>Do you ever feel uncomfortable in the clothes you wear? How do you deal with it?

yeah, i just feel really depersonalized and boring if i have to wear really basic button down/jeans etc.

theres something thats really uncomfortable about wearing boring work clothes.

feel much happier in my tall tees and tricky dick ovens

/fa/ do u evr think ull b happier if u just died well do u

>>5955851
I think I can agree on that, I feel the same way.

Except I don't really want to wear nicer clothes sometimes for the fear on being judged.

No, I feel like I've found a style that's fit for me. I've never really felt uncomfortable with any clothing I've ever worn. I might've a few times just because I felt like what I was wearing was cheap, and I was a little afraid of being judged by that. I think I wore it anyways, though. I guess you kind of just say, "Whatever," and walk out the door.
I think /fa/ instilled that quality in me. I guess seeing all those "pleb" comments got to me that day.

>>5956040

>>5956084
Not the guy you are responding to but living in the south and trying to be /fa/ without being yacht club levels of prep is difficult.

These homophobic rednecks are so afraid of gays it's ridiculous. I did a school survey in high school about homophobia and the number one fear, and I'm not kidding, is that if they interacted with a gay person on someone that even looked gay that the gay person would whip out their dick and fuck them in the ass right there. Not even joking.

Well dressed or even street wear = faggot where I used to live. I don't take wife beater wearing NASCAR fans seriously though.

>tfw its not the clothes that make you uncomfortable, its people in general

I often feel... the closest word I can think of is "guilt" or "shame" for dressing in such expensive clothes around people whose lives suck. I walk from the train station to campus every day because I go to school in Chicago but live in the suburbs.

And I just feel bad that all of the losers on the street see me. And I'm a healthy, wealthy, well-dressed young white male with his whole life ahead of him. And I see all of these schmucks who'll be bus drivers all their lives.

And I just feel kind of shameful, like I'm flaunting how much better than them my life and prospects are.

But I shrug it off because I can't be letting others' loserness bring me down to their level on any front.

>>5956080
>I felt like what I was wearing was cheap, and I was a little afraid of being judged by that

This is the source of basically all of my insecurities. After reaching out to /fit/ and deciding to bulk up, I can't afford to spend any serious cash on pants, shirts, or jackets. I can't go beyond J. Crew or Polo (if it's on sale), while I'm dropping hundreds of dollars for each new pair of shoes I pick up.

Fuck, my only two pairs of pants are j crew chinos, and I'm about to pick up a watch for almost $2k, but I still feel like people look at me and think "I saw those pants on sale for $40."

>constantly judging other people's clothing even in movies when I would rather not
know that

>>5956286
I totally realize that. And I worked for everything I have and everything I have coming. But I can't shake that feel. I just want everyone in the world to be happy. Don't want to make anyone feel worse about themselves by just existing in their presence.

But look at it from my perspective:
I see some middle-aged, tubby balding dude in cheap clothes walking in the opposite direction. He sees me. He's unhealthy, looks bad, probably has a shitty fat wife, shitty dumb kids, and a gay little house.

I'm a well-dressed, relatively-attractive, healthy while male with no obligations and his whole life ahead of him.

If I were him, how would I feel seeing me? I'm guessing shitty. Like it would just highlight how much of a lower I was.

And I don't want to make people feel bad about themselves. Even if they should...

I know what you mean, I often have similar feels. But it is all relative, sometimes I see people in better situation than I. The important thing is how you actually treat people.

I outgrow the pants every ~3 months. The watch will stick around. I have navy and a sort of duck canvas brown, which cover every fit I could possibly put on until I stop growing and can actually throw down for stuff that isn't completely basic.

>middle school
>implying you and every one of your peers weren't complete cunts in the 7th grade

>>5956423
So are you fat or bulking?

>>5956441
Bulking. Started from being pretty skinny, and if I had to guess I'd say I'm around 16-18% bf now. Pants are the worst for me because I had comparatively big legs to start with, and they've grown pretty massive since I started lifting.

Honestly I get judged all the time for the clothes I wear. I see fuccbois with hot ass girlfriends. I see guys in skate shoes, baggy jeans and dirty t shirts with qt hipster girls. Y'know what I get? Girls ask me if I'm gay and try to gay best friend me (even when I hit on them). Guys can't stand to be near me because they think I'm gay. (no friends). What's the point of being /fa/ any more? I'm lonely as fuck. I hate the city I live in, which is surprisingly full of conservative redneck douchebags. Why am I /fa/? So I can tell someone that the shoes I have cost me a grand? wow big deal. They think I'm some fucking weeabo who dresses like a ninja. I give up. I'm going back to cardigans, dbs and v necks.

>>5956458
Then you won't have friends and you'll dress like a tool.

>>5956458

>>5956415
it's just what I wore before I joined the AF so I just like wearing it

>>5956458
Lol man, are you actually serious? If you are, why don't you just relax slightly with the ninja while you live in your shit city to make it bearable.

Then go ahead and move to a decent city, with decent jobs and cool people. Are you in highschool because why else would you still live there?

>>5956479
Try mixing in more average articles of clothing so you don't look like a sperglord? And move to a city?

>>5956502
I live in a city. Ottawa.

>>5956458
I was with you until the last two lines. Why? Because that's the shit I wear, and I still deal with those things, except for the guys avoiding me. Girls think I'm gay all the time, and will flat out ask me about it. All the fucking time. Gay guys hit on me, flirt with me, tell our mutual friends that they have crushes on me, etc.

And even though I bet you and I look completely different, I can completely relate to you on people not appreciating the effort and money that you invest in yourself. I have similarly priced shoes--nobody gives a fuck. The sorority girls are running around saying "Ooh you look really dapper today" to the basic bitches wearing boat shoes and daddy's old navy blazer, because they don't know what the fucking difference is between them and me.

So what do? If you started liking clothes to impress people, you fail. You conform to whatever's popular in your area. For you, that's cardigans. For me, that's gym shorts. But if you started liking clothes because--who the fuck knows why, but they're awesome--then you trudge on. It sucks that swagfags have girlfriends who tell them they look "spiffy" when they put on a clip-on tie, but you just have to shrug it off.

With that being said, yes, I am absolutely still butthurt on a daily basis that faggots in basketball shorts manage to get cute girlfriends while I am very much alone. Do as I say, not as I do.

>>5956502
Agreed. I think you need to somewhat dress for your environment. Obviously you don't feel completely comfortable wearing ninja in that location because it seems like it's not working out.

>>5956489
Is your life goal to become a model? Or do you just enjoy /fa/? Seriously, enjoy yourself man. No one else cares except you or maybe some teenagers online.

>>5956511
Real talk. That was actually kind of inspirational.

>>5956511
This

>>5956489
Don't worry about it. I'm a bit over 6'0" and it's done absolute shit for me with girls. I have a friend who's of average height, doesn't work out, wears ratty old jeans, etc., and he was fooling around with 2-3 girls at the same time last semester, all while I sat on my ass and did my best to not spill spaghetti. Even now he has a new girlfriend, and I'm still alone (and annoyed about it).

Fuck, the two of us have talked about it before, and the conclusion is always "How do I not have a girlfriend while you do? This makes no sense," because I lift, wear nice clothes, am taller, etc., but really none of that matters because he's more confident and outgoing. That's it.

Think about it: Does every girl want a guy who looks like Ryan Taylor? Maybe. Does she think that's realistic? Not a fucking chance. Look around. Girls settle all the time. Short guys, fat guys, ugly guys, neckbeards, guys wearing running shoes, guys not wearing cologne, guys wearing socks with sandals. All of them with girlfriends.

Why? How? How do THEY get girls and not you? Because they walked up and said, "That's a really cute dress," or something else equally mundane.

Girls will almost never approach guys. Instead, they pick and choose from the guys who approach them. If you don't buy a lottery ticket, you're not going to win the jackpot, so just talk to this girl and that one and that other one.

What if you fail? Then you have the same chance of dating her that you did before you opened your mouth.

But you have a chance at success. Don't make excuses; just fucking talk to her.

I know people who dress well and get women too.

It is annoying when fuccbois get hot girls and girls can't tell the difference between brooks brothers and ann, though.

Many more high status people can though, and the item should look good regardless of price.

Isn't that at least a decently sized city?

>>5956511
Very interesting to hear your perspective. I'm not super /fa/ and I don't really know what it's like to be without a gf. Do you live in a small or bad city also?

I feel like there are a lot of unique types of girls, have you tried your luck with them? Do you have a hard time connecting with girls, or relating to them because of how /fa/ you are? Is it a confidence thing where you feel so different that it is hard to relate, or maybe you are really picky?

>>5956556
god damn that short film

>>5956556
I am just like your average height friend. I also have a tall handsome friend that ends up not getting girls while I am with them all the time. Being taller is never a bad thing, but it only helps you so much and confidence what will get you places.

The way I see it is there is not really any problem as long as you are taller than the girl. I have never really felt short or anything my whole life, confidence is key. I even dated girls taller than me while in middle school (growth differences).

>>5956599
I actually met my wife at a bus stop. This was a cute film.

>>5956574
Not a super small city (Williamsburg, VA), but since it's centered around colonial Williamsburg, most people are either young and in college, or of retirement age.

>I feel like there are a lot of unique types of girls, have you tried your luck with them?

Somewhat. I've befriended plenty of different girls, but don't really click with anyone. I never dated in high school (instead just did my homework, skated, played video games, etc.), so I think I missed out on four years of fixing my awkwardness. I still have a tendency to really overthink things, and I'll often royally fuck up conversations with girls to the point that I'm "that guy" with all of the embarrassing stories.

I think I just haven't laid the groundwork for understanding how to pace my interactions with girls. I'll jump ahead and ask out a girl whom I don't know well enough for her to say yes, or I'll take too long to realize that a girl liked me.

>Do you have a hard time connecting with girls, or relating to them because of how /fa/ you are?

Not really, at least not on my end. I definitely wish I could find a girl with a similar commitment to clothes so that she could understand why I spend so much time and money on them, but I simply don't have the luxury of avoiding girls because they don't dress nicely. Just today I spent almost an hour watching people walk by in the dining hall, and I didn't see a single girl whose outfit was worth a second look. It's sad, because that's an interest I'd like to share with someone, but it's not in the cards right now.

Ultimately I think it comes down to a little bit of awkwardness, and a lot of bad luck and pickiness. The one girl I asked out last semester had a boyfriend, and it's all too easy for me to find reasons to not be attracted to any girl I see on campus. There's no doubt that I could get *a* girl, but I always end up wanting *that* girl, and it's always the one with a boyfriend, or who just doesn't like me, or whatever.

>>5956628

>>5956599
Feel with me, mate. Hit extra hard for me because brunettes with short hair are exactly my type.

>>5956601
Agreed on all counts. Hell, I'd have no problems dating a girl taller than me if she had attractive proportions; it's all about being comfortable with whatever "downsides" you might have to deal with.

I realized far too late that improving yourself, while great, won't get you girls. You grew tall over the past year? Not enough. You wear nice clothes? Girls might whisper about you to their friends, but they will almost never just talk to you because of your outfit. You work out and have the body to show for it? Girls will think of you...when kissing their scrawny boyfriend.

Like you said, those things are all supplementary, but none of them directly address the issue at hand.

You can watch as many videos as you want about how a shirt should fit, but you won't actually learn until you fuck up at a tailor a few times.

I've gotten advice from friends, read the most ridiculous, embarrassing self-help "how to talk to people" and even PUA bullshit, and all of my progress has come from just talking to people. But height, lifting, and clothes haven't gotten me girls. Girls are just too passive for those things to be enough.

>>5956738
no you're not

>>5956628
Really, you should try to get a girl while you are still in college. You need the experience while it is still easy to be awkward. Perfect time because they are plenty of girls and lots of free time, at least you don't have to be at work all day even if you study all day.

It is hard to find someone who has the exact same interest and passions as you. In the end it might not be something you even want. I used to like video games, weed and cars. My girl friend didn't like those things but we still have fun together. Don't focus so much on specific interest. See if you connect and the other person is a decent human.

In the end, you want experience in a relationship so when that you do find that girl in the future, you know how to treat her.

>>5956745
Oh, I totally agree. From an objective standpoint, I need to date for the experience, if not for anything else. It's just tough to bring myself to that point when I'm so picky--and not just about hobbies and shit like that (it's not a dealbreaker for me), but about looks.

That's when the bad luck comes into play: Whenever I seem to hit it off with someone, I find out she has a boyfriend, or, like what's happening right now, I don't run into her for over a month after chatting, and I have no way of contacting her.

>>5956846
Cuffing is pretty weak bro. It doesn't come off as dapper, it appears tryhard (for lack of a better term).

Get your pants tailored, it'll look much more natural and nice. Remember to ask for a taper if they take in the ankle so it'll fit tighter.

>>5956852
oh shit thats a good idea anon

>>5956846
Rock it, man. If it's cuffing your pants or wearing a fucking cardigan, someone will find a reason to talk shit to you.

You have two choices for how you respond:

>Cave
You give in. You let them get to you. You feel embarrassed and let them dictate your life. What's next after cuffing your pants? You stop wearing collared shirts because they say it's too "dressy"? You start wearing sneakers again so they don't give you shit for wearing boots?

>Stand up for yourself
You talk shit in return. You give as much as you get, and show your friends they aren't in charge of your wardrobe.

Face it: Anything you do outside of the norm will invite confrontation. Maybe people are intimidated, or maybe they just think you look like a fag. It's your job to make it clear that YOU dress yourself in the morning, not them.

I've had a girl tell me she didn't like my shirt, and I just looked at her and told her "it's a good thing I don't give a fuck what you think when I get dressed in the morning." Surprise, motherfucker, she never gave me shit again.

And most of my friends talk smack to me about everything I do that's "adventurous" or "out there" at all, because it's different and weird. But once they realize that I'm not going to stop wearing my new shoes just because they think they look "gay," they give up and often actually end up complimenting the same things they used to mock.

If you can't hold your own for fucking cuffed pants, how can you expect to ever do anything daring or different? How can you expect to have fun and be independent with your clothes, and with your whole life?

>>5956846
sounds like you're a little bitch

dont conform just because of peer pressure

>>5956866
Amen. But make sure they are actually talking shit instead of just being curious of your unique style. You wouldn't want to alienate someone was interested in your style and come across as being overly defensive.

>>5956872
Good call. If someone says "those shoes are interesting" and the anon says "hey man don't tell me what to wear!" then he'll seem like a total cock, and will forever wonder why his friends "never notice" his clothes.

If someone's curious, nurture that. You might even be able to share your hobby with a friend. If someone's being a cunt, be a cunt right back to them.

how do you ever expect to be original if you are afraid of being judged?

>>5956877
Damn, simple and to the point. Nice.

im a short ugly filipino. grew up back in the homeland been living here in straya for 3years.i got interested in fashion so i can somewhat compensate these shortcomings with being well dressed. used to love feeling superior fashionwise compared to my fellow swaggot peers. 'lol fucker thinks hes stylin in that obey shit lol lrn2fashun cuz'. never been complimented ever on my outfit. never had people 'mire' me in public. never had people compliment my brand new yuk boots which costed me my whole weekly salary. dunno why i even try anymore. my english sucks as well so conversations with me usually end up with me stuttering like an autist. im probably a minority here so feel free to laugh

one time I told a sweet story on an internet fashion imageboard

you should have seen it, all the anonymous posters were "admiring" (my post)

one day I'll "post a fit" and I will be king and nobody will say mean things to me anymore

ugh /fa/ problems, "am I right"?

>>5957025
hey remember when hro was relevant :)

>>5957025
its like my mum is on the internet trying to be cool
give up

>>5956846

Well, why do you cuff your pants?

>>5957036
maybe thats what I was going for, I hear that's "in" these "days"

fine, I "give up", all I ever wanted was to be a celebrity like Matt Helders. maybe I went about it the wrong way. from now on I'll only post cool and awesome things, and then I'll be the next Matt Helders, OK?

>>5957044
fuck matthelders

>>5956866

I'm going to save this post for a future confidence booster. Not the guy you were replying to, but thanks anon.

>>5957052
yeah, it was so inspirational. I am the kind of guy who always needs a little boost from an inspirational speech like at the end of an episode of my favourite sitcom. that is how I learn and grow as a human being into being more confident. thanks "anon"!

>>5957060

Beautiful post, brother.
This is the kind of gem that stays with you.

I like you.

I came into this thread expecting something else, but you just hit me with feels. I'm saving all of this.

Poet, you got anything to add to his posts?

>>5956628

Whoa. I live in Yorktown, bro. What high school did you go to? Bruton?

>>5956628

>I never dated in high school (instead just did my homework, skated, played video games, etc.), so I think I missed out on four years of fixing my awkwardness. I still have a tendency to really overthink things, and I'll often royally fuck up conversations with girls to the point that I'm "that guy" with all of the embarrassing stories.

Holy fuck are you me?

>>5957119
I really don't, this gentleman covered everything and then some, beautifully. I'm saving some of these posts too, brother.

I'm assuming it's all the work of one anon?

Whatever, glad to read all of it.

>>5957203
Are there any films you can recommend that portray this kind of retro-pseudo-future style very well?

Solaris comes to mind

>Live in small redneck city in Australia.
>Have qt fashionable gf
>ofw we walk around town dressed /fa/ as fuck while everyone else considers anything more formal than a singlet and football shorts 'overdressed'.

>>5957212
where do u liv

>be fat and have no confidence.
>research how to get /fa/ while working on getting in shape
>at first go full dadcore but then adapt it to my own style
>when I go out girl always comment that they like my clothes but some always ask if I'm gay.
>have no girl interaction for almost 2 full years of this.
>finally sick of all my clothes and start wearing jeans and v-necks
>get a HY
>last 2 weekends girls have been complementing me on my hair
>since I cut my hair I've made out with 2 qt girls
Maybe I have got it all wrong. Maybe it's not about finding your own style you like and are comfortable with. Maybe it's all about dressing down like a normal person and having good hair.

>>5957316
HAIR
AND
SHOES

RICK IS GOD

>>5957321
I don't even own and Dick Ovens. I think goofninja is awful

>>5956628
Oh god, I am you.
I don't understand why I didn't use my high school years to do shit with girls. I mean, I had friends that where girls and got along with them swimmingly. Man, girlfriends of my friends always like me, one even admitted to having a crush on me. The problem is with me not being confident enough to approach a girl, even though I know the worst that can happen is "yeah, thanks but no thanks."

>>5957316
WTF is HY

How new are you?

>>5957332
Rick Owens says that all that really matters is hair and shoes, the rest can be average. Or something like that I dont remember the qoute

nothin to do with goffninjaa

>>5957357
Ahhh shit. New respect for that man. The boots I was wearing were kickass.

>>5957206
I can only think of a few off the bat... You mean the 1950's ideal future? I'll start from there and move forward in time.
Forbidden Planet, This Island Earth, Soylent Green, 2001, Silent Running, Death Sport, Rollerball (70's version) Saturn 3, The Last Starfighter and the animated version of Metropolis... I'm drawing a blank after that.

Only the first 3 are the sorts of things that fit into the 1950's-60's vision of the future. The rest are there for the sake of outdated futurism. Silent Running and the animated Metropolis are probably the most rewarding films on the list. If you like Metropolis, go watch Steamboy if you haven't already.

>>5957388
Great, thanks! Been meaning to check out forbidden planet for a long time, will get onto the rest when I get some time in a week or so

people compliment me on my hair and i dress well too

i get visibly uncomfortable but its better than people telling you youre fucking ugly right?

>>5957388
Not that guy, but have you ever seen Gattaca?
I just loved the portrayal of the future they did there.

>>5957397
Of course - I only wish I could think of some more off the bat - I know I'm missing something big. In any case, there's also a 1981 film called Outland that's worth a shot in you want that early 80's future.
And... uh, Enemy Mine, Moon 44 and Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century (perhaps).

>>5957403
Yes! Great film, if not crushingly bittersweet. I hope it never comes to be like that in our world.

>>5957363
>Hair and shoes say it all. Everything in between is forgivable as long as you keep it simple. Trying to talk with your clothes is passive-aggressive.

>>5957432
...And Runaway - that's all i got.

>>5956399
>Am I supposed to feel rich guilt or something? Is it bad for someone to not be poor when in college?

Nope. Don't feel any guilt. What have you done to those people? Nothing. What right does that pleb bitch have to glare at you for stating a fact? None.

>>5956399
You're going to get this in all walks of life, brother. If you excel in something, if you have more money than most, if you're well read, skilled or good at a sport, you're going to have haters. Crabs in a bucket, all of them.
It's kind of sad, because you want to just live your life, and people around you are the very ones who build the Ivory Tower they despise you for living in.
Seek out other exceptional people, brother, and stay grateful.

>>5960709
>Crabs in a bucket

I never considered that mentality on such a grand scale. But you're right, it applies to everything: Clothes, wealth, fitness, education, etc.

Don't get me wrong, sometimes I'm definitely an elitist little shit, but most of the time it's other people saying things like "And I bet you're gonna make fun of my clothes now." No, actually, I couldn't care less what you wear; your shirt is on your back, not mine.

>people around you are the very ones who build the Ivory Tower they despise you for living in

Damn good point. Like you said, most of the time we just want to get by, and other people presume that we're going to look down on them for some reason or another.

>>5960758
stfu uichie rich. lol y dont u go by some more designer shoes. stupid rich bastard

>>5960758
You should trip using 'Richie Rich' as your name, you elitist cunt

>be waiting at busstop in red heels

>>5960814

yeah you looked like a whore

>>5956399
>don't know what to say when the girl working a minimum wage job mentions that she loves the feeling of buying a "really nice jacket" for $50

that feel

>>5960814
my penis hardens over the patriarchy at work

I remember Anna Wintour said something like

“There is something about fashion that can make people really nervous. It makes them feel inferior and intimidated, like they're not part of the cool crowd, so they make fun of it."

Just do you guise

>>5956399
Damn. People do this to me all the time. Mimicking my supposed 'posh' accent and actually making fun of me for having for money than them. Something of mine once broke while I was my friends and they were like 'It doesn't even matter, he can just buy another one 'cause he rich', and proceeded to glare at me. I mean, I know my friends are (semi)kidding, but the feels

>>5960866

maybe it's /fa/'s influence, but I'm pretty poor and under no pretensions as to what "nice clothes" are. I get cheap basics from H&M and places, and buy from sales as much as I can. I don't understand people who buy a ton of cheap shit, it just doesn't feel good to wear.

I nearly went into a female toilet room yesterday, because I've become so used to see skirts on men, I didn't see what the sign on the door was trying to do.

>>5956042

I hate this-ing, but. This.

You look so much more confident and engaging when you simply look around and actively observe people and things, acknowledge eye contact, and adopt facial expressions that accurately depict your emotions. People respect honesty in any degree, whether they know/like or not.

are you me
