    Not comfortable enough to wear a sundress I guess, but if there wasn’t a cultural element that could create a problem, I would wear the fuck out of those breezy robes you see Muslim guys wearing to mosque in the summer.

    It’s fucking hot and I trust the fashion choices of people from desert climates. A good idea is a good idea. I have watched these guys while sweating my balls off with severe envy before.

    The day I’m told by an Imam “Dude, no one would give a fuck”, I’m making a purchase.

    Men should get to wear pretty sundresses too.

    I don’t even mean in a femboy sense (though that’s great too). Gimme beefcakes and bears in sundresses, damnit.

    Edit: and also lanky thin guys in dresses too

    Edit 2: Might be useful context to know that I am a woman, so this comment should be read with the understanding that I am “thirstposting on main”, as the kids say

      May I introduce you to the kilt? It changed my life. Stylish, shows off my legs, and the gentlemen approve of the airflow during the searing 10 months of Texas summer.

        Whilst I appreciate your suggestion, I’m actually a women who loves the many pleasures of skirts and dresses (including but not limited to: easy access for sex; hiding objects in secret petticoat pockets; placing my skirt over the AC unit during a heat wave).

        I wonder if I should have mentioned in my comment that I’m a woman, because if I read it as if it’s from a man’s perspective, then it does give a “damn, I wish it were socially acceptable for me, a man, to wear a dress”.

        But no, the angle of my comment was that I would go absolutely fucking feral for men in sundresses. (aside from being queer enough that I don’t care about gender norms much, and actively find it attractive to see people dressing in subversive ways, I am also recalling a random gif I saw way back that involved two muscular dudes wearing sundresses for a joke and deciding “actually, we look and feel hot as hell in these”. That gif changed me, man.)

        I’m actually a woman, who is thirsty for a utopian future in which men of all sorts wear pretty sundresses. I have heard plenty of guys say they wish that it were socially acceptable to wear them though (and whilst I’m very much an advocate of “fuck what everyone else thinks, wear what makes you happy”, dressing in a gender non-conforming manner can be actively dangerous, which is depressing for so many reasons)

    Men set the craziest standards for other men, no wonder men’s mental health is in decline. Who tf can realistically achieve that look, those arms, that jaw. It’s giving me a crisis of masculinity just looking at it.

      I pretty much have those arms, but my jaw is closer to the lady on the left lmao

      But most of all, I do NOT have his waistline. Look at that v-taper. Thin in the middle, wide lats. I’d have to lose a good 40 KG to achieve that and the average man probably could not achieve that at all without years of working out because it’s pretty hard to get lats that wide.

        You know, this comment was actually pretty inspiring for me. I only own one sundress, and it’s been sitting in my “to be repaired” bag for way too long. However, I am spending this weekend with a partner, and so I am suddenly motivated to repair that damn dress.

    There was a mafia Don interview I saw and they asked him the #1 rule of being a mafioso. He said “never wear shorts, no one will take you seriously”😂I think about that every time I wear shorts

      I’m not a mafia boss, I wear shorts all summer (March/April through October or so) Office, doctor’s appointment, whatever. It’s shorts for me.

      I used to joke that one day I’m going to walk into the Mercedes dealership wearing shorts and ask them to test drive a brand new S-Class, but my priorities have changed somewhat in the meantime so I don’t think I’ll be doing that. Not such a huge fan of their newest interiors anyway.

      I would like one, but unfortunately I am not diagnosed with autism. I do think it would be hilarious to wear it otherwise.

    NGL, that kind of lollipop doesn’t taste that great, and they’re messy. I mean if offered one I’d still take one because im a sugar addict, but still.
