Yea but it's valid. I wanna try a cowboy hat.
You're living in real life. This is the internet. Everyone is fearless behind a screen.
Wait, you guys are fearless behind a screen? D:
Nope - chronically fearful babyyy B)
She isn't baggin' on the dude, only saying it sucks to see the hat wearer so uncomfortable. I'd call that a score for empathy.
I fail to see how going behind someone's back to publicly tweet about their insecurity is a positive thing
Plus, it’s jumping to conclusions. Maybe the dude had an upset stomach and went into the cafe for a chamomile tea. So he was making a funny face. Who fucking knows. Anyway, the claim that the person going “hmm he’s not pulling off that look” then posting it online is being empathetic is wild.

Hey, some looks you gotta build yourself up to. I'm a dude with long hair, when I first let it grow long enough to tie back, it felt really weird being in public with a ponytail/ bun. I didn't feel like "the guy with the ponytail" yet.
A few more trips to the coffee shop, and hopefully this guy will just be "the guy in the cowboy hat" 👍🏽
When I first grew my hair out as a young teen, I didn't put it up at all until I cut it short again. The next time I tried growing it out it became my thing to always have it up
Yup, I never tied my hair back growing up. Now that on my last hurrah with it as it's falling out, I tend to tie it back more often than not when I'm working.
Oh shit, I thought it was just me. I was so subconscious about it, I actually tie it up all the time. Then one day I started to get more confident and just let it down all the time.
One time(while wearing a mask) someone called me ma'am. Another time a Indian man in Brisbane was being a dick and told me women can't be in the male bathroom.
I also used to have long hair and would accidentally get called ma'am back in the day. I noticed the person who said it is usually wayyy more mortified than you are. Partly because they misgendered you, but mostly because they totally just checked out your ass too. After realizing that, it never bothered me again.
Growing my hair out forever ago is how I learned (started, anyway) I have only a faint attachment to the male identity. I got called "ma'am" with surprising regularity and it never bothered me to be misgendered. My hair's still long, but I'm fat and bearded so waitstaff are a lot more confident from all angles. People were a lot more casually homophobic back then too, but girls loved to play with it so the joke's on them.
I've always kept it brushed and loose unless I'm working and need it out of the way. (Or it's windy. Damned wind.)

Very much so. Wore a bun for years until I was like oh this doesn't look like complete shit.
I'd want someone to say if it did though lol
My dad was cowboy hat guy. It helps if you get a porn stache going as well. Adds to the mystique.

The only thing worse is someone wearing a cowboy hat who's overly confident about it
Like this fuckin' douchebag.
Oh god please let this human turd fade into obscurity in a couple weeks
Who is it? And why is a guy standing in front of a Canadian flag be wearing Texas hat
He's the leader of our Conservative party and a close contender to be our next Prime Minister. He's about as fake as a person can be and has absolutely no vision or plan for Canada.
Sure he does. His vision is , and he feels really strongly about it.
It's just a cowboy hat, I don't think they're specific to Texas. I'm fairly certain that some parts of Canada have long been associated with cowboys.
I know nothing about the guy wearing it in the picture though. He looks like a dick
Same. The Libs are projected to win, but I'm really worried about low voter turnout as it was with America's last election. I never want to see that fucking cunt become PM as he so badly craves.
We are seeing good numbers in advance polling. I think this year will have a better voter turn out than most recent years.
Looks like he needs a larger t-shirt, maybe they were out of mediums?
Sometimes people are just having tough days. Sometimes their insecurities aren’t worn on their sleeves or hats. Occasionally, we just have to wait a few days until our scalps recover from freak birthday candle accidents, and the hat fused to your skull by singed flesh and fat can be removed without surgical intervention. Everyone is living their own life. Don’t jump to conclusions.
I this scenario. Do you happen to wearing a wig? Or rather is there a wig infused to you scalp?
Look, we can talk about fictional wednesdays or overpriced wigs all you like, but that doesn’t make the restaurant any less culpable. Metaphorically.
I still remember the sudden look of realization when I told a fellow shy nerd at the NerdCon rave "We're already shirtless and covered in body paint, we might as well dance".
That's sweet he was able to cut losses that day, we all deserve to be free from judgment to just have fun every now and then
Give him a complimentary sugar lump for his horse. That ought to make him feel better.
That hurts. Do you attempt to give him a boost at the risk of the insincerity seeping into your affect, or try to just ignore it?
I feel like, if you are categorically incapable of coming up with something nice to say about someone's hat with a degree of sincerity necessary to make it through that one-off interaction, then one of two things is true: either you're the wrong person to be involving themselves, or the hat is so horrendous, the kind thing to do would actually be insulting them so they never wear it again. My money is on the former tho lol
Just keep singing this in your head, you'll make it.
I know it's an ad, but every young man needs to watch this.
No! N-O i just got that song outta my head.
For days
Men in cowboy hats are hot. But it needs to be a nice hat.
And also, the guy has to be hot.
Rules 1 and 2 apply.
Fuck. I’ll put this cowboy hat down and walk away.
I would expect cowboy hats in general, but especially a nice, good quality one, to have been designed specifically to prevent the wearer from overheating when exposed to harsh sunlight.
Or in more technical terms, man's not hot.
