My gut?

I'm pretty sure the modern term for this look is "fuckboy"

I'm short and fat.

I’d say “the office dress code,” but what I really mean is my gut.

That was a straight fad. Now it's a gay fad. Lotta hateful crazy people. Soooo the fact that someone may try to attack me for wearing such things even if I want to.

What's stopping me is lack of hunk.

I live down the street from a college. Many of my neighbors are college students. I've seen roughly this look on a handful of very young men in the last year. I've seen guys in their early 20s/late teens playing sports in roughly this outfit. It is coming back/fashion is more fluid these days. There are still trends, but many young people wear all sorts of stuff that just looks good on their bodies with little regard for era or popularity.

Since I don't recognize these movies I'm half tempted to think these are just shots from gay porn intros.

While I could say my gut/lack of hunkiness/taste but....

I really, really don't want to attract serial killers.

About 150lbs and the fact I don't want my ballsack hanging out my jorts.

These are also the guys who gets stabbed to death with a rusty fork by a masked murderer. Im not saying wearing crop tops causes violent death but there seems to be a correlation

My enormous gut, which I guarantee you don’t want to see

Common sense

Being fat

Mirrors.

I don't have shirts in kid sizes

I'm not sure my hairy mid-40's self would be well recevied.

My belly would get cold. I always wonder how women tolerate it.

The fact they look ridiculous is what's stopping me.

I have gay friends that wouldn't be caught dead wearing that.

I guarantee that "style" was because a producer wanted the guys to dress like that.

Truthfully it's mainly because of sexism and how people think that certain clothes = certain sex and gender or sexual orientation.

Nothing. This is how I dress in the summer. Except I have a dad bod and not one of those chiseled Adonis bodies so nobody appreciates it as much.

I do dress like that for pride parade. I should definitely do it more often.

Dignity.

I live in a fashion-forward neighbourhood (for North America, at least (which doesn't say much)), and there were definitely straight dudes rocking this look this summer.

my pot belly

Something something third spaces to dress like this and hang out at

Doesn't quite work with the whole "aging sasquatch, ex power lifter/dadbod" combo I tend to have.

I tend to scare adults when I'm shirtless for some reason. I can't imagine this would be any better.

Where the fuck would I even find a crop top in mens sizes?
