Do women actually care how men dress at all? This dude looks like a gay lesbian but is somehow married to a hot celebrity.

NEW Luca Turin reviews on Substack: https://lucaturin.substack.com/

Why do American men dress like this?

Similar outfits for women obviously looking to prostitute themselves?

this is how I roll

Where could I and should I buy slip on dress shoes? I am gonna meet my long distance girlfriend in them along with a black dress shirt, black dress pants, and a black tie with subtle white stripes

/balding/ and /finasteride/ general - hair is love, hair is life!
Sticky: http://tuxbell.com/index.php/Balding

Reminder that if you can clearly see down to your scalp when your hair is wet, your hair is thinning, lots of small new hairs sprouting at the hairline or crown is a sign of hair recession.

Holy trinity:
Tabs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finasteride
Lotion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoxidil
Shampoo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketoconazole

Finasteride/Dutasteride are 5-alpha reductase inhibitors that prevent free T from being converted to DHT, a byproduct of testosterone that serves no purpose after puberty but to choke out your hair follicles and make them thin out and die in a few short years, a condition known as androgenic alopecia.
5ar inhibitors prevent your hair from getting any worse, mild regrowth is expected, rapid onset diffuse thinners see a significant recovery on fin alone. Can be taken orally or topically.
5ARIs are not dosage dependent, taking as little as as 0.2mg daily fin can reduce serum DHT by 68%, while 5mg reduces by 72%.
0.5mg daily dut reduces serum DHT by 95%, but is considered a second line treatment, and can be more expensive and harder to get prescribed. Start with fin.

Fin has been used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) for 30+ years, it's very well studied and is tolerated well in almost all men, however, there's a 1-2% risk of erectile issues in controlled studies.
These can be avoided by reducing dosage, spacing out dosage, or stopping the drug. Fin takes days to fully bio-accumulate, the half life of fin is about 8 hours, adverse effects occuring within minutes of starting fin or persisting long after stopping fin are not real and have no basis in reality. Please note that dut has a much higher half-life of 5 weeks, if you're prone to fin sides, dut may cause them for far longer.
Refer to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3481923/ before responding to PFS trolls.

This thread offers a forum to discuss and debate wristwatches, pocketwatches, and clocks. Several members here are highly knowledgeable in specified areas of horology, so please contribute to the thread by asking questions and/or asking for advice if you are planning on purchasing a watch from an AD or the grey market. Please post pics of your watches here; it doesn't matter if it's worth 5$ or 5,000$, because there might be someone who wishes to eventually purchase the same model that you own and would love to hear some real-world advice regarding ownership. The experience matters the most, not the price.

Everyone is welcome in this thread, because we are all Frens here.

how important is hair in fashion?

I wear sheer socks as a man. Fight me.

Why do zoomer girls have flat chests with narrow hips?

The older I get the more ridiclious shaved sides look on me. Is there a more natural style to rock your hair in your 30s without looking like a ethnic tryhard?

I really like the look and feel of '70s polyester pants but a have horrible static clinginess. What other fabrics are similar but without that cling?

If you can't then give up. Seriously. Go start reading or playing video games. Get a different hobby. Short hair and especially short hair because you are balding makes you a sub-5. This is not a put down. This is a public service annoucement. Save your time because you only get one life. Choose your battles. Get a pair of jeans and a hoodie and forget fashion if you can't grow your hair.

I live in a developing country, so I usually avoid buying things from abroad because of high shipping costs (especially with DHL)
But I recently realized there are ways to get much cheaper shipping, so now I want to know good sites for this sort of thing.

I'm looking for NA and EU site and ESPECIALLY Japan

This is the pigslim general. What is pigslim you might ask? Pigslim is the acronym for
>poorfag
>incel
>gay
>schizophrenic
>low IQ
>manlet
If you are all of those things then you are welcome here. This thread is for the discussion of pigslim fashion and issues relating to pigslim fashion.

A little about me: I’m 5’0” 100lbs and schizophrenic. I like to think of myself as a fighter, but the truth is a man of average strength could kill me in a single strike. I’m schizophrenic and poor. I drive a dusty old shitbox car. I’m obsessed with denim as it distracts me from the fact that I failed college and have never had a real job. I’m also cripplingly stupid and can barely afford to feed myself. My bowels don’t work. Since I’m a career failure, I’ve had to resort to OnlyFans to not starve. I will start prostituting myself to men in the near future (tonight).

Please share your experiences. This is a safe space.

I recorded this for the haters:

Would I look autistic wearing this casually? Coveralls are top tier comfy to me

Thoughts on instagram streetwear? Seems like all the college kids dress like this now.

Why can you get away with being skinny in your 20s buy by the time you are 30 people will think youre a diseased crackhead?

I seen 2 of you /fa/ggots on the subway today.

I’m 5’8

Don't tell me any of you actually dress like this

rate my anime transformation.

im a chad and i dress like this

(Black) sleeveless turtlenecks make armpits even *more* lickable.

99% of people who start caring about fashion fall into some kind of "core" or "style" and just ape it completely. Usually for men it's some kind of smart casual thing and it just looks cringe and gay most of the time. Yes it's better than being in basketball shorts and beer-stained shirts but not by much.

I think men need to take a hard look at themselves not only physically but also figure out who they are, and tailor their fits around that, and let it evolve over time. Learn the basics and get a feel for what goes together and what clearly doesn't, and then improvise a little.

This is why just changing it up slightly like work wear pants and plain white tees is so effective and immediately striking. It's different without being tryhard and cringe.

Otherwise you end up looking like a jeet trying to mimic human behavior.

Thoughts on timberland ?

Got caught in the rain in my new (not even week old) sheepskin leather jacket. What do I do? Sleep in it? I don't want to damage it
It's already warping in weird ways bros, I'm gonna kms

Please help me on my quest to stop being an un/fa/ soeyboy incel retard, brolads

I have a pair of white Reebok classics and wanted something else to wear for the coming change in season. I am trying to build my wardrobe up after wearing the same stuff for like 7 years. Also I am 35 not a zoomer so please bear that in mind when deciding. But I wouldn't say no to some zoom zoom pussi if you catch my understanding :^)

Appreciate any input and if it's available on Amazon that would be even better. Are there any generic brands to watch for? My budget is around $130 but I don't mind going a bit higher for something of true quality.

QTDDTOT

Trying to see if I should change things up. I mostly prefer 7/8. Any suggestions?

Hello /fa/. I want to stop giving money to the deodorant jew, shit is expensive and I think it makes my pits smellier when I'm not using it. Have any of you guys ever tried making your own deodorant and if so could you post the recipe and talk about the results? Thanks in advance
