    Northface is popular here in Ireland, first time in winter here and I can say that it's not that cold, 5 degrees is okay, if I wore this type of jacket I would sweat buckets. I am used to way colder weather. I usually wear like autumn jackets here/bomber style jackets.
    That being said, Northface is like the typical chav jacket I'd say, unfortunate cause it looks cool. It's what Adidas is to Russians.

      Most men around the world have a short back and sides jar head short military haircut. It makes them look more manly and also is low maintenance. Many men, arent interested in spending hours in front of a mirror with brylcream to look like a grease ball, not interested in long messy hair, or looking feminine.

The men who spend a long time styling there hair have a much higher fear of rejection and spend hours in front of the mirror doing their best to avoid rejection. Men in general that cut their hair really short or shave it all off don't care about rejection as much and are more comfortable in themselves.

      @@MichaelCook84 I've never used this word before but this is such cope. Going against the status quo (man growing out his hair or a woman cutting her hair short) takes far more balls than looking like every normie ever. Everyone has a fear of rejection, its normal, but to act like doing what people expect of you is apex tier self assurance is laughable. The "manly men" bit also makes you sound like you have a chip on your shoulder about your masculinity but I don't know you so I cant say for sure. I'm just going off of experience.

      @MichaelCook84 Рік тому +1

      @@TheBluestOfThemAll That's very true. We are stereotyping very much here, every human is different. I was talking about men who spent hours styling there hair. I think women cut there hair short for similar reasons, it's easier and no maintenance. You can go to sleep and wake up looking the same. It's not about me as a man and my personal style, I'm observing the culture in the UK and lots of men cut the hair short because its low maintenance. Or grow long because they can't be bothered going to the barbers. That's where its seen also as a man who takes care of his appearance and life. A man with long messy hair is seen as doesn't take care or control of his life. Social pressure with the mindset of the masses is that if your in a male environment, long hair is often seen as girly, or he's lazy or even a poser, short hair means manly, and one of the lads. If your a man in a female environment, men think women want to see a man who keeps himself trim and maintained. The easiest way to do this for a man to achieve this is to cut his hair short. The skin fade is also popular for men in early forties to hide the grey on the sides.
