@MyShadowLove  Men were hotter, harrier, and more masculine in the 1960's photo-(I don't see chest hair in that photo- but I know its there!) whereas look at all of the baby faces and weak jaws on the 2023 young men! And look at how the 1960's men are casually and happily smiling for the camera whereas the modern young men are preening and posing for the camera.  I know this is just one photo comparison, but it has some real truth to it! And you're right- the pants are sloppy and baggy on the 2023 guys. 


 

 

@SportyShorty07 ...Just to clarify, I didn't say that "the pants are sloppy and baggy" on the 2023 guys...I said that the guys looked just fine in their more leisure clothes...clean and comfortable...I also don't see them "preening and posing for the camera" as you mentioned. 

 

The guys in the 1960's photo are dressed up and posing for a professional photograph which is what people usually do when having a professional photograph taken.

 

 

Here is my quote from my original post...My pet peeve remark wasn't referring to the guys in the 2023 photo.

 

 

@laluzdelmundo ...I think that the guys in the 2023 photo look just fine in their more leisure clothes...clean and comfortable.

 

My pet peeve is when pants are pulled down...baggy with underwear showing...What is with that and what is holding them up?

@MyShadowLove  I'm sorry about my misunderstanding about your quote- its hard for me to read forums sometimes and understand who writes what with the quotes and the responses.  The pants do look comfortable on the 2023 guys, they're just not what I'd prefer on a guy.  I think the guys in the 2023 photo look too posed and a little cocky in their photos since they're all social media influencer photos. I just am confused by fashion trends for young men these days- its too informal to me.  Thank you for clarifying your original post and what you said though Smiley Happy

@SportyShorty07 ...No apologies necessary!...Just a slight clarification... I also wanted to be careful that I didn't come out sounding harsh in my reply to you as it can be like walking a tightrope on social media when we try to express ourselves at times...lol...so thanks for your kind reply. Woman Happy
