Yes, Tim is really Vanilla Ice.
I'm not going to be able to stop giggling at that.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

ita, because most men don't wear shirts that fit. They wear shirts that are something like "medium" and the collar and sleeve length are very very approximate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Really? If you grab a shirt (not button down, but you know what I mean) they're sized that way? Why in hell do they keep lording sizing specifics over my gender again? When it's come to my father and other guys whose closets I've been familiar with they've certainly had shirts sized by neck and sleeve measurements.
But if Tim doesn't even wear pants that fit, it's all moot, and Allyson can call off the midnight raid.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Hooray, the mens clothing thread is back in action.
Buy him the shirt and give him a gift receipt. Done deal. Make him work for it.

This is because the guys you're familiar with have necks like oxen and pectorals to match.
Yes, my father wears Brooks Brothers, too. But you sure do see a lot of "Medium" and "Large" men's shirts in the stores.

Colin and my father and, well, most of the guys whose closets I've been in are looking at you real funny. I'm not sure why they don't shop like the average guy, but it's not because they're shaped like that.

Any of Paul's button-downs have at least a neck measurement. I don't know if they get more specific than that, and have like, 16 Gorilla Arms Pot Belly or 16 Stumpy Limb Thin Guy or something. But they are slightly more specific than S/M/L.
Casual wear, OTOH, is all about the letters, in shirts at least.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
We really should get John a login here so we can ask him those important questions.
