The word hate, it's a strong word.
I reserve it for things that actually deserve it: LA traffic, group text messages, people
talking to movie theaters, and skinny jeans.
Gentlemen, in today's video, seven reasons why I hate skinny jeans.
So, let me be clear, skinny jeans are fine for skinny men, but for most guys out there,
this isn't going to be the best choice for you.
Slim cut is going to be better, straight cut is going to be better, boot cut is going to
be better, even loose cut.
Well, you know, most guys are going to slim, straight boot, 90% of you, that's going to
be the choice.
Even if you go loose, there are variations loose.
Find the brand that works with your particular build and your body, that's what's going to
be best for you.
Don't be a big guy trying to get into slim jeans.
I know some of you guys are saying, Antonio they speak to me, that's what I want to wear.
Guys, I'm about to explain why it just does why it just isn't going to work.
Reason number one that I hate skinny jeans, gentlemen.
They cause urinary tract infections.
Yes, I'm serious.
They did a study of 2,000 British men and what they discovered, take note no pictures
in this study, thank goodness, but when I read the research, 50% of them said they had
issues with too much pressure in their groin.
Over time this basically causes your bladder to be overactive and when you have an overactive
bladder you're going to pee more, but this can over time lead to other issues including
urinary tract infections.
In fact, 25% of the guys in this study showed early signs of bladder issues, 20% of the
people in this study had suffered a twisted testicle.
If you are suffering of a twisted testicle to look good in skinny jeans, you've got issues
that go beyond what I'm beyond the skinny jeans.
Please, don't sacrifice comfort and health for fashion; it's just not worth it.
So, ditch those skinny jeans.
Reason number two that I hate skinny jeans.
Lack of functionality.
Come on, guys, jeans are supposed to be functional.
Let's go back and look at their history.
You've got the 49ers out there using jeans as they're panning for gold.
They could squat down, they can move around easily in their jeans, they had freedom of
movement.
Think about that in a pair of skinny jeans.
You have no freedom of movement.
It defeats the purpose of jeans.
You bend over, you're going to tear seam and you're going to expose your backside area.
Guys, if I had to let's say I'm out camping with Usain Bolt and a bear comes up, well,
I am probably in a pretty tough situation because that bear is going to eat me and Usain
is going to be able to outrun me, unless he's in a pair of skinny jeans.
All of a sudden, my chances have shot up because Usain Bolt in a pair of skinny jeans, man,
you just can't move those little legs, so, hey, he's going to get eaten by the bear.
Guys, think about functionality, avoid skinny jeans.
Reason number three that I hate skinny jeans.
Gentlemen, skinny jeans are like a cheap hotel, no ballroom.
You need room for your balls in your jeans.
Guys, that's simply the way that we're made.
Our testicles hang for a reason.
They need to basically get away from our core body, so that they can maintain a lower temperature
so that they can properly manufacture and store sperm.
If you mess this up, you're going to be shooting blanks.
Reason number four that I hate skinny jeans is that too many men of the wrong body type
are trying to wear skinny jeans.
If you're skinny, if you're thin, maybe give then a shot, but for the vast majority of
us, if you are muscular, if you are big, if you are heavy, if you are overweight, do not
try to squeeze into a pair of skinny jeans.
I've heard of guys being able to squeeze them on, button it up, and say, oh, yeah, I'm able
to button up the button, but yet they have a roll of fat hanging over.
Guys, that's not a good look, that's not a good sign.
Find the jeans that are going to compliment your body type.
Oftentimes it's not just going to be the style, it's going to also be the brand.
So, I know that Zegna makes the type of jeans that's great for older men.
These are probably going to be a little bit more expensive, some of these different brands
out there, but you find a brand that works for your body type.
I have a friend and he's very muscular.
He goes towards Diesel Jeans.
He has them brought in on the waist, but they're good and they fit him right in the thighs.
Guys, find the right style for your body type, don't try to squeeze into a pair that just
isn't, well, isn't made for you.
Reason number five I hate skinny jeans is that many times skinny jeans the particular
styles they go for a lower rise.
Guys, this looks horrible.
It shortens your legs, it makes your torso look abnormally long, and this doesn't look
good on really any guy out there.
In addition, you're going to have trouble walking getting back to the function aspect
of this.
But, guys, why would you wear jeans that just simply makes you look worse.
Reason number six I hate skinny jeans.
The pockets are useless.
Think about that.
You're wearing jeans that almost painted on your body, you can't even get a finger into
that front pocket.
When you put a thin wallet in your back pocket, it looks like you've got a tumor on your backside.
Guys, don't wear jeans that don't even allow that basic functionality of being able to
carry something.
You just try you finally slide that phone in and then you can't get it out.
You're not getting those out til you get those jeans surgically removed.
Guys, I want jeans that are functional.
Reason number seven that I hate skinny jeans.
They attract too much attention.
In fact, they draw our attention to the legs, to the thighs, to the buttocks area.
Now, for certain individuals maybe they do want to attract and I guess for them that's
fine, go with those bright red painted on jeans and everyone is looking at your backside
your legs.
That may be for some individuals and I'm not saying that's wrong, but I think for most
people that want my channel, we want to project an air of confidence, of strength, of power,
and of status.
You do that not by drawing attention to your legs.
Your legs the eyes should go up and down, instead it's going to be shoes, it's going
to be jackets, it's going to be the people around you, it's going to be your behavior.
You don't want people talking about guy -- look at those guy that guy in those jeans.
Instead, you want to say that guy looks like he's the man like he's important.
And that's what I really want you guys to be able to do, control your image, so if you
want to send that message of trust, you want to send the signal of power, you want to send
the signal of strength, and attraction and being attractive, that's an after effect of
your status in that group that you're in.
All right, gentlemen so now, it's your turn.
I want to hear from you down in the comments and I'm going to link in the description to
my friend, Ryan Magin because he's going to have a rebuttal.
He has he loves skinny jeans.
His tribe, all the guys that follow him over at Handsome Guys Secrets, they love skinny
jeans and I know they've got some great reasons.
My this is my opinion, this is my view.
And, for many of you guys it's not going to be right, so go and learn from Ryan if you
want to pick up more, he's got I think his video is going to be fun, it's going to be
entertaining.
And, guys as you know I love learning from you.
If you want to join me and other guys who are learning and improving their style, go
check out our free Facebook group.
I'm going to put that in the description as well.
But, I look forward to seeing what you guys think about this in the comments.
And, again, I know I use the word hate, but I think that men can wear whatever he wants
as long as you own the look and you are prepared to deal with any maybe of the consequences
if you go to an extreme.
So, guys that's it.
Take care.
I'll see you in the next video.
