Football shirts. On grown men with beer bellies.

I hate blokes wearing t-shirts with cut-off arms.
I like men in suits, if they are nice suits and good-looking men that is.

notsoladyjess · 13/09/2006 22:19

vests - minging
jeans that are tight over balls
those wanky ethnic scarves (with vests)
wanky trilbies
too much jewelry
v neck jumpers

Pink. I don't like it on women, why in God's name would it look attractive on a heterosexual man? Do they not realise that people in this country are conditioned to think Pink = feminine? No woman will fancy them, no straight ones anyweay

cut off t-shirts

themoon66 · 14/09/2006 09:46

Socks and sandals
Brightly coloured man-made fibre football shirts
Speedos
Chalk stripe suits

Absolutely love to the point of orgasm... men in cricket whites... Mmmmmmmmm.

Flamesparrow · 14/09/2006 09:52

Are you talking short sleeved office shirts or casual ones?

Saw a mid 30s bloke today with jeans only just covering the very base of his bum - ok, so he had a nice arse, but there is a difference between baggy jeans and just plain foolish!

With you on the pink too... WHY??? And a bigger WHY do they want us dressing our sons in it???

Flamesparrow · 14/09/2006 09:55

Oh, and pirate gear does it for me

lucykate · 14/09/2006 09:57

men in jeans cut off into shorts. a builder came to our house the other week, admitidly it was a hot day but there is still no excuse for wearing them that short, it was revolting!.

speedos, still makes me lol at the 'friends' episode when they refer to speedos as a 'banana hammock'

southeastastra · 14/09/2006 09:57

i'm afraid i like blokes in tight trousers a la robert plant and led zep yum

Stiglet · 14/09/2006 09:59

dislike: wife beaters, jewellery, just about anything from JD sports or "sports world" (walking past that place makes me shudder), black suits with brown shoes, sandles & socks, those tacky t-shirts with eagles, leopards and the like (usually accompanied by a love & hate tattoo).

I saw a great combo yesterday... tiny running shorts, bare chest and a beanie hat wtf?! Got to agree on that facial hair too... jees I could go on.. oh I have

Love men in well tailored suits and good shoes!

nice well fitting jeans with a short sleeve shirt and nice shoes looks ace

hate hate hate sports gear

hate hate hate jewellery (other than wedding ring)

hate hate hate crappy trainers - DH owns 3 pairs (2 cheap for the gardening/walking to work and 1 pair of Vans which are just as bloody awful)

Give me my man in army gear ANY day - true sex on legs.

Bozza · 14/09/2006 10:39

I think I am with malory on this one to almost every item.

I also don't like men in shirt and ties without the top button fastened - you are not at school now! Get a shirt that fits!

Ulysees · 14/09/2006 10:45

Dh is a lawyer and wears a suit every day. Has nice broad shoulders and is 6 foot so looks good in it.

He also wears sports shirts, mostly foreign football or american football but I like him in them as he suits them. Doesn't wear them in court though

Hate facial hair, jewellery and can't imagine anyone would like socks with sandals fgs??? blaaaaaaaaargh

expatinscotland · 14/09/2006 10:47

Jeans that show off their underwear. YUK.

I like Ozwald Boateng suits (the cut is very sexy)

I loathe men wearing any kind of football shirt

puff · 14/09/2006 10:52

...unless they are on the pitch actually playing

Enid · 14/09/2006 11:05

I like dh in jeans and a slim fitting navy t-shirt he has, he has a ruffled boyish charm (and broad shoulders and flattish belly)

also his lovely expensiuve suits

I hate cheap looking tailoring, cheap thin white shirts on white blokes with spotty necks, 'fuck' logo t shirts. Fat Rah blokes in chinos with short sleeve shirts tucked in with a belt ON THE BEACH, actually chinos per se I hate.
