re: Why do guys wear affliction shirts, wear flat bills and spike their hair up?

Shared by a whole lot of people, including several in this very thread.

Since a whole lot of people at a particular time share a certain viewpoint, it must be right?

Again, my generalization was a an objective one. Not something like "people who style their hair a certain way and wear a certain type of t-shirt aren't classy."

Anyone who says they dont' make generalizations based on someones appearance is a fricking liar. It's the human condition. And it's impossible to be different.

Of course I do. I see someone tatted up with nose piercings I automatically think they are into punk rock. Or if I see some 20 something year old at the bar in typical frat attire, I automatically think they are in a frat. But that's not the same as making value judgments on those people just based on their style.

Someone who is classy and carries themselves well isn't going to dress like a tool.

We can pick this debate up later, I need to go do classy things like pick up some items at Wal Mart. You classy people have a good day.

Someone who's truly classy will stick to their guns and dress how they're comfortable, so long as the setting is appropriate.

And plenty of tools dress "classy," just for the record. And they're just as easy to spot from my experience.

I thought even those who bought affliction shirts new they were douche bags when buying them. You have to have a certain attitude to buy and want to wear those ugly as shirts, and that is a douche bag.

You don't see goth kids rocking polo.
You don't see frat stars wearing spikes around their necks.

Instead, you see frat stars in polo, goth kids wearing black, and finally, douchebags wearing affliction.

No hate involved here, just companies targeting certain people...with affliction targeting the douchebag crowd.


ETA: There are exceptions to everything.

Cheers to those Hawaiians. Eliminating one doucher at a time.

Ole Miss douche who gets off on dressing up for sporting events and acting "classy" which is nothing more than "having money to burn on dress shirts while acting superior to those who don't."

False. A nice button down shirt costs just as much as an affliction shirt...those people dress like douches on purpose, not because they can't afford nicer looking clothes.

It really is more about how you carry yourself than anything. And it's not just about the Affliction shirt (as Dr. Jones says in the OP, but Jon Ham is all hung up on). It's a whole persona that is totally off putting and not "classy" IMO.

---

This. The way I carry myself in an "affliction" shirt is the same way I comport myself when I'm in my military uniform, as do the friends with whom I choose to associate. For me, the clothes can change, but the person wearing them never does, and people respect that.

At the end of the day, a douche will still be a douche whether he's in affliction and camo or a three piece suit, and the same applies vice versa. I try to give everyone a chance regardless of their appearance until they give me a legitimate reason to not respect them.
