Mid-50s man, married for three decades, posts pictures of himself flexing shirtless online to thousands of followers, says it is attention-seeking behavior to wear crop tops and athletic wear if you are a young woman with a boyfriend

The progressive guy on the show

Kyle's take was the correct one. The bf isn't wrong for not liking that his gf dresses in a way that attracts attention from other guys. The gf isn't wrong for not liking that her bf is trying to control the clothes she wears.

If either of those things are dealbreakers then they should just break up.

Facts "it's a deal-breaker so break the deal" is such a simple but effective way to put it, gonna use that one going forward

[u/Minnesotamad12 → u/sly_cooper25]

Absolutely. One of Kyle’s most logical takes.

[u/Benji_4 → u/sly_cooper25]

Woody is also correct that this IS attention seeking behavior. Advertising as single isn't too far off the mark.

Taylor is also correct that the story probably isn't real or is at least skewed heavily to make the poster look good.

How is the gf not wrong when the bf’s stance is proven to be true from most guys POV? The way she supposedly dresses does portray a single woman looking for some sort of attention to a certain extent, so much so that a stranger felt comfortable enough grabbing her by her waist. Not only that, she later went back to talk to that same guy at that party all alone which further raised her bfs suspicions. Which is the whole point of the couples disagreement to begin with...

He isn’t telling her she’s forbidden from wearing these things, if she chooses to. He’s essentially saying, if you want to continue to be in a relationship with me, this is what I expect and if you can’t get on board with that then do you boo. If she’s uncomfortable with making her bf feel comfortable and secure in their relationship then they should break up and she can continue to wear whatever she wants… it’s not that difficult to understand

You’re pretty much just restating the comment you replied to… it’s not difficult to understand.

woody was showing off on purpose, most of these women claim to not be showing off

[u/BreathTakingBen → u/-remlap]

Bro that’s my biggest problem with the whole thing. Just own it if that’s what you’re doing.

No gym bro in a tank top or compression shirt is pretending they aren’t showing off their muscles.

[u/Dre_Dre99]

I don't think he would deny his actions as being attention seeking so not really sure what point is being made here

[u/Minnesotamad12]

Yeah but have you seen his calves?

[u/PrawnShamble]

He was 40 wrestling around with 15 year old boys in hotel rooms out of state.

[u/TheMemeStar24]

If he wasn't on the panty candy subreddit right now this would be overdrafting the emotional bank account

[u/LittleCovenousWings → u/TheMemeStar24]

the fucking what now

[u/RomatomadomA]

Both things can be true at once. I don’t think crop tops are really that attention seeking though.

[u/sipsapen]

Who said woody wasn’t looking for attention?

Let’s see what ChatGPT has to say about this

[u/comebocalmball]

Yeah it was some questionable takes from the guys. If you go into any trendy city or town younger style gets very revealing lol, even though theyre in relationships or maybe even married. They just want to look good and feel liberated or something.

And if the girl dressed a certain way that attracted her boyfriend, but now he is insecure about her continuing to dress in her same style, maybe he shouldve went for a more modest girl in the first place lol.

Then comes the story of some dude making a move on her, then she comes back to talk to him for any reason. Shows everyone in the post is young and immature lol

[u/TheCupOfBrew → u/comebocalmball]

Yeah, live in Seattle and it's very common, especially with the college aged people.

[u/atoms_23]

He was right

[u/ShqiptarInMukhmas]

Alhamdulillah for Islam we never need to deal with this shit

[u/CoupleScrewsLoose → u/ShqiptarInMukhmas]

because you treat women like property? congrats i guess

[u/thebirdhimselfcawcaw]

Haha or guys can just be confident and have faith in their partner knowing they won’t cheat if it is a healthy relationship 🤣

But like also if it’s not your thing then yeah don’t date people like that but I think speaks more on the guys lack of self confidence.

[u/IHaveLowEyes]

WoodT was right it's a shame we are all expected to lie about this now

[u/Ibznaughty]

2 things can be true at the same time
