Top Male Fashion Faux Pas: The Rucksack

The whole article revolves around heaping hate on the cliched anime convention attendee obviously though.

And to my knowledge, the cliche anime convention type really has no particular interest in real women looking at them.

LOL the tucking in your shirt is odd. Usually the richer you are then better you dress and tucking in your shirt is part of that.

Honestly, what the fuck do fashion experts know about anything? Maybe I just don't understand it, but fashion has to be one of the most transient and least satisfying jobs in the world...You never have anything to show for it other than clinging onto one materialistic sensation after another until you've become too old for anyone to really give a shit. I really wonder if any "fashion experts" end up saying, "oh my, I have wasted the last 40 years of my life."

All you really need is a towel.

Is it me, or does that drawing they have up there look an awful lot like Chris-chan?

ta'hell with all that. Just carry around a big red velvet bag everywhere you go. And just randomly yell out "HO HO HO!" and hand out shit to people ;)
That might get you some chicks

Same could be said of your like of anime.

Seems no one realizes that this survey is about men going to a konkatsu party (a marriage hunting party). In other words, a social event.

I can't imagine any guy going to such a thing with a rucksack and a fannypack...

Never use any of them, a suitcase is better instead of a bag or something. I still use a rackpack since I attend to the university and EVERYONE uses them, so it's normal and handy for those many books and the laptop

What the hell is wrong with white socks?

Guys, the article is talking about those who generally go out dressed like that thinking it's normal. As far as fashion goes I usually wear Levis 510 super skinnys or any other nice skinny jean. Shirts I have various shirts from Diamond, The Hundreds, Supreme, Crooks & Castles, and such. I also have various pairs of Nike AF1s, dunks, and SBs. I also wear a new era fitted hat every now and then.

Why do women ALWAYS care about shoes? If I wear a 3 piece suit with dirty shoes chicks still look at me like "he must have no money"

White socks lolwut? Well I'm good my red/blue wool socks most be fashionable.

Rather strange tastes these "advisors" have on a few points, at least compared to locals.

1. Bags - where I come from rucksacks are steadily gaining popularity, particularly laptop users who are practically everywhere nowadays thanks to WiFi Services (in fact laptop security advise is to transport such wares in "nondescript" bags, because stuff like attache cases and traditional laptop carriers will attract thieves)
2. White socks - Their point is applicable for officeware. For the sporty look, I wonder what they want to see?
3. Dirty shoes - again in officeware or formal wear. I guess the outdoors and adventures are off limits to these advisors.
4. Gold Necklaces - perhaps Mr. T scared them?
5. Belts with strange buckles - any examples of these?
6. A shirt tucked into the trousers - perhaps all the men these advisors keep seeing are way out of shape? Tucking in shirts is a preferred look where I come from, especially in the office.

Might be an urbanite thing or only specific to some nations, but here in Canada, the truly interested in fashion aka wealthy don't NEED top carry their shit around. They leave it in their cars.

I don't really understand what the big deal is. I mean, it isn't difficult to NOT dress like a clown.

And sure, sometimes you're going to need to run around carrying a bunch of stupid crap and looking like a geek. There are times when that is appropriate, and there are times when you should put forth the effort to 'dress nice'.

So long as you can manage that common sense sort of stuff and avoid dressing like a fool, any woman overly-concerned with how you dress is probably a less than ideal partner. Because honestly, that's rather shallow.

For example, unless I am expecting company of some sort, I tend to bum around my apartment in one of several oversized tshirts and some comfortable pants. I wouldn't go outside in this, that's just common sense. I have comfortable 'inside' clothes for hanging around the house, I have active wear, I have 'nice clothes', I have work clothes, I have relaxed 'outside' clothes for hanging out with friends, I have a Tactical Response Uniform...but that's another story.

And a good bag that can hold a lot of stuff and still look good isn't hard to manage. I <3 my Tenba messenger bag. Combination messenger bag, camera bag, and laptop bag. Pretty damn spiffy. Looks good on me (So I've been told), comfortable, and keeps my camera equipment safe and secure. Not cheap though, there's always a trade-off. ;o

Perhaps some women just need to remember that we're not women. We don't give a shit how we look or dress, so long as we're not making asses of ourselves. (Well, most of us, anyway.) If they so badly want their partners to be attractive and fashion-obsessed, they're looking at the wrong gender.

What's wrong with white socks?

Those socialable fools!

The rucksack, also known as the backpack, is the peak of equipment-carrying efficiency!

Not only does it carry all your necessary equipment safe from external dirt and travel damage (and in some cases, water), it also allows you to have both hands free for all kinds of situations; let it be an unexpected hostile approaching you, or when you need your hands to rescue somebody without having to waste time by dropping your equipment to do so!

Because this description matches every one of you ugly fat otakus on here, its a good way of explaining why you'd choose a fictional 2D wife, who can't tell you how repulsive you are.

Here is how I'll dress for my konkatsu
1)boxer(no need for pants)
2)slipper
3)vest with Doraemon pocket
4)my PSP hanging around my neck
5)finally carrying my C.C. dakimakura since backpack is a no-no
I'm sure I'll definitely look cool

I use Rucksacks when needed. I've even been found using an waist pouch :O

Though I only use the pouch on (music) festivals because it is harder to steal something from it and perfect for holding my weed.

Other then that I fully understand why women are against men carrying bags of any kind. I mean how are the supposed to hold all the shopping bags if they already have bags of their own??

Wierd. I carry a rucksack/backpack all the time because I read while on transport and carry a bottle of water as well. The same bag is what I use to carry my tons of notes and other schoolwork related material to school >_> I'd ratehr carry my load in a balanced manner on both shoulders cause its just sometimes so darn heavy.

There are reasons why people dress they way they want to, simply because they don't want to do what they don't intend to do. These so-called "experts" should know their own place and know that there exists other places beside their own.

If I want a bag to carry my stuff, I'll just get the nearest decent bag in a heartbeat. That or I'll bring my own.

Going out just to get bread shouldn't feel like going on a date because I don't want to go on a date. I just want to get my bread. Couldn't get any simpler than that. Just... GIVE ME MY *censored* BRREAAADDD!!!

I dont think Ive EVER seen anyone dress like that in real life... IF you have more bags than a woman, I can see her being turned off.

otaku is culture!!!

Damn! That is exactly what i look like...

Don't bother with this one it is pointless.

Douche yes, but armed!
Put that on a t-shirt "Armed Douche"

People need to learn how to spell.

Hmm...I wear sweats, white socks, sneakers, and a messenger bag.

Shit, Boo shirts conquer all

Bah, whatever. I love my fanny pack.

"white socks"

Why is that bad?

fuck me, my clean white socks have doomed me....

where can I get one of those 'lol'belts?

What's a rucksack? Is it a backpack or is it a handbag?

I disagree with some of the sentiment here- particularly that a backpack is worse than a branded shopping bag. I may use the items in question, but it's a far cry from serving as a walking advertisement.

Giant belt buckles are likewise defensible, but only if you're a certain type of person. Trying to act like you are with a cardboard personality will understandably have adverse dating effects.

Those orbital head sparkles, though? Total chick magnet.

White socks are a fashion faux pas which makes one undateable in Japan? You have got to be fucking kidding me.

IMO a single backpack is good enough. The rest can be stored either a vest, cargo pants, shoes, or hair.

"fashion experts"
ha ha ha
oh wow
