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

What are the most effay cars in your opinion? Starting off with a classic. Best looking Mercedes imo.

You don’t need to over-complicate it.

Zoomer here. I always ask ChatGPT how can I become a real civilized man but I haven’t quite figured it out yet. My focus span is so short and my mind can only think of TikTok clips all the time. Help please :(

Unless you’re rocking pic-related or something similar, you’re a goof. I can understand having a bigger body type and not being able to pull it off, but everyone else has no excuse. All I see on this board anymore is, “What shoes should I get for an outfit like this??” — followed by some 2010s-looking try-hard.

The problem is that by the time you tasteless goofs figure out how to pull off a particular look, you’re at least eight years behind. So even if you absolutely nail it, you’re just making a public statement of, “I’m culturally irrelevant and/or tasteless.” You’re all trying so hard to perfect a look that repulses the very women you’re obsessed with.

Maybe just face the facts — you weren’t cool in high school, you couldn’t get it together in college, and now at the office you’re isolating and friendzoning yourself while throwing money and time into it. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it. It’s always been this way — you’re no exception. It’s been true since the dawn of man.

If you can’t walk into a Goodwill and put together a fit that gets compliments from women for fifteen bucks, you don’t have an eye for style or fashion. It’s that simple.

Baggy jeans. Oversized sweater. Birks. It’s that simple.
If you're not white this thread doesn't apply to you- continue buying sneakers and whatnot. Europeans - you have no excuse.

Post your recent haircut, hairstyle, or hair treatment.

Before and after image is highly appreciated

this is peak.
after you’ve tried plenty styles in your lifetime, sooner or later you will realize this is all you need.

It's so ugly that I like it

Last thread: >>18568612

Why do people act like filming themselves in dogshit outfits in Japan is the coolest thing ever? What is the appeal?

Start being a real man, you fucking retard. Buy quality clothes. Layer. Reimagine that pile of shit that is your wardrobe. It’s not that hard.

I have never seen a non-creative person wear Dr. Martens.

How much of a deal breaker is it for a woman to discover that I wear flatulance pads?
I hold in my farts all day but at night I have no control. When I wake up in the morning, my whole bedroom smells like horrible man ass.

Women rarely come back for a second night of the gas chamber which is my bedroom.

Are they going to freak out if they see my black charcoal panty liners?

This is beyond embarrassing guys so please dont rip on me

haunted AF1s edition

new: >>18541508

Haven't seen one of these in a long time.
>next month I may even be able to afford a second boot

what would you wear out to dance?

Picked up this north face mcmurdo parka for the winter. Good buy? Ran me almost $600 canadian.

Any suggestions where to get a suit that is, idk the term, girly? She doesn't want to look like a lesbian.

Why do zoomers love stretching out their pants like this? Where did this trend start and why the fuck do retards think this is cool?

older males of /fa/ do you dye your beard?

Cop or not thread.

I'll start with a fjallraven Nuuk for $250

Continuation of >>18559713
This is a thread to talk about fragrances that people actually find attractive and alluring

SOTD: pic related

How did you learn to match colors in clothing? I’ve discovered Itten’s Color Wheel and tried it out on a few websites, but the results have been pretty mediocre. It could be that I chose the wrong main color, but how am I supposed to pick the right one when a clothing picture has so many shades of the same color?

i fucking want this car so bad its unreal. matted black widebody hellcat

Why has this become the dominant way I see men under 35 wear their beards? Like purposely lining up the mustache and trimming it so it's small and weak compared to the rest of the beard. Almost every guy I see with facial hair has a lined up mustache, even the white guys. Are natural mustaches not "in" anymore?

Best watch Edition.

This thread offers a forum to discuss and debate wristwatches, pocket watches, 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 50000$, 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.

/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.

Are slim jeans truly dead if you're over 30? That's what a middle-aged men looks like now, right? I don't want to follow 20s trends. I like the way I look in slim jeans, just not jeggings. Am I retarded, or should I just not care?

What is the best place to buy sweaters? I moved somewhere cold and need sweaters now.

is this the best one and done watch of all time?
Keep it TUDOR only.
