You have to use the bed at night (or during the day for a debuff if you don’t have the night owl characteristic), there’s a random chance a dream sequence will initiate and give you other POVs.

actually i just (16 hours ago, just put the two things together in my head) had my first dream that I'm aware of where i possessed someone else's viewpoint, so being aware of that possibility is definitely important. first time being a woman too.

I’m a little scared to ask WTF a “GigaStacy” is suppose to be.

Either the female equivalent of Gigachad, or a gal with a height of nine feet two grains.

Well in return I can be a big tiddy bf who watches anime and plays video games but not too much and can be her mom and her therapist

I remember a post where a guy was like “why does she get all dressed up to go out with her friends but with she just wears sweatpants?” and the “with me” clip had bro in basketball shorts, a t-shirt, and a baseball hat. One of the comments said something along the lines “she’s putting as much effort in as you are.”

Too many of us dudes have such garbo fashion sense they seem to believe that wearing a t-shirt without holes and their “nice shorts” is enough to start complaining about women and it’s just sad.

70

Also, are we talking about being at home, or going out on a date with the guy? If she's chilling at home of course she's gonna be in fucking sweatpants. Do you expect her to look like a TikTok influencer 24/7? Hell, even if it was an outing, if you're going to a regular, mom-and-pop diner or some shit, I also wouldn't expect someone to dress mega fancy, especially if you're already with them.

But yeah, don't wear a plain ass T-shirt and shorts to a nice date and expect your partner to always be ready to model for a fashion brand...

What is hilarious is when people come into an interview like a scrub. I understand you spent four hundred dollars on those basketball sneakers. But they're basketball sneakers. You didn't get the job because you obviously make bad decisions.

And to that end, dressing up nice enough for interview at most places shouldn’t even be that high a bar. Dark jeans and a nice button up, even one with patterns honestly, will probably be enough. After that, though, most jobs pay like shit and treat people worse than that so if they expect me to show up in a suit and jerk them off they can get bent.

I would personally avoid jeans but a polo and khakis would be 100% acceptable. I wouldn't discount someone in dark jeans. I had someone show up in designer ripped jeans. Just no, dude. This is a job interview.

gonna be honest. i have eclectic (okay weird) but pretty sharp fashion sense. going out with my wife is always an excuse to dress up. i don't understand this "wearing a t-shirt without holes and their “nice shorts” is enough to start complaining about women" but i'm fucking vain

13
feddit.org

Dressing up as a guy is kinda hard, the widely accepted options tend to have much less variety than women's fashion. You pretty much have to get weird to make it a little fun, and that's risky.

I guess that actually makes it easy to dress up, it's just depressingly boring.

14
lemmy.world

the acceptable shirts that come out of most clothing stores the last decade or two have been so godsdamned boring. i do most of my clothing shopping at thrift stores now and look for stuff that's easily tailored because that's the only place i'll find interesting fabric. well, there and nordstrom off the rack. i saw a jacket there a decade ago that i should've bought that was too fucking expensive and i have regretted not buying it to this day. i should have spent that $700 i have had at least $700 of regret by now.

edit: i don't have a lot of regrets but this is one of them.

11

One of the nicest jackets that I own was manufactured in the 1960s and has had quite the interesting life before I got it.

It's totally impractical since it has the shallowest pockets you've ever seen. It will absolutely not hold a phone.

There are a lot of dudes who basically just think that if they meet a bare minimum then they’re owed something. You can see it a lot just walking around and will probably notice it more as the percentage of chain restaurants and parking lots in the area goes up.

You and I might put more effort in but how we are doesn’t change how they are.

slrpnk.net

Now I'm deeply curious about your fashion sense. What's the weirdest item that you love and regularly wear?

3

that depends on your opinion. i have a bright bright bright coral linen blazer i've fallen in love with lately and i wear whenever the weather is cool enough. pair it with a loud enough patterned shirt and it's fantastic.

my bio family jokes that they find ugly stuff on the discount rack and when i put it on it looks good because it matches, but they just don't have the confidence to pull this stuff off.

Well in fairness men's fashion is essentially t-shirt or suit & tie. There really isn't the equivalent of what women get, that's why all the fashion designers make dresses, because men don't get any effort put into their fashion.

What is the male equivalent of dress shopping?

7

Well in fairness men's fashion is essentially t-shirt or suit & tie.

T-shirt is fairly versatile but men's fashion is not that limited.

9

I mean, that's really not true. Just look at the various male fashion advice communities, streetwear culture, etc. There's a huge variety in different styles of shirts, outerwear, layering, footwear, accessories, and pants. Hell, even t-shirts and denim have a huge variety in style and quality.

There's massive cultural pressure for women to be fashionable and wear the "right" clothes, a pressure men by and large don't have to deal with. Companies are one of the primary drivers of this pressure by manipulative marketing practices that that convince many women that they need the latest trends and fashions to be keep up.

All of it is bullshit meant to keep people spending money, ultimately. Fashion should be a form of personal expression and personality and by no means requires purchasing new clothing all of the time.

4

I totally agree that women get a lot more variety but there’s still all kinds of stuff we can do in between. Button up shirts with nice patterns are a huge way to bridge the gap, and you can tuck them in or not and even just leave them open with a t-shirt underneath. Wearing good glasses is important, and frankly we should just pretend those plain black rectangle ones don’t exist because they’re always the worst option. Head to a place like Zenni and it doesn’t have to be expensive(those expensive glasses are a racket).

I got a pair of black stud earrings a while ago and people were like “goddamn”. I know that’s a little more difficult, but it was a small and not too flashy change that made a big difference. A good haircut is also easy to get since you’re already going to the barber anyway, and I discovered beard brushes a while back which straighten out even very short beards and keep everything looking sharp.

There’s a LOT we can do even though we’re kinda limited in many other ways.

3

Diverse well fitting shirts and non-cargo pants from other materials than denim. More adventurous men can dive into different kinds of tunics, sweaters and such, can have accessories like neckerchieves and scarves, nice bags, footwear. You can play with colors and patterns... Men can have some fun with clothes too.

2

I know a guy who encountered this problem and answered it by wearing suits every day.

I actually really like when my so dresses like shit. I don't know why I find it so hot. Then we dress up for a dress code restaurant, come home and wear clothes with holes from parrots chewing the shoulders.

I’m in Canada. We’re basically the same height but you wear, what, an XL? And I got size 16 feet, so while I understand the struggle I also know that I can definitely get shoes that work(Steve Madden makes shoes that don’t look at all weird when sized up).

If you’re in Europe I’d be amazed if the Germans or Scandanavians haven’t addressed this issue. If you’re in East Asia well that’s gunna be interesting for sure, and if you’re in Africa I really just don’t have enough info to be of any use.

I'm Swedish, and the authorised height stops at 1m92 (I jest, but that's basically how it works, everything must be 'lagom'). I live in France so that doesn't help of course, but when I go home, I don't get lucky either.

My jeans size is like 34x36 BTW 😁 Or is it 36x34 ...

Waist goes first for jeans. I’m a ~33”x34”. My height is largely in the torso so jeans are a little easier, but 36” inseam is generally not too hard to find. I have good luck with Levis.

Getting longer pants is straightfoward enough but man I try to find shirts and stuff and it’s just rough. We have a brand in Canada called Eddie Bauer, maybe it’s elsewhere too I have no clue, and they’re awesome for coats and stuff.

We don't have standartization for dick sizes, but we do have it for boob sizes

sh.itjust.works

We don't snugly clothe dicks to the degree we do tits. Bras has to fit fairly snug to function correctly and that requires some level of precision. About the only thing that is snugly worn on the penis are condoms, which are very elastic.

I can think of one standard for dick size, and it's from NASA. Apollo astronauts wore external catheters for much of the mission, that is, a condom with a hose at the end for collecting urine. These came in three sizes but none of the astronauts would accept "small" or even "medium" so they were sized Large, Giant and Humongous.

Beyond that, like most male body parts, it is simply measured in inches.

This reminds me of how when I go shopping for eggs in the supermarket, they are sold in sizes of Large, X-Large, and Jumbo. Nobody wants to face the humiliation of buying a carton of small eggs.

2

It is my understanding that eggs graded as small or medium are usually sold to food factories. Think about an outfit like Jimmy Dean, how many tons of scrambled eggs do they make to a batch for all those frozen microwavable sausage and egg biscuits? Who cares how many individual eggs they have to crack?

3

Bras has to fit fairly snug to function correctly and that requires some level of precision.

Eh, it can be argued that the "function" of a bra is to allow women to adhere to the beauty standards set for them by men.

That being said, they still aren't made that precisely, cup sizes are kinda all over the place depending on brand, and even the band sizes (which are kinda sorta close to the actual inch measurement of your ribcage, but not quite) are variable. That's why bras have adjustable straps everywhere, and why if you haven't been professionally fitted for one, your bras probably don't fit you right.

lemmy.world

I think special undies based on penis size would be to confrontational for most men.

Also that would be expecting a level of engagement with clothing that most men simply don't have.

Not the looks, money or house help. Their ✨shining personality ✨? Don't worry ladies this alpha nice guy's on the market & just around the corner, lucky you!

I'm not saying it's all of them, but if you talk to some of these women they have this weird idea about masculinity, it's all dressed up but when you strip it all back it's all toxic.

Stuff about how it's unmanly to have a pet cat, and how they should drive a big expensive car, and should pay for everything. I have no idea where they get this stuff from but if that's how they think, then they are only going to get a scumbag man because they're the only met that actually conform to that view of masculinity.
