    Because that kind of clothing doesn’t go well with a body that screams “40yo dad of 2” and a face of “average GURPS player”

    Because I would never be able to pull off the look with my body shape.

    But I might be able to pull off a voluptuous tavern wench with the help some shapewear and forms.

    Ten years ago you could get black spandex athletic shorts for men. I loved them. I can’t find them anywhere today. The closest products today all have an integrated modesty shell.

    Because it takes effort for men to keep their body in good form and the type of men I have seen that are most obsessed with masculinity are all 250 pounds plus and none of it muscle. They don’t feel as if they should have to work for anything like bodily appearance. “That’s woman stuff.”

    But that’s just my deep Texas view point. I’m sure there are other factors that I see less of.
