Why is it that the women on /fa/ dress so badly?

All hate aside most of the girls I see on the street are not that poorly dressed. They at least have some sense of color and what they should be trying to do for their body type, even if they're head-to-toe in Zara or Topshop or whatever. But every single girl I have ever seen post in the waywt here looks like she is picking out her own outfit for the first time after years of being dressed by her mom or something. Seriously what the fuck gives? I know /fa/ dresses terribly as a whole but even the guys don't seem as far below the average as the women do.

If you're a girl who has posted in waywt recently this post IS about you. Don't think it isn't, you're fucking garbage.

I hate promotng misogyny but I agree. I agree so so much.

And they're usually pretty fit too (maybe they just want the attention? idk). Sheer tights and thigh length a-line skirts with a thin belt and a bland blazer is way overdone. And skintight errythang isn't /fa/ unless it's got an interesting drape or something.

Most of these girls on /fa/ give off the impression that they don't really care enough to put together something unique. As long as they've got a nice body and over 9000 neckbeards willing to suck up to them who needs respect.

>> No.7311913

All /fa/ female trips I can think off of the top of my head:

>Sicklysweet, rumpel, Pyrenees
All kind of blend together. Don't really seem to care about fashion whatsoever, all dress pretty blandly, just want attention or a place to talk about themselves.

>Tripsk
You can't really fault her because it seems like she actually has Aspergers or some other semi-serious mental/social affliction. Either way she's one of those girls who will never move beyond the "fast fashion" tier, no matter how many nicer pieces she manages to pick up. The taste just isn't there. As a result her well-intentioned advice posts are also mostly garbage just because she ends up recommending cheap, poor quality brands to people who don't know any better without (I think) really realizing what she's doing.

>Ena
Tasteful, but I wish she wouldn't wear so much fast fashion. I don't understand why she just doesn't move up to Celine, Lanvin, et al because she must have the money if she really is Mifune's sister. I'd really even just like to see her in cheaper Ann D stuff or something. Just not Zara.

>timber
I've only seen maybe two of her fits total, but it looks like she has a better wardrobe than most male posters here. That doesn't mean that she can put together consistently good fits or make those pieces work (but I've only seen the one she posted on sufu.) Also gets props for being the only female trip who seems to know anything about the fashion industry whatsoever.

>berry
Maybe has stopped posting...? I liked her all-Rick fits, especially the one with the turbo wedges and the tank. I wish she'd stick to Rick basics and leave the weird tumblr-goth stuff out of it, because I think she can pull off (the former) better than most.

>Eyebrows/voldemort
I feel like I could almost excuse her taobao/asos wardrobe by saying she genuinely wanted to improve, but it really seemed like that was not true at all. She posted the same fits with the same pieces over and over again and never took criticism.

I have been wondering this as well

all the men here inherently dress 2-3 notches above the typical male

even at a starting point,

but women who have been here for years dress fucked up.

I think it's because the women here are cheap, they probably go to the forever 21 sale rack and pick shit up off of there while the guys are copping $5000 retail jackets and at least $300 pants on everyone here so the differences in quality, materials worksmanship and fit (women don't visit seamstresses here) but all the men visit tailors regularly

What? What the actual fuck are you fucking talking about? Most Rick womenswear is VERY, VERY conventionally attractive. Form-fitting garments, tight skirts, high heels, slim-cut jackets and pants that elongate the limbs, draped cardigans and dark colors that conceal unattractive features.

There's not much here for girls. I don't think girls who actually care about clothes would post their outfits here.

I come to /fa/ sometimes to look at threads like those about different kinds of fabrics and materials, but that's it. I get a little bit of inspiration from men's clothing but there are better forums and sites for girls.

When I see girls posting their outfits I also see guys complimenting them, even though their fits are pretty bad. Guys here know nothing about girl clothes. No constructive criticism.

This may or may not be sincere, but either way it's fucking bait and anyone who takes it seriously is being damned foolish. We're to listen to an anonymous fuccboi of unknown taste saying bad shit about women on 4chan, when he can't even muster an actual example?

"If you're a girl who has posted in waywt recently this post IS about you. Don't think it isn't, you're fucking garbage."

Translation: I can't even bring a single actual example; I just want to stoke negative emotions in people for the lulz.

Enjoying being insulting is a youthful corruption of power.

Hopefully, no one will nurse the OP's dreck for an instant, but the point is: you don't only have to mean what you say. You have to determine whether there's a good reason to mean it at all. You have power - sure, not as much as Amis, he of the compulsorily vivid prose, but power. And if an Amis can worry about what he's doing to a Wilson or a Burroughs, you should be able to worry about what you're doing to innocuous strangers.
