I completely agree that they should. Recognize though that other people are going to find some things more attractive than others. That's okay - we're not obligated to dress in a way others find attractive - but many people do care about being attractive.
It was surf shorts and button down shirts all unbuttoned and long hair, just bumbling around drunk and happy in the grocery store like Jeff Lebowski. I was fit though yes. If I went in drunk with shirt unbuttoned today someone would probably get the manager out to talk with me about it.
Damn bro you hot as fuck no homo. Like shit man, you rocking that shirt like you belong in a museum of sexy ass motherfuckers no homo. Damn man if I was into dudes, I'd want your body all over mines no homo.
Superman doesnt wear a thong though. Plus, he's an alien so maybe he has a super skin that doesn't get irritated from chafing?
I'm merely human, so my skin wouldn't appreciate having the seam of my leggings pushed up my asscrack while working out or whatever they were doing in those outfits back then.
Yeah well Superman was fighting crime, and wearing briefs over leggings might not get into his asscrack, but I assume he has a ballsack. I’d much rather have a nice thong up my ass than my balls wrapped in tightly whites with some leggings all bunched up in there. I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. Unless Superman doesn’t have a scrotum and testicles, in which case I fully concede.
Maybe superman has super testicles? Briefs over leggings would hurt a normal dude but not him?
Or maybe his briefs only hurt his nuts if kryptonite is near him?
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.
Yeah, I think that the 80s were a stylistic low point in western history. Everything looked bad from the clothes, to hair styles, to electronics, to cars, to home decor (though that specific area bottomed out before the 80s and was on its way up).
True, but postulating heteros can't wear midriffs is a super weird take. It does come off as homophobic whether or not that was the intention.
edit: Now that I've thought about it, every male character I've seen in a movie dressed like this was portrayed as heterosexual. So croptops are actually a hetero fashion trend. You should embrace it!

Okay, if you think that's a good idea
Shorts are too long.
you may not like it but this is what the peak male athletic form looks like
I can't wait to let my wife know
She knows
Don't body shame, some people are into that body.
Quite a lot of people; if op is feeling unconfident in their body, I'd recommend them just looking at the thirst for bears lol
some of them are about 3.5 inches into that body, if you know what I mean.
I think I wanna wear yoga pants to really complete the look lol
I'm into it
This is a good idea. People should be allowed to wear whatever tf they want.
I completely agree that they should. Recognize though that other people are going to find some things more attractive than others. That's okay - we're not obligated to dress in a way others find attractive - but many people do care about being attractive.
A belly has developed
This.
Bubble gut and Jorts isn't exactly a good look.
Oh it's a look, alright but not a good one.
The thighs have paled
Does this mean that you did dress like this in the 90s?
It was surf shorts and button down shirts all unbuttoned and long hair, just bumbling around drunk and happy in the grocery store like Jeff Lebowski. I was fit though yes. If I went in drunk with shirt unbuttoned today someone would probably get the manager out to talk with me about it.
Sure some wouldn't like that look, but some would
Because body positivity doesn't exist for men.
I was going to say, because I don't have the stomach of a half starved gym rat. But yours is also good.
Hey my dude. I'll cat call you if you want.
Damn bro you hot as fuck no homo. Like shit man, you rocking that shirt like you belong in a museum of sexy ass motherfuckers no homo. Damn man if I was into dudes, I'd want your body all over mines no homo.
Anyways have a nice day.
That was sweet of you 🙂
Can we do this but homo
Bingo.
Is Reno 911 the more recent example of this?
To provide some perspective/existential dread, that character was introduced over 20 years ago.
NO! You can't say that. It defies all know time logic.
I'm not really looking to attract other men at this time
It's not gay enough anymore.
So?
A beer belly
Because I'm currently dressed like a skateboarder from the 90's and it's so very comfortable.
Women what’s stopping you from dressing like 80s horror movie hotties?
Nobody puts shoulder pads like that on dresses anymore
I don't like wearing thong leotards over my leggings. It'll shove my leggings up my buttcrack and be super uncomfortable.
Superman wore briefs over his leggings and you don’t see him complaining about it.
Superman doesnt wear a thong though. Plus, he's an alien so maybe he has a super skin that doesn't get irritated from chafing?

Or maybe his briefs only hurt his nuts if kryptonite is near him?
On Krypton people wear boxers underneath their pants.
He's nigh invincible. It would take a lot more than that to make him uncomfortable! Kryptonite underwear, maybe.
Of course dressing like 80's horror movie hunks. Crop tops and jean mommy shorts.
Have you seen those movies and what happens to the guys dressed like that?
Try again, Freddy / Jason / Michael / motherfucker
High fructose corn syrup.
My gross body
I think you look hawt.
Because I did that in the 80s, so now I don't, to protect the public from trauma.
Those socks are weirdly nostalgic for me, but I can't quite recall when I quit wearing them for some reason.
Right before 1990 as grunge became a thing.
Because people don't look like they did in the 80's anymore.
Mostly homophobia I would guess.
Shame, mostly shame.
My dad bod. I used to wear short shorts and didn't care if my shirt rode up
I still do, but I used to, too.
Thanks Mitch
Dad bod though?
Belly too fat for the cut off shirt; ass not fat enough for the cut off shorts.
Wear the shorts on your chest and the shirt on your butt?
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.
Survivorship bias…
I'll spare the public from having to see my hairy gut and cheeks
I'm a twink not a hunk
Im a trunk.
I'm a thunk.
I'm turning 30 in January, and I'm quite self concious of my belly :(
You are hawt.
Thanks friend, I'm sure I am but I still wanna reach my weight goal this year if I can
I believe in you.
30 in January twinsies!
Cause I'd look like a mustard tiger selling greasy cheeseburgers
Whatcha lookin at my gut fer?
The weather
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.
Yeah, I think that the 80s were a stylistic low point in western history. Everything looked bad from the clothes, to hair styles, to electronics, to cars, to home decor (though that specific area bottomed out before the 80s and was on its way up).
The music though!
The next generation always says the previous generation had no style. Or else we wouldn't call it a trend
because straight men are terrified of appearing gay.
Men that are comfortable with their body dgaf.
i think it's a fashion thing and those kind of men probably wouldn't bother with a shirt
Maybe ones that aren't looking for a relationship. I imagine this wouldn't be a good advertisement if they are.
If I dressed like that, I would not look gay at all. I would look EVEN MORE like a dad.
exactly; they won't look gay, but they think they will for some reason.
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.
Scars are cool
war wounds or caesarian?
And yes I know Julius wasn't delivered this way
Julius was the twin, Alex was the pregnant man.
Social contracts about decency.
Are you ok, comments? Check your body dysphoria, if you can, that isn't healthy.
Of course we are not.
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
Rofl
good taste, better judgment, dignity
Bouncers would make you change
Bounce this (does elaborate football move, succeeding on the third attempt) ha (visibly out of breath)
You are. I wouldn't want to make you have to look at that.
Someone's never been to a rugby game...
It's like prime Larry Byrd era NBA short shorts.
Pockets. I like pockets.
Joke's on you, kids do this now and have short longs
The exposed hernia belt isn't sexy.
Googled it and found only things like this.
Abs I guess
Nobody should dress like that. Ever.
I'm going to dress like this and follow you around
who says i don't?
Pics or it didn't happen.
Who says I don't?
Body shaming, mostly.
Heterosexuality.
So, toxic masculinity and homophobia.
I mean
Jesus, get your head examined. Being a straight male doesn't make someone the enemy.
True, but postulating heteros can't wear midriffs is a super weird take. It does come off as homophobic whether or not that was the intention.
edit: Now that I've thought about it, every male character I've seen in a movie dressed like this was portrayed as heterosexual. So croptops are actually a hetero fashion trend. You should embrace it!
This is not what they are saying in the slightest.
I didn't say you were the enemy. I said you've internalized aspects of toxic masculinity and homophobia.
You'll find that the nature of society means every man must struggle with these things on their journey.
good taste.
Its to cold
Ozempic prices
That drug hospitalized my SO.
Same reason women don't look like unreasonably attractive actresses?
Styles have changed. That looks silly now
