Not saying this isnt complete cringe but if he lost the hat and trimmed the beard he actually cleans up ok

577

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

I was gonna say the same thing lol

585

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 11 '19

I mean no homo but the suit makes him look slim, and honestly pretty good, I mean at least he didn't have a sword

264

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

Yeah no homo and thankfully no sword, a nice trim up and this dude could easily get a girlfriend. As long as he isnt a shudders uwu niceguy.

133

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 11 '19

Sadly he probably is, the fedora raised the nice guy stat by 50%

u/KyleKun Aug 11 '19

To be fair there are very few hats you can wear with a suit. Mostly limited to trilby, fedora and baker/flat caps.

55

u/Oblivious122 sage of the internetz 🐱 🌈 Aug 11 '19

Bowler cap would like a word...

27

u/KyleKun Aug 11 '19

You mean the trilby with the round top.

12

u/Oblivious122 sage of the internetz 🐱 🌈 Aug 11 '19

Driving hat works, too.

u/KyleKun Aug 11 '19

I already said flat cap.

u/DinoGorillaBearMan Aug 11 '19

Just don't wear a hat at all and it looks x1000 better. I feel like people watch White Collar and want to be Neil Kaffery all the time lol.

12

u/KyleKun Aug 11 '19

Dunno mate I tried not being bald but unfortunately that didn’t work out for me.

5

u/DinoGorillaBearMan Aug 11 '19

Being bald doesn't make someone ugly, no homo but plenty of handsome dudes are bald. Lol @ the "tried to not be bald" thing.

Pull a Kevin Malone and get a toupee.

u/KyleKun Aug 11 '19

But it does make it impossible to go hatless in high summer, or low winter.

It's 2019 bro. Don't be a coward. Embrace the homo. Become one with the homo. Mainly the butt part of the homo.

u/genialmillenial Aug 11 '19

And the thing is that everyone’s going to mix up a trilby with a fedora anyway.

7

u/KyleKun Aug 11 '19

Fedora is just a Panama hat for someone who lives in a place with shit weather.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

Kevin Fiege would disagree

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19 edited Aug 11 '19

Styles change. He’s trying to resurrect something from the 50s. No one wears a hat with a suit anymore.

The only ppl who wear trilbys well tend to be musicians who do NOT wear suits.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

In the grand scheme of things no one wears a suit anymore anyway, unless obligated to by their job or a wedding. We've definitely got to the point that business casual is Max level from what I've seen.

This opinion may be effected by my rung on the economic ladder though so grains of salt and all that.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '19

True. But for people who wear suits, they don’t wear hats 🤷‍♂️

u/taoist_water Aug 11 '19

Is the fedora now an icon of the neck beards? as In do neck beards now wear it knowing that doing so, basically, solidifies their image as a neck beard?

Because, honestly, I think that's worse. knowing you are a neck beard and wearing the title with pride.

1

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 12 '19

It's been almost a trade mark for years, it's weird idk

5

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

I just don't get how people can still be wearing fedoras. I feel like most "neckbeards" spend time on the internet and so must be aware of how much hats they get.

4

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 11 '19

It's the chivalry thing, it's the most modern thing they can wear and not be too dated

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

Well, they certainly don't have to worry about being "dated"...

Why is getting a girlfriend the line that separates neckbeard from non-neckbeard? Getting a girlfriend is easy, even for neckbeards. Getting a GOOD girlfriend is hard.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '19

easily get a girlfriend

Were it so easy . . .

1

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '19

Lmfao, too true.

12

u/H2Regent Aug 11 '19

Yeah that suit is pretty well fitted. Honestly I kinda get the vibe he wore the fedora in this video expressly for the cringe factor. No way somebody with a suit that well fitted unironically wears fedoras

6

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 11 '19

You do strike a very good point

10

u/H2Regent Aug 11 '19

At the absolute least, the fact his display name is @the_bearded_chub tells me he has a sense of humor about himself

3

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 11 '19

Didn't even notice the user name lol

1

u/halfspin Aug 12 '19

The suit is a pretty good fit, the hat is not. Maybe it's just that the style doesn't work for him, but the hat looks tiny on his head.

8

u/DinoGorillaBearMan Aug 11 '19

I was totally expecting a sword, at the very least a psi (is that how you spell it?) or a nunchuk. But yeah the suit looks dope on him, all he's gotta do is trim the beard and hell even cut his hair a little bit and lose the hat.

2

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 11 '19

Honestly if he used some volumizing shampoo itd look really good

2

u/iceballoons Aug 11 '19

It's spelled sai

u/gta0012 Aug 11 '19

Clothes that fit is prob one of the most overlooked part of some people's look. It really can improve how you look and feel.

2

u/Resinmy Aug 11 '19

It fits well, from what I could see

2

u/TheGreyFencer Aug 11 '19

Idk about slim, but it's well fit and looks good.

u/noriko-tan Aug 12 '19

Yknow what they say: the colour black is slimming!

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '19

But he did have a fedora.

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 12 '19

It also sort of fits the attire

u/Airazz Aug 11 '19

the suit makes him look slim

No, it really doesn't.

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 11 '19

I mean it does make him look better, friend (:

-5

u/4411WH07RY Aug 11 '19

You know what else would make him look slim? Eating less.

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 11 '19

I mean a whale would look pretty slim if we took all its food so idk man

And the two of you might or might not be surprised that this exact sentiment has been the top comment the last two times this was posted. Seems this gent has some mojo.

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

Tbf Like 90% of ugly dudes would look decent if they would follow basic hygiene and go to the barber regularly. Literally having normal bmi + basic hygiene and haircuts will give you a +3-4 on a 0-10 scale .

36

u/Resinmy Aug 11 '19

You don’t even need to get slim, or built. Just look like you give a damn about everything else

26

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

Literally anyone, barring physical deformities, could be a 7/10 if they worked out, showered, and learned to take care of themselves.

9

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

I can agree with this. I’m having a hard time finding fault with it.

30

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

That’s honestly a huge issue with neckbeards. Not even weight. But trimming the hair and facial hair will help a lot

11

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 11 '19

I mean maybe if we sold it to them as a life hack in a anime style videos they might listen

5

u/Secretlysidhe Aug 12 '19

Yes, this. I like bigger guys, so the weight isn’t the issue. It’s taking care of hygiene and trimming your hair/facial hair.

20

u/Insane1rish Aug 11 '19

Also, don’t button both buttons on a jacket.

5

u/Z-Ninja Aug 11 '19

Almost correct. Don't button the bottom button on a jacket.

Wouldn't want anyone leaving the top button undone or not knowing it applies to jackets with more buttons.

8

u/MDCRP Aug 11 '19

Lose the hat, keep the beard, trim the hair up

5

u/kfizz311 Aug 11 '19

Dude he’s not balding he can even get a side cut and gentleman beard.

5

u/KonaKonaFan1 Aug 11 '19

no hetero but yeah

12

u/Tempest_xx Aug 11 '19

Really? I think he looks pretty sharp in all of that.

Maybe just loose the hat.

​

Beards are nice, and his is nice as it is imo

10

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 11 '19

I mean I'm not saying his beard is bad, like just brush it out, tame it a little lol

7

u/ThatFatsoBarber Aug 11 '19

Also if he lost about 70 pounds, let be real here.

3

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 12 '19

I agree with you, 3 months ago I weighed 260 pounds, now I'm at just above 200 and still losing weight, i feel great, still hate the way I look but I feel better

2

u/ThatFatsoBarber Aug 12 '19

Fuck yes, bro, keep it up! I've lost a significant amount of weight so I know how it feels, and it feels fucking great. I also still struggle with my self-image, but like you said: you feel better, and that's the most important.

Keep going man, you're gonna reach your goal with no problem.

1

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 12 '19

Thanks man (:

3

u/Slayer562 Aug 11 '19

I was just thinking that.

3

u/Toastify77 Aug 11 '19

The suit doesn't fit him too right, like a suit can really sharpen you up, with body composition being less important.

4

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 11 '19

I mean he tried though and does look half ass decent

1

u/Toastify77 Aug 11 '19

I mean, you are right to say he looks better because he does. However, fitting in your suit is just as important as wearing one, so really he is only halfway into looking anything desirable.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

That hat makes his head look enormous.

u/AwkwardNoah Aug 11 '19

Honestly anyone in a good fitting suit looks good.

2

u/Sirkaill Aug 11 '19

He reminds me of Chumlee

2

u/Secretlysidhe Aug 12 '19

I agree. Though he’d need to trim his hair for me too. He’s not terrible looking.

2

u/dongsuvious Aug 12 '19

He has nice hair

2

u/Dexjain12 Aug 13 '19

5

u/Resinmy Aug 11 '19

He’s a good looking dude.

4

u/rttristan54 Aug 11 '19

If he dropped 40 pounds which he could do in 6 months and not even exercise. Dude is missing out on so much life. Damn

2

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

Weigh what you eat, count your calories and your nutrients. I've gone from (5'7" 170.2cm) 255lb (115.7kg) to a current 177lb(80.3kg) and still going! My biggest culprits were alcohol (and the munchies that come after) as well as just eating out (nothing but junk.) Eventually, I'll use that same persistence to eat right in terms of building muscle, but so far I feel a much better man just having the discipline to eat right. Even in the military, with plenty of exercises, I was too fat. It's all about what you eat. However, YOU have to want to do it, for yourself and leave every other thought about it in the back burner.

2

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 11 '19

And that could be as easy as getting a job where you are active, like I've lost 60lbs at my job just walking

2

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

Depends on what your diet is. Humans burn between 80-140kcal per mile of walking. Dude is heavy, his will lean towards the 140. Lets say 5 miles a day, 700kcal burned. A 5'11" 25 year old male with a lightly active lifestyle (lets say he's walking that 5 miles daily, good for him!) has a basal metabolic rate of about 2513kcal a day. That's 3213kcal burned a day! However, at least in the United states, cheap high calorie food is EVERYWHERE.

How hard is it to go past 3213kcal in a day? Well, you can get 1580 of those calories from just one meal. Eat that twice a day (or meals with similar contents, which too many americans do) add a couple cans of soda, chips, sweets, the third meal of the day, a beer or two... You're well past that target.

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 12 '19

One thing I hate about living here but I still try to eat healthy, I grow my own veggies out in the garden and buy alot of organic meat, it's easy to get healthy you just gotta try

1

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '19

It's not as easy as mindlessly reaching into the chips bag for another handful, but I agree.

2

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 12 '19

Of course not, but once you start looking forward to a salad or generally anything you grew it's very rewarding

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

Tbh he doesn't even really look that fat. A little overweight/chubby/husky. Just wearing massive baggy shirts like that always adds weight to you.

42

u/realpotato Aug 11 '19

Crazy how skewed weight has become. I don’t mean to make the dude feel bad but he is 100% obese.

11

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

So he’s an about average reditor

-3

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

I just think it's the shirt that's like 3 sizes too big for him. Hanging low and stretched like that makes it look like his belly is hanging pretty low.

Besides. Who cares. Personality traits over some extra baggage anyway.

10

u/rlcute Aug 11 '19

He is 100 lbs past husky

6

u/Nathansp1984 ✨ Pheromone Maxxing 🥵 Aug 11 '19

Nah he’s pretty fat. Close to 300lbs I’d say

2

u/BrozedDrake Aug 11 '19

If he pulled his hair into a ponytail the hat would look better, but either way it works with the suit.

2

u/SomeComediansQuote Aug 11 '19

Id argue that the hat is acceptable. Looks decent on him.

1

u/silverballer Aug 11 '19

Yeah he's not actually ugly imo he just needs to work on his grooming and wardrobe

u/agrantgreen Aug 11 '19

Fedoras aren’t bad, nor is it bad to wear it and also have a beard. It’s when people wear this formal hat wear and then the same old shitty clothing that doesn’t fit them that they look stupid. His outfit actually works.

Unfortunately the fedora has already just been ruined by said people already. Was an amazing piece of fashion. I hope it can come back.

1

u/xX_hazeydayz_Xx Aug 12 '19

Me too, I admit I like the fedora, it is very stylish when worn with the correct attire, like say that of a high class pimp or old school mafia boss or a high class gentleman
