Neckbeard is a good one too. Usually goes along with fedora wearer.

Makes me want to buy a fedora if this stupid shit keeps happening.

I'm de-stigmatizing the mullet by growing one.

It is instructive how the sex of the target affects some people's reactions.

Interesting! Since when did wearing a Fedora become something to mock? I've been wearing a Fedora for years. They aren't cheap, either, especially a good one. I think mine cost $150 to $200 dollars. My girlfriend bought it for me, as she said I look very good in a Fedora, and she has always thought they looked sharp and sexy on a man.

In public, I have also had many women approach me, and right up to me and say, the Fedora looks so awesome and sharp on me. I have to say, in my experience, wearing a Fedora gets plenty of positive attention from women, of many ages. Likewise, men as well have remarked how cool the hat looks, also both younger and older men.

Men don't, of course, but in more social gatherings, the women *love* flirting with me, and asking me if they can wear my Fedora, and often taking pics of them, and their girlfriends passing it around and posing, and so on. All a whole lot of fun.

I think that is pretty cool, you know?

I've been wanting to bring the mullet back for a while. A venerable hairstyle of ancient warriors, keeps your neck warm and doesn't obscure your vision.  I'm in if you are.

Also, velcro shoes.

As someone who was a kid in rural Appalachia during the 1990's, I had a mullet when I was a little kid.

It was actually kind of cool and I would definitely consider growing one out again.

The fedora-shaming concept is another example of Millennial idiocy. The much-derided headgear they often cite aren't even actual fedoras, but cheap trilby hats that anyone can buy at their local Walmart or Target for ten bucks or less.

If the women actually see a well-kept and well-dressed man in an actual wide-brimmed fedora, they would likely be impressed and would not assume you are a neckbeard basement dweller

Unless they're a fanatical dangerhair sow, but those insane leftists barely qualify as people at this point.

Honestly, the trilby neckbeard men and the dangerhair sows are both a millstone around society's neck and both should be grateful they live in a wealthy capitalistic Western democratic republic like the United States.

If the dangerhairs got to live in their ideal Anarcho-Communist utopia, they would be dead within a day or two, three days tops if they are really lucky.

Traditionally fedoras were worn by cool dudes. So now there are a fair number of overweight neckbeards who seem to think that wearing a fedora will make them look cool, too.

Personally I recently bought a Barbour huntin'/fishin' type floppy green hat, and I definitely look cool in it.

It's not a mullet, it's just long hair.  At least that is my reply as mine grows.

I guess you could sum it up as 'male nerd shaming.' Awkward nerd boys take up D&D, and for decades there was stigma around it. Suddenly it's popular now since I guess that the visible people now are more telegenic. If masses of male nerds all of a sudden showed interest in, say, poker, I'm pretty sure that would become stigmatized too.

For that matter, I'm sure that basement dwelling is not stigmatized because of the basement dwelling, but because of who's dwelling in it.

I feel that nearly all stigmas are bullshit. In my experience, there is little correlation between being good-looking and/or fashionable, with being a decent human being.

There are plenty of people who are good-looking, fashionable, and/or rich while also being total assholes. And there are plenty of people who are ugly, introverted, struggling nerds who are still upright and decent human beings.

It's called the halo effect and it's very real.

That's right, my friend! Wear that cool hat! Fedora's are awesome, stylish, classy, and cool, as you mentioned. I have at various times worn my black Fedora at work. Trainloads of compliments, from both men and women alike. Some of my friends and colleagues at work would joke that I always looked fucking sharp, and with the Fedora I looked like Al Capone, or some bad-ass gangster. Women, especially, are impressed.

I usually wear a sharp suit; black jacket, black trousers and dress shoes, white or coloured dress shirt, coloured tie, black and silver-trimmed suspenders. Silver and diamond watch. So a black Fedora added a smooth touch. I'm always clean-shaven, smelling good, looking professional. It's a requirement of my job.

I haven't met anyone that wasn't positively impressed.

So, yeah, it's kind of weird to hear about these Jabba neckbeards trying to look cool wearing a Fedora. The Fedora is a sharp accessory, but it requires that you go the whole hog and look the part. Shorts and flip-flops, a huge belly, and a snarling garden for a beard, I'm afraid, just don't cut it.
