Because body positivity doesn't exist for men.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years 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 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

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

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

High fructose corn syrup.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 31 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Eol@sh.itjust.works 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not gay enough anymore.

Mostly homophobia I would guess.

A lack of 80s beach babes who would enjoy this kind out outfit

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

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Nobody puts shoulder pads like that on dresses anymore

[–] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (6 children)

I don't like wearing thong leotards over my leggings. It'll shove my leggings up my buttcrack and be super uncomfortable.

Survivorship bias…

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years 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.

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.

I'm turning 30 in January, and I'm quite self concious of my belly :(

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

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rayspekt@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

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

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Social contracts about decency.

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

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

Try again, Freddy / Jason / Michael / motherfucker

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

I'm a twink not a hunk

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because people don't look like they did in the 80's anymore.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (5 children)

because straight men are terrified of appearing gay.
