From this we can deduce that the problem must be you.

I'd be shocked too if I dressed like you. If a majority of the compliments are coming from the general badly dressed public then....

Nothing wrong with orange and black. Unless you hate orange anyway.

i'm a skinny guy, 5'10 / 136lbs. some of my older relatives/confidants constantly ride me about wearing "skinny jeans" aka my APC new standards.

that's pretty much about it. i just laugh it off because even if my **** did look ridiculous -- i like the way it looks, and that's all that matters.

plus, most of the people who say that **** are like...wearing cargo pants and old navy tshirts.

if they're older you'd think they'd remember the 70's when most dudes were skinny and wore tight clothes.

Ok so you know how in sw/d there's the guys that post often in the random fashion thoughts/waywt threads, some guys that don't post a lot but when they do it's good, and the vast majority of the rest are marsupialed newbies? Think the same thing in mc. Except MC gets trolled far, far more.

KB just posts pics he doesn't try to argue with people that he looks good. and he has some baller items just he's really old and lost any ability at all to coordinate.

The last one I remember was from some pleb wearing ed hardy, or the like, in a club who said "did your mommy tuck in your shirt?" to which I responded "she actually picked out my clothes this morning." Though I think it was less about the clothes and more about the fact I was making out with the girl they were with.

Most people don't mention my clothes, but I generally have a surly demeanor

I go to a state school in the middle of nowhere, NY. If I wear something as simple as a button down and slim strait jeans I get "***" hurled right at me. Of course I ignore it...but this one time one of my professors made an announcment for a "gay rights community event" and then asked me to tell everyone more about it.

I dont even dress that well at school!


on a side note: bitches love finding out your not gay.
