The boots in the right picture trip my trigger!
I’ve asked my girlfriend to wear boots like that but now I think maybe I should set an example myself…
If you’re gonna go through all the trouble to dress weird at least pick an attire that looks cool
I guess there really is no accounting for taste. I guess it’s lucky he’s not trying to impress you
I’m okay with men in corset, bra, girdle, shapewear in general., thongs (must get a Brazilian wax, for the look, ofc)and stilettos. 8 hours, consecutively, that’s it (under wires optional, I’m not that cruel).

Honestly, you’d be surprised. I never went this far, but as a man who used to own many colorful blazers, bowties, pocket squares, fancy pants, etc…women respond to the confidence.
I’ve met people like this. They tend to have delusions about their wierd thing. Im confident those proposals were mostly in his head or from one off jests.
I’m a school bus driver and I’ve been proposed to by third-graders. I don’t exactly take them seriously since I’m older than their grandparents.
Nah I’m sure he got some joke proposals from people that are actually attracted to his eccentric dress code
I mean, he does look pretty sharp. It’s just kind of silly at the same time
What’s funny is that he sort of bragged about these joke proposals to the article
joke proposals
one off jests
Those are the same things
I used to dress weird (anything from HS Thompson in Fear and Loathing to Victorian-ish numbers to goth stuff) for the hell of it and got a lot more positive attention than otherwise. I suppose it was effort and confidence more than anything else, but who knows. I never took it very seriously, so not sure what the article’s subject’s real story is.
Getting more tangental but thought I would share. I went to fandom cons in my youth and middle age and some fen had like costume identities. We stopped by a guys place spontaneously because we were in the area and when he answered he was like. Give me a min and then came back in his costume and invited us in.
People did used to look batter back in the day.
Its also nice that every culture had their own style. Now everyone wearing jeans and a t shirt is bad, but the awful american dad sneakers and white socks with baseball cap does it.
We need to go back. At least on special occasions or something. Don’t think going the UK and everyone wearing a suit or going to Japan and everyone wearing a Kimono is better?
I mean, by people I think you mean people with money. People dress appropriate to their station. People then doing manual labor couldn’t afford clothes like the dude in the post and wouldn’t have wasted money on clothes that weren’t durable and easily cleaned.
T-shirt and jeans became the standard due to their cheap cost to manufacture, durability, and standardized sizes and popularity in the mining, farming, and railroad industry, and again with WWII.
Not a lot of jobs these days that allow for fancy dress and not many people can afford their own tailor. Not to mention temperatures were much cooler back then allowing all those extra layers, where as now you’d melt in some parts.
Of course I don’t mean the lower classes would wear a suit like that.
They would wear different clothes. But trousers, waistcoat, shirt are standard British clothing for all classes.
Here’s some miners
The only people that actual seem to dress British are people that work in finance and schoolchildren. Thank God for uniforms.
Fair enough
I want to stab him and take his little sack of silver coins.
yeah this kid wouldn’t have survived a day at any of the schools I went to. glad to see people are kinder I guess.
You probably don’t even need to stab, they obviously can’t count
I don’t believe it.
Can one count forward to where they started? I could entertain the argument 0 is uncountable, it exists but it has no effect, it’s only a starting place, until exponents and calculus come into play, but that’s where I got off the math train
Quite, AUSTENtacious, if I do say. Ho ho ho ho
Just use regency era dating standards, showing ankles is basically a proposal right?
It says “countless offers of marriage” but not that it was women offering to marry him. So it could also be dudes. Schrödinger’s sexuality I guess.
Could also be a null value making it uncountable
Zero is countable
True and null isn’t.
One dude, who keeps creating new accounts to beg him for his hand in marriage.
I’d marry him to share his wardrobe
he’s in a long-time relationship with another man. my guess is his “proposals” run the gamut (and i expect a majority are made in jest).
So instead of wearing the uniform of the modern elitist class he’s wearing the uniform of a prior eliteist class. Is not reinforcing class division, but it’s still tacky as hell.
Friend of a friend of the working class
I just wear shit from gap and have been married three times
get on my level noob
The Gap gets a lot of hate in my experience but I don’t give a fuck because all their clothes are comfy and fit my frame perfectly
I need an outfit made out of razor blades. Nothing could be sharper than that.
This says a lot about the human condition.
