Previous thread: >>18118327

I like this one because it's shaped like a boob.

>>18119538
Buy a chair instead of wasting your money on ugly shitters.

I just bought a speedy like 2 weeks ago and today found a retailer thats lost their longines partnership and is giving big discounts. Can get this legend diver 30% off which ends up being like $2250 and it's super tempting because it looked great in person. Probably shouldn't be buying another watch already though

>>18119533
>>18119535
I swear I only see DYER soi boys wear cartier IRL completely made me not want a cartier.

>>18119548
>DYER
Do you even Rick Owens ?

>>18119547
Did they "lose" the partnership, or are they just liquidating unsellable crap?

>>18119562
>We recently closed out of longines as of May 1st officially. I can give 30% off all (except 3) longines watches and 25% for spirit collection. Everything is brand new and warranty will be dated may 1st, because thats the last day we are authorized retailers. Some of the watches I can give 35% off, just ask.
Seems like they are no longer going to offer Longines so theyre just getting rid of them. If i hadnt just spent $7200 on this speedy it would be a no brainer but i havent even gotten the bracelet for this guy yet. Would be nice to have a nicer diver, the ones i have are just cheap beaters.

>>18119547
Paste this into Jomashop "LONGINES
Heritage Automatic Black Dial Men's Watch
Item No. L3.374.4.50."

$1,800

>>18119568
This isnt quite the same watch, the original picture is the L3.764.4.50.6.Also that band is worse than the jubilee bracelet.

>>18119574
Ah did not even notice that. I am not crazy about either of those but I happened to be on Joma searching Longines when I saw your post I am about to pull trigger on this guy I think

LONGINES
Heritage Automatic Black Dial Men's Watch
Item No. L2.822.4.56.9

>>18119576
I wasnt familiar with >>18119547 until i was browsing in a store and pictures really dont do it justice. I've not seen a black dial that is such a deep inky black, one of the nicest jubilees ive seen too.

>>18119587
Do you have to unscrew the top crown every time to move around the timer? I use my diving watches everyday to time myself swimming and then in the sauna that would be so whack if you do I am also in the market for a black dial that heritage model really caught my eye

>>18119600
Yes, thats the (super)compressor style.

>>18119594
its cosc chronometer-certified but not sure

>>18119600
I have no idea. It wasnt really on my radar when i was in store a month or two ago just really liked it. Then saw the post about the sale on them all and figured id inquire what price theyd give it a look

>>18119587
>jubilees
Looks like a beads of rice bracelet to me.

>bittercelling in a watch thread
Lmfao kek keys do you even have any income bro lmfaooOoOO

>>18119609
Yeah youre right that is what it is, i thought that was a style of jubilee

>>18119610
I went and saw the Summer Blue Heritage SM. I surprised how much I wasnt amazed by it. I really enjoy the wavy dial, but it seems nice though!

>>18119613
I was not thrilled when I saw it in person either in the boutique but under natural light it is very impressive which is odd bc normally in the store everything looks so crisp and sort of a let down outside. If he had not let me go out of the store under some natural light for a minute I prob would have passed on it myself

Why couldn’t they have just used the miyota 9075 instead of the seiko NH34. I love the dial but office gmt’s just aren’t as cool as true gmt’s

>>18119616
Hmm, I wonder if that was the case then. I wonder if the intense light just made everything seem to flat. If I go again, Ill take that into consideration. I was eyeing the green 38mm AT or the new green PO

>>18119620
Cost, or maybe they already had a bulk order purchased before the 9075 came out.

>>18119616
When I got mine I went to try on quite a few different watches but the moment I put it on I knew it was the one, the weight and proportions were perfect, three handed with a date, good brand, display caseback, nice bracelet, good legible colour scheme and hands. Ticked every box for me. It's a very nice watch, I'm very happy with mine.

I hate modern luxury sports watches. They look like toys.

I do fuck with Omegas white dials I likely will get the Craig to wear at my wedding

>>18119651
I wasn't such a fan of the white dial speedmaster at first but it is growing on me. I just don't really like the speedmaster much, I don't like the weight or feel of it, nor the fact there's no date window, and I don't like omega's refusal to change or update anything about it, they are clutching at the past and "muh moonwatch" way too much. The speedmaster 57 with the burgundy dial though, now you're talking that is a fucking stunning watch and fixes all the problems I find with the speedmaster moonwatch.

Is the 12 hour totalizer on a chronograph a game changer or is it sufficient to get a bicompax chrono?

>>18119660
Have you seen the new green constellation with meteorite dial? I am rocking with the one or the craig for the wedding

>>18119663
Some of us like to know what date it is nigger. Not all of us spend every day rotting in our parents basement making every day the same.

>>18119669
Just seen it, it is nice and interesting but personally I'm not a fan of the constellation I don't like the bezel.

>>18119672
>b-b-b-but I need to know the date!
Retard.

>>18119679
You don't need to know the date?

>>18119679
Yes, I need to make sure I don't miss your mother's fertile window.

>>18119684
The Casio Mud line is the lifted diesel pickup truck little men try to use to compensate for other things.

>>18119544
Nice I did too. I wonder how long we’ll have to wait. Kind of an impulse buy for me was looking for a dress watch and decided to see if kurono had anything coming up and they had a watch in my favorite colors going up for preorder the next day it was like provenance.

>>18119680
If I need to check the date (which happens maybe 4 times a year top) then I check my phone or computer. Or I ask people around me.
I refuse to have A FUCKING HOLE on my watch just because sometimes I need to check the date.
>DURRRR BUT IT'S USEFUL FOR ME!
Aesthetic > functionality
Do you wear cargo shorts too you fucking slob? They're more useful than trousers right?

>>18119696
Why do you need a watch then? Just check your phone.

>>18119700
Because I check the time 10 times a day and I like how they look.

>>18119702
Perhaps I like how a date window looks? I forget the date and need to remind myself often and it's far easier to glance at my wrist than get my phone out. The speedy 57 is a much better looking watch than the moonwatch, and is more functional too.

Pocket watches are a sign of class and sophistication. You do own one right?

>>18119689
What if if I want a rugged and strong watch for my big wrist. Any watch I put on is getting tiny on me.

>>18119689
Sounds big words from a impotent little dude

>>18119696
>If I need to check the date (which happens maybe 4 times a year top) then I check my phone or computer. Or I ask people around me.
You literally just defeated the purpose of wearing a watch at all beyond fashion. Literally, why bother with any complications? Why even bother setting your watch? Just wear a solid gold bracelet and check your phone.

>>18119709
the only thing that I owned is whoretadello

>>18119707
>Perhaps I like how a date window looks?
No you don't you fucking liar.
People like you want date windows on their watches because they feel like they have more bang for their bucks.
Let me guess, you also believe 4 Hz is better than 3 Hz right? Do you also wish the Speedmaster had 300m of water resistance? Gosh I hate retards like you. You're the reason modern watchmaking is so fucking awful.

>>18119711
Because they are the watch for sleazy businessmen and not the image I want to portray of myself.

>>18119720
I work night shift and between going to work at night, the date changing in the middle of my shift, and sleeping during the day most days but having to switch back and forth between nocturnal and diurnal on my days off, I find it can be very easy to lose track of what the day and date is. So it's just so much easier to be able to quickly look at a day date watch to verify the date when I'm sorting out paperwork and trying to log or schedule stuff.

>>18119718
whortadello is my little sissy slave

>>18119684
can you wear a mudmaster on the first date? or is that too obvious?

>>18119737
Obviously, not. I use it for everyday field work.

On a date I'll use a black dial Orient or whatever with leather strap (have good results with a simple Timex with a green nato strap from various women, strangely I now).

>>18119721
Not rugged and it can't handle hard work or accidental heavy bangs. Anyways, enjoy paying for service on your fragile nice watch

>>18119721
I forget to say you don't have a big wrist, the watch is tiny and you are fat (and brown).

>>18119743
There's nothing that would make any modern Rolex not rugged. Certainly not any of the ones without twisting bezels, other than polished surfaces getting scuffed up nothing is going to break. You fan find people having trouble with their submariner bezels getting stuck or turning the wrong way or whatever, but there's nothing to fuck up on a Datejust or Explorer.

>>18119747
I have the Rolex explorer 40mm and I love it, but I really hate the scrubs and scratches, so I can't work with it. I use it occasionally though.

No one told me they released the PRX in pink :3

I'm living for it, sisters, fr

>>18119720
The date on the Lange 1 improves its look, check mate.

>>18119724
Rolex's are the best watches, what are you talking about? Have you not seen the guide? Arguing about what Omega you should buy when you could just buy a Rolex for the same amount of money is just baffling.

>>18119765
giggle, $500 for a quartz that isn't a chronometer when they sell quarts chronometers for that much, giggle.

>>18119720
>you also like x y and z things that I hate
Nice strawmanning. Very unhinged.

>>18119782
>quarts chronometers for that much
I'm intrigued. link to some? I thought Tissot discontinued the quartz PR100 chronometer.

Not many companies bother getting COSC certification for quartz except Breitling.

>>18119778
I never said they weren't. They just aren't the watch I want. Wearing a Rolex portrays a certain kind of image about your character that I don't want to be associated with.

>>18119720
It's not about bang for your buck. I just like having the date on my watch too, if a watch is going to tell me the time, I would like it to display the date as well. I don't really care for frequency, it depends on the model of watch and what its purpose is, but generally yeah higher frequency is preferable. The speedmaster doesn't need 300m of water resistance because that's not what it was built for, but it would be nice for it to have at least 100m for peace of mind.

>>18119776

"Why are silk suits more expensive than rayon suits?"

>>18119885
The question wasn't why they're more expensive.

>>18119894
Spring drive movement I guess. That is extortionate though.

>>18119894
I am lost in confusion after seeing this watch. I don't know what to feel. On one hand it's good news that they're bringing spring drive out to the regular Seiko lines. On the other hand it's an overpriced watch with a functionally worthless bezel

>>18119897
>>18119894
If Seiko just put out lower end just competently finished watches with no frills and spring drive movements for around $2000 or so they'd probably do really well. I say $2000 not really knowing what it actually costs to produce the movements and how much of the cost of Grand Seikos is just meticulously finishing every watch, but I understand they still want to keep the movements relatively exclusive.

>>18119900
Well it takes about 5 years of training before a grand Seiko employee can properly do the zaratsu polishing on watches that are sold to the public...

>>18119741
so if a mudmaster signals preference for anal, what vibe does the nato timex give off?

>>18119927
Wasn't it 2 years? Or maybe 3. Definitely not 5.
Also, Omega bros are taking over. We need to do something.

>>18119900
it's hand made so it's expensive

But how much of that is polishing and finishing for the exhibition case back? How much work is it to connect an electronic board to a rotor? I don't doubt it's a lot more work than an NH35, but is it 10 times more work? 100 times more work? 1000 times more?

When will you people learn and acknowledge that with watches it's ALL about design?

>>18120047
You need to include research and development into it, it took them 30 years to make it work.

>>18120047
ultimately im never buying it. already overspend way too much on 2 presage shitters and I feel it's enough forever. it's all overprices scam all of it from lolex to casio.

>>18120097
Why didn't they design a useful bezel? Could have been a GMT bezel, could have been a timing bezel, could have been a slide rule bezel... Just about anything but a tachymeter bezel would have been more useful.

>>18120102
They've already been selling it in $10-30k watches almost 30 years, haven't they recouped their costs yet?

Can you read? It's not about it being useful, it's about design.

>>18120112
>haven't they recouped their costs yet?
They probably have, but this is the thing that is totally unique to them, so they have to milk it as much as they can. If they start putting them in 2k Seikos too much nobody would buy Grand Seikos anymore.

>>18120125
>nobody would buy Grand Seikos anymore

Because accuracy is a meme, my miyota-driven microshitter gains less than 1min of error in over a month, which is completely fine for everyday use

Posting the most accurate stand alone high accuracy HAQ quartz watch ITT so far.

>>18120279
>which is completely fine for everyday use
Yes, but imagine you have autism and severe social anxiety. Now to-the-second accuracy will matter quite a bit because it will make you feel like you have some semblance of control over your life.

>>18120048
He doesn't actually think that, he NEEDS to think that [that's the case].
Think about it this way. You've been posting on /wt/ for many years, you've established a social circlejerk of people that, while not necessarily friends, you've come to know each other through your watches, the way they write out their thoughts etc. All is good in your hugbox.
And then a guy (me) with seikos show up, and completely runs the show. He's rich-er than you, he has touched a woman, or even worse, he actually has sex with them. He makes them pose with his Daily watches, but to you, said saily watches are your grail.
While you contemplate for years back and forth to buy a 900$ watch, he went and bought 2 watches worth more than your car, within 2 weeks.
He goes on vacation to Japan, he comes back, liked it so much there so he decides to permanently move there. Quits his job (in todays economy), and just goes and does it. Others need 5 years of meticulous calculations to move three blocks down, but he? He did it on a wimp.
In Japan, he does everything you wanted to do.
>"Maybe one day I will visit...!"
(For 10 days).
He got a girlfriend, moved in together- everything is going well.
Everytime he posts, the thread gets derailed and I don't even do anything besides posting my watches, and these pictures are sometimes accompanied with a female in them. It's enough to make you lose your shit because--
So what do you do? You make up stories.
It started with:
>Not even his watches
To
>he's bald
To
>he's fat
To
>he's a sex trafficker
To
>The police are chasing him
Etc. After posting his face/body, basically doxxing himself, all that suddenly changed.
>"Well okay he's not bald or fat, BUT he still needs to pay for sex!"
And now we are at
>"Paris syndrome will hit him soon"
Completely ignoring the number one factor as of why the Paris syndrome is a thing and that these "Factors" don't exist in Japan.
>Tl;dr

>>18120315
>Star Bar

>>18120315
When you're taking these wrist shots and concocting this coping self soothing gibberish, do you ever snap violently back to reality in the realization that you burned your own life down, there's nothing meaningful left in your existence, and at that exact moment and at all other times when she is not in your line of sight your girlfriend is sucking someone else's dick? Does it give you cold sweats? I honestly couldn't live with myself if I were in your position.

>>18120315
I agree the whoretadello hate is boring and overplayed. But if your life was actually good, you wouldn't have SO much to prove. You get clowned on, realise why, and accept it. It's not likely to change so just embrace it. Lashing out like you have so much to prove just makes you look insecure as fuck.

>>18120326
Is the ceramic scratched or just has smudges on it?

>>18120315
What are the supposed conditions that lead to Paris syndrome which France has but Japan does not?

>>18120315
To summarize:

You showed up, started avatarfagging and expected everyone to like you. That clearly hasn't happened so now you just want to ruin the general.

>>18120335
In this generation? Definitely. The Pepsi's bezel is far too fragile, and there's way too many stories of them cracking. The jubilee is way bettet than PCL, and I'm not left handed, so the Sprite would look terrible.

My main hangup is the 32xx movement issue, but I'll sell if they haven't fixed it by the time my warranty is up

>>18120315

I must say I'm pretty partial to the new Earl grey.

>>18120338
Exactly this.
The other avatarfags like Mort and OmegaDrunk get some shit because this is still 4chan.
Whoretadello is different because he actually seems to expect that people will like his bullshit blogposting. So now he's mad and is trying to redefine his poor impulse control and chaotic life as some kind of flex.

Whatever, though. If he's not gonna, someone's got to take it to watches.

>>18120339
>My main hangup is the 32xx movement issue, but I'll sell if they haven't fixed it by the time my warranty is up
I feel the same way. The problem doesn't seem to be universal, and even if Rolex comes up with a fix, they'll just quietly do it at service time and never tell anyone, which is a little frustrating.

>>18120351
I do want a bit of color for the GMT, the old full black LN version aside.

It came out at a bad time, frankly. Everyone was expecting the coke.

>>18120354
The mental illness is just straight up apparent. Well-adjusted people don't act like that in any way.

Yup, agreed. The complete radio silence makes me extremely mistrustful.

>>18120335
Definitely of the ones currently in production.
The classic aluminum Pepsi bezel is still undefeated, though.

The ceramic Pepsi doesn't look right. The colors are slightly wrong.

Personally I've always preferred the Jubilee to the Oyster. It's much more comfortable than the Oyster and the current gen Jubilee should not have the tendency to stretch over time like the old ones did.

>>18120368
I prefer the Coke to the Pepsi, personally.

I think people just really got it in their heads that this was going to be the year that Rolex brought it back. Rolex hype and watch "journalism" is strange like that. One site will idly speculate or even just say they wish a certain model will come out, then the next site says it might come out, then the next site says it's probably coming out, then the first site sees all that "news" and writes a long post about how their wishes are coming true.

>>18120370
But that's the thing, you actually don't contribute to discussion, you post pictures of what you're doing with your watch as a signature so people know it's you. Hense avatar or signature use. Your posts are not about watches, they are about you.

>>18120361
I would hope so considering it's multiple magnitudes more expensive than my beater casio. Still love this casio though, always smack on accurate, titanium construction, and a sapphire crystal for $150 and its so comfortable I forget I'm wearing it. Love this little thing. Casio wins over all

>>18120373
>Your posts are not about watches, they are about you.
Every post reveals something about the poster. For instance, you consistently reveal how someone else owning a Rolex makes you incredibly bitter.

What's fun about you is your ego. You always respond to the lamest bait, thank you for that.

You're nothing more than the literal definition of useful idiots, a bunch of tasteless wannabe snobs, milking cows to your local ADs. If you had an inkling of self sense and the acumen to study horological history, appreciate & safeguard it like any watch connoisseur should, you would be wearing exclusively pocket watches. They were the man's choice before wrist watches and are a sign of actual heritage and class.<br>Pic related, my Swiss 14k slimline dress pocket watch, something you can't even dream of acquiring.

>>18120273
Honestly don't know. Ive never really tested it, but it has kept time consitently over multiple days so theres that. It's also from 1966 so I don't expect much. It needs to be serviced again. Something in the automatic is loose after I was wearing it during some hard activities. It like gets stuck randomly so the watch won't wind. Otherwise ir still works great. Last time I took it to get services the old Japanese guy at the place got really excited about it. Something about it being rare because the movement inside is colored gold and Seiko stopped doing that in the 60s. I'm going to take it back to the same place, I hope the guy still works there. It was last serviced like 5 years ago so.....
I also wana get a sapphire crystal for it. The generic crystal it has on it got scuffed pretty badly a while ago. Love this little Seiko though, wearing it to a wedding today

>>18120403
I had a similar problem, one of the screws securing the movement to the case was replaced and didn't fit so the rotor would grind against the caseback. I doubt you'll be able to find a sapphire crystal for it, it's a pretty unique shape and it would cost a fortune to get one custom made. They replaced the crystal on mine when i last got it serviced for free and it's acrylic anyway, so the thing buffs out by itself basically through normal wear, you can also polish it yourself with a cloth and some Polywatch. Glad you enjoy it!

>>18120554
>I do not understand the hype behind Credor.
Same.

For myself, I'd prefer a high end independent like a Moser, Journe, DeBethune, etc.
I wouldn't say I have a grail, though. I don't subscribe to the idea of a grail or end-game watch or anything like that. It just feels like trying to attach some emotional significance to a purchase in order to justify the expenditure.

mechanical watch enjoyers are like "uhhh let me pay thousands to have something less accurate than the clock on my microwave, just so I can see a ticking seconds hand"

>>18120354
yup agreed hes an annoying faggot. based 2 tone anon

>>18120569
Yeah I feel the same way about "grails". Not necessarily the endgame, but if I had to have a watch that is currently unattainable and what would be the first one I purchased if I had the funds, that's what I imagine a grail as. Realistically there are hundreds of different watches I could choose from.

>>18120587

Paris Syndrome is a term for tourist disillusionment; when a visitor to a given place has spent considerable time putting that place up on a pedestal, they can quickly get disappointed to the point where psychiatric symptoms like anxiety, depression, and feelings of persecution can manifest.

The term was originally coined in the 1980s to describe how disappointed a some Japanese tourists are when they visit Paris, since Paris is very idealized in Japanese pop culture.
Nowadays it is more broadly used to describe being disappointed by any tourist destination that has been idealized.

A child visiting Disney World can be disappointed by the long lines, for example.
A person visiting Las Vegas, imaging it to be glamorous like in "Ocean's 11" is disappointed to find it's tacky and grimy.
A weeb visiting Japan discovers that catgirls aren't real and being into anime as an adult makes you just as much of a social outcast there as back home.

Anon is trying to take cope by saying that Paris Syndrome can ONLY happen to tourists in Paris.

>>18120775
Nobody is ever going to take you seriously with a pocket watch. There is no reason to own one. A wristwatch is superior in every single way, that is why they have been widely adopted. You're just trying to be different for the sake of it.

>where the fuck is my sissy slave whortadello???
Total. Whortadello. Enslavement.

>>18120826
I know all of this, I'm asking the retard saying Paris syndrome doesn't happen in japan to explain his retardation. I want him to internalize in his own mind why that is bullshit.

>>18120666
>is it me or is 38mm the perfect size? im tired of big watches

I think every watch design has a size that it works best at and trying to grow or shrink it typically spoils it.
Some watches are just meant to be big and some are meant to be small. Panerais look strange when they're scaled-down. The Speedmaster Pro is meant to be 42mm. The Explorer and Datejust look awful in when they're bigger than 36mm.

What I do appreciate is that more men are becoming more realistic about the sizes of watches that actually fit their wrist and are buying smaller watches as a result. (Which, in turn has more watchmakers putting out smaller models)

>>18120833
Ah, OK. I misunderstood your post. Sorry.

>Whoretadelloooo, where are you? These cocks ain't gonna suck themselves...

>>18120834
I think the biggest factor in converting people over to smaller watches is just convincing someone who wears big watches to just try a nice small OP style watch daily for a week or two to get used to it and start to appreciate how much lighter and more comfortable smaller watches are. Certain watches are better at certain sizes, sure, but I think just saying that leads a lot of people to come to a conclusion of "well, I wear 42mm watches so I guess I just can't wear a 36mm datejust then because that's not my size." just looking at numbers on a spreadsheet and not giving them a real college try is how you get set in the "men's size/women's size" mindset.

Is the helium escape valve on the seamaster actually there to help validate your pronouns?

>>18120843
>convincing someone who wears big watches to just try
You're exactly right. I wore a 43mm Breitling for years, having convinced myself that it fit. (It did not.)
Then I got a chance to try a 38mm Blancpain Bathyscaphe back to back with the 43mm version (I wanted to see how the gray looked and they only had a blue one in 43mm) and I bought the 38mm on the spot.
It was like a light flipped on. It was so much lighter and thinner. It looked so much more proportional to my wrist. (6.75")

As another anon suggested, i put this on a black leather strap with a gold buckle

>>18120828
I'm 42 and I can say you’re wrong. How old are you? You may still have time not whoriing about others.

>>18120867
The issue in the modern context is we all have smartphones and they are literally better pocket watches in every way, so it makes no sense to have two things you pull out of your pocket to get the time when one only tells time and the other also tells the weather forecast and breaking news and plays cracked 16 bit video games. Why would you even waste your time and pocket space? Wristwatches at least allow you to quickly look at them without putzing around in your pockets.

>>18120877
Yeah, it's black people's fault that entertainment media has pumped up French culture for 200 years so everyone going there expects beautiful charming high fashion people only to be hit by a wall of piss smell when they leave the airport and get yelled at by mean old hags wearing rags and hurried along by rude people bothered that you're in their way.

>>18120890
name 2 reasons to use a pocket watch over a wristwatch

>>18120897
Wearing a pocket watch is a nostalgic and stylish way to connect with the past while also making a statement about one's individuality. Firstly, a pocket watch is a tangible representation of a bygone era, evoking the elegance and sophistication of a time long past. It's a conversation starter, inviting people to ask about its history and significance, which can lead to meaningful connections and shared stories. Secondly, a pocket watch is a personal accessory that can be tailored to an individual's unique style and personality, whether it's a classic leather-bound case or a modern, avant-garde design. It's a way to express one's personality and add a touch of whimsy to their daily attire, making them stand out in a crowd while still being respectful of tradition.

>>18120905
bro just stick with the fedora LOL

>>18120905
A lot of things are nostalgic and connect to the past that just flat out are not as good as stuff we have now. It's just the truth
>BUT YOU WEAR MECHANICAL WATCHES
Yeah, but they're at least usable. Pocket timepieces are just one more thing to carry around in your pockets. It's a waste of space that can be used for much better things.

>>18120928

>>18120937
I prefer that bracelet but those dials are too fussy, I wanted something elegant and minimalist. Could you replace the strap with the one off that one though?

upgrade from the discontinued sarb033 in the same style? only thing I'm really seeing is an OP and not sure if I want to spend that much money

>>18120876
Name me the 2 last times someone asked you the weather forecast and breaking news and plays cracked 16 bit video games?

>>18120956
Why would anyone? They have smartphones too. They only ask the time (or date) if they see you have a wristwatch and you telling them will be faster than pulling their phone out of their pocket.

If they see you don't have a watch on, they won't ask you at all.

>>18120956
Why do you have to be asked? If it's useful to know you look it up.

>>18120738
This would look great if it wasn't a flying saucer.

>>18120956
Honestly the weather comes up all the time when I'm talking with my wife or coworkers. It's kind of a funny thing, when you're a kid you joke about how boring it is how much old people talk about the weather but when you get owner and you have to run a household and maintain your property it's amazing how much the weather dictates almost everything you need to do. It's actually so important.

>>18120972
why'd they kill the best size? you have to go 36 (too small) or 41 (too big)

Silly gold (tone) A168 is complete. I actually kinda like it, despite not really being into gold watches. I'm tempted to put together a couple of the more reasonable ones now.

>>18119566

former dermatolofag medical assistant here,

All moisturizer is pretty much the same, they're just different in marketing techniques. Never trust the expensive shit, (((they))) just want to drain your bank account because you're retarded.

Simply get one that doesn't irritate your skin (everyone is different) and best time to apply it is after a shower/washing your face to lock in the moisture and keep you hydrated for longer.

I also recommend doing MINERAL sunscreen, SPF 30-50 is fine, (face, chest/neck, and tops of the hands) applied/re-applied every 2 hours that you're in the sun for the best protection and to keep your skin looking young. You can also get moisturizers that have sunscreen in them for a 2 in 1.

DO NOT USE CHEMICAL SUNSCREEN, although it soaks into your skin better and doesn't leave that white/pale cream look to your face, it's not good for your skin long term.

Hope this helps you retards.

>>18119662
>DO NOT USE CHEMICAL SUNSCREEN
how do you know if it's chemical sunscreen or not. also does a SPF moisturiser like picrel count as a chemical sunscreen?

>>18119662
are the roll on deodorant bar types of sunscreen fine anon? they're popular with hikers for the weight reduction compared to a liquid sunscreen but i'm curious if they're bad for skin.

>>18119688
NTA, but if they are natural and artificial chemical free it's fine

>>18119678
dermatolofag here

Google is free. Search up what the difference in mineral vs chemical sunscreens are. Biggest takeaway is to look at ingredients. 95% of the sunscreen aisle in places like Target/Walmart are chemical sunscreens. You gotta look hard for mineral sunscreen.

>>18119690
Pretty much this. Bonus points if it's mineral, but I've never used that form of sunscreen to know if they sell it that way. It's not gonna kill you to use chemical sunscreens, it's just not as healthy and I'm really health conscious.

>>18119566
Why does the existence of slightly more expensive stuff make low tier men seethe so hard?

>>18119698
I was asking how you know if it's chemical/mineral? Will it say, because I've never seen a sunscreen that calls itself a chemical/mineral sunscreen on the bottle

you should try and learn to fish instead of asking to be fed.

mineral = zinc oxide or titanium dioxide

Men in Makeup?

What does /fa/ think of this? Seems like the sort of androgyny akin to the 80s with guys like Prince and David Bowie is making a comeback (not accounting for all the trans/genderqueer/whatever nonsense)

>>18119704
idk how this dude reminds you of prince or bowie apart from the fact that he's feminine. the dude just sells makeup and talks shit on the internet
also, a comeback? i don't think androgyny was ever popular outside of artists and musicians. the "trans genderqueer whatever nonsense" is just mostly mentally ill fags with way to much time on their hands, residing mostly in north america. it doesn't seem to have much to do with androgyny and carrying both male and female physical qualities and more about gender identity and wtf people call you.

Many such cases.

Jeffree Star was cooler when he was goth

It’s gay. Unless you are (we’re at this point) rockstar, it’s just something you see on the internet. You don’t even see this in public unless the person is a faggot letting the world know he’s a faggot, or it’s Halloween. It wasn’t even normal during the MySpace days and was just for the internet. The only places in public that normalize it are Korea and Japan, and that’s limited to BB cream.


Where's the best place to buy cheap, good quality wifebeaters for outdoor wear? I tried Hanes but they were so thin they were transparent and just overall bad quality.

How to fix

I exercise often & my hair gets oily real quick, then i’ll shampoo and my hair gets dry and awful, it’s a cycle. How to fix this?

>>18119809
Wash your hair without shampoo. If you don't know already, you shouldn't use shampoo every day.

>>18120998
How are you gonna wash off oily hair with just water?

>>18119809
Gene editing. You can't change your hair, it just is how it is. Asian people never have to shampoo and nordic people have to shampoo like twice a day. There's no secret except genetics.

>>18119809
Same here anon. Thinking of taking the buzz pill so I don’t have to deal with it anymore.

>>18121030
you don't need to remove the oil.


Do people often call you a faggot

... when you walk down the streets, just because of how you look or dress?

>>18119817
it's happened to me maybe twice in my life. and i DO dress like a faggot.

>>18119821
It happened maybe 7 times in my life and it hurts every time :-(

>>18119817
No, but sometimes they slap my ass and startle me.

>>18119817
Never. I'm 6'3, bald, and have soulless autism stare, I've been told I look like I'm a minor inconvenience away from committing mass murder. Once people get to know me they tell me I'm surprisingly friendly and helpful, I just look at bit intimidating at first.

And I do dress like a faggot so maybe just look like you're about to go for a mass shooting high score at all times?

>>18119817
No one who isn't a direct family member has ever commented on how I dress

Only once, for carrying a messenger bag. Got the classic “nice purse fag”

I was frequently called a twink so I threw out all my slim fit jeans/pants and replaced them with straight or loose fit. Would recommend

>>18119817
Has never happened to me and I dress in the two gayest styles: TIP and americana.

Someone yelled "marica" at me when I rode past him on my bike wearing lycra and a pink neck gaiter.

Obviously, I was flattered, but due to social pressure I pretended not to hear him because reacting positively might have created a dangerous situation.

>>18119817
They don't call Me a faggot but most of My close male friends do. Usually from strangers I get compliments on My outfits and styles.

I tend to dress like a JoJo character including makeup and high heels often so do what you will with that information. Children occasionally mistake Me for a woman.

>>18119817
No, but they always ask me why I'm so dressed up because all they ever wear is a t-shirt and sweatpants.

i'm convinced andrew tate is a psy-op to make white woman lust after dysgenic mulatto men.

women never bitch about a guy as much as him unless they're getting cunt tingles.

IS THAT A FUCKING LOGO ON THAT SHIRT

DISGUSTING

THE MATERIAL THE CUT AND THE FIT SHOULD SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

>>18120133
>THE MATERIAL THE CUT AND THE FIT SHOULD SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

Unironically yes. Are you fucking retarded? Why should I pay a company to advertise their clothes? That's all a logo is. A logo only serves two functions:

1: To advertise allegiance to a brand
2: To broadcast like a twat that you've bought an expensive thing. I'm neither black nor poor, I don't feel the need to do that. People with actual money don't do that, that's where the terms "stealth wealth" and "quiet luxury" came from before they got raped by TikTok retards.

If an article of clothing is well made, cut well, and fits well on me, why do I care about advertising who made it?

I'm open to legitimate discussion here. How does a logo enhance an article of clothing?

>>18120139
Also, the more expensive an article of clothing is, the less likely there are to be logos or branding on it. There's a reason for that, alot of times the branding/logos are tacky because a logo is by design supposed to be eye catching.

Let's look at polos. Look at Ralph Lauren polos with huge fucking polo players all over them, then look at Kent Wang. The KW polo is more expensive (and arguably better made) but has zero logo or branding. There's a reason for that, they don't feel the need to advertise their product the same way RL does.

RL polos aren't well made anymore and they fit like shit, when you buy one with a huge logo you're just doing it to show the logo off, not the actual quality of the piece.

Supreme tshirts are another example. I'm not a T-shirt nerd but even I know the supreme tees aren't made of fancy fabric or loophwheel construction, they're regular tees that are expensive because they say supreme. Same with BAPE ripping off Nike designs, you're just paying for branding.

that's the only reason why I hate branded clothes

>>18120152
Still not seeing Loro in there, you also conveniently neglected the second half of my comment where I said the term had been ruined by retards.

It's fine bro, keep slapping brands all over your body like your a NASCAR vehicle competing in the Stupid Faggot 500

no meme arrow<br>therefore you say this and look like this

>>18120164
>Hehe those npcs dont even realize my silk blend shirt with mother of pearl buttons cost 1500 dollars more than their essentials hoodie! What fools!

>>18120177
You keep implying I'm telling people to spend 1500 on a hoodie because you can't refute my initial point.

The single brand I mentioned in the non branded category was Kent Wang, their polos are around $150. Which is more than Ralph Lauren but no where near $500 for an overpriced Loro Piana polo.

I know this will shock you because you're a stupid faggot who can't understand nuance but just because something is more expensive doesn't mean it's better. My point was people flaunt branding as I'd was a sign of prestige, but the actual prestige brands don't have excessive branding.

You do you though, keep paying companies to advertise their shit, I'm sure you're very fashionable bro.

>>18120133
you take pride in owning popular name brand products and feel threatened by people who don’t share your reverence for corporate idols.

i'm pretty sure stealth wealth and the no logos thing is a trend i started on internet fashion forums over a decade ago. its cool to see it evolve into a full on tiktok meme. crazy how easy it used to be to influence the fashion zeitgeist in the 2000s internet.

This is very true. It's also far, far more rare to have your expectations about someone, based on their clothing and appearance, contradicted rather than confirmed when you get to know them.
We live in a SOCIETY where you can choose virtually any garment at any price point, the only limiting factors are wealth and taste, every garment you wear IS making a statement whether you like it or not.

coping in a 3k+ fit every day


Male Shapewear

I lost a lot of weight (350 to 230). I still have a lot of loose skin and gyno. Is it reasonable to wear compression clothing to hide my loose skin and boobs? Feel guilty about it desu but also still feel very uncomfortable in most clothes

You do whatever is the needful. You have no reason to feel guilty about it. If women can literally wear war paint in the name of makeup and hide their real faces, then you have every right to wear compression clothing.


Do clothes look bad nowadays because they’re all cheaply made? It seems like you have to spend hundreds on something for it to look nice, whereas in the past everything, cheap and expensive, just appeared to be made with better material.

>>18120138
It's because old portable cameras shot really poor quality photos.

>>18120138
1: Construction quality has decreased because clothes are by design not made to last, you're supposed to consume thing for one season and then consume new thing next year. If this was the model for cheap clothes it would be fine but even more prestigious labels/brands now follow the same model to maximize profits.

As with most things,social media is partly to blame. People don't buy one or two well made shirts, they'll buy a dozen shitty ones that don't hold up so they can post different looks and drive engagement. That's why "haul" videos are popular.

2: Outsourcing labor is another issue. People have been told it would cost a lot more to have clothing made in first world countries, this is only partly true.

The labor cost would be higher to have clothes made in the US however the company would spend less on transport and import cost for shipping shit around the world, but they don't tell the consumer that.

Also, god help me for saying this, clothes made in third world countries aren't inherently bad, they can make excellent clothes just like we can. The problem is when the company is only paying absolute shit wages and has rushed production schedules to minimize the overall amount of money they pay the workers, so you get unskilled workers making shit fast and cheap.

If you're into shoes, look up Grant Stone. Yes the shoes are made in China, but they're equally as well made as Allen Edmonds and sadly close to modern Alden as well since their quality has gone downhill, and for a lower price than either.

3: You can opt out of the cycle and buy as much second hand as possible. If you know you're measurements and know what you want, you can easily build a great looking wardrobe from eBay and get vintage, well made items in natural fabrics and still look "trendy" because ever modern trend is pretty much a rehash of shit that already happened.

>>18120138
The clothes I wore when I was a kid used to be like 3 times thicker and 5 times more durable. Even my jeans when I was around 12 were like heavy weight raw denim in comparison to what you get these days. And they were all cheap as fuck even back then and pure cotton. No polyester plastic blended bullshit.

>>18120138
That's capitalism for you.
Maximizing profits led to cutting corners, using polyester instead of cooton an so on. But you can still find good quality for cheap in european brands.

>>18120138
The quality definitely is shittier and it’s harder to find something made 100% wool or cotton than them mixed with polyester or some other shit and those 100% wool or cotton garments are viewed as some sort of luxury and are more expensive as if they were any harder to make.

The thickness of cotton garments has definitely decreased since I was a child. You have to really search for thick shit now, used to be you'd be in kids gap husky jeans and a Oshkosh hat and you were good to go.

>>18120149
social media's blame is infinitesimally smaller than greedy bosses/CEOs/shareholders. just like literally every other problem on the globe, it started from greedy people in power saying: "wait, couldn't we become even more rich by stealing even more from the poor?" and the answer was yes, indeed they could

>>18120329
Consumers almost universally prefer to buy cheap disposable fast fashion garbage over quality clothing. There is plenty of reasonably affordable nice quality clothing still made today but people will pick the $18 made in india 8oz 50% plastic crewneck sweatshirt over the $65 16oz all cotton made in usa sweatshirt. Even when people buy expensive clothing it's usually cheap basic garments made in the third world with brand logos screen printed on to them.
If people actually demanded higher quality locally made garments they would be more available.
You can buy 8oz made in usa all cotton T-shirts for $5-$6 each today right now and barely anyone does.

Market researcher here. It's a bit of both. People DO care about quality and ethical sourcing and whatnot, but ultimately price is normally the deciding factor. I once helped host a workshop for a poultry company. They're pretty big, ship around Europe, have a solid consumer base, and all bar one person on the board was pretty passionate about making sure their chickens were as free range and happy as could be. But they were starting to get overtaken by cheaper factory farm competitors. And their main product was just raw chicken breast packs, so nothing fancy you could sell as being "special" or "quality", rather just a weekly staple, cheap n easy.
Watching them workshop with customers and have THEM try to make the case to not cost cut for the sake of ethics while their customers all said "well, I mean, I would like to think the chickens are treated well....but I have bills" said it all.

It's not 1-for-1 with clothes because it's fucking food (though you could argue it's better to eat quality over quantity) but it tends to be the same across a lot of products in my experience. I'll blame corpos where I can, but sometimes people prove to be mindless consumers first.

>>18120138
>It seems like you have to spend hundreds on something for it to look nice, whereas in the past everything, cheap and expensive, just appeared to be made with better material.
clothes used to be higher quality but also more expensive.
open up an old sears or montgomery ward catalogue and an inflation calculator.
poor coal miners during the great depression used to pay at minimum:
$150-300 for a pair of jeans.
$600 at minimum for a pair of boots.
$80 for a work shirt
$40 for an undershirt
etc
the way POVERTY STRICKEN COAL MINERS DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION dressed is legitimately too expensive for most anons on this board these days. its sad. just look at how many anons sperg about selvedge denim even though the modern day stuff is cheaper than what POOR COAL MINERS DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION used to wear. i'm not cherry picking rich people clothes. this is how POOR PEOPLE dressed a century ago.

sorry let me correct myself POOR PEOPLE DURING A MAJOR ECONOMIC DEPRESSION dressed 50x nicer than the average jobless /fa/ zoomer.

right now and for the last few years between 30-40% of all international packages entering the united states come from just shein and temu. mostly women's polyester fashion hauls full of $2 clothes.

That's shareholder capitalism for you. Gotta maximize dem returns bro

It would be cool to kind of rotate between 5 outfits but its almost unacceptable to others

>>18120760
It's totally doable if they are stables that can be mix and matched.
But it's also assuming that you don't get fat every 5 or 10 years like a lot of "people".

one of the biggest myths in my experience is this notion that made in the usa clothing is always superior in quality to clothing made in 3rd world countries. ive had 20 dollar ll bean t shirts and dress shirts last longer than my 120 dollar made and sewn in the usa dress shirts. at the end of the day, no matter where the factory is, it is essentially comprised of a bunch of brown immigrant women sitting at sewing machines, usa or otherwise.

>>18120760
i have a massive wardrobe but i get blackpilled on fashion a lot. every 5 years or so i flip flop between /effort/ fashion sperg dressing and denim dan mode. when i'm in denim dan mode i wear like 2 pairs of jeans, 1 jacket, 1-2 sweaters, and 4 shirts for the entire year. nobody notices because the weather's pretty different day to day and i change the shoes/accessories up. it helps that maybe once a month i change it up and dress completely differently to throw people off. like the other day i busted out the full rick $10k fit it was fun.

>>18120796
its meaningless because "made in usa" only refers to the final sewing/assembly of the garment. you can ship straight up slop textile straight from china, pay an illegal immigrant below minimum wage to sew it together, and call it "made in usa" legally.
the brands that don't do this and aren't ripping you off will tell you where the cotton was grown, where it was milled into textile, and often times they'll give you the exact names of the farms and mill. without that information (or the equivalent to it for other garments) made in usa may as well mean nothing. usa is a high tier region to grow cotton in but not even really the best in the world.
AND ALSO
there isn't inherently anything good about making textile in a first world country. its like the selvedge line on jeans -- a company that pays first world wages to their textile workers IS LESS LIKELY TO cut huge corners elsewhere. that's all it means. more likely to not be shit. doesn't mean it isn't shit.

Partly but it’s mostly the people themselves looking like shit.

>>18120914
ww1 -> ww2 meatgrinder of white death then mass immigration really did a number on the average american and european physique. europe was hit less hard by immigration, or at least less quickly than america, but it was made up for in all the weird eugenics shit that happened over the last century like scandinavians force sterilizing guys who looked too swole at the gym.

Clothes have always been expensive. They just figured out how to manufacture fashionslop at the speed of light and now $10 for a pair of pants is normal.

>>18120957
>now $10 for a pair of pants is normal.
And people look at you weird if you say you spent $100 on one pair.


Summer Shorts

Why do most men's shorts options end up being polyester trash or gym shorts? I've been looking for stuff like pic related (mostly cotton or natural fiber) and find very little that genuinely seems worth buying. Any recs?

hijaking this thread i'm thinking about getting nipponese jinbei shorts for the sommer thoughts?

Daring and cultured. I like how you think.

>>18120158
I bought some jinbei from a secondhand shop in Tokyo, pretty comfy

>>18120132
Because it dries quicker when you're sweating like a pig and is a little more comfortable. I'm all for "natural" fabrics, but a little bit of stretch in shorts is great during hot days. Alternatively linen is good, but not very sturdy and wrinkles if you care about that.

>>18120265
>stretch
What's with people wanting stretch in everything these days? If you need stretch, then you're wearing clothes that are too tight for you. Stop trying to dress like a stripper to show your "curves", and buy clothes in regular fit instead of slim and skinny fit.

>>18120288
Finally someone says it. But it goes for men also

>>18120132
the upper blocks on shorts are always cut goofy and the thighs are always too billowy and huge for my legs.
i buy chinos or raw denim jeans then cut them off into shorts. jeans are fine with a raw hem but you want to go like an inch too long because they will shorten and fray over the first few washes. chinos should be folded and hemmed cleanly where you cut.
looks way better on my twink physique. gets constant compliments and irl w2c asks.

>>18120132
I just go to the thrift store and buy jeans I can make jorts out of. 5" inseam max btw.

I don’t think there is any way for men to pull of shorts other than an athleisure fit full lululemon or something comparable. There’s no khaki short fit that doesn’t look you’re about to do it to em. Maybe if you’re literally on a boat it works.

>>18120132
i found some that look exactly like pic related at a local thrift store made by polo ralph lauren. cost $3

>>18120132
ive been wearing the same pair of patagonia shorts made out of recycled fishing nets for the past 5 years or so. if youre concerned about plastics against your nuts then just cut out the mesh. i wear wool underwear with mine and theyre great, super durable and dry quickly


Body hair

What should I be using to maintain body hair? Any reccs? Something that catches hair would be ideal, shit goes everywhere. I won't buy anything Manscaped since anything shilled by YouTubers is also cheap garbage.

>>18120183
What are you looking to accomplish? If you're a man you should be trimming your pubes and underarm hair to a 2 guard and leaving everything else.

If you're a troony invest in an epilator and get used to the pain. Hands down the best way to remove body hair and it lasts for ages.

>>18121285
Normal guy, I just want to trim things to be nice and neat.


I'm an elder vampire (female) in an upcoming video game, rate my fit.

>Why do dykes want to be unnattractive?
Sexual abuse is what caused them to be gay in the first place. It's a defense mechanism but they're too stupid to realize predators operate on attacking low self esteem social outcasts that are isolated from everyone else. If they were attractive and socially normal they'd unironically be better protected.

How do I get a good fitting pair of jeans? Mine always look like this

>>18120350

Buy a slim/tapered cut and then get them hemmed properly.

>>18120350
Buy from myntra india sir
https://www.myntra.com/

>>18120350
go to a store that sells blue jeans and try on different brands until you find one that looks good on you. a bit labor intensive but it works

>>18120350
pre-washed jeans never get permanent creases because the fabric is softened before you ever wear it, leading to shapeless fits like this.
buy raw denim.
i recommend resolute, they focus a lot more on the fit than other brands.
if you want a more specific recommendation post a picture of jeans fitting the way you'd like and i'll tell you what you need to get.

>>18120350
that looks good, but if you don't want them to sit on top of your shoes like that then get them hemmed an inch or two. personally i like some piling on top of the shoes, but your pic is kind of in the awkward zone where there isn't a gap between the jeans and the shoes, but they're still short enough that it interrupts the flow

>>18120350
the broken ankle effect happening here?
go slightly shorter
go slightly longer
or taper them in a bit
any of those fix it
t. used to work at a denim botique

>>18120350
Honestly, those look pretty good. Do you live within or near a major city? If so, there’s probably a shop that specializes in selvedge denim which is preferable to visit since their fits are going to be way better and more consistent compared to mass produced jeans. If you don’t live near one, go to any department store that sells Levi’s and bring a tailor’s tape measure to measure the waist, upper thigh, and front rise dimensions of the best fitting pair of jeans you find. Take note of those measurements and then buy a good pair of raw selvedge online with comparable dimensions. Make sure to try on many different cuts (straight, slim straight, straight tapered, slim tapered, high rise, medium rise, etc)

That's pretty much spot on for straight leg jeans


Why is almost all professional athletic apparel made from synthetics/polyester?

>>18120422
>drain sweat
>need tough material that won't tear easily
>bright to stand out in peripheral vision
Other reasons I cbf listing

I think fundamentally the answer is that the sportswear industry uses plastic. Wool and tencel, though moisture wicking, are fringe materials. Nike uses plastic, so every time they do a deal with a sports team, the team will use plastic.

>>18121368
It's comfortable though and that's all the matters

>>18121389
Its not when soaking wet and weighing you down and chafing your skin. Have you ever played sports before?

>>18120422
it is durable and keeps you dry

>>18120422
Why are npc so hysterical about polyester all of the sudden ? This schizophrenia about anything 'plastic le bad' is hilarious. it's like a switch was turned on inside the npc that have made them literally change their entire consumption habits

Why does every guy at "elite" schools like this?

Picture a younger version of this guy and you get what im talking about

All that daddys money and trust funds just to look like a normal google software engineer

>>18120413
These schools are full of asians and indians so picture the asian and indian version of this

>>18120413
They looked up how to dress nice on reddit, found some basics chart, and never bothered actually evolving past it.

>>18120413
>Why does every guy at "elite"
Why do low tier men overuse and misuse quotation marks so often ?

>>18120474
Elite schools = stanford, ivy leagues like harvard, mit , nw and Etc
And whatever the non american equivalent of those schools are

>>18120413
the best advice you can ever get in life is to do everything you arent passionate about just slightly above average

>>18120423
>>18120481
Nope (100% wrong by the way). They want to look common and average because they're insecure and want to be like the average joe. See I'm not like the other rich people, I don't dress fancy, suits aren't comfortable guise wow I'm so unique and down to earth!

>>18120474
He’s implying they’re not really elite you damn illiterate. What an ironic reply. Damn.

>>18120413
It's a flex. Steve Jobs drove a beat up Civic or some such piece of shit because he could, anyone a rung or two down the executive ladder would quite literally be endangering their career because people talk and so much of it is about projecting an image. Only someone with "fuck you" money could get away with such eccentricity at the top of the food chain.
It eventually evolved into "stealth wealth" fashion, paying exorbinant prices for the highest quality plain t-shirts, jeans, hoodies imaginable.

>>18120955
Stealth wealth seems like a western white elite thing
The elites in asia are very flashy

>>18120920
That's the point. Why do low tier men always do that ?

>>18121035
Answer ops question
Why do they go for this aesthetic?

>>18121033
>The elites in asia are very flashy
Chinese are the newest money around and extremely tacky, they just dress like basketball players and their wives.
Japanese can't help but be drawn towards tasteful subtlety and elegance, often with a twist towards highly-structured garments, almost architectural.
Koreans always wear what is unironically the most timeless fashion accessory, a smile, they could wear garbage bags and still be ALL SO INVIGORATING.
It goes without saying that the rest of asia can be disregarded for the purposes of this discussion.

>>18121041
koreans are, for the most part, really short tempered in my experience.
especially the women.

>>18121048
10/10 rage over totally innocuous statements

Homegrown Koreans or american transplants?

>>18121053
both. the 'han' must be a real thing

>>18120413
>All that daddys money and trust funds just to look like a normal google software engineer
Because they want to look "relatable" and one of the plebs.
>Oh, we're not a bunch of super rich trust fund kids who are swimming in billions while our daddies' corporations pay you plebs in peanuts! No fellow goys, we are just like you!


I have a short buff manlet friend

Its weird as fuck that tall people, even hot chicks, always notice him
I thought manlets were losing
Hes like 5'5, jacked interesti g style and hair and carries himself like royalty even though he only has normal merchant genes
Im feeling a bit jealous even though im taller than him
Im 6 3
Why do people notice him? And not me
I have better genes than him
What the fuck
It sounds crazy but i am not lying

His face is average looking
My face is better btw
Idk if im underrating him tho
Im pissed off

>>18120441
he exudes charisma, meanwhile you silently seethe with jealous rage. women don't care for your petty loser mentality, they want someone that's at the very least likeable. which you clearly aren't. it's not that difficult to understand

>>18120441
simply put; you're the sidekick.

>>18120441
its a generational thing
manlet hate took off with tiktok. if you're millenial or older and a manlet you never really experienced it until the last few years, if ever at all. i'm 5'6 and i had to teach all my 6'+ friends from high school how to talk to girls without shitting & cumming their pants. manlets can avoid manlet hate by simply avoiding contact with people who use tiktok, which is easy for millenials xers and boomers.

>>18120441
He's confident and charismatic and you are weak, jealous and bitter. People can feel you give off that energy and are repelled by it.

Imagine being 6'3" and still being a jealous little insecure bitch. How about you start by fixing your posture and cleaning your room, bucko?
