See, it's not about what you're wearing; it's how you wear it. I've seen guys pull off wicked 'femme' outfits (or outfits that are generally esteemed to be 'femme' or unmanly) merely due to their personality or self-confidence when wearing them.

If you, and only you, want to start wearing more man-approved clothing items, then I say go ahead and do it. But I don't agree that you should do so only because others have made comments about your apparel. If you have a good sense of who you are, and wear outfits accordingly, then who gives a s*&% what a few skanks think of what you're wearing?

Trust me, a good girl will understand your outfit once she understands you as a person, and would never want you to change.

I feel bad that you spent your time writing such a legitimately good post in such an obvious joke thread.

One of my friends, upon meeting up at a popular bar/grill to eat (BUFFALO WILD WINGS), said I looked a bit femme and he didn't want me to wingman that night. :/ None of the HB's gave me a second look and i got a lot of disinterest indicators/bitch sheilds thrown my way.

I thought I was making some good purchase choices lately, but I guess not? Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone provide some image references of what constitutes feminine/not-feminine. He said I should get some simple flannels, one-wash straight-leg or bootcut denims and less ostentatious shoes.

So my thread takeaways are:

Wear classic menswear staples, like flannel and/or man-jeans.

Grow a beard.

Show off my pubes.

This look kind of reminds me of the dudes on the covers of the magazines my uncle used to have, something to do with horses? I can't remember. In any event, those dudes sure didn't look femme/rentboy. Thanks everyone.

Any brands I should look for?

WESCO for boots and leathers. D&G for jeans. The lower cut the better. Schott Perfecto Jacket. Mirrored cop glasses and a little hat like this:



Don't wear a shirt.
