I have always been too good for 4chan.

Always.

That said, I expected better out of SA. I had always figured it was just PA but bigger.

But they're also much angrier, spergier, and more Marxist.

they have pretty great stuff for lifestyle- you might not like their WAYWT type threads (super hipster, if that's not your thing) but they have very information-dense, good megathreads on watches, suits, weightlifting, running, etc

I actually started getting into the men's fashion subreddits and started trying to do more of that while I was away. I would like to believe my wardrobe is at least 70% more hipster than previously.

For instance, I have started wearing skinny jeans. My legs look fucking fantastic.

4chan is fine

people overplay how awful it is

desk is right about not having to craft an internet persona

i don't even post there

i'm just glad it's a place that exists on the internet

it probably does save the fbi a lot of time

Winky

I could never be a moderator.

I would have to be an extremerator.

Irond Will

i didn't really post anywhere before here i don't think.

i think i got my start posting in really early NYT forums, back when they did those? i can't think of anywhere i posted before then.

i posted for a little bit at styleforum, but the people there are pretty horrible so i stopped.

I was on 4chan, then NeoGAF and was there for awhile and then I was on an off shoot forum for awhile where I was a mod (big mistake) and then I started focusing on PA.

First I tried AC before settling on D and/or D and trying to fit in with the cool kids.

wow

you must have had a great time on 4chan, what with not being white or male and all

It was worse on NeoGAF and the forum that I moderated after that.

trust me.

that must be quite a claim to fame for them

"we're even more toxic than 4chan, seriously don't come here"

Winky

I personally blame 4chan for an entire generation of American pedophiles.

I don't care if this is entirely accurate, I'm sure they at least didn't help.

one thing to note- and this may or may not be important to you- is that r/malefashionadvice is extremely, extremely safe. that can be totally ok and maybe you have a subdued style and it's the exact thing you need to make you not make easy mistakes.

but their 'recommended outfit' is extremely predictable and they can be a little hostile to fashion forward ideas.

so like, they're gonna want you to get a pair of beeswax desert boots by clarks, and then brown AE strands. then it'll be a pair of levi's 511s and uniqlo or jcrew shirts- with a jcrew or brooks brothers or something sweater. they're going to tell you to take it easy with colors, get a good bottom-top contrast but nothing too loud or adventurous.

ain't nothing wrong with going crazier than that, lots of interesting outfits that fall outside those specs.

I figure that at this stage it's probably best for me to take it safe, anyway.

You give me a pair of neon colored pants and I'm gonna have no fucking clue how to drive those things.

r/femalefashionadvice has actually gotten a lot more friendly to alternative fashion ideas (i.e. punk/goth styled clothes)

“In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids,” he told the site. “Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."
