>>6933079
That's wrong though.

>>6933067
but the only reason you dress nicely is to impress others

>>6933076
Pussy just fell in your lap. I sincerely hope you did something about it.

>tfw long and tiring day behind me
>tfw listening to LCD Soundsystem, drinking coffee and assembling outfit for friday night out
Is anyone with me?

>>6933076
why does this always happen to you autists and not me

i am still waiting for some qt to come up to me and compliment my fit, and i am well prepared for 5 mins conversation before asking for her number and getting the fuck out of there before i fuck up

>>6933083
how is it?

what other reason is there to dress nicely

for yourself? but then you are just dressing nicely so you feel good infront of others, hence trying to impress others

>>6933076
That's what basic is. You should probably buy a variety of colors if it's really that noticeable. Buy some henely tees and some tanks providing you aren't skinny or skinnyfat. And a print wouldn't hurt once in a while.

>>6933092
i don't know you but it's like you described my day. what LCD soundsystem album did you listen?

>>6933102
<3
I was listening to the self-titled before, now Introns is spinning. Tiga's remix of Tribulations is massive.
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn7UDOF-QKg

>>6933092
Well, Daft Punk was playing at my house, sooooo...

Also, I once got props for wearing oldass grey boat shoes in a streetwear fit. It was some teenager who saw them and said "nice kicks" as I walked past. I spent the better part of 10 minutes worried that he was being sarcastic.

>>6932681
Lol, you getting called out for your shitty dadcore.

>>6933114
>I was listening to the self-titled before
anon confirmed for being me.

>>6933112
also, a story

>begin to lose hope, head over to the button-down rack
>some 14 year old kid in Supras and a Nike text t-shirt walks in
>the clerk audibly sighs
>he browses maybe 30 seconds, pulls out a Wackies t-shirt and practically slams it on the checkout table
>I ended up copping a hat

He probably didn't even know who Horace Andy was.

>>6933135
the netherlands. you?

>>6933124
This is scary, man

Where do you live? Just wondering.

>>6933137
Phew

Slovenia. I was in Netherlands this spring, very nice country. Amsterdam was nice, even not taking weed into account.

>>6933091
Probably because you're ugly du

>>6933096
i wear flannels, ocbds, and prints pretty often, but with the weather out lately i've been wearing tees. i'm skinnyfat as fuck so no tanks

>>6933187
definitely not m8

its just the way it is over here, everyone keeps to themselves and wouldnt think of ever approaching or talking to strangers

>>6933076
not really an /fa/ feel but
>acquaintance from school says "hey anon you remind me of a cartoon character"
>people chime in and say they agree

I'm such a disgusting bum fuck.

weed is good but you can still get it anywhere else just a bit harder

I can rock the fratty douche look but I hate it

>>6933093
Some people just feel good by dressing well.

>>6933212
>gingham
>fratty douche
Gingham is more dadcore/real prep/#menswear than fratcore

>wear a very basic fit: white oxford, navy chinos, brown pennyloafers
>go to party, talk a bit

>. . . and then get complimented by a "classy gentleman"

>Me: "Yeah, I wish I could say the same."
>walk off into the moonlight

>>6933541
you sound like a dick tho

>>6933547
Some people would say I'm a rather polite guy. But, hey, give me a few beers and I can talk shit.

From my standpoint, the chubby guy looked awful.

>>6933056
:')

>>6932709
Holy fuck, this.
Wearing boots, chinos, and a button down, and my old boss asked me where in Europe I was from. I'm from the fucking midwest, and I'm white.

>>6933555
From your description he sounds awful. The only way he could've been worse is if he had a neckbeard.

>>6933561
Nah, he didn't have a neckbeard. He actually looked clean and employable, but he dressed like a moron. If I was a better person, I would have apologized and given him a few pointers in dressing up.

>>6933574
I feel bad for him then. Fuck I have way too much flannel as it is and I have no idea how I got it. I'm just going to get some OCBDs this weekend, fuck it. I've already got 2, 1 red and 1 blue CK slim fits which look pretty good but I need more to have a not retarded wardrobe.

>>6933581
Hey, a light blue and a white OBCD is the bare minimum, I think.

There's nothing wrong with flannel, really. It may have been overplayed for the past few years, but fuck it, flannels will be around for another 100 years. Just stay away from ugly colored patterns and colorations.

>>6933206
>I'm such a disgusting bum fuck.

bursted out laughing, thanks anon

>>6932652
>not going to frat parties in full Rick and ending the night in the back of a squad car after putting a football player in the hospital with a shattered jaw and ruptured testicles

>>6933591
Most of my flannels are just one color mixed with a neutral (purple with black, red with white, etc) so they're not gaudy looking. But yeah I don't even have the bare minimum. Looking to try and find some nice OCDBs over the weekend but I'm a broke ass college student :(

>>6933601
poet i can honestly believe that you've done this.

>>6933604
>one color mixed with a neutral (purple with black, red with white, etc

those are usually awful looking imo but its a case by case thing and i can't judge without seeing them

>>6933056
mirin'

>>6933616
I can't stand multi colored ones, tbh the blends just don't work well for me.

>>6933601
Poet just wants to be hardcore but the police wont let him
:(
Careful you don't step into 2edgy territory like bai m8e
Out of interest tho , what music do you listen to?

>>6933616
All flannels look shit tbh
If I could find solid color shirts from that material it'd be gr8

>>6933092
Man I was at a f.y.e. and thought to myself "o man just a bunch of a shits i bet lmao" but then I saw a Sunn O))) album in the CDs and the bundle of records they had LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver and new Fuck Buttons.

looks like it was full of a shits lmao

>>6933640
They're only shit if you aren't wearing them properly.

>>6933612
>>6933631
I Promise I've never been to that place in particular, it just seemed like a really nice image. I watched Heathers the other day, that's probably it. Im my ind there's a slow rain falling, too.

I listen to a bit of everything because I have a huge vinyl collection, but my real loves are dark, lush ambient music and instrumental hip hop.

It's odd, for someone who spends so much time writing music, I rarely listen to it the way normal folks do, ie as sonic wallpaper, or just to fill the spaces. It's always deliberate. I miss having background music, I should get an ipod.

>tfw you didn't record your mix.

You people have to know this feel
a shame im getting used to it like tfwnogf

>>6933700

Idiomatically, people use the word "institutionalized". "Committed" also works, but I always feel like it's a little less PC.

>>6934542

>>6934937
is this the same for girls?

if they are looking at me does that mean they like me?

>>6934842
thats not good at all

>>6933031
i'm worried i will soon know those feels

>>6934950
They're all laughing at you. They laugh at me because I can't find fitting trousers so I get a crotch bulge that looks stupid so I have to walk with my hands in my pockets to cover it up. I know they're laughing.

>>6934929
>wear rick shirt
>anon you look like a faggot

>>6934950
I'd say yes. If I like a girl I'm always checking her out. If I don't find her attractive I don't even look at her and avoid eye contact.
Have you seen him looking at you more than once? Do you consider yourself hot, qt, average?

>>6934991
i have a penis but i consider myself hot and 1 or 2 grills have agreed

>>6934947
I know.
I'm really self conscious about it irl.

>>6934675
>this
Seriously you guys need to calm the fuck down

Nobody even overthinks shit the way you guys do

>>6934998
I think you were >>6934542 and were a girl

Man, I don't know but I'd say probably. If someone's checking you out it's because he/she is interested in you somehow, I suppose.
Do you find yourself looking at ugly chicks sometimes? I guess not.

>>6933601
the drop crotch is good because no one will notice when you shit yourself

>>6935018
no that wasnt me

i was referring to what she was saying though but from the male point of view

>>6933689
You gotta dress the part if you wanna be
eatin sammy texting slammy

>>6935039
I don't know, m8. Women are so concealed that if I caught one looking at me I consider that a small victory, even if it means nothing, at least I caught her attention.

>>6932681
>>6932652
>tfw your friends get embarrassed by being so under dressed when you're just wearing your normal fits

Guys pls, why can't you just wear clothes that fit.

>>6934991
That grill here.
I think I'm pretty qt. I like to dress in black a lot, but most people on my campus wear the usual Zara/forever21 shit. That guy I was talking about hangs out with a lot of pleb girls or reads the newspaper by himself so I find it hard to approach him.

>>6935081
omg anon you're so dumb~
:-)
just be a newspaper

>>6935039
I only stare if you look hot or you're so hideously ugly.

>>6935081
guys are easy as fuck, and the pressure is always on the guy to keep conversation and shit going

so just go sit beside him, ask what is he reading about or compliment his clothes or hair or something, then he should take over conversation and you just have to direct the convo in the way you want it

and if he is unresponsive then fuck it there are plenty more guys

>>6935112
well im definitely not ugly so thats good

>>6935122
Actually it's fairly odd for a girl to come up and start talking to a guy. They'll respond to be polite, but it's hard for them to figure out what someone's gameplan is if they just ask stupid questions. If she just went up to him, asked a couple questions then said "I think you're cute" or something then he'd be much more invested in talking to her.
>tfw too many fuckheads can't understand simple shit like this

>>6935081
>qt approaches me in street
>"H-Hey"
>"SORRY I DON'T SMOKE"
>Keep head down and power walk on

She definitely probably wanted a light.

>>6935139
>Head down
>Power walk on
>Nervous reply just to get away from them

>>6935081
A lot of guys are really dumb and won't make the first move for a number of reasons, mainly fear of rejection. I guess it may be hard for a girl to “take the first step” out of nowhere but you could try putting yourself in a position where the guy can hit you up easily, for example, you could sit alone near where he is, read the newspaper or a book and if the guy is not a beta faggot (and also interested in you) he may approach and talk to you. Or you could just go straight up to him and say hi, though these things are easier said than done.
Anyway, I think you should give him more glances and maybe a smile. As a guy I can tell a smile means a LOT from a girl.

Also, post fit? I want to see how qt you are :3

>>6935122
He always wears really nice leather shoes so maybe I start with that? I just find it intimidating to make the first move.

>>6935169
No shit so does everyone

>>6935169
Everyone does, honey. It's just apprehension, and think of it this way 9 times out of 10 it's the guy that has to make that first move.

>>6935169
just try making eye contact with him first and smile at him

if he does nothing about it he is probably just like every guy on /fa/ and too shy

so then you could comment on something and see how he reacts and hopefully it goes well from there

>>6935169
u have nothin' 2 lose bb

>>6935002
i posted that because it's really noticeable how most guys don't think about body language.

recently girls have had a masculine perception of me, and i'm not really ripped or anything.
it's because of how i sit and speak.

it isn't enough to make a girl want to fuck, but it's definitely something they notice subliminally.
it's definitely something that makes me seem more attractive and desirable.

>>6935147
Sorry I'm in my pjs. Maybe next time.
Thanks for the advice everyone.

>>6932697
That frat is on St George street?

does anyone else not like getting compliments? its rare for my poor heroin chic anyway but when i get them i just laugh it off or say 'yeah'

>>6935320
If I don't get compliments I feel sad
When I do get compliments I feel awkward

:/

>>6935320
>Sour grapes

>tfw no one ever tells you you have good taste in music/clothes
>Probably because people don't care that much about music or fashion as we do

I'd take a “great taste” over a “you're hot/cute” any day

>>6935362
>tfw some plen I was talking to was convinced a Milli is the greatest rap song of our generation
I have never wanted to murder someone for being so pleb be4

>>6935373
I'm an entry level hip hop fan. I like A Tribe Called Quest, Del the Funkee Homosapien, Deltron 3030, Jay Z, Danny Brown, Kanye West, A$AP Rocky, Death Grips... I don't like Lil Wayne at all and that song is really bad to be honest, so I guess I'm with you on this one.

Pretty much anything non-conservative or tight-fitting.

I've tried all three, and switch tactics like once a month. I have a couple friends who dress well enough, though. and i can talk about fashion with them
