The unpopular opinions thread.

I avoid formal events for that reason, I'd rather wear sweat pants and T-shirts. I don't think I even own a dress/skirt anymore and that's the way I like it.  

Lucky son of a bitch, I have wear them daily.

They always chafe too.

I have six ties, though I usually only wear two of them.

This thread has turned to heresy. It must be rectified.



You're not wearing the right ones. Also your body is atypically hard to suit, from what I remember when this came up before.

Yeah, suits really are over rated... I think guys look better dressed like this, it seems more comfortable.

I don't even own a sports jacket that fits me, much less a suit

Even tailored ones have low arm range.  When it comes to suits, I always go tailored (off the rack is useless imho, a suit is intended to look top notch and must look top notch) and even then you have low arm flexibility, especially with the jacket on.

I gotta admit that I love guys who wears suits... I mean, I fully understand that they don't have to wear them all the time but at least once in a while would be really appreciated. There's just something about it IMO, it makes the guy look... somewhat extra handsome and stylish

The men in my family wears it a lot, it varies but it's a custom to wear it to nice places

Suits are for bankers and funeral directors - that's it; if you can't rock a bowler hat and flying goggles you're doing something wrong!





Goths don't count!

Social Justice Warriors are by their nature very toxic due to their insanity. as for me, making fun of them is a good thing. 

SJW is another faction (I'll use that term) that tends to suffer from the fact that people are more interested in preaching to the converted or riling the opposition than affecting true change even if that is a stated goal. A lot of comments, initiatives groups are more about back patting or ticking off 'the enemy' than reaching the majority with a message that will further their goals. They are not alone in this however almost all movements are susceptible to this (including political parties).

On many issues you have a small hard core bubble of people on a pro side and a small hard core bubble of people on a anti side and a massive huge bubble of people in the middle who you can bring along to your way of thinking with logical good information. The hard core bubbles often totally ignore this large bubble to look good with their own or to stir up the other side of the argument. worse yet is that some initiatives actually push the large bubble towards your opponent.

Successful change comes from not getting praise from your like minded people or getting vilified from the polar opposite but by being seen as logical and a worthy faction to listen to by the big bubble in the middle.

You know Matt I really have no idea, I think it's more what the uniform represents, how the wearer carries himself and the sense of duty it reflects...although they do look sharp too, I must admit. I see a suit, I think 'preening peacock', I see a uniform, I think duty and purpose.
