Where will it end. It's not like they're advertising loo, cleaner, marigolds or washing powder or anything useful. Nope it's women's underwear again.

AM I being unreasonable?

Why are we supposed to care about this?

Why on earth shouldn't men wear lingerie? Nothing to do with gender ideology. Clothes don't have a sex.

In fairness, bras sort of do! Aside from that, I agree; everyone should wear whatever the hell they want, and let's collectively ditch the stupid gender stereotypes that are causing so much harm.

This doesn't bother me at all.

I think it's achieved exactly what they wanted - more media, more clicks.
I won't be buying however.

Do you think it will increase sales though?

I don’t know who that’s targeted at? Most women won’t find men wearing lingerie sexy or be persuaded to buy it for themselves because they’ve seen it on a bloke

Kranke · 16/04/2023 21:47

Can’t people just wear what they want? I don’t look like half the underwear models and I don’t pick underwear based on that. I don’t find the underwear models attractive either (male or female). I just buy what is comfortable for me.

I don't think straight women are the target of that advert.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it grim. It’s a company trying to make some kind of waves marketing wise. I can’t say it’s particularly appealing to me and I bet the sizings are not very big but the guys got a good body…. He doesn’t look bad. Just move on and give it no further thought.

Clothes whether jeans, jumpers or bras are just pieces of fabric, I don't care what anyone chooses to wear once islts in an appropriate settings. Who cares?;

CreepyQueen · 16/04/2023 21:51

So where are all the women in y-fronts advertising men's clothes? Empty pouches cause they have nothing to go in there.

Lots of women wear men's boxers. Can't say I've seen an advert for it but it's not unheard of for women to wear men's underwear.

I don’t care about the underwear. It’s the pose I find annoying. Why do men ( imitating women) do that faux “little ole me” fingers to the throat thing. No one sexy does that.

Because that's what he's being paid to do.

Perhaps he isn't imitating a woman, he is a man wearing underwear? Is lingerie only for women? Surely clothes are for everyone.
