Comment on it really do be like that
ZC3rr0r@piefed.ca 6 days agoThat’s a stretch. I don’t need to hate someone (including myself) to deem them less attractive or just not my type.
And I honestly think that’s what’s at play here - straight guys are into women and will judge their appearance differently from how they judge the appearance of other men.
Perhaps we don’t collectively look like we dress poorly and barely take care of ourselves to women, as they likely look at other aspects of our physical appearance than we do

example of your point because i agree with it: i was out the other day. i was out of jeans so i put on khakis. i fucking hate khakis so these are old and nasty. i had two errands. one of them was to stop by the pet store and get cat food and the shirt store i like is near there so i thought i’d poke my head in and see if they had anything i liked enough that i could pretend I had enough money to buy. (they did not. it’s been a few years)
Lisa at the shirt store, she noticed right away that i was wearing my shitty khakis. First thing she said was something remarkably rude about them, i don’t remember because fuck you Lisa you don’t treat customers like that. I already knew they were ugly that’s why i hadn’t worn them in seven years.
Now, I went to high school with Lisa and she had a reputation for, how do i put this. You know the stereotype of the lesbian who broadcasts to everyone the vitriol with which she hates men? Lisa was that but not a lesbian (that i knew of) and hated everyone. I never learned of any disability, or remarkable personal difficulty, she just hated everyone and everything. But this is me she insulted. There’s so. damn. much. to choose from. She went straight for the pants. Those awful, awful pants. Either low hanging fruit or that’s what she was focusing on.
Anyways I pop in to grab cat food and there’s Quinn. Quinn immediately yells LOOK AT THOSE SHOES at me and we do a little dance by the register. (they are very nice shoes). Then I grabbed my cat food, biked back homo and gave the cat treats.
So yeah, that one day it was pants vs shoes.
