What is the male equivalent of the post that every woman sees over and over on TikTok, which is an impossibly beautiful girl wearing an ugly piece of clothing they swear will look great on everyone. Like is it tools? Workout stuff?

It's a big piece of ice, that the guy throws onto the concrete and it breaks into a million little pieces. No real man can find such a firm, yet skinny, piece of ice naturally. It's all fantasy. And I am in torment.
I'd think blue chew or whatever. Every ad seems to imply to the old boomer that the only thing standing between him and that impossibly attractive beautiful girl wearing outdated styles is an underperforming penis that a pill will cure.
hi, trans girl here so i’ve experienced both: used to have an unbelievable amount of sports betting ads and definitely some workout stuff as well. i def prefer the pretty girl in ugly dress ones to the infinite DraftKings bs lol
There's a lot of woodworking/toolsy projects that are made to look simple, but in reality, you need $15,000 in tools and more skill than 99 percent of men have.
It's a super handsome guy wearing a really cool jacket or some joggers that when you get them they don't fit you properly because you're either too fat or too short.
routers. not the packet distribution blinkybox type; the ones that do the sexy complex joinery where you can make stuff without screws. like, yes, all my furnishings should be puzzlefit, GUIDE ME.
I buy lingerie for my wife like once every few years and I'm absolutely inundated with these adds. Also adds for lingerie for bigger women which is odd since my wife is not a bigger woman.
You are exceptionally intelligent and talented as a journalist. Yes I watched you talk about sports. It seems such a waste though. The country needs such a straight forward approach in the news cycle.
This is honestly the best thread! 15 years ago, I consumed way too much YT gun community content and even they parody themselves a little bit, calling some guys, “tacticool” and such. But this culture of pitching the most insanely normal items as tactical still happens today. LMAO
It is also molle-ready, enabling you to attach satchels and bags to tactically store your Skittles and BBQ sauce packets. For quick snacking "during missions". Always be ready.
**opens zippered vest, reaches into inside pocket, removes phone from velco pouch, opens card holding case with military drop protection, turns on pen flashlight, reads post, slings lanyard back into pocket**
Wait the tactical hoodie has hidden pockets?!?! Goddammit, this whole time I thought it was just a regular hoodie that was lightweight and stretchy but breathable and warm. They've really been underselling it.
Probably that same girl…But also that one muscular dude talking about how productive he is because he’s compressed time and is stacking multiple days into one, or similar hustle mentality clips
This time of year is an impossibly athletic man wearing a football uniform while a film bro swears they will be successful on any team despite being a future day 2 or 3 pick
An influencer shilling some subscription based food item. It's almost always in powder form like mushroom coffee, athletic greens, or overnight oats and it's going to cure all my ills and make me more productive.
"Made with industrial strength components, tested in space to withstand extreme temperatures" oh and a plus if they demo the thing by jumping on a bed of nails or dropping a bowling ball onto it.
A scam almost as old as ads themselves is the electric 'corset' that you see muscular men wear and claim it will allow you to lose weight and gain muscle. In the 1890s-1900s, these are in Sears Roebuck catalogs powered by batteries. Today maybe they plug into the wall or have copper threads..
Exercise programs. Meal plans. Weird ass clothing that would make you look like a medieval Japanese serf. Specialty knives that you would never use. And a lot of hair removal and hair growth products.
The Denver airport used to have a bowl full of knives at the TSA checkpoint because dudes either forgot to take them out of their pockets or didn’t realize “empty your pockets” also applied to their knives. I saw multiple arguments about the knives there.
I have never once in my life thought "I wish my food had more tree in it" but that man has made me think that every time I eat without getting trees involved I am losing out on the wonders of creation
I mean, really as @dieworkwear.bsky.social shows in his threads, literally there are lots of ripped bros wearing tacky suits fitted poorly. The male equivalent is just the exact same thing, but males
Protein. How you’re not eating enough, how to get more. How lack of protein makes you too fat or too skinny or why you’re single or bad at Madden. Everything is protein.
First you start up your CNC router, run the initial cuts then send it over to your drill press while you send these pieces through your planer before moving then over to the other router you use just for dovetailing.
This is fascinating because I’d expect to be right in the middle of the rucking demographic but have not seen a single piece of algo/sponsored content on it. Heard about it organically from a friend and bought a vest without once seeing the term online, while being chronically online.🤔
I haven’t found myself using it as much as I had hoped/expected. It’s nice as far as workout equipment goes, easy to work into other exercises or activities. Honestly, the only issue with it is that it’s just really cumbersome and awkward to store because you can’t really hang it up on a hanger.
"You sir should buy a [tacky looking doodad]. You may be wondering 'will [tacky looking doodad] bring an air of sophistication and taste or is it yet another accessory that will expose me as the weirdo I am'? Valid concern, but observe [tacky looking doodad] on this Eames chair or Saarinen table."
Every golf training aid that will make me hit the ball straighter and further more consistently. Currently I keep getting some rocker board for weight shift. Will it work? Probably not. Do I think it will work? Definitely.
I get stuff for Jose Ole mini tacos and Patron Tequilla all the time. Which makes no damn sense. All I go there for are thing of bunnies or baby goats jumping around

Or the clickbait solitaire game where the attractive assistant gets drunk and sexually aroused.
I would think it’s soothing painting, power washing and mowing videos.
I want tactical hoodie ads, dammit.
I live in Ohio, all I do is layer
Im in Georgia - the humidity makes it impossible to NOT layer.
Totally man. It's getting a little ridiculous
No one talks to random people in the gym unless their psychopaths
Because the Jeans were the last thing I saw
The second time, I was “huh, they do look comfortable.”
everyone wants too look like daniel craig, ends up looking like door-door salesmen.
(no offense to salesmen)
all these men out there carrying $300 tactical multi-tools to walmart (bc they don’t go anywhere else)
(I am aware this is not relatable but I do not care it drives me nuts)
Usually by fanboys saying it's revolutionised their lives
Or Flat Bill baseball hats.
(I think I'm going to try it)
Right now? Taxes.
If you're poor and like those things, you're a nut. If you're wealthy, you're eccentric.😆
Feels like a good parallel, actually. Guy who doesn't need it selling something only the most insecure people would buy.
