I honestly don't understand this shit. I mean the whole "soy boy" meme is retarded on its face, but even pretending that it's not, what the fuck is "soy boy" about wearing outdoor clothing brands? Most of the people who wear those actually spend time outdoors. Did hiking become effeminate at some point and I didn't notice?

Yeah, yeah, I know, "t. soy boy", don't bother, it's boring. I'll lay my cards right on the table, I wear about 3 of those and I'm not about to stop. But I'd genuinely like somebody to explain /fa/'s weird hate-boner for TNF and Patagonia and so on. That wide-open-mouth-in-every-picture meme I get cause bizarrely enough it's actually true, but this one I just don't get

>>12976342
This video should explain how outdoors and soy connect. Watch "How to Brew Coffee in an AeroPress" on YouTube

>>12976342
I've definitely noticed a recent spike in male art hoes/fashionable sk8r bois rocking patagonia and the like. I don't think this is the type of person people mean when they refer to "soy boys," but these definitely aren't the traditional, target demographic for the brand.

The only other group i know who go hard on the outdoorsy brands are like, upper middle class, npr doner types in their 30s+. I think for these people it's more about... Displaying wealth in a non-ostentatious manner. Repping Arcteryx or North Face is a pretty safe way to show the world you have money and maybe craft a bit of an identity for yourself without committing to more youth or luxury oriented brands.

I'm guessing the education level and relatively effeminate disposition associated with that later demographic is what lumps those brands in with the BETA KEK SOYBOY BUGMAN etc meme. In all fairness, the few actually outdoorsy people I know dress however they dress normally, and just wear shitty clothes they don't care about fucking up when they go on a hike or camping or whatever. There is something a bit, uh, performative, or try hardy about wearing heavily branded outdoorsy clothing when you're running errands around town, but that's just me.

>>12976376
Well I am actually a homosexual but I sure don't want to look like one haha

>>12976350
What an overly complicated way of making coffee.

>>12976350
This is retarded. Wouldn't all the coffee drip into the cup.

>>12976382
> when you are actually /out/ but the only quality made items/good warranty are the brands that pander to the upper class

It's a literal rough road.

>>12976382
>There is something a bit, uh, performative, or try hardy about wearing heavily branded outdoorsy clothing when you're running errands around town, but that's just me.
I don't know. Regardless of fashion, they're decent jackets/backpacks/etc, and not THAT pricey considering they last forever. When I see people wearing TNF jackets - who are 99% of the time just regular-looking folks of both sexes, not beta numale soy boy cucks (to my highly-trained cuck-spotting eye, anyway) - I get the impression that it's because, unlike most of the people on /fa/, it's because they just own one decent jacket instead of 6 different ones that they rotate out depending on whether they're rocking lunarcore or safaricore or streetwear or (sin(i*1)^n/i=cos(i-1)-core on that particular Tuesday.

When I think of people who casually wear outdoorsy shit I don't really think of people decked head-to-toe in ostentatious "I'm a HIKER!" regalia. I think of my college girlfriend, who'd shrug on her black North Face jacket whenever it got chilly because it was the only jacket on hand and she really didn't give two shits about fashion.

I'm honestly not offended by it, it just seems like a stupid meme to me.

>>12976402
I would never in a million years do it, but I have to say that anybody who put that much effort into his coffee while camping would be my fucking hero, provided he was willing to share.

>>12976415
>>12976415
Well made good warranty. Hmm doesn't sound cheap. Kys idiot.

>>12976417
Camping is gay

>>12976418
Yes I know those attribute warrant a steep price. However, steep prices mean a more well off clientele. Are you not seeing the connection of how I realize I put off the shitty yuppie look but only because I don't mind waiting/working for quality items?

>>12976420
Is there anything more soy than camping. I can't think of anything.

Is Louis Cachet a soy boy?

This only proves that the soyboy meme is perpetuated by shutin NEETs to who jealously tack it on to things they pretend not to like.

>>12976342
most hiking is gay. it's an instagram/facebook moment for millenial girls who want to be "one with nature" and the soyboys who chase them. it's literally paying for walking in state parks and being an extra careful faggot not to disturb anything, lest you you lose your environmental street cred cus you moved a fallen log off a path. It's all about being a "guest" in nature and then going back to your stupid city life because you admit you're not worthy of leaving your mark on the wilderness.

Go outdoors to hunt, or build a cabin, or climb a mountain, or tame the land in some other way. Hiking is indeed effeminate.

>>12977412
How retarded can you be? Balding happens because you are genetically predisposed to it, nothing more, nothing less. Your scalp is extra sensitive to DHT simply because it's written in your genetic code. That's it.

Fucking idiot.

>>12977412
totally false. balding is actually associated with higher test, although its becoming more common because the genes are often autosomal dominant. take exogenous test and watch your hair loss accelerate.

balding is NOT bad in and of itself, it is a sign of manhood. Balding is a sign of maturity, strength, and status in men, and it used to be a non-issue or even be attractive. Women used to (and still do in the right male) view balding men as silverback gorillas, leaders in their social stratus. It doesn't hurt that balding is associated with high test and especially in older generations there was a wives tale that balding men were more virile.

The problem with balding now is that the average nu-male has achieved none of the status by the time he starts balding as he would have in previous times. He is still a student, still on his parents' insurance til his 30s. is insecure, out of shape, and dresses and acts like a teenager or college undergrad, wearing hoodies and going to bars, insecurely hanging on to his youth. He is, inside and out, a boy, and boys look ridiculous balding, unlike men.

>>12977179
That's all hipster/cuck/numale/soyboy ever were

Hipster went from a lampooning of a Brooklyn subculture to "anyone who dresses somewhat more fashionably than the average person is a hipster."

Cuck went from someone raising a child their wife made with another man to "This girl opted to date a Chad instead of me, a Pizza the Hutt, WOE IS MOI, I HAVE BEEN KEKED"

>>12978534

Haven’t keked this hard in a long time.

Read this book written by a gay man. It's quite short an entertaining enough.
It will explain to you why you are being called a cuck or a soyboy.

If you look unsettling or scary like me, numale style is good.

>If you look unsettling or scary like me, numale style is good.
>I hate being told I look like a serial killer or a hitman.

It's funny that you say this because this is part of the essence of numale.
Young men get it into their heads that looking and being dangerous is bad and scary so they should aim to look and be harmless.
But you are actually going about it the wrong way!
See, who gets called creepy? Picture that guy. He's probably an autistic weedy guy that doesn't even talk to girls, right?
That guy is actually one of the physically weakest and least aggressive people around, right?
Now think about guys that are physically strong and look powerful and are aggressive. (I don't mean malicious or mean, just guys that assert themselves.)
Those are the most dangerous men, why aren't they considered the most creepy "serial killer" guys?
I put it to you that if you want to seem less creepy this is what you need to do:
*Become stronger and look stronger.
*Get enough of a tan that you look like you go outside.
*Smile more and be more social.


DO NOT try to look like a numale, it will not make you less creepy.

Hi Nick Jonas.

>>12976434
You're right. I noticed this board has a different idea of soy than almost anywhere else. Op was fairly accurate, soy is basically just a synonym for nu-male. Then its "camping is soy bc its something I don't like"

>daily reminder soy boys are getting laid more than you shut in neets

Look, I'll tell you a secret. Most of the guys on 4chan are probably physically soyboys.
Here's the important thing, though. And somehow this part got lost on you. Being a soyboy is not something to which you should aspire.
There are things wrong with men today both in their body and their brain. There's multiple explanations for what happened. BPA in plastics, hormones in food, hormones in water, sedentary lifestyles, the results of too high body fat, soft food etc.
The physical results are a peculiar kind of ugliness, it's important that I point out it doesn't mean you're a qt andro twink. It doesn't mean that at all!
Thing bad posture, low cheekbones, shitty jawlines and teeth, patchy beards, sallow skin, skinnyfat.
The mental results are that you are lazy, unassertive, shallow, that your thoughts and behaviour often seem like you are aping the the thoughts and behaviour of women. Again, it doesn't mean anything positive here. It's not that you're taking on the qualities of a strong mother, more like you're taking on the negative qualities of a bimbo.

These guys using the term soyboy have realized something awful has happened to them and/or a lot of young men today. They want to fix their thoughts and behaviour and fix their bodies to the extent that is possible.
They also want you to fix yours.

>>12981551
It fucking hurts man ;_;

>>12981590
>t. soy boy

>>12981551
>They want to fix their thoughts and behaviour and fix their bodies to the extent that is possible.

So it that why they're lashing out at things they don't like instead of actually trying to fix themselves?


Screaming "THING I DON'T LIKE XYZ IS SOYBOY ECKSDEE" isn't gonna fix shit, you obese, pizza-roll addicted shutin fuckwits.

>>12981605
It's both. Bullying is actually a deep-seated and useful behaviour. Imagine we're all "cavemen" meaning imagine we are like humans have been for most of their time as a species.
We're in a tight spot, we're one solid disaster away from our tribe being wiped out, right? Another tribe might come in and kill all our men and take all our women or who knows what else.
I'm walking around with my club, scratching my nuts and thinking about taking some men to go hunting for a mammoth because we are hungry.

I look over and I see Soy Ugh. Soy Ugh doesn't like to eat meat or hunt, he spends his days sitting around talking to the women and I think he tries to fuck Ook's wife when Ook isn't around. Soy Ugh is undermuscled and he can't even run very fast or very far, he is basically a useless eater.
So I bully Soy Ugh, I'm not just doing it to be mean. It is a challenge.
I want Soy Ugh to shape up. The tribe needs him get strong, get fast and make a club so he can hunt and he can fight.
>we're not cavemen, dumbass
We were for long enough that it's in our genes to think like one sometimes.

i wish mods would ban faggots like OP

>>12981620

Soy ugh sounds like a sexy little cavetwink. wanna rp ?? I'll be soy ugh and u can be big strong cavemuscle. " no cave bully big caveman, how bout we rub our 'clubs' together and succ nut??" (; O:

>>12981620
Yeah, no, that's not how this works.

You, Soy Ugh, is screaming at Ookuhbookuh because you think his jaguarskin leotard is "soy".

Ookuhbookuh ignores you, because you're a fat lazy hedonist who hasn't moved from his rock in a day-and-a-half.

You really seem to be taking this in an "irrational, hurt feelings" sort of way which is suggestive of a feminine manner.
Some guys may be ragging on your jaguarskin but you're not that special, you're probably one of a hundred dudes they've seen wearing a jaguarskin and all of those guys were effeminate wankers. That means it's fair to assume you are one too until you prove otherwise, it is what it is.
It's okay for Johnny Depp to wear fedoras but guys like you and me would draw negative attention. It is what it is.

>>12978298
The whole hashtag get outside thing is a pretty shitty meme, but calling proper stewardship of natural spaces effeminate (whether or hiking or doing anything else) fails to account for the long history of manly fucking guys who advocated the same thing.

I think at some level soyboy functions as shorthand for all the trends r/mfa picked up from the menswear heyday, and since /fa/ is always trying to position itself in opposition to what it thinks r/mfa is doing (the same fucking things /fa/ does, incidentally), it threw watches out.

Admittedly, /fa/ still has daily watch threads, so all this soyboy talk seems pretty isolated to a few shitposters.

>>12982102
I think most people grow beards because if you can grow a decent one why the fuck wouldn't you? Shaving is a pain in the ass.
