Rasasi Hawas Line-up Review
The Hawas line started with one ridiculously successful sweet-fresh fragrance… and then Rasasi kept expanding it into every direction possible. Some flankers actually improve the DNA. Some feel like experiments. And a few honestly feel like “Hawas wearing a different outfit.” One thing almost all of them have in common: strong projection, noticeable sweetness, and attention-seeking performance. Hawas for Him What it smells like: Fruity aquatic + cinnamon + ambergris sweetness Review: The OG beast. This thing basically helped popularize the loud “fresh but sweet” style in the Middle Eastern designer market. The opening is fruity, aquatic, spicy, and VERY synthetic. But in the air? It works ridiculously well. People around you usually smell “fresh sexy perfume” rather than the harshness you notice up close. Modern noses may find it a bit dated now because so many brands copied this DNA afterwards. Still performs like a monster though. Compliment machine. Hawas for Her What it smells like: Fruity florals + creamy musk + soft sweetness Review: Very easy-going feminine scent. Fresh fruits, soft florals, musky sweetness… nothing difficult or challenging here. Feels youthful, clean, and attractive in a very mainstream way. The kind of fragrance that almost nobody will hate. Not niche-smelling. Not artistic. Just pleasant and wearable. Hawas Ice What it smells like: Frosted apple + citrus + aquatic sweetness Review: This is what happens when Rasasi takes OG Hawas and cleans it up. Still loud. Still sweet. But smoother, fresher, and more modern. The fruity sweetness feels colder and less syrupy. There’s a sharp icy freshness running through the scent that makes it easier to wear in heat. A lot of people genuinely prefer this over the original now. It keeps the addictive Hawas DNA while feeling more refined and less “bubblegum loud.” Probably the safest blind buy in the whole men’s lineup. Hawas Fire What it smells like: Spicy sweetness + smoky amber + warm woods Review: This one feels aggressive. The opening is sharp, spicy, slightly alcoholic, and honestly a little chaotic. But the drydown becomes MUCH better. Warm amber, sweetness, slight smokiness… it starts feeling darker and more addictive. Definitely not smooth luxury perfumery. More like raw energy in fragrance form. Some people will love the intensity. Others will think it’s too loud and synthetic. Hawas Elixir What it smells like: Thick vanilla amber + sweet tonka + dark gourmand warmth Review: This is Hawas after eating an entire dessert buffet. Dense, rich, sweet, warm, and HEAVY. Performance is insane, but balance can feel questionable. A few sprays too many and it becomes suffocating. The sweetness leans almost chocolatey at times. Very clubbing/night-out energy. Not versatile at all. Cool weather only, honestly. Hawas Kobra What it smells like: Citrus + ginger + tea + musky woods Review: Easily one of the most hyped Hawas flankers recently. And yeah… this is VERY close to the Louis Vuitton Imagination style DNA. Bright citrus, spicy ginger, clean tea note, smooth musk underneath. Smells expensive in the air. But reactions are EXTREMELY divided. Some people think it smells luxurious and addictive. Others think it smells like premium soap, lemon cleaner, or hand wash. Performance is absolutely nuclear for a fresh scent though. Probably one of the strongest fresh fragrances Rasasi has made. Honestly one of the best modern releases in the lineup if you enjoy the Imagination DNA. Hawas Malibu What it smells like: Pineapple citrus + creamy tropical woods Review: Beach resort fragrance. Bright tropical sweetness with creamy undertones that make it feel relaxed and vacation-like. The pineapple note gives it a cheerful energy without becoming childish. Very easy to wear casually. Performance is weaker than most Hawas releases though. Starts strong, fades quicker than expected. Still one of the most fun summer flankers in the line. Hawas Tropical What it smells like: Coconut + creamy fruits + tropical sweetness Review: This one goes FULL vacation mode. Creamy coconut, fruity sweetness, suntan lotion vibes… there’s nothing subtle about it. Some people will absolutely love the tropical creamy style. Others will think it smells like expensive flavored sunscreen. Not very versatile, but definitely has personality. Feels more playful than classy. Hawas Verde What it smells like: Mint + citrus + green herbal freshness Review: Probably the freshest Hawas. Very green, cooling, energetic kind of scent. Feels like crushed mint leaves mixed into sparkling lemonade. Less sweet than most flankers which honestly helps a lot. Doesn’t smell super luxurious, but smells extremely refreshing. Amazing hot-weather type fragrance. Hawas Viper What it smells like: Dark spices + woody musk + masculine sweetness Review: This one tries hard to feel dangerous. Dark spicy sweetness with a rough masculine edge. Less smooth than Black or Ice. More aggressive and edgy. Honestly feels like a nightclub fragrance made for confidence rather than elegance. Not very versatile, but definitely stronger in personality than some safer flankers. Hawas London What it smells like: Fresh spicy woods + aromatic sweetness Review: Very designer-style fragrance. Clean, modern, versatile… but also kinda familiar. Feels like Rasasi blended multiple popular designer DNAs together into one safe crowd-pleaser. Nothing offensive. Nothing groundbreaking. Easy daily wear. Probably one of the most office-safe flankers. Hawas Atlantis What it smells like: Marine freshness + salty musk + watery woods Review: This one pushes the aquatic side hard. Fresh, watery, salty, clean. Honestly smells more like luxury shower gel than an actual complex fragrance. Very linear too. But in brutal summer heat? It works. Feels sporty and refreshing rather than artistic. Hawas Black What it smells like: Pineapple + grapefruit + oakmoss + smoky woods Review: Probably the most respected Hawas among fragrance enthusiasts. This is VERY clearly inspired by Nishane Hacivat / Aventus-style DNA. Bright pineapple and citrus in the opening, then heavy oakmoss and woods take over. It smells darker, greener, harsher, and more aggressive than the original Hawas. And yeah… the opening can be REALLY sharp. Some people absolutely love the rugged masculine energy. Others think it smells harsh and earthy. But performance? Beast mode. This stuff projects hard, lasts forever, and smells extremely powerful in the air. Definitely not a safe blind buy though. Hawas Pink What it smells like: Sugary fruits + airy florals + soft musk Review: Bright, playful, sweet, feminine. Very social-media-friendly type fragrance. Feels youthful and easy to compliment. Not much complexity here — mostly just pretty fruity sweetness all the way through. Very easy to wear casually. Hawas Diva What it smells like: Creamy white florals + vanilla musk Review: More mature and elegant than Pink. Smoother floral blending, creamier vanilla, softer overall feel. Still mass appealing, but less playful and sugary. Feels more polished and dressed-up. Very feminine without becoming overly loud. Hawas Eclat What it smells like: Citrus florals + clean musk + soft woods Review: Clean-girl aesthetic in perfume form. Fresh, airy, musky, and slightly elegant. Not very sweet. More “luxury shampoo and skincare” vibes. Very office-safe and daytime-friendly. Some people may find it too soft or generic, but it smells clean and polished. Final honest takeaway The Hawas line is basically Rasasi experimenting with different ways to make loud, mass-appealing fragrances. Some flankers genuinely evolved beyond the original. Others feel repetitive. But when Rasasi gets it right… they REALLY get it right. * Worth trying: Hawas Ice, Hawas Black, Hawas Kobra, Hawas Malibu * Best performer: Hawas Black * Best modern freshie: Hawas Kobra, Verde * Most mass appealing: Hawas Ice * Most unique: Fire, Verde * Safe but basic: London, Atlantis, Hawas for Her * For specific taste: Tropical, Viper, Black * Most overrated nowadays: OG Hawas for Him submitted by /u/Ok_Background_8973 to r/DesiFragranceAddicts [link] [comments]

Summer outfits inspo for Men ☀️
For building summer outfits you don't need more clothes but better choices. Fabrics, colors, and textures are important during this weather. Avoid wearing colors which feel heavy and opt for breathable tones. Also be careful of the bright colours as they tend to look tacky at times. The safest best is to go for muted tones as they feel expensive. If you are someone who is looking to find your personal style DM me or book a session through the link in my bio. submitted by /u/Existing_Quote_1965 to u/Existing_Quote_1965 [link] [comments]

Summer fashion trends 2026 for men
Fashion changes every year, and each bringing a wave of trends that includes silhouettes new to the eye or just restored from the past. Here are all the summer fashion trends for 2026 after watching shows of Armani, Prada, Chanel, Acne Studios, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, LV, Japanese shows and the GQ fashion trend predictions. Striped shirts- not your regular formal shirts, but the more loose and relaxed fitting shirts with the vertical pinstripes creating a perfect look for semi formal or semi street wear fits. Multiple brands played around them and are definitely a must buy for layering tank tops. Bold yet meaningful- not your random holiday prints or bold texts. But your prints that speak words, define yourself so you don’t need to say who you are when someone sees you. Going crazy this summer isn’t going to be a bad idea.. just keeping it under control and filled with meaning is going to keep your outfits bold yet subtle. Experimental hats- plain trucker, baseball hats are going out and incoming are hats that are loud and expressive. Not everybody has what it takes to style a hat that isn’t your usual ones but if done correctly, it would make an outfit elevate itself. Whether it be distressed, rough, acid wash, buckets, crocheted, newsboy caps and what not. Dressed to be cool- your formal outfits are gonna be in trend if they get a silhouette of loose and relaxes tailoring, shirts, coats, pants everything. Whether it be weddings, parties, events, etc. a good relaxed formal set will never let you down this summer. Polos are here!- your rugby polos, woven polos, knitted and what not, all are going to come back once again. They are more like a classic piece in these past years and I see no slowing down in it. Linen is the new cotton- a few linen shirts and pants are a must in summer’s especially in the Indian heat. Better breathability and lighter weight makes it a really good material to have pieces of this summer for every guy. Baggy jeans are out?!- no they are not! Baggy jeans are here to stay and the west has proved it, the influencers there are still wearing them and making them a silhouette that is going to be a go to for everyone new to fashion. Though wide leg and barrel leg jeans might be more trendy than baggy jeans as brands have played around more wide legs than baggy fits in their bottoms. Footwear- for all the samba paglus… stay happy because the slim fit sneakers are not going to finish any time soon. Brands are rather investing more time in this whole slim fit silhouette and even Nike is planning to launch shoes to challenge adidas in this race. Dad shoes/chunky shoes, are gonna be sidelined a bit but a pair of of them won’t be hurting your wardrobe and are still gonna be relevant in fits containing cargos and sweatpants. Derby shoes are back in the formal outfits because of the relaxed and loose silhouette coming back in tailored outfits. Accessories- Backpacks still aren’t the preferred ones to be carried on your shoulders as totes, leather handbags and other bags are still going to dominate the summer time. Belts with bold and big buckles can be treated as a statement piece in your outfits. Neckerchiefs are another trend that can be seen in semi-casual fits with polos and elevate your style if paired well. Full coloured glasses are out and tinted shades are in as well. **some of my own suggestions** Cropped and boxy silhouettes in t-shirts is gonna be the main go to instead of regular oversized fit tees. Bold colours are gonna be more preferred if styled well than just usual whites and plain colours. Watches are gonna be more minimal instead of bulkier ones like leather straps, resins, oxidised metal and stainless steel. Acid wash T-shirts or slightly distressed T-shirts are going to be more trendier than just basic back print T-shirts that everybody wears. submitted by /u/LivingOnRiffs to r/CleanfitsTeenIndia [link] [comments]

I(39f) am getting increasingly paranoid at my husband(41m) and his relationship with our daughters(16f) friend(16F).
This is a repost sub. I’m not the Original OP (OOP) OOP: u/Mommytex Published on: r/relationships Story is: CONCLUDED Story timeline Main Post: October 21, 2015 Final Update: October 22, 2015 Main Post October 21, 2015 I(39f) am getting increasingly paranoid at my husband(41m) and his relationship with our daughters(16f) friend(16F). Throw away account and names have been changed This situation involves a few people. My husband Rick, myself(Sarah), Our daughter Cass, and her friend Tina. Rick and I have been married for 19 years, and we have had a mostly happy marriage. We have one daughter(Cass), who has always been a loner. This year, Cass made some new friends. This was the 1st time she had real friends, so we were happy about it. These 4 girls started coming to our place after school, and on the weekend. They dress how teenage girls do, short shorts, tiny shirts, yoga pants, small dresses. I noticed that sometimes my husband's gaze would linger on them, but it was never more than a glance. I didn't know if I was seeing things or just being sensitive, so I let it go. In the summer they started using our pool and hot tub. Again I noticed that Rick would sit out on the deck to read a book. I never caught him watching them though, and he never stayed outside for more than a few minutes. I did notice that his office blinds stayed open, and his window looks over the pool. Again, I said nothing because there wasn't anything except a feeling. Sometime during the summer the girls got really friendly with him, and started to call him by his 1st name. One girl, Tina. Was especially friendly. Tina has shown up at our house when Cass isn't home yet. She says she doesn't mind waiting, and she plops right down next to Rick and tries to chat him up. Either he doesn't notice, or he pretends not to notice. She bounces around him in her skimpy outfits, and he seems oblivious, but I know Rick isn't stupid. Last week, she "missed" her school bus so she asked Rick to drive her. When he agreed she gave him a giant hug. The kind where you hang off the person, and it lasted a few seconds too long. Again, Rick seemed not to notice. The last straw, and the reason I'm posting this is what happened on Saturday. I was walking in our hallway, and I heard her say to Rick, Do you really think I'm beautiful? Rick replied that he did, and she shouldn't ever forget it. I peeked in, she was sitting on the couch next to him, she hugged him again, and again it lingered. Then she prance out. When she saw me standing there, she averted her eyes and scrambled past me. This time I asked Rick what that was about. He said simply, you know teenagers and their self esteem issues. I don't know what I should do, or if I should do anything. If I am wrong I would be alienating my husband, my daughter, and throwing a wrench into her first real friendship. tl;dr My husband and my daughters friend are getting too close and it makes me uncomfortable and paranoid. COMMENTS datafoxdatafox Cass' friends are no longer allowed over when she isn't home. They can come back later. You can't just apply this rule to Tina alone. Talk to your husband about boundaries that are getting crossed here, that could end up with potential legal trouble. Do not accuse him of cheating unless you have proof. This girl has a crush on him and probably some mental issues. Next time, if she tries to pull it again, you drive her wherever. Not your husband. Take this time to ask her more about herself. Change the focus to you being the confidante over time as there might be something wrong at home. Don't fret. I think you've witnessed enough red flags to fix the issue before it escalates. OOP I feel like to this is good advice, I don't want to come off like I am Calling him a pedo ozogati I think telling a 16 year old he thinks she is beautiful is in fact wildly inappropriate.... OOP That's what I thought too, but after I thought about it, I didn't hear the context of the Conversation destroyer96FBI I mean married for 19 years, you can't just talk about it? I see all of these posts setting rules. If my GF came up to me and started saying "You cant be here with x alone" "you're not allowed to do this" I would get upset. If you have a problem use your words, and figure it out. You let it get into your head that he in-fact has a crush on this girl you wont believe any different even if he tells the opposite. OOP Wow. You make a great point. I couldn't just tell Rick that he can't be alone with Tina, or anyone else for that matter. That makes it sound like I am blaming him. I will try to talk to him and figure it out. Final Update - next day October 22, 2015 [UPDATE]I(39f) am getting increasingly paranoid at my husband(41m) and his relationship with our daughters(16f) friend(16F). Last night, Tina had dinner at ours. As she was leaving she started passing out hugs. This time when she went to hug Rick, he stopped her cold, by stepping behind a chair, and saying "Good Night Tina". This was noticeably strange. When Tina left Cass asked Rick what that was about. Rick said he wanted a family meeting. So Before i was able to say anything, Rick laid out some new ground rules for guests. None of the girls were allowed in the house when Cass wasnt home. None of the girls were allowed into his study. It was a short meeting, but that was it. Cass didnt really know what to make of it, but said ok and went back up to her room. I prodded for more answers and i found out what had happened. It turns out, that some time during dinner, Tina tried to corner him in the hallway and kiss him. She told him that there was something she needed his help with, and she didnt want other people to overhear. when he got close enough she tried to kiss him. when he stopped her,(he made sure to stress that her lips never touched him), she tried to grab him innappropriately. At that point, he retreated back to the dinner table. At this point, i told him that i saw that Tina had a crush on him a while ago, and he should have set up boundries long ago. He didnt see it. To him that almost kiss came out of nowhere. He was freaking out a bit. So i finally asked him to go into more detail of why he said that she was beautiful that day. Turns out that she had come to him, and said she needed to talk about something important. Rick suggested she talk to me, but Tina said that this was something only he could help her with, and it was a little bit embarrassing. So that saturday, he met her in his office, and Rick said, that Tina told him, that the people at school hate her, and that she is ugly. and that she would die alone. that kind of stuff. She asked him if She is really ugly and if she would die alone. He said he can assure her that the wont die alone, and that she is a beautiful girl, and even if she wasnt, that doesnt mean she would die alone. Tina's response was "Do you really think i'm beautful". and that is where i heard from. He said he was just trying to be supportive. He only thought of her like he would his own daughter. So it does make sense. Now that i know what is going on, I'm not sure if it is safe for Tina to be around at all. I just cant help but to think of the lies Tina could tell if we cut her out of our lives. That and Cass really loves her friend. tl;dr: Talked with Rick, found out things got alot worse. COMMENTS Dolomite808 Honestly, I thought he was clueless when you posted your original post. I don't think most married middle aged men would think that one of their daughter's friend could possibly be attracted to them. Glad to hear it ended up being ok, if a bit awkward. OOP he was clueless. up until the last second. what would it have looked like if i turned the corner and rick was bent down, and she was going in for a kiss... Rick is about 6'3 so, for a kiss to even almost happen, it would have looked like he was leaning in for it Stubbedtoe33 Let's be glad that didn't happen otherwise this would be a whole different update. Do you trust your husband enough though if that situation occurred would you believe him if he said it was a misunderstanding? OOP I want to say i do. but given my track record on jumping to conclusions i am not confident. Doughchild You might have to talk to Cass about it. Mother to daughter. Mainly so she can see that you and Rick are a united front, you have communicated about it and you are okay. And maybe she'll look for a new friend then. You don't have to tell Cass specific details, but you could tell her that Tina was inappropriate. Also in how Cass approaches men, Tina might've told her about her adventures. Hmm... i guess she could still be Cass' friend, but there needs to be a talk about boundaries and sexuality. Cass seems to be a bit forgotten in this situation and Tina has caused trouble. Cass needs some attention and care. OOP I did forget about her a little bit, when she is going to be effected by this as much as anyone else. when she gets home i plan on having a talk with her. This is a repost sub. I’m not the Original OP (OOP) Please remember to follow the subreddit rules, especially the ones about brigading. Let’s aim for a respectful and friendly discussion for everyone involved. submitted by /u/BigONerd to r/BORUpdates [link] [comments]

The 11 most attractive summer essentials for men that actually get compliments
Let’s be real. Summer isn’t just about the heat, it’s about how you show up. You’ve probably noticed that some people just have that effortless summer vibe, cool, confident, and like they just stepped out of a GQ editorial. What’s their secret? Spoiler: It’s not about how much money you drop. It’s about smart choices and keeping things simple. If you’re tired of throwing on any random T-shirt and cargo shorts, this is your crash course in leveling up your summer game. These picks aren’t just "trendy", they’re functional, stylish, and designed to make people take notice. Here’s the ultimate list of summer essentials every man should consider this year: Linen shirts Breathable, light, and ridiculously classy. Linen is a must-have when the temps rise. According to a study from North Carolina State University on fabric breathability, linen outperformed most other fabrics, making it a no-brainer for hot days. Roll up the sleeves, pick a neutral or pastel color, and you’re golden. Tailored swim shorts Say goodbye to baggy board shorts. Go for mid-thigh tailored swimwear (think Orlebar Brown or similar styles). A well-fitted pair makes you look taller and more put-together. GQ Style Editor Will Welch swears by this as the single most transformative summer upgrade. Polarized sunglasses Protect your eyes and look effortlessly chic. Opt for classic shapes like aviators or wayfarers. The American Academy of Ophthalmology emphasizes how polarized lenses reduce glare and protect against UV rays, style meets practicality. Minimalist sneakers White leather or canvas sneakers go with EVERYTHING. They’re versatile enough for a casual stroll or dinner at a seaside restaurant. Check out brands like Common Projects or Vans depending on your budget. Short-sleeve camp collar shirts Camp collar shirts are the ultimate chill-but-elevated look. Go for bold prints or tropical patterns if you’re feeling adventurous. Vogue’s summer trend report named these the "everyman staple" for their versatility. Chino shorts Ditch the denim. Chino shorts are breathable and add instant style points. Keep them slim-fit and stick to colors like khaki, navy, or olive for easier pairing. A timeless watch A lightweight, water-resistant watch (like a classic Seiko Diver or Timex) can pull your whole outfit together. It’s the small details that count. No-show socks Please don’t ruin your sneakers by going sockless. No-show socks keep your feet comfortable and sweat-free while delivering that clean ankle-baring look. Fragrance with citrus vibes A summer-worthy cologne is non-negotiable. Look for fresh, citrus-heavy notes like bergamot or vetiver. "Acqua di Parma Colonia" and "Tom Ford Neroli Portofino" are classics that scream summer sophistication. A woven belt Swap your heavy leather belt for a lighter woven one, it pairs perfectly with chinos or linen trousers and vibes with summer’s laid-back mood. Straw hats or caps Keep your head cool while dialling up your style. Whether it’s a Panama hat or a classic baseball cap, the right headwear adds an effortless touch of personality. The best part? These aren’t seasonal throwaways. Most of these items will carry you through several summers if you choose quality over quantity. Want to stand out this summer? Focus on leveling up your basics instead of following every micro-trend. What’s your go-to summer essential? submitted by /u/Tough_Ad8919 to r/RelentlessMen [link] [comments]

My(f23) former pastor defended Larry Nassar in a pre-sermon rant about the winter olympics, and my parents are relaying his message to my brother(m12)
I am not OOP. The OOP for this post is u/throwraowlcheesecake. His posts were made to r/OpenChristian, a community that while smaller than r/Christianity, prides itself on being more progressive and LGBTQ friendly with rules that don't allow anyone to speak negatively about them Important Context: Larry Nassar was a Team USA Women's National Gymnastics Team doctor from 1996-2014, where he used his position to exploit and sexually assault hundreds of young athletes as part of the largest sexual abuse scandal in sports history. Nassar was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting at least 265 young women and girls over a 22-year period under the guise of medical treatment. His victims included numerous Olympic gymnasts, with some as young as six-years-old OOP also added that the church was a Non-Denominational church Trigger Warning: pedophilia, victim blaming minors Mood Spoiler: unfortunate Original Post: (February 11th, 2026) I haven't lived with my parents since starting college, and I currently live by myself while working two jobs. I live a little over an hour away, but I come home for the holidays and other occasions, along with the Super Bowl this past Sunday. My parents are very religious, and I have a younger brother who's twelve. I always sleep over whenever I visit, and the only rule is that I must attend church (if staying on a Sunday) because mom doesn't want anyone home when they're not there, and that extended to friends and family since I was young. I was surprised when it extended to me since I grew up in their home, but I'm glad to no longer be forced to attend church every week. My dad always held a Super Bowl party since I was young, and I came up on Saturday to help set up as usual. This situation happened as a result of attending church on Super Bowl Sunday Despite our pastor taking a moment to give his thoughts on the big game before the sermon, the situation came from something else he vented about, and that was the Winter Olympics. Ironically, it wasn't about any of the athletes who made political statements (which was surprising given his history with sharing political opinions). It was about something he and his wife discussed and felt led to share. Long story short, they advised their kids to change the channel if figure skating came on any of the broadcasts, and their reasons were harmful in my opinion. He said that some of the female outfits were "revealing" and not good to watch because it can lead to lust. He also went on about how "the world" finds ways to "normalize telling girls to dress inappropriately". He even said the Summer Olympics did the same thing with the uniforms that the female gymnasts wore... going as far as to call it "normalized p*rn" because their parents would "never allow them to wear a skirt that shows as much" as the uniform outside of the sport setting He also said the uniforms "allowed creeps to watch with lustful intentions and not be questioned" because it was normalized, and he didn't like that possibility when one of his kids used to do gymnastics. He did, however, mention a rule change in recent years that allowed girls to wear shorts over their uniforms during competitions; something he supported and would've required his daughter to wear full-time if she still played. He also said it was unfortunate that the rule change and the female German Olympic team's full-body gymnastics uniforms happened after Larry Nassar's case because "no one wanted to point out the inappropriate uniforms" that he was "forced to be around" because there was an "agenda" to punish him. He also said that many girls were "playing the victim" because society "allowed them to". He even said Nassar "maybe wouldn't have done what he did" if not for the uniforms he was forced to be around, and I personally thought that that shifted blame onto the uniforms instead of his actions. His overarching point, aside from advising parents to consider turning the channel, was to be aware of how the world tries to push their kids to dress inappropriately by normalizing figure skating and gymnastics attire, and I disagreed with much of his message My parents and I discussed it on the drive home, and I mentioned how I thought it was harmful to send that message. My parents disagreed from a purity perspective because they taught purity to us when we turned twelve. I think it's harmful because purity should be a personal choice instead of something instilled by your parents when you're just hitting puberty. I also disagree with how the pastor sexualized both sports and absolved Nassar by blaming the outfits, but they didn't have an issue with it. Heck, a few of the pastor's points received applause (including from my parents), and the whole thing ruined my mood. My mom also plans to inform one of our cousins' parents (whose daughter does gymnastics) about the rule change in case she doesn't know. And while that's fine on its own, I disagree with her motives behind it The message shouldn't be that girls are responsible for the actions of those who sexualize them. They should wear shorts because they want to, not because they think they're doing something wrong by wearing appropriate clothing for the sport. I also felt the pastor was telling on himself and projecting onto the congregation, but my parents didn't see it that way. I helped them clean up for their guests when we returned, but left before the game as some guests began to filter in. My parents were disappointed and said it would've been better if I hadn't come at all, even though I'd helped set up. I'm more concerned with the message they told my brother and how Mom plans to relay it to my cousin. Needless to say, I'll never attend that church again, and I only did whenever I visited, like once a year. Does anyone have any experience with correcting a message from a parent that might be harmful to a younger sibling? Update Post: (February 13th, 2026) My father called me for the first time since we spoke on Sunday at their home, and he had the same tone as his text. He said it was disrespectful of me to leave early when they let me sleep over despite helping them set up. He also said he didn't appreciate having to tell guests why I left early, and he said he made up some excuse. I reiterated my disgust for the sermon and how they supported it. And in hindsight, I should've walked out and waited in the foyer. Granted, I couldn’t drive home because we carpooled, but I'm disappointed that I didn't. However, since the church encourages viewers to share their videos in the descriptions of their YouTube sermons and on social media, I decided to vent my frustration that way using malicious compliance. I left a review of the church that explained why I'll never attend again. I also mentioned how the pastor defended Larry Nassar and left a link to the sermon, along with a timestamp to when his rant began. The link will prove the truth of my review. And if they delete the video, it'll only make it louder (when the link leads to a page that says 'deleted video'). I also made an Instagram story about my disgust for the sermon and left a link to the YouTube sermon there too, and many of my friends have also told me their similar disgust I've lost almost all of my respect for my parents, but that's nothing new unfortunately. I was debating cutting them off when I was in high school, but figured that going to college would provide space that'd help prevent that. I was wrong, but I shouldn't have been surprised. Them finding no issue with the pastor's rant is par for the course of how they still support a certain someone with strong ties to a certain list, and much of my teen years were annoying because of their obsession with that figure. They also loved it when our pastor got political in the past, and that's not what church should be. I return for one sermon simply because of my parents' home rule, and he spins the Winter Olympics into a rant defending Larry Nassar. It's always some new demographic every week with these people, and Sunday was a reminder of why I don't miss church As a result of me not apologizing, Dad said I'm not allowed to come to next year's party, and that's totally fine with me. The other unfortunate part is that Mom talked to my cousin's mom about the sermon, and she agreed with much of it and said her daughter would be required to wear shorts over her uniform going forward because she was unaware that she could. Again, nothing wrong with deciding to wear them. But the message shouldn't be that women are responsible for creeps like my pastor who admitted to being unable to appreciate a sport because his mind is fixated on sex. I don't get why certain Christians like my parents are hyperfixated on it like with purity. My cousin's parents are also Christians, and they agreed with turning the channel from figure skating too. They'll probably do the same with gymnastics in two years, and my church (along with others I've researched) have had females wear t-shirts over their bathing suits at church gatherings with a pool, and I've attended parties with that rule since I was little. That doesn’t stop them from going to the beach where others aren't wearing t-shirts over their bathing suits, but you could go down the hypocrisy rabbit hole forever, and I'm ready to go low-contact. I won't be attending Christmas or Thanksgiving or any other gatherings they have. Granted, it sucks for my younger brother, but I need to worry about my own mental health first ________________ (Comments) (davegammelgard): "What's actually happening is that the pastor is normalizing adult men being creeps and lusting after young girls. This is the way purity culture has worked for hundreds of years - girls are expected to be pure because men can't control themselves. It's not just true in Christianity, but also in Islam, and other cultures. This attitude is harmful to everyone because it reinforces that idea that "boys will be boys" and won't be held accountable, while girls are held responsible for what men do to them. They're "asking for it" if they dress a certain way or behave a certain way. Men need to be taught self control and responsibility. That's the real answer" (Chaoticallyorganized) replied: "This is exactly what it is. No normal man watches figure skating or gymnastics with sexual thoughts towards underage girls. This pastor is unquestionably a disgusting human being and not safe to be around" (exretailer_29): "If you read different sources on Larry Nassar he was sexually molesting all age females from 6-20. So it wasn't all about what some females wore. It was about power and Control and some deep seated evil that drove Larry Nassar. How can a "6-8" year old dress in an inappropriate manner? The onus was always on Larry Nassar. A female could be fully covered up and if someone has evil intentions it doesn't matter what outfit is being worn. It doesn't have to be just Larry Nassar it can be anyone who perceives the victim as being someone they can overpower or take advantage of. Many religious authorities do project their own misguided sexual feelings and I think that is a defence mechanism on their part. The pastor is wrong and I think your parents are too!" submitted by /u/MadisonBrave to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Serious summer question: why haven’t Brissy men adopted ancient Roman fashion yet?
Weekend ahead! Given the humidity + heat combo, why are we still suffering in jeans and office wear when ancient Romans clearly had it figured out with togas and sandals? 😃 If Brissy went full Roman tomorrow, what would your go-to outfit be? Toga? Tunic? Gladiator sandals (Bunnings edition)? Asking for climate adaptation purposes only. 🥵🏛️ submitted by /u/kinder_brz to r/brisbane [link] [comments]

Summer Style advice for a 20 Year Old
I posted for the first time on this sub https://www.reddit.com/r/mensfashion/s/oNgU2hR7mh during the peak of winter, and got a lot of really good feedback. I always prefer winter as I feel more comfortable, in the summer I get very sweaty and end up defaulting to just a black graphic tshirt and athletic shorts that hide sweat. The last few months I have been slowly thrifting things to try and figure out something more stylish that also still fits me and isn’t too hot (less than 90 maybe, after that i’m just not leaving my house haha). I just have no clue how to wear shorts as I’ve always been a skinny guy and didn’t like showing my legs. But in the last year I have put on almost 35lbs, and I get so sweaty in jeans and dickies out in the heat. So any advice on some of the outfits I’ve been trying? I feel like I prefer something a little more grungy but it feels tough to dress like that when it’s so hot. I have no clue how to style/pick out shorts (I zoomed in on the textured shirts cause my camera quality is bad, and the last three are something I would usually wear out). Anything is appreciated! submitted by /u/CalendarTricky81 to r/mensfashion [link] [comments]

What are the best outfits to wear in the summer
I kinda dread summer since it's so hot I feel like it cramps my style. But I was wondering what I could wear that would still be considered stylish?

AITAH for not wanting to change my clothes for a 4th time thus ruining our date night?
I am not OOP. OOP is u/Imaginary_Guide8273 on r/AITAH AITAH for not wanting to change my clothes for a 4th time thus ruining our date night? August 4, 2023 So, my husband (37M - let's call him Mark) and I (34F) have been having a rough few years. We got married in the fall of 2019 after being together for 5 years before then, and of course a few months after that the pandemic hit. I had the misfortune of getting a pretty bad case of Covid near the beginning of the pandemic (was hospitalized for two weeks) which turned into long Covid. I wasn't completely disabled but dealt with a lot of the typical symptoms - extreme fatigue, brain fog, reduced immune system generally resulting in several bad infections, etc. I didn't lose my job but did have to take intermittent FMLA which meant a lot of time without pay, and we racked up $20K in debt between the medical bills not covered by insurance and loss of some of my income. Although I tried to be mindful of my eating, I also gained 45 pounds thanks to being on antidepressants, several rounds of steroid medication, and not being able to exercise. Through all this, Mark was incredibly loving and supportive - he never said a bad word about my weight, lack of energy, or inability to contribute financially at the same level as before. Finally, last summer I started to feel a lot better, and most of the long Covid symptoms subsided. I was able to return to work full-time, and had energy to work out again. In the past year, we have paid off all our debt and rebuilt our emergency fund, and I have lost 35 of the 45 pounds I gained (my doctor says this is a good place for me to end up, I was borderline underweight before and am now on the slimmer side of a normal/healthy weight). Mark and I hadn't been having many date nights since we got married between the pandemic, my illness, and then for the past year working to get our finances in order. However, to celebrate my birthday, we decided to have dinner at an upscale bistro and then go see the Barbie movie (he actually suggested the movie). This was last Saturday - my actual birthday wasn't for a few more days but we wanted to go on the weekend. I was excited to dress up as - most of my clothes had gotten baggy and drab during my illness and weight gain but I was finally feeling comfortable in my own skin again. I decided to go full Barbiecore - pink sleeveless dress (fitted at the top and then flared out) and pink kitten heels with a matching bag. (The money for the outfit came from a birthday check from my mom - she insisted that I spend it on "something fun.") When I put on the outfit, I felt really pretty for the first time in a long time...unfortunately and surprisingly, Mark reacted badly to it. He said I looked "slutty" and "attention-seeking" and essentially accused me of trying to get the attention of other men and that I should cover up more. I protested because...first of all...we were going to a restaurant (table for 2) and a movie theater...when exactly was I going to be interacting socially with other men?! Also, the outfit was quite dramatic and striking but it wasn't revealing...sleeveless dresses are pretty normal date night wear for a hot summer day, and it wasn't low-cut (neckline was at the collarbone), and was on the longer side (calf-length). But I didn't want to argue so I put on a black knit cardigan over the dress. Nope, still no dice for Mark, he said it was still attention-seeking. At this point, I really wanted to get going and not miss our reservation, so I gave up on the dress and changed into fitted jeans and a pastel pink tunic top (not fitted). Nope, said Mark, I still looked like I was trying to attract other men. So I threw on a hoodie over the top but then he said I looked sloppy. I was really exasperated by this point and asked if he just wanted to come to my closet to pick an outfit that was acceptable, and he started yelling that I was too stupid to even understand that I was disrespecting him and that I didn't know how to dress myself. Then he said he was going for a drive and going to the movie without me (the tickets were on his phone). He came home after midnight, said he didn't want to talk and that he was going to sleep in the guest room. He has barely spoken to me since. My actual birthday was a couple days ago and he didn't even acknowledge it. I begged him to please talk to me and tell me what was really going on but he said he was still too angry. So, AITAH for not trying to change my clothes yet again before our date for my birthday? I still don't know what he was really upset about or what sort of outfit would have been acceptable. And no, he's never once tried to make rules about what I could wear or commented at all on my clothes except to tell me that I looked nice or that he liked certain colors on me. This really came out of nowhere as far as I can tell. And again he selected the Barbie movie and planned the date so it's not like I was strong-arming him into plans he didn't want. Comment: If my wife asks me ‘does this look ok?’, it’d have to be awful for me to say no. I can’t imagine telling her she looked slutty! She would figure out I thought that because I’d be grinning and making stupid, suggestive jokes! I’d tell him you will wear what you like and if he doesn’t like it, that’s a him problem. Comment: Something deeper is going on. Time to have a serious discussion about where you guys are in this relationship. No matter how much my wife were fighting… it would be a truce on a birthday. Comment: He created a situation where it would be impossible for you to have left the house with him, stormed out to go see the Barbie movie 'alone', and didn't come home until after midnight and slept in the guest room. He's cheating and seeing you looking fire that evening probably triggered some realizations that he can't continue to have his cake and eat it too. Update: Husband demanded I change clothes multiple times for our date night, then stormed out when I refused after the third time August 12, 2023 (Husband was going to take me to dinner and to see the Barbie movie a couple weeks ago, but demanded I change my Barbiecore pink but otherwise modest dress, went through several more iterations of changes that were still not acceptable and then he stormed out, and after that didn't speak to me for close to a week, saying he was too angry to talk about what I did wrong) As for the update - I did end up going to my mom's place for the weekend last weekend and had a nice girls' weekend with my mom and sister. We did see the movie on Saturday (got to wear my original planned outfit - yay!!!), and then got brunch and had a fun salon outing on Sunday. Late afternoon Sunday I texted Mark (my husband) to say I was coming home in a couple hours, and that I hoped he would be ready to talk then - that I would gladly hear him out regarding anything that had been upsetting him, but I really couldn't take the silent treatment anymore as it had been over a week by then. He just texted back "Ok." We did talk after I got home, and...boy, it was a doozy. It turns out Mark has had building resentment for years, since I first got sick with Covid nearly 3 1/2 years ago now. Not so much in the first few months, but when it was clear my illness had turned into long Covid and an ongoing disability, he started to feel very put-upon due to my not being able to generate as much income, not being able to do my share of the housework and cooking, etc. He put up a good front because he knew it wouldn't be fair to take it out on me, especially when he could see I was doing my best to get better and to do what I could on my better days, but ultimately he got very burned out. And then after a year or so...started seeking outlets, as in other women. He said at first it was just basically anonymous online sexting because the pandemic was still raging, but by early last year he had formed an online emotional connection with someone in the area, whom he eventually met in person for a physical affair, someone he is in love with now and still seeing. He said he has been trying to figure out what to do, especially as I have been getting better over the past year, lost most of the weight I gained, got back to fulfilling all my responsibilities at work and home, etc., but when I walked out in my Barbiecore dress, expecting to have a romantic birthday date, he just...couldn't do it. He couldn't go out and pretend to love me and be celebratory when he wanted to be with someone else. So he picked a fight, one I couldn't win. And then yes, when he walked out he did take his AP to dinner and the movie instead. The thing is...I do understand him seeking some kind of an outlet. I was sick for years, and between physical ailments and brain fog I wasn't able to participate consistently in the marriage on any level, not as an equal partner. We'd only been married a few months when I got sick so it's not even like we had a lot of shared history to fall back on. I'm sure he must have felt exhausted, stressed, and lonely, especially as it wasn't certain I would be able to recover at all. I asked if he would consider marriage counseling and recommitting to our marriage, but he said sadly that his "heart had moved on." He did say he was so sorry, that he never meant to fall in love with someone else and was just trying to be less lonely, and that I didn't deserve this, that I especially didn't deserve the way he treated me a couple weeks ago. So, I guess divorce it is. I don't expect it will be very dramatic, we've been talking a lot over the past week (no more silent treatment) to figure out how to divide stuff and to try to make things cordial. In the end, I don't even think he is an AH. Maybe for the way he acted surrounding my birthday, but overall I think he is just a human being who eventually broke down from stress and loneliness. I do wish him well and am also grateful that at least I am healthy again for whatever life has next in store for me. Comment: Your husband is an asshole and has no idea what marriage is actually about. I suffered a major injury 6 months after my wedding that required several surgeries and a long recovery. My husband had to do everything because I couldn’t even walk and was on heavy pain medication for almost a year. I mean, he had to help me shower, help me with personal care, things you do not expect to have to do as as newlyweds. I would cry and apologize to him and he would tell me I was ridiculous and this was the “in sickness or in health” part of our marriage and this was what he signed up for. We had kids after a long period of infertility and I eventually developed chronic conditions that leave me in pain, with brain fog, severe fatigue, and a lot of anxiety and depression. I even broke down at one point and told him this wasn’t fair to him, that he should be able to be with someone that wasn’t broken forever (I even threw out that I wouldn’t hold it against him if he wanted to take on a mistress even though it would absolutely kill me). That man sat me down and told me that this is what marriage is. We take care of each other at our worst and at our best. We’re partners and friends and he would choose me and our life with all of its ups and downs a million times if it meant he could be with me. That is what marriage is. Your husband gave up when shit got hard and I’m sorry but LIFE is hard. When you get married, it should be to the person you want to do the good and the bad with. Do not give your husband a pass because life got hard for a while. ETA: First, thank you for the awards. I really didn’t expect this to get this crazy and the notifications are a little overwhelming. I’ve seen several comments that my marriage seems unbalanced and in one case, that I’m a “taker” and my husband will probably off himself when he can’t meet my standards. First, please consider being kind to people you don’t know because you have no idea what they have going on. Kindness costs you nothing. Second, this was literally two paragraphs about specific topics I thought the OP needed to hear so she didn’t excuse the way her husband treated her. I’ve been married for almost 20 years and it would take pages and pages for me to go through all the things my husband and I have dealt with over the years. I am functional and an active parent and partner in our home. He worked, I took care of our kids including a special needs child and took care of the house, cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. Of course we argue and disagree, but we made a pact when we got married to never go to bed angry and we sit down and hash shit out. When he lost his beloved grandma within weeks of me miscarrying our first child, I asked him what he needed from me and gave him everything he asked for. When he lost his mom to COVID and couldn’t be with her when she passed, I took over everything because I could see him falling apart at the idea of having to tell everyone and arrange everything. I build him up every time he struggles with imposter syndrome with his job because the man is brilliant and has no idea. Our marriage isn’t a scorecard that we keep tally of who’s doing more. I showed my husband this post and he actually agreed with the person that said a husband doing what he has is setting the bar low because to him, that’s just what marriage is. I’m his to take care of and he’s mine. OOP: Thank you for sharing your story...I am so sorry to hear about your injury and chronic health conditions. But it sounds like you have a magnificent man there. I hope there is someone out there who can love me that much And you're right, anyone who doesn't isn't worthy of being my spouse. The fact that he took HIS MISTRESS ON YOUR DATE would send me over the edge. what a complete and total lack of respect- not even counting all the rest he did, including cheating while you were ill. SMDH I am so sorry OP. I agree with introverted_panda. I suffered a series of health issues over the last 9 years and my husband never once looked to other women because I was sick or disable to the point of being able to do nothing. (Post concussion syndrome, cancer twice, chemo, heart attack) I hope you can find the love you deserve. Another Comment: So in sickness and in health truly meant fucking nothing to him? Vows meant nothing? You got Covid and it fucked you up for a while and he decided best thing to do was to cheat. What a fucking prick. What would he have done if you got cancer? Or some other illness? Is he only happy to stick around with someone if they are 100% healthy all the time? Thank god you never had kids. I’m sorry you’re going through this but fuck that guy. OOP: Yeah, I do see that now that he was not a good person to share my life with. It would have been far worse to share decades together only to have him cheat/leave if I got cancer or just declined due to age. It hurts a lot right now but I do think I dodged a bullet. And as I said above I'm grateful that I'm physically healthy now, plus we paid off all our debt and built up savings over the past year so I'm starting out my single life in a pretty good place all things considered. He took his AP to movie and dinner that you should have been the one going on, after he picked a fight with you and made you feel bad about yourself. Sorry but he has no redeeming qualities. Oh boohoo, he was lonely, while you were checks notes fighting for your life. Your ex ain’t shit. *Editor's Note: is hard to tell if OOP will post again, but the story doesn't seem like it's over, so I marked it ongoing. Let me know if you think differently. Reminder: I am not OOP. Do not go to the original posts and comment on them. submitted by /u/swtogirl to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

AITAH for not wanting to change my clothes for a 4th time (thus ruining our date night)?
So, my husband (37M - let's call him Mark) and I (34F) have been having a rough few years. We got married in the fall of 2019 after being together for 5 years before then, and of course a few months after that the pandemic hit. I had the misfortune of getting a pretty bad case of Covid near the beginning of the pandemic (was hospitalized for two weeks) which turned into long Covid. I wasn't completely disabled but dealt with a lot of the typical symptoms - extreme fatigue, brain fog, reduced immune system generally resulting in several bad infections, etc. I didn't lose my job but did have to take intermittent FMLA which meant a lot of time without pay, and we racked up $20K in debt between the medical bills not covered by insurance and loss of some of my income. Although I tried to be mindful of my eating, I also gained 45 pounds thanks to being on antidepressants, several rounds of steroid medication, and not being able to exercise. Through all this, Mark was incredibly loving and supportive - he never said a bad word about my weight, lack of energy, or inability to contribute financially at the same level as before. Finally, last summer I started to feel a lot better, and most of the long Covid symptoms subsided. I was able to return to work full-time, and had energy to work out again. In the past year, we have paid off all our debt and rebuilt our emergency fund, and I have lost 35 of the 45 pounds I gained (my doctor says this is a good place for me to end up, I was borderline underweight before and am now on the slimmer side of a normal/healthy weight). Mark and I hadn't been having many date nights since we got married between the pandemic, my illness, and then for the past year working to get our finances in order. However, to celebrate my birthday, we decided to have dinner at an upscale bistro and then go see the Barbie movie (he actually suggested the movie). This was last Saturday - my actual birthday wasn't for a few more days but we wanted to go on the weekend. I was excited to dress up as - most of my clothes had gotten baggy and drab during my illness and weight gain but I was finally feeling comfortable in my own skin again. I decided to go full Barbiecore - pink sleeveless dress (fitted at the top and then flared out) and pink kitten heels with a matching bag. (The money for the outfit came from a birthday check from my mom - she insisted that I spend it on "something fun.") When I put on the outfit, I felt really pretty for the first time in a long time...unfortunately and surprisingly, Mark reacted badly to it. He said I looked "slutty" and "attention-seeking" and essentially accused me of trying to get the attention of other men and that I should cover up more. I protested because...first of all...we were going to a restaurant (table for 2) and a movie theater...when exactly was I going to be interacting socially with other men?! Also, the outfit was quite dramatic and striking but it wasn't revealing...sleeveless dresses are pretty normal date night wear for a hot summer day, and it wasn't low-cut (neckline was at the collarbone), and was on the longer side (calf-length). But I didn't want to argue so I put on a black knit cardigan over the dress. Nope, still no dice for Mark, he said it was still attention-seeking. At this point, I really wanted to get going and not miss our reservation, so I gave up on the dress and changed into fitted jeans and a pastel pink tunic top (not fitted). Nope, said Mark, I still looked like I was trying to attract other men. So I threw on a hoodie over the top but then he said I looked sloppy. I was really exasperated by this point and asked if he just wanted to come to my closet to pick an outfit that was acceptable, and he started yelling that I was too stupid to even understand that I was disrespecting him and that I didn't know how to dress myself. Then he said he was going for a drive and going to the movie without me (the tickets were on his phone). He came home after midnight, said he didn't want to talk and that he was going to sleep in the guest room. He has barely spoken to me since. My actual birthday was a couple days ago and he didn't even acknowledge it. I begged him to please talk to me and tell me what was really going on but he said he was still too angry. So, AITAH for not trying to change my clothes yet again before our date for my birthday? I still don't know what he was really upset about or what sort of outfit would have been acceptable. And no, he's never once tried to make rules about what I could wear or commented at all on my clothes except to tell me that I looked nice or that he liked certain colors on me. This really came out of nowhere as far as I can tell. And again he selected the Barbie movie and planned the date so it's not like I was strong-arming him into plans he didn't want. submitted by /u/Imaginary_Guide8273 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

Wearing a summer outfit cause for once it’s fucking boiling only to either get cat-called by a some pub dude who’s probs in his fifties, has a beer belly with his football team’s top on or by some teens who probably hasn’t even done their homework yet.
Apparently jeans shorts that’s at least halfway down my thighs and a tank top that isn’t exactly even fitted is all it takes. Ffs it’s just some skin, get over yourself. submitted by /u/JessicaJessieJessJ to r/britishproblems [link] [comments]

What should men wear on dates - Summer 2020
For those of us who live in the northern hemisphere, summer is quickly approaching. This means hotter temperatures and a need to switch from winter clothes to summer clothes. I was going through my wardrobe recently and am pretty unhappy with the options I have for summer dates, when in comparison I have a lot of great outfits for winter dating. If I was to go on a date to someplace like a bar, brewery, or coffeeshop, I would probably go with jeans and a solid color T-shirt, which seems fine, but a little plain I really haven't updated my summer wardrobe in a couple years, so I am looking for suggestions of what I may be missing and might want to invest in. For the Men of DOT, what do you typically wear on early dates when the temperatures are warm / hot? For the Women of DOT, what do you like to see men wearing on dates when the temperatures are warm / hot? submitted by /u/PuzzleheadedRun2776 to r/datingoverthirty [link] [comments]

"Is your husband inside? Do you want me to change my clothes?"
Edit: A) sorry for the typos... I'm on mobile and didn't catch all of the spelling errors. B) several people have suggested that she may have been asking out of respect for me (so as not to make me jealous, uncomfortable, etc) rather than concern for my husband. It's possible. That didn't initially cross my mind, as it's not something I've ever personally cared about, but is possible that her mind was focusing more on me than on my husband. If that is the case, I'm flattered that she was being considerate towards me... However, that still breaks my heart, a little bit... No matter her reasons, her clothing shouldn't have been a worry to her. She shouldn't have to worry that a man is going to objectify her OR that a woman is going to assume her motives are nefarious, based off of her clothes. Her clothing shouldn't have been a concern, in the 1st place. C) to everyone who's shared their own experiences with pervy and/or jealous people critiquing their fashion, I'm sorry you've dealt with that. You certainly didn't deserve it. ----------------------------‐----------------------------------------------------- So, this happened a bit ago, but has been on my mind for a while now... Over the last few years, I've become really close with a coworker. She's awesome. A chosen sister. A kindred spirit. I genuinely love hanging out with her. Anyway, the 1st time I invited her over, we just planned to have some coffee and relax. She texted me when she parked, and I went out to get her (the complex that I lived in was huge and kind of confusing if you weren't familiar with the area). She was standing at her car, and was wearing a really cute summer outfit. A pair of loose and flowey pants, and a belly shirt that showed a bit of her midriff... It was 116 ゚F outside, and I didn't think twice about her clothes. As she locked the car, she asked if my husband was inside. After I said yes, she asked "Do you want me to change my clothes?" I was completely taken aback... "What?! No. Why? Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable." She seemed relieved. Now... My husband isn't the type to ogle at women. Nor is he the type that would make inappropriate comments... But, even if he was that type, it would be entirely on him. Not her. If he acted that way, I'd be pissed at him. Not at her. It broke my heart, a little bit, that she even felt the need to ask that, in the 1st place... I don't know if anyone here needs to hear this, but if you do, I want to tell you what I told her: You are not responsible for the things that other people say and do. Regardless of the clothes that you're wearing. It is 110% okay to dress comfortably while simultaneously expecting respect. The clothes that you wear do not change the personalities around you. If someone sees your clothing as an excuse to be awful towards you, it is because they are awful people, NOT because of what you're wearing! Never let anyone tell you otherwise. submitted by /u/TeaHC16 to r/TwoXChromosomes [link] [comments]
