Do they have to be that tight though? I mean, really.

Pat is skinny and they don't look that tight. At least they aren't the male equivalent of jeggins.

Hello fashion people!

Random question, but I am going shopping this Saturday to pick up a fancy dress costume (sherlock holmes inparticular) for a birthday, and was wondering if I should try looking for other clothes or what have you. Any general advice or stuff like it? I can link pictures if people want to see what I look like/wear atm.

Sorry to bother you.

Dogg I can't help it my wallet is made of leather

I mean at least I'm not rolling with like $50 in singles back there

Like for serious my wallet is one of my biggest skinny jeans obstacles. But if you just empty it of all the crap you don't need it should be all right. I've got one debit card in it, my uni card, my ID card, and at most one bill. The rest you should leave elsewhere, as it'll just make your wallet unnecessarily fat, and you don't really need.

Ballard · « **Reply #4757 on:** 09 Sep 2010, 20:56 »

I wear tight ass pants (as many on this forum can attest to) and keep my wallet in my back pocket and it is barely noticeable.

They are just cords but they're nice cords. I don't see Pat saying they're the only cords in the universe. Why are you guys jumping down his throat about it?

Alex C · « **Reply #4758 on:** 09 Sep 2010, 21:11 »

I don't hate those cords, actually. I like cords. And I'm of the opinion that it will take a helluva lot more than mere mortal pants to make Patrick not look skinny, so I don't hate the cut either. But he's not a delicate flower so I just called it like I see it: he has a large wallet up against a skinny ass. In retrospect it's probably just the camera angle and shit though that made it obnoxious 'cuz it looks like the wallet bulge is casting shadows and everything in that pic. This is not a thing I would notice if it weren't just a picture of a dude's pants.

Quote from: After buying a pair of jeans, Rotten Tanx wrote on Electrical

I don't post in this thread anymore since you were all so unpleasant to me but I had to come and tell you all about my new mothershitting jeans.

I haven't wore jeans for years. I only wear trousers because I'm a grown ass man and for the last five years or so the only jeans you could buy (in my price range at least) were pre-faded/torn/frayed/creased/stained/etc or even worse, had fake bullet holes or paint splatters or pictures of perineums or writing on them.

Then I got some Next vouchers for Chrimbo and decided to go literally mental and buy some jeans. Really plain and almost like trousers. But they didn't fit because I'm a motherfucking 32 waist rather than the 34 I thought I was. Bitches! So I took them back but they didn't have them in my size (32" Did I mention?) so I impulsedly grabbed some other ones that I feared may be too cool and trendy for me.

Well guess what? Did you guess that they're the donkeys knob? You guessed right, you tubby cunt. Apart from an initial thimbleful of distress at the button cockhole these are the best thing to happen to a white man since Margaret Thatcher fucked a minor.

Rotten Tanx begins today. Actually that's an understatement. Human civilisation begins today. Everything up til now has been a shitty pointless shitty preamble. Like that old man riding the bike at the start of Shiny Happy People - for millenias.

I look so fucking good that it might be dangerous to look directly at me. It's probably best to view me reflected in the shiny face of the girl from The Cardigans. I look so good I'd make Stephen Fry spunk his soul out through his knees. I'm like if Sharon and Ozzy had a son that got addicted to lightweight drugs and then gave them up and got addicted to making failing celebrities do boring stunts and then got rickets and died and was reincarnated as Rotten Tanx and bought some jeans and looked like the fucking mayor of Pimpsville.

For the first seven years or so I'm not even gonna wear these jeans outside the house lest women tear out their spines and try to recto-bum me with them. I might take a photo of me in them, pixelate it, gaussian blur it (whatever the cock that is), delete it, go to the recycle bin and restore it, do a red eye correction, and e-mail it to Isambard Kingdom Brunel's descendents. And that's just for starters (and pudding).

Any road up, it's been nice for you all to know me but I probably won't visit your internet website anymore because I'm gonna be pussy deep in knees and vice versa. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go and burn all my trousers and a picture of Dame Judy Dench's left titty (breast).

Love off,
Russell "The Selfish Jean" Tancks.

JC Penney actually, and this pair of cords looks better on me than any other leg covering garment I have ever owned in my entire life. The contrast between my normal look in jeans and my look in these here cords is so sharp that I sorta kinda got overzealous.

I also took photos of them with my hair up (because that is how I wear it a lot of the time). What do you think? Ben isn't very fussed on the black ones, but thinks that they look alright with my hair down.

Ballard · « **Reply #4773 on:** 16 Sep 2010, 19:46 »

The brown (tortoiseshell? can't properly tell) ones are almost identical to my glasses. You look nice in them but you look 10000x better in the bottom ones. I'm a huge fan of those.

In fact, where did you get them/what brand are they?

Eris · « **Reply #4777 on:** 16 Sep 2010, 20:47 »

Thank you guys!
The black ones are Fcuk brand ones. They have "FCUK" on the arms, which annoys me a little, but branding on glasses is pretty much inevitable, and once I have them on I won't notice them, so I guess I will get over that. The tortoise shell ones are basically the same as my red ones but a bit rounder, which was what I have been wanting for a while, and the black pair are because I got a second pair free and I wanted something a bit different, shape-wise. I got them from Specsavers, which I guess is a cheap-ish glasses store? They have their own brands and the 'designer' frames.

Also, I realised once I put those photos up that my regrowth is starting to look a bit silly. I really need to get my hair redyed.

I still don't really understand how people can be nearly 6 foot and weigh 120. Back when I weighed 140 I had people telling me I looked sorta gaunt at and I'm 5'8" or so. And honestly? With my looks and body type they were sorta right.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #4786 on:** 17 Sep 2010, 13:38 »

I'm like 6'5 and 200 pounds and people tell me I'm skinny. 120 would probably be a corpse.

I also find it ironic that I'm one of the people that doesn't have girl jeans.

Lines · « **Reply #4788 on:** 17 Sep 2010, 13:47 »

The "target weight" for my height and age is 140. I feel like I would look skeletal if I ever got to that weight, but that's because I've got a heavier bone structure. I've met girls my height who are that weight (or less) and they don't look weird at all, but they've got a finer bone structure than I do. Some people are built differently than others.

Alex C · « **Reply #4789 on:** 17 Sep 2010, 13:47 »

Yeah, to be fair, one time when I was hovering around 140 (this was back when I was a vegetarian shortly after high school) I got fitted for a suit and the guy doing the measurements said I was probably the biggest short skinny dude he'd ever seen, if that makes any sense.

scarred · « **Reply #4790 on:** 17 Sep 2010, 14:02 »

I'm 6'2" 185 right now, but when I moved out and started eating nothing but ramen and popcorn i dropped to 170 and people started telling me i looked like i had cancer or something. funny thing is i was the healthiest i'd ever felt back then and now i feel like a lardass.

De_El · « **Reply #4791 on:** 17 Sep 2010, 17:38 »

I wear really skinny jeans, but to me it just seems kind of intuitive. Skinny person, skinny pants. When I wear pants that are more roomy or relaxed or whatever, they just don't feel like they fit right. I'm like 5'7" or 5'8" and 125 lbs, which is actually a pretty recent 5 lbs gain. I think it's muscle though, so that's cool. I've got discernible abs for the first time in my life somehow, and they're not like really cut or impressive only I've got no body fat to hide them so they show.

I feel like ladies as tall as you are who weigh 140 must not have really any muscle mass at all. I am 5'5" and now consistently 130-ish lb and until last year my gp was telling me I was too skinny. I have discernible muscle tone because I have been dancing more and that has helped immensely, but I cannot imagine being scrawnier than I am AND taller.

tania · « **Reply #4797 on:** 18 Sep 2010, 09:57 »

yeah target weight is basically a bunch of bull. i am 5'1 and have always been between 125-130 because my bone structure is a little heavier as well. with my exercise and eating habits, i honestly don't think it would even be physically possible for me to lose more weight without getting either a terminal illness or literally starving myself. the best way to get a real assessment of how healthy you are and where your ideal weight might be is to do a body fat composition test instead of relying on bmi and ideal body weight measures, which almost never take into account how drastically more than fat muscle mass weighs.

Wasteroo · « **Reply #4798 on:** 18 Sep 2010, 10:37 »
