    I loved him telling advertisers to fuck off and all the people listening just laughing at him like the moron that he is. He thinks his edgy, middle aged man schtick is cool, but everyone’s laughing at how pathetic he is

      What he doesn’t realise (which most middle aged men don’t realise, myself included) is how far the culture has moved since 2001. The values, the mores, the basic morality has shifted. It isn’t tight jeans past 40 that make you look old, it’s your outmoded relationship with the world that does that.

        I don’t care about right jeans making me look old because I just can’t wait until baggy pants become more acceptable to wear again. Much more comfortable!

          I’ve never stopped wearing baggy jeans. It was my first “I’m too old to give a shit” moment.

          It’s become true in recent years that I’m also I’m too, uh, husky for skinny jeans to really work.

          But honestly don’t give a shit. I’m pretty sure my wardrobe screams middle aged guy with no fucks to give and I’m just fine with that.

            I have heard uncool middle aged guy with the “not a bigot though” upgrade package is a great overall build. You would think, not that sexy right? However, surprisingly being a nice person gives you lots of buffs on your sexy skill check so even though it is low on paper, in reality you can rack up a lot of points quickly. Best part you don’t even need expensive gear to buff your stats like a cool car or nice clothes.

              The Be Kind To Kids and Animals action is really OP in those key years from around 20-50. Lots of straight guys sleep on that play.

                Seriously, if you do the math out you get sexy bonuses that easily outstrip other strategies like buying a stupid sports car or impractical big truck, for essentially zero dollars, minimal effort AND as an added bonus the people you increase your sexiness stat with the most also happen to be the kind of person that is the best to sex with (a genuinely kind person who cares about your pleasure as much as theirs, not someone who just starfishes and calls it a day).

                You basically get a free asshole filter thrown in, no extra cost. Crazy deal, and you can drive around an old beat up corolla that costs nothing to maintain, wear shit clothes and still be absolutely demolishing the competition.

              I have heard uncool middle aged guy with the “not a bigot though” upgrade package is a great overall build.

              How sad is it that there are so many middle aged white bigots that it’s something I could list like “over six feet tall” and “has a stable job” if ever I’d find myself single again. (Not that I’d really be looking for love at this point I think.) Crazy world we are living in.

              Regardless, I will walk a little straighter having read your kind words. 😁

          I honestly think skinny jeans are more comfortable than the material that they’re making baggy jeans out of. My skinny jeans stretch so much that I can sprint in them.
