For all the attention focused on how what they’re supposed to do is hard, women at least get to know what it is they’re supposed to do: look at the women most sought-after by guys, and try to look like them. For guys, it’s not that simple. Look at the guys most sought-after by women, and what you get isn’t necessarily a template for aesthetics. In high school and college, for example, the guys girls like most usually go around in ratty shorts and ballcaps. Are girls turned on by ratty shorts and ballcaps the same way that men are turned on by tube tops or fishnet stockings? Of course not. The point of these clothes on the guys who wear them isn’t that they look good; it’s that they identify them as members of the dominant group. Their function is akin to that of a military uniform (which women also reputedly find attractive).
Once out of school, you’ve got the fact that women find guys in suits attractive, but this is kind of the same shit. Unlike women’s formalwear, a suit or tux does not show off that you have a nice body. In fact, the point of suits and tuxes seems to be that guys with nice bodies and guys with bad bodies look pretty much the same in them. They’re attractive because nice ones are expensive, thus making it look like you have money—which is a good deal if you have money, but who the fuck has money?

I like weary no clothes, and that somewhat evens things up.
