…I like my pink shirt.
…and my girl pants. They’re black velvet and gorgeous.
I don’t combine the two, though.

Aren’t you being a bit judgemental? Is it because you’re on the bandwagon?
LOL! I don’t care what people do. I think it’s funny and absurd! I think these new-age guys (mirls, metros, hermaphrodudes) are hilarious! They don’t want to be men any more. They dress and act like women and think it’s going to help them score. But just like the “Stripped Shirt” article (that was hilarious), they end up doing the same thing!
It’s funny how the new trends are always something from 20 years ago. But sometimes, certain things shouldn’t make a come-back (parachute pants, ripped jeans, collars popped up, etc.).
I always dress comfortably, and it’s usually pretty basic stuff. And even if it is not “in style” at the moment, within a short period of time, it will be. But I don’t follow trends or fads like popped collars (I did that in 3rd grade - 1983 - …it wasn’t cool then, it isn’t cool now!) or wearing girls clothes passed off as men’s fashion. Sorry, but women’s clothes just wouldn’t be comfortable.
I know guys who do that too! They shopped at Express (before it was Express for Men as well). They actually bought girls pants and jackets! I laughed when I found that out. Sure, they were complete metros and tried to hook up with ladies, but I think once they got undressed, the ladies realized that they were more like girls than just the clothes they wore! LOL!
Why guys are following these new trends is beside me. Why not be proud to be a man? You can dress very well, and not have to resort to women’s clothes or style. And really, pink shirts are not cool.

LMAO! I walked into that one.
I figured it out, you guys. I KNOW where the phenomenon started! I know who is responsible!!!
The Fab 5… The hosts of Queer Eye For The Straight Guy!
It’s all their fault!!!
Do not under any circumstances wear paisley print form-fitting pants. EVER.
For a real treat imagine the song “Bobby Brown” by Frank Zappa every time you see one of those collar poppers. Either that or “Broken Hearts Are For Assholes”. They’re interchangeable. Either way it cracks me up to no end.

Bro, I was using fabulous irony, model 4000… And I made up a new sassy spectacular term for gay, instead of insinuating mansex. I actually thought it was funny, in a tongue in cheek kind of way. My real point was that I really don’t care if people wear pink shirts or whatever. I don’t, but itt doesn’t bother me. That “white after labor day” thing was from a trailer for the Dukes of Hazzard movie. Don’t take yourselves too seriously now.
Now let’s all do power cleans and hug long and lovingly after. Especially that guy that sees red. You sound like a handful, sugarpants.

Great country. No wonder Osama loves it so much. [/quote]
Osama would have these guys stoned to death. Keep the politics in the political forum.
Maybe these guys pop their collars because they don’t want sunburned necks.
I can’t figure out the girls pants though. I always thought “getting into a chicks pants” meant having sex.
I have to agree I usually point and laugh at these clowns, but let’s not diss Express please their 1MX shirts are the nicest shirts I’ve ever worn. They taper unlike regular shirts so if you have a build it shows it off a little better.
I have a question though, when did it become ok to wear white t-shirts and jeans to a club? I went out last Sat and all the college guys where dressed that way, I felt out of place with my nice shirt and pants

I knew someone would get bent on this casual social observation.
I think Snoop’s brother Nate wrapped it up nicely.
But you realize that this merely fits in with the degradation of American society. In the big picture, one more collar popping mirl doesn’t amount to “jack squat” [Chris Farley voice]. BUT, bit by bit, piece by piece, and day by day, our fabric fades. The eventual result of this (de-)evolution process looks something like France or the Netherlands.
Maybe that’s a little overboard, but this thread is not JUST about being judgemental. I choose to not stand idly by and “accept” everything - particularly when it is this gay, and I mean that in “the mansex type of way”.
Bastard!
I haven’t yet to see one person wear their collars up…
I guess that might be because I’m not in high school and I don’t go to the bars anymore…
Also, what’s “pegging” mean in regards to pants?

Maybe they pop their collars so their bra doesn’t show when it rides up on them…
Seems whenever this topic comes up, people get hot under the collar… okay, I apologize for that pun.
Here’s an Atomic Dog where TC refers to a thread on the topic:

Here’s a good one I heard. A high school banned the color pink because they said it’s a gang color. Boys at this high school cannot were pink shirts.[/quote]
This happened at my high school last year. Hispanic boys and girls werent allowed to wear pink because our principal heard of a hispanic gang that wore pink. The next day half our school wore pink clothes just to spite our principal. She made them either change, or go home, or refuse to do either and get suspended. It was the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.
The thing that worries me about fashions coming back around is the possibilty that the MULLET may become mainstream again.
Pink shirts I can deal with, hell even stone washed jeans are tolerable. BUT NO FUCKING MULLETS.
Been there, did that, ashamed of myself for it.

Wow. Now the tables are turned … I think I’ll have to embrace the mullet WHEN (not if, but when) it honors us with a most triumphant return. Mullets are beyond the ubergay to the point of absolute coolness. Simply nodding the head forward and back and as a result having hair flip flop perfectly out of phase is awesome.
Plus, with a mustache and cut-off jean shorts, I’ll be the epitome of “stud-muffin”. Yes, I will drive a T-top Trans-Am or Firebird. Yes, one headlight will be stuck in the up position. And finally, yes, the eintire ceiling will have come unglued only to be hanging by the plastic frames around the doors, windows, and inoperable interior light.
Bastard!
I didnt think that anyone felt the same way i do about these latest “trends” i agree with you about the gayness in todays society.

Although this trend may be effeminate, it’s a lot better than that teenage fashion statement of wearing pants 10 sizes too big half-way down their asses with their underwear showing.[/quote]
A couple of months ago I watched two kids jump out of a car in front of my house and try to run from the cops. One was wearing “normal” shorts. He jumped the neighbor’s fence and got away. The other one had on the typical jeans with the crotch at his knees. He managed to shuffle about 50 feet before they caught him.

I guess you did… kind of handed it to me on a silver platter. And the best thing is, I didn’t even have to dig up an old snatch joke for this one…
