Because I'm fat and ugly. I don't want to see it and trust me you don't want to see it either.

Trojan soldiers said the same thing about a big wooden horse outside their walls.

It's all about attitude.

I got a belly and I get a lot of positive attention when I rock a crop top.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's it from other men applauding you?

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 months ago

Men, women and everyone in between.

Also, crop tops kick ass in the summer. Breezy...

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Understanding dryer settings.

Aside from my slab o'flab making people wish my top had not been cropped, those daddy dukes look like junk-crunchers.

Girl, step into any sports themed gay bar. We are still dressing like this.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

How does one find a sports themed gay bar? Asking for a friend.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Hang out with a gay rugby team, they’ll show you

I just realized that the examples in the meme leave out an important part of the ensemble: calf-high white tube socks with multicolor bands at the top.

If you're gonna rock it, rock it all the way.

[–] vonxylofon@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I don't have those, so that. That stops me from doing that.

The shape of my body.

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We grew up watching those dudes get butchered in increasingly-grotesque ways by a diverse conglomeration of psychotic murderers and animals, both natural and supernatural.

I'm good with my plain black t-shirt that's long enough to serve as a dress because I'm fat and need uberlength shirts to make it over the curvature of my Moo Deng pregnancy and still have enough fabric left over to not leave me looking like I'm wearing a cummerbund made from pale hairy human skin.

Fat guy dress > being split vertically, starting at the willy, by an industrial saw because I unknowingly spent a summer afternoon in a swimming hole that once hosted a cruel gang of teenagers who pretended to befriend a lonely man with a deformity and subsequently caused him to drown in it by shoving him off the rocks into the water even though they knew he couldn't swim.

[–] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 23 points 2 months ago

Wow, there’s a lot to unpack there. Cheers mate.

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago

We live in a society.

Because those hunks never survived the movie.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I work IT in a construction yard and dont like the oil and slurry shit getting on my thighs when I have to fix the internet in the wash bay. Weekends are fair game but I'm a twink not a hunk so the pull off is different.

I don't have a younger sister I have to share clothes with.

No way, this is like wearing the red shirt in Star Trek.

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don't want to look at my disgusting flesh-body and I'd rather nobody else saw it either. Rebuild me shiny and chrome, then we'll talk about showing off.

High fructose corn syrup

I mean, my big fat body, mostly.

I dress like this in the summer as a nonbinary person

[–] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don’t want to disappoint gay guys.

Gents, this is not for you; it’s for her. 🙂

Your wife is the opposite of mine. She's always trying to get me to wear tighter, skimpier clothing. I'm a product of the 90s; I like my oversized t-shirts and baggy jeans, okay?

not being a hunk, for starters... but also it looks uncomfortable

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm from the 80's and nobody wants to see someone my age dressed like that.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

I have also traveled here from the 80's and I'm here to tell you one thing:

That sounds like their fucking problem. If that's all that is stopping you then you get your tiny gym shorts and crop top, friend.

Being the first or second victim is a pretty good disincentive

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

I'm still traumatized by spandex being a thing when I was in primary school.

Gym was .... embarrassing.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Self-respect mostly (at least what's left of it).
