To be honest I envy people who can dress like this. If I wear anything that tight around my crotch I just have a great big bulge. I'm not even that big I just presume it's the way my junk is and just seems to stick out more? It's a right fucking pain anyway.

I have an undewhelming penis too, and it's laughable when soft, but I still have an obscene bulge when I wear any sweatpants, and most formal trousers. Maybe my boxers are too tight and so are mushing my cock and balls into one conspicuous lump? Or maybe I wear my trousers too high up. I haven't really thought about it too much.

Lads, would it be wrong/sad of me to pay a professional photographer to take some pictures for a dating profile? I did a quick google and found £99 for a two-hour shoot. Told to bring a few changes of clothes and we'd travel around to get about 200 photos.

I just feel like I'm not able to sell myself well with the smattering of old photos of me drinking or the goofy selfies I take. Normally it's fine because I've at least been told by women that the awkward selfies look cute but I seem to be on a dry-spell which doesn't help with how things are at the moment. Posted in /poof/ because I feel silly and know every picture will be transparently staged.

I find myself deleting and re-making my Tinder once every month or so, because that exact thing happens to me. I get about 2 days of occasionally getting matches and then that's it, never shown again. I've tested this with friends and despite being in the same room as them and me being able to see them, it simply does not show me to them.

People will say that Tinder isn't real life, etc etc etc but the fact of the matter is that Tinder isn't some niche platform that only a few people use; it's a massive part in the whole dating scene these days and you simply can't discount it.

I suppose it depends on your definition of ugly - my point is that most lads don't look like models but still do fine. I'm bald and one eye is droopier than the other, i don't have a particularly square jaw and i'm not really buff - if I'm being generous I'm a 5/10 at best, but I still match plenty of people on tinder.

I have no doubt a Calvin Klein model gets inundated with matches, far more than I'll ever see (if you really want to get into it, go see how many matches and messages even a fairly average lass gets), but it's not like I can change that.

6189 Clothes, what do they mean?
I'm not quite sure how to phrase this question or if I am over thinking it.

But how much are clothes an expression of personality, and communication to you? And how much do you make assumptions about people based on their clothing choice?

It occurred to me that I consider my fashion choices an expression of my inner self, if I wear something I would never normally would I feel like an imposter.

I also make assumptions about personality the most obvious example I can think is this picture >>/x/19373. When I first saw it back in 2011 was driven wild by it. But later on I found out it was of famous performer Taylor Momsen, my attraction immediately dropped, because I went from assuming the choices were those of a person, to a cynically curated presentation, it was like I was told Father Christmas wasn't real and with that the magic was lost forever.


I'm waffling but I guess my question is, what are you trying to say with the clothes you wear .gs? is it saying something genuine about you? Is it a costume? Who do you wear your clothes for the benefit of? And what things do you think people unintentionally say with them?
They seem like an enormous indicator of culture and the zeitgeist (the man on the street, there’s nothing cultural about the fashion industry), but one I have just taken for granted because it is always just there.

Quite wrong there lad, I see you're also in a semantic hell of your own. Never mind, I'm here to help you out.

A bad argument is easily reduced to 'because I say so', of course people with bad arguments won't admit that because it admits one's own stupidity or lack of argument. That's why the suspect is clinging hopelessly to the notion that nondescript isn't clear. You can observe this easily with children bickering amongst themselves.

A good argument is different, you can't boil it down to 'because I say so'. Take smoking for example, you should not smoke because it's bad for you and has a dramatically negative impact on your life. That's a good argument because it's true, it's not true because I think it is.

Now, if I were to say you should stop posting on this board because you're an insufferable cunt, then I can't really back that up with anything— it's reduced to 'you should not post here because I say so'. The argument is weak and ridiculous, the only hope would be the unlikely event that people would echo that. Even, the argument would make me look immature, like a child having a temper tantrum.

Don't worry, if I see you struggling again I'll step in and help you out. We'll get there.

Is this a tailored suit or a bespoke suit? And what purposes do you see yourself using the suit for? If you are just going to buy a dull all purpose suit, I wouldn't see the point in paying the extra for something you could buy a decent version of on the high street.

The point of getting a tailored or bespoke suit is not about a quality of manufacturing but a choice of materials and style.

If all you are doing is getting the suit made to measure are you sure it is justified? Without knowing what you will be paying is it worth that over the regular store suit?

To justify a suit like that, it has to be something special.

>but they're Americans and the service there might be different, or there might better options here.

As a general rule people looking for suits from abroad get them from east Asia as a normal Joe you can afford to pay a skilled tailor for their valuable time there rather than one in America.

It depends. If you can find a decent fit by having a high street suit altered, it's not really worth the risk and hassle of ordering online. If you're a weird shape and have always struggled to find a good fit, I can wholeheartedly recommend one of the cheap MTM tailors.

If you do go for it, I'd strongly recommend paying a local seamstress to measure you up - it shouldn't be too expensive and you'll avoid the risk of cocking up your own measurements.

As others have said, unless you're a particularly odd shape, buying off the peg then getting it fitted at a seamstress is likely a much better idea and will look exactly as good.

Even with accurate measurements to give, I don't think I'd want to rely on a suit being sent to me I've never tried on - even the worst alterations shop will at least be able to see how a suit wears on you in real life, and can adjust accordingly.

Unless you're really set on the idea of choosing your own fabrics and so on, I'd advise against it.

Whichever way you go though, I'd also recommend getting your shirts fitted too. That was a game changer for me.

currently going through the process of whitening via dentist, steps as such:

got a mould made of my teeth at the dentist
come back 2 weeks later, get personalised kit with teeth whitening gel, syringe things and my plastic mould to squirt gel in
every evening before i go to bed i squirt gel in the mould and put it on my teeth overnight (but often i can only last four hours before it gets too burn-ey), it's quite uncomfy to wear and very strongly acidic so it hurts like a bitch if your teeth are at all sensitive (mine are a bit so i have to alternate nights).

the results have been quite good so far tbh, i wasn't expecting like jurgen klopp results but then again i think the creepy whitening shit is done via veneers which are like 10 grand a tooth so you'd prob go down my route which cost me 290 quid for the mould and the set of gel and syringes (and dental advice).

(A good day to you Sir!)

I have an 'assessment day' lined up with a tech contractor. I typically wear this sort of get-up when I'm trying to look professional - smart blue or white shirt with khakis and sometimes a tie. I'm sure it sounds informal to some but in my experience it's what people in my field look like. And a full-blown suit seems a little OTT given it's not a one-on-one interview.

My question is, what shoes do I wear with it? I usually wear boots, which doesn't get glances in academia but would probably look off in a professional setting. What sort of footwear matches this? Before anyone mentions it, despite my generally awful dress sense I'm aware of the cardinal rule of matching belt with shoes.

Any help much appreciated.

This.

In my current car, there's only about 100rpm difference between 70 and 80 in 6th gear. In my last one it was close to 1000, so significantly different results.

Drive your car in top gear at 70 and 80 then get back to us. Or just post your make, model and year here.

Dropped my watch in the loo last night. Fished it out quickly enough, but later spotted some condensation. Put it in a Tupperware type container with the crown out and the mother of all silica gel bags in the window where it would get direct sunlight for a few hours. There was still some there. Moved the box to a radiator for a few hours. It's still not done, but the bag and the container now have a slightly nasty smell like something was burnt.

If it doesn't clear up overnight, what do I do and roughly how much lighter is my wallet likely to be?

Pic is not the actual watch, obviously.

Rice just doesn't do a great job of absorbing moisture from air.
Just get some silica gel, you can get a huge bag for a few quid. That will absorb humidity down to a few percent RH, and it will get the watch bone dry.

Still not quite done, though that might be because it looks like when I left it there this morning I forgot to take the crown back out. Doesn't look like there's much moisture left though. Can't imagine that the silica pack the size of my hand is anywhere near saturated yet.

I asked you if you were a judgemental prick, but now that we have accepted you are, what are we going to do about it. Because I think you would be more happy and less insecure if you weren't.

You can still just admit you didn't read the comic before you made a judgement about me based on what I said and what you didn't know.

I had read the comic previously and had skimmed over it the 'ugly' part my mistake. I admit that.

I still don't think the comic is a bad message, as my stance about the expression of the persons personality stands. But I understand your perspective better.

Okay then, that's fine. Clearly the guy is well intentioned, I just find the situation a little unintentionally iffy.
