The forum you are about to enter is coed, but until the For Young Men Only book was released, September 16, 2008, it’s been dominated by the alien gender. Discussions have centered on a variety of topics including the companion book for teen girls, For Young Women Only. We hope this forum will provide answers to questions, advice, and explanations, in a way that will help you understand the opposite sex better. Young Men…enter at your own risk!

This is kinda a weird question.  I know girls always get rebuked for wearing inappropriate clothing.  But do you think there are articles of clothing guys should be rebuked for?  I can't think of any but...I was just wondering.   I mean, it's gotta be fair right.

Guys should be rebuked for wearing pants lower than their butt.

Guys should be rebuked for wearing popped collars.

Guys should be rebuked for wearing hats that are just slightly askew.

Guys should be rebuked for wearing pink polo shirts (especially with popped collars).

Guys should be rebuked for wearing anything from Abercrombie and Fitch.

Guys should be rebuked for wearing aviator glasses in combination with any of the above.

These things just look stupid.

Oh, you meant "inappropriate" as in what causes girls to lust? In that case, I have no idea.

Hahaha. That was hilarious. : ) Personally as far as guys clothing goes......I wouldn't say anything causes me to..ya know.. lust after a guy. Definitely don't wear "overly" baggy jeans. It's just gross. But I don't really think guys buy into the whole dressing a certain way just to get attention....or am I totally wrong on that?!

I know you, I love you.
I gave my life to save you.
Love paid the price for mercy.
My verdict. Not guilty.

Oh, I mean, I don't really, but sometimes I think wearing certain brands would help, but I learned from FYMO that that's not the case so idk...

A couple of the girls I hangout with complain about guys wearing tight pants...

When I want to dress to impress, I pop the collar of my pink polo shirt, put my sunglasses on and take a drive my scooter around at night to pick up chicks!

If all else fails, just put on a trench coat, a hat and some shades. Plus one of those ear~thingeys government people use...chicks dig mysterious guys!

I wear polo shirts, but I don't have any pink ones. :p I_Trust, guys do wear certain clothing (and sometimes brands) to impress girls. I know of one high school in Connecticut where if you don't wear a North Face jacket, you're more or less a social outcast (don't ask which one). Where I went to high school, if you didn't wear A&F or Aeropostale, you were also more or less shunned by a lot of people. I didn't much care, but going to a big 'preppy' high school was interesting sometimes.

It is trifles that make the sum of life.

:D :D :D Oh my gosh (David, Koudee) you guys crack me up! I owe a huge thank you to you guys today for making me laugh that hard. (seriously because i spent the whole day studying for my finals). Oh man you guys are hilarious. :P *ahem* I should get back on topic... all those things you said David, I have to agree, ESPECIALLY about the pants going below their... yeah. That just turns me off; popped collars i have to say i don't mind as much. Koudee, vous ette trés amusant. ( I had to settle for you are very funny for lack of the word hilarious). Skinny jeans on guys is also something i'd not go for.

BTW, I should have posted for inappropriateness, graphics or uncensored words on T-shirts. Those can make me flinch. BTW, any of you have any clue as to why the sudden obsession with skulls everywhere on clothing? Maybe it's just me? IDK, i personally don't get it. Why?

skulls on clothing - yuck! for girls, too. skulls = death. so why where it?! I don't get it either...

anywhooo. yeah, pants below their backsides is just annoying. it's not something that causes me to stumble, but it makes me ('cuse the vulgarity) want to pants them just to be like, "you might as well be walking around in your boxers for crying out loud!" ugh.

pink shirts are alright with me, haha. my dad has one. :p and he's manly! I think it's perfectly fine. now, if the shirt is like, overtly preppy (some fruity pattern or what-have-you)...eh. okay maybe then I would be like, *barf*.

A&F...curse them! EWWW. A&F/Hollister = sex. their ads = sex. their models = sexy. will I exploit that? HECK FLIPPING NO. (can you tell I really hate them? haha.)

You may as well come quiet.

to David's list (which made me laugh), yes to rebuking guys who wear their pants hanging down lower than their hips... and especially guys with their pants down around their knees. Yes I've seen it live. He was riding a bicycle. It was awkward.

Tight jeans are kind of also awkward...

And, like Nicole said, inappropriate graphics/words etc.

David + Koudee = you guys are great. i'm literally L-O-L-ing right now. (= lol
personally i disagree with you guys, i actually think those things are attractive, but to each his own......(=
ummm the only thing I can think of that's a HUGE turnoff is..............makeup. never, unless it's in a play. (= and baggy pants that expose underwear - those are just ugly and they don't look attractive on anyone.
personally, i think guys that wear pink are pretty cool (as long as they r straight) ----------- <--- like that lol (= just my own preference

I did not say wearing pink. I said wearing pink polos with popped collars. It's very specific ;).

I have a funny story about guy's pants down too low. We have this rather loud and outspoken lady up the road from us called Alma. One day, my mum happened to run into her on the walking track, and they started chatting. A guy rode past them on his bike, with his pants down WAY too low, and this lady yells after him: 'YOU'RE LOSING YOUR STRIDES!!"
I would have loved to have seen his face!
I laughed for AGES at that, and it's kinda become a private family joke.

Anyway, as to what I think guys should never wear:

tight jeans. I mean, EWWWW! They're bad enough on girls, but guys?!
pants gone south. I don't want to see your boxers. that's just gross!

And another thing that's pretty annoying to me: guys who use hair straighteners, particularly to straighten their mile-long-in-their-eyes- fringes. >.<
I guess I go for the REAL guys.....
And pink...... I'm undecided on that one. I think pale pink is fine, but def. not hot pink! But if you can avoid it, please do!

God Can.

Something that makes me stumble is guys who wear Speedos when they're swimming. They are basically undies and I would advise either wearing board shorts or those black swimming shorts instead. And avoid taking off your shirt unless you're swimming. That can be distracting!

David and Koudee, you guys made me laugh so hard.
For me skinny jeans is a big turn off. They are bad enough on girls. They do not need to be on guys.
Also pants below your hip line is GROSSSS!! It is a big turn off. No girl wants to see your boxers. I have a guy in my youth group that wears his pants that low, and when he bends over, all the girls have to look away because it is disgusting.

I have to agree with Jess. Please don't take your shirt off at the beach or the lake unless you are swimming. It is hard for us girls not to look, and it is super distracting like she said.

We are His portion, and He is our prize; drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes. If His grace is an ocean we're all sinking. Heaven meets earth like an unforseen kiss, and my heart it turns violently inside of my chest. I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way He loves us.

yeah, I have to agree- the boxers aren't that bad, it's that they aren't very thick and stick to their shape a little too well, so when a guy bends over... awkward....

hahahaha wow Grant and David, you guys always make me laugh.. yeh keep the shirts on untill you go in the water, it can be awkwordly distracting. ok so no ofence to anyone, but i absolutely hate it when guys wear skinny jeans, that is one of the biggest turn-offs ever, that and baggy-boxer-showing-pants!!!! its so gross! I had to tell one of my guy friends to pull up his pants.. its kinda awkword to tell a guy, go pull up your pants.. ok so guys wearing pink doesnt bother me all that much, if its a light or pale pink its ok, but if its like bright, eewww nooo.. ok and one thing i have noticed is the skater tennis shoes, i think they are annoying. like i said no offence to anyone, this just personal opinion. haha
