If you haven’t noticed, the “average woman” is overweight, getting fatter, and complains too much. Average is everywhere. You don’t even have to be anywhere near “above average” to catch “average”. If that is all you are looking for in life, what do people like that get out of this website?

Don’t guys wear those kinds of knickers/capris in the Caribbean? Or is that just in T.V. commercials similar to the way commercials portray girls in hawaii walking around in coconut bras?
Maybe he was trying to make a Caribbean fashion statement? Even if that were so, that would still be gay.
My sister’s Lithuanian boyfriend wore nice light linen capris all the time, they were slightly longer than women’s capris, and it was sizzlin hot…
oh, and, No I Really hate those Olrando Bloomy-boys…thats demasculation at its best…looked like those guys I was talking bout before that I beat up in elementary school…
Brad Pitt is just…I have tried to see how girls may like him but cant with him either. Russell Crowe is better…eh, actors…what can you do? They are not working out they are just acting stronger than they are.
aright enough boy-talk for me! Sorry to bore yall
Hey Julia, I’d be willing to bet that the boyfriend was “hawt”, not the pants. He could have worn anything and you would probably think he was “hawt”. Now with that in mind… think Brad Pitt. I’m using him because more women than not think he’s “hawt”. Now he could wear a douchebag on his head and a pair of pink pantyhose with purple polka dots and those women would still think he’s “hawt”. You can’t fuck up “hawtness” with clothing apperal. Can you?
I think my wife looks gorgeous even if she was covered in mud with with a fu-man-chu mustache glued to her face and a camels toe glued to her ‘you know what’. You can’t fuck up gorgeous people. They look good at all times. My wife thinking she looks like dogshit on her worst day is prettier than alot of people on their best day.

Well, I dont say “hawt” like all the preteeny…unsavory girls do-I say “sizzlin”-Im not a chicagoean here! Yup, your on the spot-I thought he was radioactive regardless of his clothin-but he was giving off some major heat waves in those capris…the linen kind looks more sophisticated or something I guess.
Now I dont know bout that Brat Pit stuff…Id think if he wasnt an actor and worked at Mcdonalds people wouldnt look twice at him (not offending any Mcdonalds workers here, well, Im trying not to at least) Just like if Tom Cruise wasnt an actor…he seems like he’d be one of those really hyperactive annoying cheerleader guys in high school/college that would always be saying stuff like “Thats ultra-cool maaan!!!” and giving you the willies and stuff. But I have a major different point of view I guess.
Hope your not relatin that fu-man-chu moustache with my precious jean shorts!! I see your point though-very wise-which you make after mentioning the funny moustache part…I have a picture of my jean shorts in my profile…Anyways…well, I have to respond to another other post now so I have to be submitting out of this particular one…so bye!

Humm … is this behaviour constant in high-T women? Sure doesn’t seem to be for the average woman:
Women on the other hand are not consistently attracted to very masculine looking men. However, a recent and very intriguing study found that women at the fertile phase of their menstrual cycle became more attracted to men with less feminized and more masculine faces (though not extremely masculinized).

First of all Mr Chill, did you change your avatar? Im not going to say anything about it…but it really can drive a person crazy Id think…
Anyways, that study must be somewhat of a good dose of bullshit because I couldnt ever see that being true with my brain. A good strong (track and field) thrower is the type Im aspiring to marry lol!
women naturally being attracted to the womanly???
Okay, maybe Average women feel too threatened/intimidated by the strength of masculinity, so they end up being attracted to less masculine men. I could Definitely see that. Definitely.
about Orlando Bloom again, why do you think his girlfriend, kate bosworth, has anorexia? Do you think she would be anorexic if he lifted wieghts, wasnt feminine looking, and would reassure her that her athletic body was beautiful? Guys have a big pull on things like that with some girls sometimes.

Bingo! Bango! Bongo! BOOM!
Why does every fucking problem on earth stem from someones insecure being? Why can’t people just accept the essence of themselves and just go with it? There is no need to wear fuckin’ capri pants because your dick is smaller than the brother next to ya, or your body isn’t as masculine as the football players is.
In other words, you can’t change who you are… all you can do is just go with it. No need to make statements about how much of a pansy you are by being trendy and showing your rainbow colors. Trust me buddy… we already know.
I think fashion is one of the biggest contributions in the paradox of progress. We have all kind of confusion going on now. Men wearing capri’s… hey if you like it, I’m sure you won’t mind the rest of the world laughing at your pansy ass either.
All you college students that are thinking about majoring in fashion… go major in something different that’s actually going to contribute to the world, not fuck it up.
We don’t need men wearing skirts for the next fashion because some Scots wear kilts.

I agree. Without sounding elitist, one should never settle for average. Isn’t that one of the main goals in life : levelling up, and helping those around you level up, too?

Thanks man. But maybe we’re wrong. We’re just “internet badasses,” or “keyboard commandos.” No one could possibly live the way MEN talk around here.

What gets me most about that thinking…is that it isn’t like there are posts being made about walking down the street with an assault rifle and picking off people in capris pants. Is standing up for yourself now being an “internet badass”. I thought it was simply part of being a grown up. To the people who even throw that term around, you have to wonder how timid they must actually be and whether that is working for them.

No, no, no, no, NO! That’s what people SAY they want to do. If you actually do it, you’re a “Health Freak,” or vain, or you’re "obsessed with whatever you are pursuing. Or you’re an internet badass. Those are the options.

Yes, I changed my avatar. I got tired of it, so I plugged in a new one. Less hypnotic and annoying, too, IMO.
As for the rest, I would agree. Like attracts (non-threatening) like.

Better yet, count how many men are wearing pink shirts at a Chicago sporting event. I’ll bet it’s none (perhaps a few teenagers with their collars flipped up, but no men). Seriously, let us know.
[/quote]
My daughter was on a mission to count all the ‘men in pink’ she saw during our short stint in Chicago. Grand total was 36. Interesting that the majority were worn by men in their 50s and 60s (plus a 70yo in pink shorts), and several of these were dress shirts worn under sports jackets, including one worn by a 30yo hulky bb type. Yes, he looked great, and yes, he would’ve looked equally as good in a more manly color.
Lots of men wearing peach, though. Lots and lots of peach everywhere.
As expected, no pink at the Bears/Lions game (although the suck ass Lions should be forced to wear pink all week), but of course there weren’t any women in pink, either. Less than a handful of guys in pink around Wrigleyville and at the Cubs game.
Most sightings were along the Magnificent Mile … also where I laid eyes on a pair of manpris for the first time. Not pretty. Not even remotely attractive.
Maybe that’s how all people felt about pink on men years ago?
The evolution of gender crossing continues …
First, and I don’t remember who said it, but I will never wear shorts that go above my knees. Do you want everyone to look like the NBA in the 80’s? Long shorts are more comfortable and better looking. I will associate short shorts with homosexuality before I associate long shorts.
Second, a pink shirt is just a pink shirt. Who cares? When I was in elementary school there were kids wearing pink polos. Now 20+ years later people are doing it again. It’s cyclical and I could care less. I wouldn’t wear one, but if you like it, rock that shit.
I can’t believe how worked up some people get over another man’s wardrobe. What bothers you more: tight-ass wrangler jeans or extra loose and baggy jeans that sag?

What country are you from? No guy I know would wear “short shorts”. They call those ‘Daisy Dukes’ here. The length of the shorts now worn in the NBA are what most people wear casually. I mean, seriously, do you want an award for showing your nuts every time you sit down? Well, congrats. Have a cookie and some scissors to slit those shorts just a little higher. We can’t quite see your butt cheeks yet.

Any “man” who has to wear shorts below the knee is merely hiding the fact that he has a small package and is afraid of the non-bulge that will be apparent in real men’s shorts.
But seriously, where I live, it’s more of a social demographic issue. Middle to upper class, regardless of race, tend to wear shorts that are above the knee. Lower class and teenagers (all classes) tend to wear shorts below the knee.
Another rule I’ve noticed is the longer the shorts, the bigger the high tops (do they still call them high tops?) and the longer the untied laces.
You live in TX for crikey. Don’t you think it would be more comfortable to actually expose the knees? Especially for the crouching, front lawn double biceps pose?

I don’t live in Texas. I grew up in Texas. Beyond that, most training shorts (even UnderArmour’s line of shorts) come past the knee in most of their styles. Income has nothing to do with it. It is about style and your concepts of what people are wearing seem about 10 years off (and completely stereotyped all to hell). Any Footlocker you walk into has shorts that are at least to the knee or below. Again, are you from the US?

It also seems to me that the same people that wear short shorts are the ones wearing pink and purple polos. And they wear those leather-weaved belts that are too long with the end of the belt hanging down. And they wear loafers with no socks.

Prof, I live in Northern NJ, arguably the U.S. That’s the way it is in the 15 miles radius of my house. If you’d like to come visit for a weekend, I will open my doors to you.
Most of my posts on this thread have been tongue-in-cheek to fan the flames. But to claim that social class has nothing to do with clothing styles is crazy-talk.

Some do, no doubt. But, if you’d spend a morning at my kids’ soccer games, where there are 6 fields of parents lined up at any given time, you will see that most of the men are wearing shorts above the knee, t-shirts, athletic socks and some form of athletic shoe, whether it is a running shoe, cross-trainer, etc.
Just because a pair of shorts is above the knee doesn’t mean they are short shorts. I mean fuck, my femur is 2 feet long. That still leaves a lot of room for shorts above the knee to have a decent in-seam.
