0 squats between them combined over the past 10 years holyyy

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

The guy in pink looks like he does leg day. He just does it half as often as upper body day.

[–] 5redie8@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 months ago

Only one who found the real problem with these dudes. If you gonna wear a shirt like that you can be that top heavy, and the skinny fit isn't helping...

[–] brognak@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

The dude on the right, his legs are like boards. He has a bit of a calf bulge, but it's not even giving my regular bulge any jealous thoughts.

[–] DaneGerous@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago

Might have to climb stairs at some point.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 30 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

I would wear clothing that tight if I were as fit as these guys, but I wouldn't then put stuff in my pockets!

(Is this why women carry purses?)

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

Yes it is.

Someone should tell the little guy that his capris do not make him look taller.

[–] whoreticulture@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Sort of, the stuffed pockets look weird and lumpy on these guys... but a phone or wallet wouldn't fit into womens' pockets at all.

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 7 points 8 months ago

Yeah, if I wasn't fat, I might consider dressing more similar to this. As things stand, though...

[–] Chonk@lemmy.world 30 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Forget about climbing, running etc. You can't even walk straight in these.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Skinny jeans are stretchy though. So stretchy. They can be more comfortable than looser non-stretch jeans, and not get the baggy knees and butt when you sit down then stand up. Have you never seen a women's sportswear ad with denim clad women doing yoga on a mountain? Stretch jeans are just yoga pants, I thought that was common knowledge and hope I am not revealing some secret of womanhood.

[–] TwanHE@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Nah everyone needs to know this. stretchy skinny jeans are the only type i can wear. Or at least the only ones that come close to having the right length to waist ratio.

I prefer to be able to move in my clothes.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Found the beta! Alphas never need to move! Just stand with a beer and keep flexing!

[–] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Move everywhere by sliding in a T pose!

[–] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago (3 children)

This is hateful for no reason. It's ok to dislike the way someone dresses without disparaging them. These guys are comfortable with their bodies and while I personally don't care for this style they pull it off with confidence at least. Don't be angry at other people because you're too doughy for tight clothing.

[–] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 64 points 8 months ago (2 children)

You see hate, I see a lighthearted joke.

It's no wonder the world is so on edge. We have lost all social lubricant by putting discourse online instead of interacting in person.

[–] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I'm sure you would feel the same if it were at your expense.

[–] Jtee@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago (9 children)

It's a joke about dryers shrinking clothes. What are you on about? Unless... Your clothes shrunk too??

Be honest, are you one of the guys in the picture?

[–] molten@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I've been the butt of many a joke. Some even especially mean and personal. I also do the same to my own friends. This is something one of us would say to eachother and not expect to be especially painful. I don't know, maybe I am just not too sensitive and don't hang with a sensitive crowd but I feel like we tend to be emotionally supportive and apologetic if things go too far as well. Idk but this is pretty fucking tame as a meme.

[–] whoreticulture@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I agree with the downvoted commenter, this isn't much different that those who make fun of people for baggy clothes. These guys obviously have a curated fashion sense that does not align with your own. There is nothing wrong with what they are wearing. Women wear tight clothing all the time but you don't see "lighthearted jokes" about their clothes being too tight because of the dryer. The implication is that these clothes are too tight for men to wear, which is judgey and weird, and ties into sexist and homophobic ideas about what men should wear.

"It's just a joke" is the worst way to respond to this kind of criticism. This joke was funny because it drew upon your pre-existing ideas about how men should dress. And you won't even bother to imagine that the basis for your joke might be even a tiny bit harmful.

Also, ironic that in a community for streetware fashion, a movement that celebrates fashion risks, people are just hating on these honestly not-that-far-out-there outfits. I looked through the top posts and most are memes making fun of fashion and with very few inspo or discussion posts. Shitty community, it's /r/cringe for clothing.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

This one is a blast at parties.

"Oh god, someone stole our clothes and all I could find was those undersized teenager garments. What shall we do?

Never mind, pass them over."

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

Now? About 200 pounds.

When I was younger? A preference for being able to work and move in my clothes. Also, not caring about fashion, just about feeling good with my clothes.

[–] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Skinny pants in 2024 are certainly a look.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

I mean.... There's skinny pants... And then there is this second skin shit 😂

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Good taste and an eye for proportion?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 months ago (3 children)

That guy on the right is cracking me up. That shirt...

No way. Top button kid has stolen the show.

He looks like a chihuahua that the wicked witch turned into a human.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

he's the intellectual of the group.

[–] i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 8 months ago

Great Value French Tuck

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Daddy didn't leave me a trust fund, so I have to work, not work out.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

The tight pants look ridiculous enough, but did they all also go to the same shitty tattoo artist for those sleeves?

Peewee should try unbuttoning that top button - maybe his face wouldn't be so red if he could breathe!

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 11 points 8 months ago

A scrotum.

And a place to keep my plumbus.

[–] FatherGascown@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

I don't enjoy looking like an idiot. Also, I have a scrotum, unlike these 4.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Well, I'd definitely need at least, like, 47 more tattoos first.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I could easily dress like this, it just wouldn't look very good with my pudgy asd

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

with your pudgy asd

autism spectrum disorder?

[–] Fridgeratr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'm chubby and don't want to show off my paunch and moobs lol

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Those pants do not look comfortable.
