White guys wearing camo jorts or hoodies look like goobers but black guys make it look pretty good. Sorry but them's the breaks.

How old are these men? I seem to remember single-digits aged chupacabron enjoyed wearing camo but rarely see people wearing it that I trust to wash their hands before leaving the bathroom

Which I guess fits with the single-digits aged part
Old enough to have children that cut them out of their lives. They look in their 40s, at least. I think the goon who said it was on sale is the most on point in this quagmire since I see a lot mid-day, which might suggest they're unemployed (I'm unemployed).

Left two are okay, but could be improved pretty easily. He's attractive enough and wearing enough wealth that it is going to take some incredibly poor fashion choices to make him look as bad as the average white guy in faded Kmart camo bought ten years and thirty pounds ago. Far right is clown stuff. Still, you are probably right that camo works fairly well on black men from fit to buff proportions.

Camo is ugly from a color standpoint. You can probably make it okay if it's black/red or pink/black but green/brown is a loving hideous palatte and literally only looks slightly better on darker skin because it better suits the skin tone, bit you're still dealing with fundamentally dreary and depressing fabric patterns and are better off with something else. It just looks like a bunch of unappealing visual noise. It's literally designed to look like dirt and foliage so that's what it comes off rear end, some poo poo from the ground.

It's about more than just colour though. A ripped black man in camo pants and a tight black shirt has some 'man in uniform' and 'man of action' appeal, but with less of the redneck military meathead associations of a white dude. Compare to the leopard print on women situation. The colours aren't actually unappealing. Leopards as an animal are rocking a pretty decent look. But there are some negative associations and stereotypes of tacky leopard print clothing wearers that make it unappealing.

Every day I see multiple men wearing camo print.

Are they repping the military or do they like this (ugly) style? Could this be some kind of middle aged, testosterone thing?



Camo is for hiding so obviously they're cowards. This isn't rocket surgery.

I purely associate uniforms and uniform fetishism with authoritarianism and people who are desirous of appearing superficially powerful in a compensating fashion so that aspect is additionally unappealing to me.
And leopard print can be trashy but hot. There is no case in which camo doesn't seem explicitly hideous to me, and the military/hunting/materialistic masculinity of them only make them that much uglier.

You have a leopard camo pubic wig?!

I mean not like sexy hot I mean does it heat your junk up and make your taint sweat uncontrollably to the point of soaking through multiple pairs of pants every single day and you have to leave work and burn PTO because you can't stop sweating your taint off

I once knew a guy who would wear bright pink camo pants. Easily some of the most hideous pants I've ever seen. The dude was college-aged too. Terrible fashion transcends age and time.

4. Skillet CD stuck in the stereo.
