basic and ubiquitous
are you sure they weren't gonna compliment you on moving past amazon shorts and got put off by you being defensive?
No, it was definitely an awkward "ok, you do you i guess" smile. I think he even said something about wearing something else. This has happened multiple times.
It's 5:30AM and all indoor lighting is garbage here (again I live with my parents) so can't get pics. And all my shirts except the pink ones are from when I weighed 20-40kg more so they're all super loose now, hence buying the pink ones.
I think I'm explaining pretty clearly... there's a nearly limitless amount of possible clothing I could buy, and beyond the class of stuff that's obviously inappropriate for an adult male to wear (tutus and tiaras) I have no idea what to do. The feedback I get is what not to do. My guess is the request for a pic is in the interest of exactly that end as well: to judge whether what I'm currently doing makes sense. After 33 years of that shit I finally realized it has no value (so yes I guess I'm pretty dense) because with infinity choices I could spend years failing (I have) and end up narrowing down the decision space by literally nothing.
Yes someone gets it.
I dont understand how you fail at wearing jeans and a t shirt, I wasnt aware there was a tier below that consisting of amazon brand sports clothing and crossfit shoes, and you are in that tier. shocking.
When I leave the house for something other than gym I still do jeans and a T shirt and New Balance sneakers. Mostly because I'm self-conscious about my BWC making a bulge in my gym shorts, but I can see the gym tomboy's nipple piercings and the gym troony wears their fake pigtails so I figure it's fair game.
Is there a guide to uglymaxxing in this way? If there's a way I can dress that makes it clear I don't give a frick because I have other priorities, that might be the solution.
Ok now I know you're trolling
>just look at other people bro
I don't know if what they're wearing looks good or makes sense either. See the problem yet?
This reads like astrology. Also
>yeah i just did it naturally with no training
Congrats brah
>combat boots
Ah another troll. Also aren't graphic tees for 5 year olds? That's another thing I'd get shit on for.
>Ok now I know you're trolling
>>just look at other people bro
>I don't know if what they're wearing looks good or makes sense either. See the problem yet?
Well let's apply some common sense here, my autistic friend:
>these people are telling you what you wear looks bad
>these same people are wearing different clothes
>people generally don't wear clothes they think look bad on purpose, especially if they consider themselves fashion-conscious
>therefore, we can safely conclude that whatever these people are wearing is what they have in mind for good looking clothes
Your logic makes sense, but those interactions were a decade ago so I can't remember what they wore. I think skinny jeans and dark-colored button-up shirts, but they were also skinny Asians with glasses so if I'm understanding the astrology in
that probably wouldn't work on a pink-skinned white dude with a little muscle. The biggest gigachad I knew in grad school wore jeans, sneakers, and a plain t shirt (I miss you Evan, no homo), maybe that's why I gravitate to the same. Honestly the pink shirts are an upgrade cuz I also moved from regular fit to slim fit, and regular fit made my shirts balloon out over my belly so I'd look fat despite having a 6 pack. I also figure that if I don't know how to look like everyone else, I might as well have something unique about how I look, hence the pink. I also hope it makes me look like less of a serial killer since I feel like I have that face and I'm often angry.
I spent 10 years at UCLA immersed in it, but I didn't even notice clothes. I'm the type of homie who watched Gossip Girl with the ex and thought it was just a show about people being absolute shitheads to each other but still spending time together for some reason. Now I have no social life (5 year abusive marriage) and walking around malls observing what people are wearing would definitely get me thrown out or arrested.
I'd be more than happy to do [2] if any of it wasn't shilling and could break things down for an autist, but of course that's not the case.
See above, that's kinda the idea with the pink.
Will try the cataloguing thing at my next conference, thank you for the useful advice. I don't know what "heathered" is (who is Heather?) but I can work from physical descriptions. I'll think about the books thing; as an author myself I know how stuck up their own ass authors can be so my guess is it's mostly "just wear what looks good" or astrology but I'll keep my eyes out. Also agree with
>I don't know what "heathered" is (who is Heather?) but I can work from physical descriptions.
He was literally describing the OP image lmao. 'Heathered' is that sort of broken up, grainy look to a color rather than being just a plain solid.
Clever, I didn't even realize he was talking about OP. Thanks fren
>hat probably wouldn't work on a pink-skinned white dude with a little muscle.

My link was just to raise awareness that colours can match you or not.
For me white looks bad, or anything light. Dark and warm (dark brown, dark blue etc) looks best on me. Since you are pink-skinned white, pink probably suits you.
Sounds like Adam Sandler-core is for (you). Just give your look a ‘core’ name and that makes it an ‘aesthetic’. That’s how modern style works really. Independent style is dead just act like you’re adopting a ‘core’, even if it is just your own style. Alternatively, find a core that suits you better
>This reads like astrology. Also
>yeah i just did it naturally with no training
All this shittalking from some homosexual only wearing jeans and a shirt. This shit flows in the US where everybody clothes himself like a moron. Not in EU.
>Is there a guide to uglymaxxing in this way?
have you tried wearing amazon sport clothes and pink t-shirts? lmao
Cool, then I'm already on the path. Thanks broseidon.
mmmkay, one piece of practical advice before I go to my real job. I know that being "neurodivergent" (i.e., moronic) carries a lot of diversity capital with your colleagues; however, like most products of academia, it has zero practical value. So the goal here is to get you to at least look like a normal person, not for you to get pity points from IST.
Here's what you do: next time you are on campus, at a function, etc. make a mental list of every guy you see and what they are wearing. When you get home write it out or put it in a word processor. It doesn't have to look pretty but it needs to be detailed.
>Insufferable homosexual #1
>at a work function
>tall, slim build, dark hair, tan skin
>blue striped shirt, gray heathered sports coat, light tan khaki pants, brown loafers
>Dweeb with Head Up His Own Ass #2
>in the cafeteria
>medium height, portly, light hair, pale skin
>pink T-shirt, Amazon blue jeans, tennis shoes
And so on and so forth.
Once you get a decent set of data, you are going to use your Rain Man powers to look for patterns. You can make a spreadsheet or pivot table or whatever. I don't care. You are looking for people with certain skin colors who wear certain clothing colors, people who match one item with another, people with similar builds who wear similar clothes, etc. This, when matched with your own physical attributes, will give you an idea of what works for you.
One last hail mary. Typically colleges have the buildings called "libraries" that store information in bound volumes that can be shared between people and across time. If you look hard and ask the purple-haired lesbian up front they will likely have some on men's fashion. You will also find that it has practical rules and tells you why you would do what you do, so you can actually learn why people dress the way they do instead of assuming that they all popped out of the womb endowed with this knowledge.
Kek, some good one liners in this post anon.
This was when I lived in west Los Angeles. Wait, it depends on geographical location too?
>verification not required
Tbh in academia, you can literally wear baggy cargo shorts with some graphic tee and not look that out of place. People may judge you for it, others may regard your ability inversely to how well you dress yourself
graphics t and cargo pants on a fit guy would look better than pink amazon clothing, especially if you paired it with some nice combat boots
>nice combat boots
Lmao they’d wear them with autism sneakers at best, flip flops or some other practical shoes maybe. I tried to dress well during grad school but some days you rock up in whatever’s clean
post an example of one of your fits, they cant be that bad
>I literally and unironically went into academia thinking I'd be judged for my work and contributions,
lol
lmao
Academia is sick with politics, way worse than private sector.
Based autist.
Trial and error, Anon. You don't need to follow a list or a specific trend in fashion necessarily. If there's a mall or a department store near you, go there every now and then to try on different clothes. You don't need to buy every clothes that you try on, and if you feel pressured, start with fast fashion brands like H&M, Zara, etc.
>went into academia thinking I'd be judged for my work and contributions
Oof... That was me almost a decade ago. I learned it was 30% work 70% politics the hard way. Am doing okay now but man having my ideals shattered and snapping back to reality sucked. You're gonna be okay as long as you keep doing what you're doing. Trying new things is great but don't try to lose what you're good at in the process. WAGMI
I'm going to assume you're genuinely trying to help and not trolling, but do you notice how your fashion advice is exactly what I explained is not helpful?
>just try stuff on and see what looks good
I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO KNOW. Here's an analogy: let's say you don't know any Russian, you don't even know the Cyrillic alphabet, but you learn that for social reasons you need to start writing Russian poetry. Your post is like saying "just find a Russian book and start writing some letters together and see what looks good".
I knew there'd be some politics in academia, but it's most liberal don't-talk-about-race-and-IQ shit which is pretty easy to work with for me. It's funny that I can navigate the political part perfectly despite being closer to natsoc than anything (yes many of your professors are secretly based, I know fellow travelers so I'm definitely not the only one), but I don't get this. That's why I think it's developmental.
>I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO KNOW.

Your post is like saying "just find a Russian book and start writing some letters together and see what looks good".
Your analogy falls flat friend, because in your scenario you have to have mastery of a skillset (reading and writing in another language).
All YOU have to do here is actually pay attention to how people dress and see what they wear and what they don't.
https://theconceptwardrobe.com/colour-analysis-comprehensive-guides/complete-seasonal-guides
Also check yourself, colours make a difference. Most people intuitively pick what looks better on them. I did at least, already before I read about this stuff. I tried different stuff and didn't like it. THEN read this and yeah, I guess I know now why I didn't like things I previously didn't pick.
Not trolling. In terms of language learning, there's two ways to approach it. [1] Either you immerse yourself in an environment where that language is abundant. (Living in China for example. Even if you don't know Chinese, first, you would try to convey what you want with simple gestures, then the Natives will reply back with their gestures accompanied by simple words. You incrementaly learn their language in the process.) That's how it was done historically on the Silk Road and that is why I said, "Trial and Error." I didn't say it was going to be easy or fast. You have to be surrounded by clothes to know them. And obviously, I can only be vague because I don't know you so I can't tell you what you'd like. [2] Or you learn a language by taking lectures, reading books, watching/reading movies/books made in the target language. I didn't suggest this method because it seemed like you don't want to follow what the designers say is trendy or what the advertisements tell you to buy. So [1] is the way.
Then [2] is the way for you, Anon.
>happy to do [2] if any of it wasn't shilling
Well, you have to admit most people on this Icelandic worm-hunting forum are here for shits and giggles (at least I am) but sometimes give out advice and get information while doing so. Why would it be different for clothes and fashion? Yes, there are shills out there but you'd learn what's shit-posting and what's useful in [2]'s process.
Pottery.
Again I'd love to do [2] but fashion seems particularly bad about this.

>color wheel astrology, shilling, and just-dress-well
Other random question: how important is fit compared to things like texture, style, "heather", etc.? I think I can get a handle on fit at least.
>how important is fit compared to...
If you're IST and your clothes fit right, I think that alone is 70% of the job done.
>Fit
Have a tailor (or a friend, family member, yourself with scotch tape) take your measurements with a well... measuring tape. Google which places to measure and compare your measurements to the clothes' measurement.
>Color
>color wheel astrology
I'm ashamed to say I believe the color wheel, Anon. The sky is blue and the grass is green and some colors go well with each other. I'm not asking you to go to a "color astrologist" but if you have a color-calibrated monitor or device (most smartphones these days would do) open up a color wheel and compare your skin tone to the examples.
>Texture
"Heather" and the likes is a sort of texture weave... An easy way for texture is to look up the textile composition and match them as close as possible. Cotton tops go well with cotton bottoms. Polyester tops go well with polyester bottoms. Match the textile composition of your top and bottom, and I think you're good to go. When I said tops, I meant shirts and t-shirts. Outers (leather jackets for example) can be of a different texture, textile. And don't overdo or mix distinct textile weaves.
>Style
Another way of saying function really. Dress for the occasion.
I think Fit > Style >= Color > Texture. Follow his advice
for real-life applications and learn to sort and categorize clothes by looking up different sorts of Fits, Color Matching, Texture (Textile, Weave), Style (Functions, Occasion). I don't do [2] so this is as much as I know, Anon.
Thanks this is super helpful, I'm saving this thread when I'm done. Here's a vaporwave for your trouble.
Thanks for the relaxing sax, Anon. WAGMI
Literal autism or aspergers or something
>There's literally no going back
Literally just go to a Men's Warehouse, find the oldest worker (young people are dumb), and ask for help. He'll get your measurements and find you a shirt and pants and they'll even alter them if it needs if be altered.
>hey you should really email the interviewers after your interviews to thank them and show continued interest
Yeah the white collar world is moronic. The interview is like 80% about seeing if you can repeat the right answers and do the right steps. They want to know you're desperate enough to learn and follow the script even though it's obviously moronic. They want "continued interest" because they want to see you on your knees begging for the job. Someone who is desperate is less likely to walk away when they're treated like shit.
This strategy seems pretty low-risk. Thank you. This can at least maybe help with my next conference. I'm guessing I shouldn't ask what looks good, but just about the objective stuff like measurements and sizing?
First thing they're gonna do is take a couple of measurements and have you try on a few things to check fit, then you can discuss what looks good or what sort of event or situation you're buying clothes for.
Thanks chief.
Also, if you're just starting out with a professional wardrobe, it's hard top go wrong with a classic navy blazer or sportscoat, pairs well with gray or black slacks but also khakis and even jeans. Very versatile. Also get some nice ties while you're there, and for frick's sake, get proper dress shirts, not the stupid button down collar kind. The collar should come to nice points, and you need to match the width of the opening with the width of your tie/knot. If it's got a wide spread it'll look dumb with a skinny tie and four in hand knot. In that situation you'd want a fat tie and a full windsor knot. And the reverse as well, narrow spread, narrow knot/tie.
I've been told that full Windsor is only for the bosses; I'm only assistant professor, would it be a mistake to do this? I know how to tie one and prefer them to the homosexual halfsies.
Also
>get proper dress shirts, not the stupid button down collar kind. The collar should come to nice points
This is the kind of unhelpful "just do it right" stuff I'm talking about.
Otherwise good tips!
And the demoralization is back. I had picked out a store to go to and everything, now I learn they're shit. Do you think I can do the same strategy as
with Dillard's?
Never mind, the nearest Dillard's is 2 hours away. Guess I'm stuck with shit.
Don't worry too much about Dillard's, that was just more of a note that that's where I've had the best luck with quality shirts. I wasn't suggesting to go there in lieu of Men's Warehouse, and really Men's Warehouse shirts are adequate I just don't find them as nice as I would prefer but also I'm very hairy and my chest hair often shows through thinner shirts and I don't care for undershirts.
>I've been told that full Windsor is only for the bosses; I'm only assistant professor, would it be a mistake to do this? I know how to tie one and prefer them to the homosexual halfsies.
Well sort it's definitely a more luxurious knot, but there's no actual rule like that. Honestly I mostly do the half windsor but that's more because I'm tall and it's hard enough to find a tie that's long enough without taking even more into the knot. The more important thing is just to fit your collar spread to your tie width and knot. Also don't get super wide ties, they look very outdated and goofy, but neither get a really skinny tie, they look gay and hipstery.
>This is the kind of unhelpful "just do it right" stuff I'm talking about.
Well, just don't wear a button down collar with a tie, or with a jacket for that matter. Button down collars are more casual and imo ugly and nerdy looking. That's the sort of thing you'd wear with khakis (not khaki slacks, the other kind) on a casual Friday or something, but in that casual environment you might as well just go with a golf shirt.

She doesn't show much of herself. As long as you're not into men wearing kinda fruity outfits you'll be fine.
Ashley Weston is very helpful. She definitely hardfocuses on preppy/city-slicker fashion (not much advice for people who live in the sticks), but she does go to the trouble of actually explaining what will look good on different body types.

>i don't know how to dress myself good
HURR HOW DARE YOU DURR FRICKING AUTISM
To their credit, they probably are fricked up in other aspects, but you really need the whole skillset or it's over tho. So maybe they can dress themselves, maybe they can train and get a nice body, maybe they can get laid or a stable rewarding relationship, maybe they can have a good career, but most likely some aspect of that went wrong for them to end up here. Then they flex with what they have, because in a single thread that's all you're known for. Or it's just shitposting, which I'm leaning towards.
The secret to dressing good is having broad shoulders, a tight waist, and being tall. Almost anything looks good on me
>The secret to dressing good is having broad shoulders, a tight waist
This sucks when it comes to dressing well, I need to buy extra slim fit or else my waist fits 4 times in a shirt when my shoulders barely fit in. In other words there are barely any clothes being sold for people who are in shape like me.
I'll also say, if you're in the US, check Dillard's for nice shirts, Men's Warehouse mostly has thin poly-blend stretch shit. Only at Dillard's was I able to find high quality, thick, opaque, cotton shirts.
I don't wear suits because its not 1945 and my work doesn't require it
That's not a suit
Nope 🙂
i rotate between two pairs of jeans which are both hand-me-downs from my dad, i wear the exact same white t shirt everyday and tell people i just have several and i rotate them frequently and i have worn the exact same jacket for 12 years

I don't even see how anyone could say I'm tryharding. I never talk about the lifting, MMA, or guns unless someone else mentions those. I don't to anything to bring specific attention to my clothes, and the most I say if anyone asks is "Ah, I just wanted to dress my age a bit." What was the point of it all, IST?
You’re making people feel like man babies (and that’s a good thing)
>start buying clothes that look more adult (button downs, polos, slacks, Oxfords and loafers, etc.)
People only wear that if they're preppy rich boys or at work. That's why they're commenting on it.
but when I got the passover comment I was literally coming home from work
Well, have you thought about not being israeli?
Your old "friends" are just acting like crabs in a bucket. People just hate it when people around them change, especially for the better.
No. I mean, I do, but I can't get anything that fits.
>Buy a dress shirt in Small

t. 5'7" 105 lbs.
Past a certain age I just started wearing whatever my mom gets me for Christmas. She's my size and thus able to pick out clothes that fits. Previously I'd buy fancy T-shirts on the Internet that I desperately wanted and insist on wearing them out even though I looked like a kid who'd fallen in a pool and had to borrow my older relatives clothes.
>feel like I'm wearing a hospital gown that's wide enough for two anons to fit inside of
Thank size inflation, I have a BMI of 32 and (would) have to buy slim fit to get something that's not enormously baggy (sadly I'm tall enough to need the big and tall section and they only tend to have 'classic cut' in tall sizes, I could probably take 2 yards of excess fabric out of that shit before it fits right). Now there's even ultra slim fits, maybe try that.
i dont get ur post.. Guy on the left has no idea how to dress..
This fit is unironically better than 100% of other IST posters.
I don’t know if they all live in flyover country or they’re all just lower class, or?
literally nothing in that picture is tailored, look like a used car salesman. Is this a joke? Did you actually go spend $70 at macy's on some business casual and think it was looking crisp? XD
still waiting for you to post fit…
>everyone who makes fun of me is the same person
so this wasn't a joke after all...wow
>posting the most 2000's dad fit i've ever seen
might just be because im gen z and still in college, but varsity and bomber jackets, decent shirts, chinos or jeans and converses and basically generic streetwear shit has gotten me enough compliments
>varsity and bomber jackets
Those are back in style now?
For the most part. A lot of the alt male fashion or streetwear fashion that actually looks good on most people is basically just 90's shit, at least for my generation.
I dress like a slob and am lonely. Though a girl recently told me I have a nice body and that I remind her of Snufkin. She also told me that we can't be a couple.
>you know how to dress yourself
Why yes, yes I do. I've been doing it for 25 years now. I'm actually pretty good at it, too. Any other questions, you gigantic homosexual?
>put a lot of work in the gym and in the wardrobe to make myself look good
>still khv
>go to walmart and see fat dude wearing basketball shorts, crocs, and a graphic tee with a girlfriend and/or kid
it's moments like these where I realize appearance doesn't mean jackshit
They just have something we don't. Nobody can characterize it, it just happens. Let the existential rage that these kind of encounters produce happen, over time your brain will tire of being impotently angry over things you can't control and you'll be depressed but able to focus on tangible goals (e.g., house in the mountains with home gym and StarLink internet) rather than unreachable goals (social normalcy, sexual relationships, reproduction). It's fricking hard and I can't tell you it gets better but eventually you become a callous hardened shell who at least has some things that matter to them.
>They just have something we don't
Neurotypicality, that's it
Probably. That's why I'm trying to focus on my competencies and fly under the radar everywhere else; can't change how I'm put together mentally (physically is hard enough), but I can capitalize on what I have and maybe end up somewhere nice.
Oh, and music. Music is nice.
Why are these types of posts always so triggering for you, IST?
Do you think, maybe, you’ve got some unresolved issues around the more social side of things?
>enter thread of morons talking about their moronation
>"are you guys moronic or something"

I have friends despite my appearance because I maintain a decent personality. Until I figure out my skin and clothes, I'll still look a bit off. Hair's on point though, silky and flowing.
sweatpants + plain t shirt or gym shorts + plain t shirt is the most goated fit and nothing can change my mind. it's comfy and looks good if you're not a lardass, i don't care about your 'business casual', suck my dick
