Perhaps it is this man’s display of the wealth required to buy these dandy clothes which procures said marriage proposals.
Meanwhile I, despite flawless erudition, am judged by my daily wear of “wife beater” apparel. I blame the casual utterance of such profanities.
If my tank top offends any woman for being wife beater toppage, I say to her “Madam, I have no wife. Would you please to hand me another beer from yonder fridge?”
this whole thread hurts me. ugh
guy makes his own clothes, or at least that was the case originally.
i have big respect. let the man slay. you're welcome to your wife-beaters, and others are welcome to their finery.
The post you're replying to is painfully obviously a joke
the intended tone is clearer to me this morning. look, i'm part of a niche fashion community and other people can get very weird about it. i think i was responding with my frustration toward multiple comments + my own experiences.
I weep for thy sanity, to live amongst such foppery.
i mean making your own clothes, especially fancy olden time ones, is not something poor people in the west can do. It takes soooo much time that you need to spend working an actual job so you can earn money to buy food.
Hard to gauge a persons wealth by their clothes in today's world.
Just reminded me, when I was 21 my credit card had a 500 limit but I was asked to travel. Company cards were NOT a thing here, only the CFO had one so they were forced to put me up places with a corporate account. Because of this was staying in a very ritzy four star hotel near silicon valley for a whole month and I had a Sunday check in to get settled. Being young broke and largely oblivious to social norms in a way only a lower class homeschooled kid with ADHD could be I showed up for check in warring ripped khaki rock climbing pants and a stretched out Ramones tanktop with a flannel tied around my waste. The old folks behind me were talking under their breath about how " you really cant tell" and new internet money is changing all the rules. Lmfao they had no idea that I couldnt afford more than the rental car deposit
It's 'waist' when referring to your belt or belly button line
I'm on a pretty good income, my partner and I can afford a one month overseas holiday every year or so and I dress in a mix of jeans off the internet, chosen for their lifespan, and hawaiian shirts from a mass market fashion store
I dress brightly, not at all expensively. When I dressed a lot like this as a kid in the '80s I had to change before the family went to a club for dinner in order to meet the dress code. The clubs are more relaxed now.
You really can't judge people's wealth on their dress standards, though there is class encoded in clothes
Ha looks like you found a missed steak
He's a tailor, and makes the clothes himself.
Good grief.
The fairer sex sees not but the belligerent blustering of a bedswerving bobolyne!
live poetry
We call those "vests" it sleeveless shirts in Australia, and they don't have any bad image, they just suggest the wearer exercises or is very bothered by heat, or (with the plain white ones) has taken off a button-up shirt
Perhaps it's all in his head.
And perhaps you, dear fellow, exist only in your own head, which itself exists inside the room you’re in, which is furthermore in your head as well.
Sure!
This joke would work better if you knew how to use words like "profanities", "toppage", and "yonder" correctly
There's always somebody who sees an "iamverysmart" joke post as a personal threat.
