it's bc they are men's hats that aren't baseball caps and also tons of classy looking dudes wore them decades ago so these dudes think all they gotta do is pop a fedora on and they'll be super suave

Where is that quote from the forums describing "cargo cult masculinity" of fedoras and ecigarettes that ends with the phrase "you think it makes you look cool and sophisticated but because of your baby palate you end up sucking cotton candy water out of a robot dick"?

nah that's fine

a bit awkward to blurt out but there's a difference between that and 'oh you look great without make up you should wear it less often' even though the woman has make up on that you just don't notice bc she applied it well

as long as you're not telling all women to not wear as much makeup bc that's what you personally find attractive it's fine imo

can't help what you like, just don't expect women to cater to you is all.

The only time I think I have ever mentioned it was after I was already involved with the girl in question, and mostly in the form of comments like "I like seeing you without any make-up" when they already aren't wearing any. And, like I said, the women I've been involved with didn't tend to use much to begin with.

As an aside I grew up in a theater family, so was also used to make-up being a thing you did before going on stage. That might have colored my perceptions of the whole thing a bit, too.

like most things, context matters a lot

I'm mostly just commenting on the 'nice guy' types that are all 'women should wear less makeup they look whore-ish and i'm stupid' with broad sweeping generalizations and an implicit expectation that women are there to look pretty for him so they better listen up

I guess you're right, but guys like Don Draper and Indiana Jones wore much bigger fedoras. I've never seen any male on tv or anywhere else look awesome in the little ones. Maybe the Rat Pack I guess? Is that who they're modeling themselves after? The only Nice Guys I see wearing the big ones usually pair it with a trench coat and end up looking like Van Helsing. At least trench coats I can sort of understand. The Matrix people looked cool in trench coats so if you're into that poo poo it's not a huge stretch to want to look like them. They just don't understand context. I'd like to look like Han Solo but I'm not a space smuggler. No one ever looked cool in plaid cargos and a fedora though.

I just don't understand why they all wear fadoras. Did they have a meeting or something? Was like the leader Nice Guy going on a mall trip with his best friend girl and she said "You'd look really cool in this hat" and then later he got a kiss on the cheek so the story trickled down to the lesser castes?
I think it's because they all have terribly unflattering haircuts and instead of getting a better haircut they try to hide it under something even more stupid, it's simple nice guy logic

all I can really say is afaik most fedoras are '1 size fits all' so if you're a fat with a big head yeah it's gonna look weird

it's more the 'hard boiled detective' look but you're right, without the rest of the suit it looks disjointed and dumb. I at least had the awareness to wear slacks and blazers or decent shirts with the fancy hat (not that I didn't still look like a loving nerd bc no 14-15 year old is pulling that look off)

The rule of wearing a fedora is that you can wear a fedora if you look like the kind of person who doesn't know what Reddit is. So either an old man or an adventuring archaeologist.

it would be cool if there were more men's hats to wear that were acceptable that are not baseball caps but sadly any resurgence the fedora/trilby might have had was immediately squashed by MRA redditors

CaptainSarcastic posted:

yeah

actually the best part of my fedora was when girls would snatch it off my head to wear and then I'd be all faux 'give it baaaack' (but again important to remember this was BEFORE reddit got wind of it so the hat didn't come with the baggage)

That and if you're unattractive, no amount of clothing gimmicks will fix that for you. The better looking you are the more you can get away with poo poo. Hell, David Beckham had a mullet for years and some of the worst tattoos ever. You have to find what suites you well or at least wear things that don't highlight how odd your body or face is.

Haha, that's pretty great. We didn't really do hats in the uk, but when I was a teen everyone started wearing waistcoats which is in the same league as fedoras.

That's probably why they wear them right there. That's some Grade A Nice Guy flirting spank back material right there.

Girls can pull off fedoras. A lot of girls look great in a wide variety of hats. Until you go to Coachella and everyone looks like their wearing a costume and then it isn't interesting anymore.
