I don't. I reported SlickSnake to a moderator for spam.

Kiss my.... SUSPENDERS!

Seriously, you started out with posting the stupid pics, not me. And most posters get upset because nobody responds to their posts. You should be flattered, not pissed off.

Troll much? My pics were not stupid and ridiculous, like yours. I was making a point and posted two very *pertinent* pics to the conversation.

You, on the other hand, start posting about 5 different pics of ridiculous photos without a comment or observation. Apparently you think you're funny or cute, I'm not sure. I won't argue with you anymore, I just think you should have a little more respect for other people's threads. I asked a sincere question, you made a mockery of it.

I think you just contradicted yourself with that statement. You said that suspenders require a larger and manlier build not to look silly. I agree, most of the skinny looking hipsters wearing them look silly. But then you said "modern day fatties" destroyed the once good ... what? I don't even, I'm lost. Who destroyed suspenders, skinnies or fatties?

...and fatties are the ones that need suspenders the most.

Suspenders aren't about style, they are about function. And their function has never been unnecessary since pants existed.

There's a middle ground that hefty men of the pre-fatty era occupied. Because fatties have expanded things, they've polarized our very existence, our world now classified as either skinny or fat (or ideal for the rare ubermensch, but I've already stated that they may wear suspenders). The stocky, middle-aged and mustached ideal of generations past is now pressured by the pudgemind into becoming one of them, and those that refuse are henceforth cast into the metrosexual abyss, with nary a suspender remaining to support their superior girth.

maybe it has something to do with the fact that in the past, people wore more baggy clothing, while now it's tight enough to stay in place without suspenders, or with a belt in the worst case, so suspenders really aren't necessary.

I don't understand the jeans/hanging suspenders thing, I saw it just once in real life anyway.

Fair enough. Post what you like for your entertainment. But keep in mind that 5 repeated posts of irrelevant pictures is considered spamming by some. Let me do that in one of your threads, and see how you like it.

By hanging baggy pants on suspenders I avoid squeezing my organs with a belt which is not good for health.Also it's more comfortable.

Aside from a few of the dashing and facially-exquisite professional types posted in here, suspenders require a larger and manlier build to not look silly. Modern-day fatties have destroyed the once-good image of the hefty alpha male, and thus they have basically vanished.

I'm sure I could make the ladies swoon if I wore suspenders, but I've never given into my haberdasher's recommendation to try them out.

I think HamburgerBoy has become my favorite poster. Sorry theprodigalrebel. <3

Anyway, suspenders are fucking pimp, although I agree that they look kinda weird on a skinny bastard like myself.
