Foo - Forever 21 Manly discrimination.

So me and a friend decide to go into forever 21 to check out the man's section. Which as is completely strips me of any manly pride and self esteem I may have at that point. At first walking in it's like walking into a lions den. A cute, sexy, lusciously luscious lion's den. Mhmmm. But I very quickly get to the guys section which is about 5% of the store, the other 95% is wimminz. The clothes are very metrosexualish like what clay aiken wears; weird. I find some sweet stuff I like, manly stuff. I put on the absolute largest size they have XL and it will not fit me. Every shirt I hold up to my body is about 3 inches not wide enough for my back on both sides. I put on an XL and it's on the verge of ripping, I have some customers laughing at me because I'm making a big halabaloo about how this XL plaid manly shirt only will fit skinny fruitcakes. Hmph. I even had a word with the girl at the front desk about having a plus size men's section. She laughed at me. :(

I think we should team up, make a clan, and team together with the ibtc to fight for our rights.

Or, you could start shopping at a real store.

I wasn't even aware they had a man's section. I'm pretty sure out here they don't?

Regardless, in perspective:
Express: I wear XS or S shirts. 2 or 4 in pants.
Forever 21: M or L in shirts, pants= do not fit (made for hungry supermodels). I'd probably need a size 6, but they are about 5 inches too long.

Point being, their stuff is made for underdeveloped JR high and HS age population. (Same with Hollister, Abercrombie, and the like).

At any rate, its disposable fashion, and disposable clothing. Total junk, take $ elsewhere!

ohhhh like victoria secret??

Not really. In concept, somewhat, but we males can't walk around naked scaring children and civilized people and what not.

There's plenty of things I'm willing to fight for. Cheap trendy clothing for pudgy guys isn't one of them. I'll stick with buying my clothes from a shop that sells items designed to make Sasquatch sized gents like me look slightly more presentable.

why not?

wtf is forever 21? call up their corporate, ask for a clyde/husky boy, section.

why not?

I get sun burned too easily. But I've come to accept my genetic deficiencies.

wtf is forever 21? call up their corporate, ask for a clyde/husky boy, section. :lol:

Make sure you emphasize the "boy" part. ;)

Hi Pinky!

Sup grampsty!!

I hate shopping for clothes. We had to be desperate to do that. Completely bored and was in the mall to buy an 1/8th audio cord for my friend to hook his cd player into his bass amp.

For the record I wear a large in calvin klein dress shirts. The men's clothing in forever 21 is very fruity and meant for beanpoles. My wide shoulders can't fit anything.

I thought Forever 21 was meant for the younger crowd: Those between teen and adult. Hence the name.

Sup grampsty!!You rubbed off on T-Man, dude. He called me grampy the other day. :notamused:

And how old is Pinky boy Mcgillicutty?

veinteuno anos.

veinteuno anos.

Isn't that veinte y uno anos?

You should have tried flexing while you were trying on the shirt and yelled "Hulk smash!" to the sound of threads tearing. It would have been expensive for you, but it also would have made a better story.

Isn't that veinte y uno anos?

OH yeah. I keep forgetting that Pheard and Mich, and Taerom are very close in age.

No lie, never been in there.

You're not alone bud. I never heard of it either.

So- whats in those two stores that the woman didn't go to?

Spencer's Gifts and The Leather Shop. ;)

I find some sweet stuff I like, manly stuff.




They cancel each other out. FAIL.

That was the mission. Did you not read the mission?I'm a man. I don't read directions, and I don't shop at the bloody Gap.

I wasn't even aware they had a man's section.

They don't - he was in the tom-boy section.

:roflmao2:

Century 21 for me....

They don't - he was in the tom-boy section.

Actually, I do have a nice coat from the "men's section" of fashion 21.

Hint--guys, this store is NOT for you. Unless you like wearing girly clothes, and in that case, I do not take it against you and will actually encourage you to go shopping with me. I'll even take you to Papaya and Charlotte Russe. I have an excellent record of helping guys look like girls.

guys come into Express and buy girl's jeans...
I guess its scenester or something.

plus, we have the ultraskinny. and in black.

Nope.

I want to laugh, but all I get is a lonely tear.

Not really. In concept, somewhat, but we males can't walk around naked scaring children and civilized people and what not.Women shop. Men buy. A REAL man doesn't shop for clothes...when and if (and only if) he needs something, he buys it, in minimal time with minimal effort (see the mall map above).

I drop my daughter off to go shopping there. Whaddaya mean they got guys in there!

Try Ross or Marshalls.

I wasn't even aware they had a man's section. I'm pretty sure out here they don't?

That is what I thought.

Women shop. Men buy. A REAL man doesn't shop for clothes...when and if (and only if) he needs something, he buys it, in minimal time with minimal effort (see the mall map above).

The problem that I come across almost every single time I need to buy clothing is that they don't have what I want. If I want a lawn mower, I can go to Sears and buy a lawn mower. If I want a soccer ball, I can go to Joes and buy a soccer ball. If want an XT derailuer, I can go to the bikeshop and buy an XT derailuer.

But supposing I want to replace a worn out shirt covered in oil stains, can I go to the clothing store and buy the same shirt? Nooooo! To Levi's credit, however, they did have the same jeans as I previously bought, and now they even save me several years worth of work by adding the holes in at the factory, so I can discard them as worn out as soon as I pay for them.

And heaven forbid anything should fit comfortably. That's becoming a major problem lately...even worse than inconsistency in fit. That alone is a nightmare when even the exact same item can vary by a full size (eg: mediums that are larger than larges, etc).

But supposing I want to replace a worn out shirt covered in oil stains, can I go to the clothing store and buy the same shirt? Nooooo! Well, of course not! You have to provide the oil stains yourself!

Why does the blue line go into the Gap? Hell with that.

Exactly. That line should go to the nearest thrift store.
