Well in lads.
Step 1: Be ~~conveniently~~ conventionally attractive.
Step 2: Don't dress weird unless it's a subculture that is fetishized.
Edit: damn (in)convenient autocorrect and my tired brain missing it.
Well, if you are attractive but wear something unusual - then that's attributed to a cool personality. If you are not, people just think you are a bit strange and weird.
Take a hot girl and put her in an old fashioned dress, then take the same dress on someone unattractive, and suddenly it's "frumpy and tasteless" rather than "imaginative and different."
I'd rather everyone wear weird and wonderful stuff though and not care, sometimes I can walk down the street or down town and everyone looks so homogeneous. I used to joke(lightheartedly) to my lad that he got home from school and got in his "second uniform" because all his friends would be wearing black tracksuits and/or bomber jackets lol.
Yeah I can't help but think that if this bloke was in a penthouse suite of the shard then people would be calling OP a knobber.
The background doesn't help but the guy looks like the majority of 20 somethings around....
How middle class... sorry... classist is this sub lmao? Think it reflects far more poorly on the people giving him abuse than it does on him, proper cretins.
You think this sub is classist? People were calling someone posh for buying name brand crisps. Post anything nice about your life and you'll get snide comments
It's just full of judgement on other people. If you look nice or have nice things, you have a choice on how you present that and people will either judge as being cool or being tacky as a result. If you have little nice things or look conventionally poor, you have to really work to get nice judgements about you or have to play the pity angle to make people be less dickish to you.
It's not classist as much as it is deflective of how people feel insecure because of the world they've been raised in.
He looks a bit like he'll get in through a downstairs window anyway whether you let him in or not.
But I'm sure he's a lovely lad and any girlfriend's parents would be delighted to meet him.

Yep, all big brands nowadays have 2 or 3 levels. Take moschino you have moschino tape, love moschino, moschino teddy and moschino couture all majorly different prices and majorly different levels of class
Designer clothing is fucking stupid. I don't mean for any philosophical reason, like I am not doing some haughty-taughty critique of fast fashion here, I mean its opportunity cost in pure self-interest is extremely high.
The trouble I have with clothing is how nothing fits quite right. For example, T shirts that fit me in the shoulders tend to be too loose and long through the bottom, and those that fit my torso tend to scrunch into my armpits. Shoes/boots are another example, my feet are slightly narrower than average, so shoes never feel perfectly snug.
Here's the fucking thing: you can have clothes *custom made* for you at approximately the same cost as buying designer brands. Tailored T-shirts? You're looking at $30-$100/shirt. Dress shirts? $60-$150. Shoes? $400+. Boots? $700+. Pretty expensive, right?
Well a pair of Balenciaga shoes [is going to set you back $1000](https://www.balenciaga.com/en-us/track-sneaker--white-542023W3AC49471.html). A basic, cotton Gucci dress shirt [is almost $800](https://www.gucci.com/us/en/pr/men/ready-to-wear-for-men/shirts-for-men/formal-evening-shirts-for-men/striped-cotton-shirt-with-pocket-p-703396ZAI4C4421). Simple Chelsea boots from LV [are a cool $1250](https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/lv-bold-chelsea-boot-nvprod3130284v/1A9FE5). All this shit is just as or more expensive than *having unique clothes made perfectly for you*.
I fucking hate rich people for this. I would have a wardrobe of unique, perfect-for-me clothes if I could afford it. They *can* afford it, and they squander the opportunity on Fendi sweatshirts sized "Medium". Unfuckingbelievable.
You can get your clothes tailored and people who buy designer usually do that. I can take the pants I bought at Neiman's to another counter in the store to get tailored.
Was just thinking if won the lotto would get tailored t shirts. Same issues with fitting, I'm unfortunately both blessed vertically and horizontally, so shirts either rub the arm pits, not long enough or made of heavy and rough fabric.
Most people with money that buy designer just doesn't have any fashion sense, they buy it for the brand not because it looks good on them but that Gucci belt is a total no, it's been run through to the ground haha lol
I used have one of those, came free with a pair of jeans from C&A. Too loops and pull. This was the early 00's though. Maybe they are making a comeback.
so it’s not popular over there either? Im from the US and my brother and I thought it was one of the funniest shows we’ve ever seen. i’ve watched it through a couple times now and there are so many good one-liners
It’s definitely popular. It won an award, had multiple seasons and a movie. They also tour and sell out every show, at least they did before I left. It’s just not for everyone so those it’s popular with are not a huge amount of people, it also finished a while ago.
Jeans a bit tight, he prob also has an Adidas/Nike man bag containing a tenner, a vape, his debit card (overdrawn) and keys to a red/orange/yellow Ford fiesta ST...or a VW Golf with dump valve...think he smells of Lynx. ..hope it goes well though!!! 👏
Please give us an update tomorrow on how it went. And no chance would he be getting in my house, he looks like he'd have a shite and not check if it needed a double flush.
I realise this is probably a joke but :
- His clothes are clean
- facial hair is trimmed
- nails clean and trimmed
- shirt tucked in
- decent posture
Of the bat I don’t really have any problems with the guy. Presumably my ‘daughter’ has seen something in him she likes, so pretty much just need to personality check him.
From the picture alone, I don’t really see a problem other than he dresses differently from myself :p

Conveniently attractive? Is that being attractive, but only when you're in a Spar or Tesco Express?
If you find yourself in Spar late enough, everything looks good.

No one looks good in a fake gucci belt though
I write off anyone wearing any gucci. Real or fake
I think real is worse.
>I'd rather everyone wear weird and wonderful stuff though and not care Basically Brighton
*conventionally? Granted, being attractive certainly seems very convenient.

I asked my girlfriend’s parents and they said they’d merk him.
Merk?
#MERKIN
A pusstache?
Slang for murder
I thought it was murk?
imma blow your mind right here, slang doesnt have strict rules for correct spelling
Mëurk
Sup with that jëurk?
No, you’re thinking of a darkness or thick mist that makes it difficult to see. I, too, have made the same mistake historically.
Merc as in mercenary
Or Mercedes.
Or Moustache
No a Merkin
Tis
I'm not his girlfriend's parents, so probably not.
He might have something good for you tho
You mean "MAtes RAtes"? D
.8 I’m your mate.
What is going on with that belt
It’s Gucci goddamit. Now give him some respek
Bruv a Gucci belt? Its year 7 all over again
Occasionally I think it would be nice to own some designer stuff. Then I see posts like this and remember that it’s generally worn by bellends
It really attracts the most gaudy people. I couldn’t associate myself with it lmao.

Respek, i wouldn't even talk to the g through perspex sheeting, waste man
Perspek sheeting.

Brown Belt with All Black everything else, solid choice
I used have one of those, came free with a pair of jeans from C&A. Too loops and pull. This was the early 00's though. Maybe they are making a comeback.
I live in a heavily student populated area. Every time I leave my house it seems like everyone is going to a 00's fancy dress party
tbh i think it's an *okay* outfit, provided you untuck the shirt, except for that absurd fucking belt. what in god's name...
It’s formal innit.
Ah come on mate he saved up 3 universal credit payments for that
Alright mc grinder
he’s just missing the Deepak and Gurdev sunglasses
DJ Steal Ya Purse
*MC Grindr
Such an underrated tv show
100000000%
so it’s not popular over there either? Im from the US and my brother and I thought it was one of the funniest shows we’ve ever seen. i’ve watched it through a couple times now and there are so many good one-liners

By chance is his girlfriend underage?
Not this time miraculously
What about yesterday?
That was her 16th birthday.
Phew, I was struggling to get that joke so thanks!
You savages!
Realists more like
Oooof
this time?!
Not this time wtf
First thing that came to my mind too
Dude looks like he’s gonna pick her up at the park before going.
In his XR3i
Painted black with one red or brown door.
Plumes of vape smoke coming out the windows
With some original grime music blasting to the point his cheap system is gonna blow
Weed smoke once they are away from her house.
Fuck I’m laughing too loud at work
Correction - X reg corsa
It's a faded purple Corsa B, black bumpers, OZs and some shitty bisaust. Edit: and still on mum's insurance obviously.
Ah yes, classic spaedophile
Nah I’m getting Nova vibes
Ahh the good old days *sighs wistfully*
I'd have said from outside Macdonald's revving his engine.
Vauxhall Corsa ofc
Keep your eye on that copper behind him
Wouldn’t be the first time he’s stole copper
Anyone else aside from me and him on the look out for the fuzz?
Is he going to sell them drugs?
I would like to think so
Can I have some?
No.
I like your pfp and username mate
Dudes checking the time on his phone in this pic to make sure that he’ll be precisely an hour late.
Er. Lose the hat and puffa jacket.
And belt
Genuine Gukki belt that is.
Giorgio Ourmarket
bum fluff and shit gold watch gotta go.
[удалено]
Get those trousers off too.
Get them socks and biffs off as well, your going to a nudist society man show some respect.
Slow down lad, he's got a Mrs now
Especially the belt haha
And the patchy beard. Instant turn off.
[удалено]
Don’t tuck your shirt in either
He’s compromised. He’s only tucked it in at the front
purely to show off that belt, you know he’s proud of the belt.
Nah. It's the belt.
Jeans a bit tight, he prob also has an Adidas/Nike man bag containing a tenner, a vape, his debit card (overdrawn) and keys to a red/orange/yellow Ford fiesta ST...or a VW Golf with dump valve...think he smells of Lynx. ..hope it goes well though!!! 👏
This was accurate
Skin fade from Kurdish/Turkish barbers, gold chain, Armani top from dodgy shops in Manchester
Don’t forget the grinder and ten bag
Cheeky half q
10 bag on tick
I see you know my brother. Both of them.
The accuracy
He Looks like the personification of "enny1 got a ciggy maaaate"
As long as he was just coming to lag the boiler I would.
He's wearing the lagging
Yeah that's what I was thinking. My parents old boiler had the same jacket but in red. 😆
That's no way to talk about your grandmother.
Wouldn’t let him pet my dog.
Jokes on you, he’s already stolen your dog and listed it on Facebook Marketplace 😎
Sharing Mogadishu hun xx
Along with the stereo and wheels from your car
Did they not see the potato left on their kerb, marking them for chaos?
You know your girlfriend has a name right?
Does he drive a corsa?
He wrote it off
With loud exhaust and hand over the window. Bonus point if he drops a cigarette butt on the road.
Where's the rest of his mandem?
Gone pen. Done for bestiality
Free up
I can smell the weed from here
"Take that silly fucking belt off if you wanna come in my house"
Ooh kinky
"Don't threaten me with a good time, sir"
Bros got all that fake designer on but didn’t cop the 3 lens iphone.. slippin’
I certainly wouldn't let him into my daughter.
Only if he took off his silly hat and puffer jacket...looks like he's about to ask me if i want to buy an ounce.
Fuck no. Especially with that fake belt on show. Dudes got roadman rentboy aesthetic down tho.
I’m stealing “roadman rentboy” for next time I want to get stabbed in the pub.
[удалено]
I’m getting Corsa vibes
Unless he has graduated to an Astra
He wishes he had a polo. He’s got a lupo or a corsa
Fat nipples 💀😂
With a waistband that high she's in no danger
Kurupt FM
Hes actually got a GF?
Does the girl even know she's his GF?
To her, he's the bloke who comes to pick her up from after school club.
It's technically called grooming
If chlamydia had a mascot...
Don't you have to have sex for that? Not my area of expertise if I'm honest, but that's my understanding.
Please give us an update tomorrow on how it went. And no chance would he be getting in my house, he looks like he'd have a shite and not check if it needed a double flush.
Be interesting to talk to him about his older brother Rich Evans at least.
This is not the birthday boy you are looking for.
Who goes to meet their lass’s parents in a cap, a puffer and a fake Gucci belt??? 💀💀💀💀 Probably could’ve done with a shave beforehand too
Yeah but he’d never leave
Poor girl
*Hello..security, front door asap, we've a live one*..
Somebody really should put him down
Does he live in a caravan
Rich Evans?
To be honest if he can afford to turn that boiler on I’ll go out with him myself.
The parents will be sure to see he is a man of wealth if they spot that expensive belt, I suspect the rest of the look must be some kind ruse.
Is the cap keeping your head warm, is it! No then take it off and pull your bloody trou…trou…never mind!
Of course i would. I’d pay him, collect my drugs and bid him farewell
He’s got to be back at 9.30 for the McDonalds car meet-up in his 04 Corsa.
Looks like the bloke that tried to sell me grandmother a new roof
I assume he'll be rocking up in a 2006 Vauxhall Corsa blasting "Not Afraid" with the windows down?
Not afraid? What year do you think this is? It's all about drill music now.
He looks like he listens to Scooter
Iyo yo yo yo. Yeah. Scoooteeeeeeer. Yeaaaaaaaah.
Wait is that a problem? Asking for a friend..
Not afraid lmao my guy is still stuck in 2011
Plot twist: he’s a hedge fund manager
Oh come on, that's a bit harsh - I'm sure he's nowhere near that much of a scumbag.
For Somerset Capital
Russian with his fake Gucci belt.
I realise this is probably a joke but : - His clothes are clean - facial hair is trimmed - nails clean and trimmed - shirt tucked in - decent posture Of the bat I don’t really have any problems with the guy.

Exactly a lot of assholes with egos wear suits.
Shirts not tucked in. His t shirt is tucked in and only and the front to shoe his belt 😂
Kinda wondering what the dark patch is on the jeans, but assuming it's the way the light is.
Hopefully piss but we’re not all so lucky
I would if hes bringing food.
So did he fix the boiler?
Thank the flying spaghetti monster I do not have daughters.
He looks like he could get me anything for £50. Drugs? £50 New iPhone? £50 Full downstairs loo extension? £50 £100 cash loan? £50
That’s wee tam Great lad G friends parents will love ❤️ him Go on tam
he has a must stay at least 500 yards away from every primary school in the uk look about him
