shave

>>12737010
yo same I've looked the same since 2008 and now everyone looks like a subtle variation of myself. Ditch glasses for contacts and keep the beard sharp, and NEVER TALK ABOUT AN IPA OR BRUNCH SPOT AGAIN

>>12737010
Don't wear gay hats, no tattoos on arms, absolutely no glasses, and don't be a liberal white knight. Also, wear plaid sparingly

No fedoras
No hipster beard
No glasses
No cringe tattoos (pop culture/DEEP shit)
No vaping

Be fit
Be effay

That is all.

>>12737014
IPA's are great you shut your whore mouth.

>>12737010
shave, no glasses, no flannell shirts, no neckbeard, no woodchopper look, no tattoos, no piercings.

>>12737120
mostly this
tattoos are fine everyone has em these days but never do pop culture

>>12737141
vaping is pretty much a chad/bro thing

>no hats unless casual af
>thinner/rounder frames or contacts

>>12737010
Avoid the unholy trinity glasses/beard/balding combo.

>>12737153
>vaping is pretty much a chad/bro thing
I only ever see m'lady and trailer trash people vape.

how numale is flannel be honest with me

Don't go to /fa/

>>12737850
depends on the flannel. nu-males often wear white-based flannels with cool colours like blues or yellows. flannels with a black or dark greay base with dark red, brown, burgundy stripes are very acceptable.obviously don't wear them 'neatly' or over/undersize. the whole point of a good flannel is to be comfy and blend in without being wholly uninteresting.

>>12737010
one thing that makes me hat nu-males is their anachronistic dress sense that completely lacks patina. notice, the only people who can look normal wearing a proper hat (wide brim fedora, felt hats etc) usually have it distressed or it is genuinely old. nu-males see a hat in a shop or on the internet and are like 'ok that one' and it always ends up looking forced. it's not exactly forced of course, theyre just oo stupid to realise how stupid they look.

>>12737928
and jeans. buying a pair of levi's and then trying to keep them in good condition. thats not what levis are for oh my god I hate nu-males my town is slowly drowning in these idiots and their vape shop tatto parlour hybrids

>>12737928
I disagree about hats and "patina."
Fedoras aren't (generally) made of denim or leather, they're made of felt.
I think the biggest thing that makes them fail is matching shape of hat to shape of face.

>>12737010
avoid the classic nu-male eyebrow raise for pictures. It doesn't look quirky and unique and signal your special individuality, it makes you look like a limp dicked faggot who's uncomfortable having his picture taken

>>12737010
Shave beard, get in shape, don't listen to style tips from /fa/, except for this.

>>12737184
>glasses/beard/balding
>have black glasses, trimmed beard, short hair that's starting to thin
>avoid all other stereotypes

how fucked am I?

>>12737850
Depends on the flannel like >>12737911 said but also the fit

>>12737120
>no glasses

guess I won't see then

>>12737153
What kind of "chads" do you see vaping, I'm on a collegeball team and not a single one partakes.

I only see teens wearing skater punk fashion,ayyyye weeeed lmao young 20s , dudes wearing Hollister shit or nu -males smoking a vape.

The athletes I hang with smoke weed on occasion, that's it. This was true through high school too.

>>12737928
Fedoras are cringy no matter what, perma-virgin

>>12738613
Yeah. I think vaping is more of a generational thing. The 25 and unders vape more than they cig, and 25 and ups vape mainly to try and quit smoking.

>>12737928
Hats wouldn't look "forced" to you if you were used to seeing them on everybody. Look at newsreels from the 1930s. Do the hats mostly look "forced"? Most men wore a basic fedora in all states of dress, and all walks of life. Wearing a fedora was as natural as carrying a wallet.

>>12739131
From a newreel about a strike. This was a typical bunch of manual laborers. Nothing pretentious about any of them. Do they look "forced" to you?

>>12739184
Woah.......... reallly........ proving a point......... here........

>>12739188
Do I sense a bit of sarcasm here, as if the picture proves a point about "patina"?

I could have posted a bunch of businessmen with much cleaner hats, and the point would still be that people who spend time outdoors have reason to wear certain kinds of hats.

Fedoras and similar things went out of fashion when people started driving more and walking less (and were unaware of the cancer causing effects of sun).

Anyone who walks still has reason to wear such a thing. Enjoy your skin cancer with the basebal caps.

>>12738605
Only wear them when necessary for driving or reading from a distance. Get to know people's silhouettes and specific details that are visible from a distance

And remember, this is the fault of the leftists. You wouldn't have to do this if liberals weren't such memes

>>12739738
If you're the type of person who stops wearing prescription glasses he actually needs and walks around half blind, simply out of fear of being mistaken as a nu-male, you're a faggot of such legendary proportions that even the term "nu-male" is too masculine to describe your candy ass. You can hide behind your redpilled persona all you want but no one needs glasses to see that this is the epitome of insecurity. Imagine being this cucked by imaginary liberals that you actually handicap yourself.

FFS if you need them to see properly, just put them on your dumb face and let people think whatever they want.

>>12737010
>>12737010
you can still wear glasses, anon (assuming you need them); just steer away from the obnoxious, thick rimmed meme frames that the nu males wear
idk maybe something like pic related

>>12739783
>A thread about how to avoid looking like a nu-male

>just b urself

>>12740476
nu-male is a phenomenon that goes way beyond looks, and by not wearing glasses you actually need to see, you're in fact increasing how much of a nu-male you are by being an image obsessed, insecure little shit. No self-respecting man would voluntarily go through life seeing everything blurry just because some other asshole with a curly moustache "ruined glasses".

>>12737010
>see numales
>don't look like them
there you go

>>12739783
>>12740492
You can get glasses that aren't nu male glasses. Not everyone who wears glasses is a soyboy, but almost all soybois wear glasses.

>>12737014
you got it backwards. you ditch the beard, keep the glasses

>>12740559
So...what glasses are nu-male?

>>12741184
Viking here. The candy ass /pol/ imports don't distinguish. They consider all beards nu-male.

>>12737010
Avoid consuming anything that contains estrogen or xenoestrogen type compounds. A big part of what makes a numale is the subtle feminine features that stand in contrast with the beard. If you have excess estrogen turning you into a bitch, masculine attributes will just make the feminine ones stand out that much more. A beard is fine as long as your hormones are in proper balance.

>>12737844
>>12738613
In my city I see two types of people vaping. There are young chads who hang out at specific bars and are always vaping outside on the sidewalk. Then there are the dweeby mallcore neckbeards who hang out near vape shops or maybe gamestop.

>>12739816
wire frames are the new hipster glasses

>>12742938
i assume the soft feature is the main reason for it?

>>12737184
Umm...so you just nailed my nautral asthetic. Worn glasses since I was 6, have had a beard in some way or form since I was 17, and since I started to badly recede I've been doing the Bruce Willis and shaving that shit to stubble. Right now wear Oakley Marshal frames and my beard starts at the glasses line and is about 4 inches off my chin. What's wrong with this look, exactly?

>>12737010
dont you mean how to avoid looking like a cuck?

>>12737141
>Wearing any glasses at all makes you a hipster

>>12738186

>>12738605
Wear contacts.

>>12737010

Fuck is a nu-male?

>>12742938
So many times this. There is nothing I hate more than when bearded numales talk about what "real men" do. The massive irony of it is that these 6'2 bearded lumbering fatties are massive pussies. They are usually cowardly, very sensitive, and are generally not threatening. Then they write posts about how they cry at the movies or are scared of spiders despite being burly bearded men like its supposed to be surprising. They are huge fags (not in the gay sense) who think they are big and scary.

Glasses are unforgivable, regardless of the frame. Get contacts if you really need them.
Some people can pull off facial hair. If you use /fa/ you aren't one of them. Stay clean shaven at all times.

>>12737844

>>12746406
Fuck that, I'd rather be labeled a nu-male than replace glasses with contacts. Nothing beats the convenience and comfort of my glasses and I'm too shortsighted to go without corrective lenses.

>>12743111
Its slightly more acceptable because you shave your head, but if your frames are the thick rimmed kind then you look like a twat.

>>12744849
Nah, I'm bisexual, and that poster is still a faggot

>>12737010
I hate that eyebrow raise bullshit so much.

>>12746406
You sound like some really bitter faggot that got bullied for wearing glasses as a kid.

C'mon dudes this isn't that difficult.

1) find a full body pic of the a typical nu-male
2) write out a list of everything about him, clothes, accessories, hair style, piercings, everything
3) embody the exact opposite of these things
4) ????
5) good pure conservative gf!!

>>12747008

The nu-male is an attitude, not a look. The beard, glasses, etc. are just some commonly recurring traits, but as long as you don't act like an estrogenized holier-than-thou loser to an extent it shows on your face you should be fine.

>>12747008
>>12747011

These killed me. Anymore?

>>12737010
Shaved head,
Doc Martens,
cargo pants,
black jacket.

Basically any of these features, even when combined, can be worn or espoused by a normal person.

What makes someone a nu-male is the fact that they're a pompous, hipster pussy.

>>12747919
Oh I wouldn't be getting the same design. Been looking at a few on warby parker but a lot of their stuff looks douchey as hell. Any tortoise shell suggestions?

I think its more of a facial characteristic thing than anything else listed here. Even without any of these other things compounding the problem for numales there are just some people whose physiognomy is inherently beta and nothing can really be done about it. Obviously you can avoid wearing marvel graphic tees, hipster glasses and lose weight/get fit, but some people just naturally look like the archetypal redditor numale, and its all in the face. It has to do with the jaw, ratios, canthal tilt etc.

Tight clothing has been the worst fashion trend, ever. It's like the mark of the hipsters and numales.

>>12737010
if you're skinny, gain some weight and lift some weights. I don't think anyone thinks poorly of a guy who looks like he lifts, even if he's balding, wears glasses and has a beard.

>>12751635
Is that why /fa/ has worn the tightest clothing possible for almost a decade?

>>12738605

only nu males care about looking like nu males

I swear its in the eyes. I don't know what it is but I can see dudes dressed like a nu-male or have a beard going and thick rimmed glasses but they still don't give off the nu-male vibe.

It's the face/eyes I think, nu-males all have a permanent shit eating grin or condescending look to them and the eyes of a child.

>>12743111
>umm...so
nu-male detected

>>12753885
This. As many others have stated, nu-male is an intrinsic personality type. Style choices are simply a symptom of the weak, conforming nature of a nu-male. In theory, a nu-male could avoid looking like one if they eschewed that style but it wouldn't make any difference to the way they acted.

Arguably, you could say someone like Tom Hardy often displays the aesthetics of a nu-male (beard, hipster glasses, tight clothing) but he obviously isn't one and you can tell by the way he acts. Nu-males copy people like Hardy because they see an actual man and try to emulate that, so it seems that if you want to avoid being a nu-male, just try to be your own man and whatever that entails.
