When should someone NOT bother trying to look nice? When is it better to just not even try?
some people don't realize or don't want to realize that in most cases being in shape is the key to looking nice
>>18655324Never. If you're not going to look pretty, at least look interesting.
When you have a wife and kids you can basically just give up, or at the very least stop trying. You've successfully achieved your biological imperative, anything beyond that is just vanity - which is totally fine if that's what you're into, but just objectively speaking it's pointless.When I went to Thailand I saw so many fat old geezers in shorts and flipflops and I know that no matter how much I lift, how much I diet, how much I spend on clothes and accessories these people mog me to oblivion because even though I'm objectively way better looking (and I'm not even some kind of Chad, I'd rate myself a 6/10 on an average day) these guys have likely passed on their genes and even if they're no longer married or involved in their kids lives in any way they've already "won" life and they've earned the right to burn out their golden years sipping Chang on the boardwalk and fucking 19 year olds.
>>18655324Is the guy in ur pic supposed to look bad? He's not a gigachad or anything but he would look above average honestly if I just saw him walking around somewhere.
>>18655329>they've already "won" life and they've earned the right to burn out their golden years sipping Chang on the boardwalk and fucking 19 year olds.What about this is winning? Rotting your soul and collecting as many STD's as possible is how you want to go out?
>>18655330Not only does he look like shit, he looks like he tried way too hard which is even worse. Every time I see a young person with their oversized pants, funky shoes, over-accessorized, puffy hair, and no bag it always brings a smile to my face. They stand out like a sore thumb when everyone else just looks comfortable like they have worn their clothes more than once and are doing something other than just standing around with their friends.
>>18655334>puffy hairAre you a bot?I mean I get what you're saying but this dude is slightly pulling it off, also if he's at a job where they force him to dress business casual or whatever the fuck it would be pretty valid to wear this.
Looking nice even while ugly is called looking presentable.
>>18655337Nobody employed looks like this, you clearly have never had a regular office job.
>>18655342People don’t dress like a banker anymore for office jobs.
>>18655330Like that other anon said, he looks bad and he tried so hard at it
>>18655342>you clearly have never had a regular office jobi have had several and currently work one. most people are wearing company branded t-shirts, polo shirts, jeans and sneakers.even finance bros and lawyers are just wearing polos and sneakers now. the suit is dead, sorry anon. born in the wrong generation or something
>>18655325Most people don't realize that, hence the high obesity rate even among people who are into fashion. That fag in OP would look at least passable if he lost weight and stop looking like he has literal bitch ass and thighs.>>18655330He looks like a soi bitch with his wide feminine hips and thighs, making his clothes look like a cosplay, especially that work shirt.
>>18655324this dude's hips are as wide as his shouldershe was never gonna make it
>>18655329>these guys have likely passed on their genes and even if they're no longer married or involved in their kids lives in any way they've already "won" lifeIf this worries you that much, you can donate your sperm to a sperm bank. But in any case, within two or three generations, there won’t be any trace of your genes left.You win in life by freeing yourself from the influence of other people’s thoughts.
>>18655329Not leading by example is how you set your kids up for failure.
>>18655422Nobody is talking about suits, the op image looks like a 50s pharmacist, nobody in your office dresses like that. That is truly the wrong generation.
>>18655329Those guys are pedophiles who rape children.
>>18655324Never. Taking care of yourself adds to your dignity. How you look is how you are looked at.
>>18655329Most people no longer think having children is the most important thing in the world. For better or worse.
>>18655324if the guy had on dark socks I think it'd be fine. or if he had an additional white layer on top. it just looks simultaneously overdressed and underdressed.
>>18655324He looks like a butch lesbian gender studies professor.
>>18656111I'm pretty sure I took that class but the professor was kind hot
