    Never mind, pass them over."

    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?)

      Yes it is.

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

      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.

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

    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.

      I don’t think it’s fair to publicly show off and to lightly insult other people (the original post, unless it’s ironic and I’m missing the joke, is trying to make a point) and then not expect any sort of a response. These aren’t people just minding their business being teased. These appear to be extremely over confident people who crave attention, and they’re willing to put others down in the process.

      I don’t think they need to be defended.

      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.

        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.

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

                Jokes play on pre-existing expectations. Why is this funny? You don’t see these kinds of jokes every time a woman wears tight clothing, which is often.

                  I mean if you want to read into it like that the original post implies if you aren’t dressed like this you’re a slob. Seems hateful don’t you think? Or, it’s just a joke.

                  I know you. Your life is so hollow and you have absolutely nothing else going on so you have to create giant pools of drama everywhere under the guise of being a social justice warrior.

                  Ugh, sorry, that was a lot of words. What I meant to say was: Shut the fuck up.

          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.

      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.

      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…

    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.

    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!

    Why does it look like they raided a freshman college dorm laundry and only took out the clothes they could find from target
