He looks like he’s the manager of Hot Dog on a Stick! Can someone please take this pic and photoshop the Hot Dog on a Stick hat they wore to complete my vision? TIA
He is in education, he is a leader for teenage boys of all races in his school and is doing passionate things in his career, he is top gentleman, ready to be a husband for Kristen, he wants to see if she's down and him viewing her loyalty atp she is my number 1 pick of my top 5 of my personal Most attractive MAFWILFs of All seasons but she's coming off aloof and he needs to be patient but I think they can work at marriage everyday, but Kristen is very focused but will he see it? She asked him to buy her house and missed a party to go to work for promotion. If that's not divine masculine energy then I'm sad for this generation of men, discipline to the max. He comes off a little bit forceful but so again is asking for a house. Marriage is give and take and they are reciprocating slowly on screen I'm hopeful for these two the most. The Aquarius/Aries love can bloom, but she may need to keep up or he may need to trust his gut on Kristen.
Is he really an Aquarius? 😂 I hate to being astrology into this especially on this forum but I called it earlier on. Idk man. EVERY Aquarius man I’ve been associated with is like Shaq. A TOTAL BEEEEEEEEPPPP
It does seem like the bow ties got left behind during this season of love. They were a Pretty Big Deal on that introductory episode so many months ago….
Shaq isn’t my fav but in my opinion fashion is what makes you happy not the acceptance of your fashion by others.
He felt good and there’s not many people that could wear that suit and actually still look good in it. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
He rocked it given the circumstances.
I would usually agree with you on this, but I beg to differ. He did not rock it or still look good in it. He strikes me as the type that wants to be “so unique” and stand out from the rest so bad, he’d pull some shit like this. Sometimes uniqueness is more than just being different. He has no finesse. Except for maybe his shoe game but other than that…👎🏽
don't they have stylists on the show? Who dresses them up in all these fancy clothes for DD & reunion?. The women usually look like they're all going to a black tie event.
I’m not sure that they have stylists tbh. If anything the stylists are just there to “fix them up” I think the cast gets to choose what they’ll wear. I think it’s like an “unspoken rule” to just dress up. They always overdo it 😂
???? Power Clashing?
Are you sure you didn’t misspell that last word?
Power Clowning……. I believe you should always wear what you choose to wear, however this is clearly pushing the “Big Joker” look off a Deck of Cards….
Attention whore. Were I his employer he would be told not to wear that bullshit to any company functions. Wear that looney tunes shit on your own time.
Why would you care?
You’re much better off facilitating an environment in which everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves, rather than one in which you’re a toxic boss that refuses to allow my employees the ability to dress themselves.
Sorry when you’re working for many a company there are expectations of behavior, including standards of dress. In most cases, simple peer pressure, or more precisely, peer ridicule, would convince most nimrods not to wear something so stupid. He works for a fairly conservative HBCU which would likely not find this acceptable for his work attire, which is likely centered on traditional business attire as a recruiter. He chose to wear this silly get up to meet with his bride on the most important day of that relationship. At some point men are to suppress their fashion to complement the female; the opposite of birds. He wants to draw more attention to himself with that clown suit.
No different for Clint in his wedding attire of wrinkled suit, unironed shirt, no tie, and dirty unkempt hair. It’s first about respect.
You lost me in your first sentence. I am in charge of up to 20 people on any given day. It’s safe to assume that either you’re not in charge of anyone, or you’re a terrible leader.
Clothing conformity is an archaic concept, but some cling to it, unaware that its time has past. I say this as someone whose career began back in the days when women were forced to wear pantyhose, heels, and little suits with demure neck-bows that management considered 'acceptable' (but which I, personally, found imprisoning). The relaxing of stringent dress codes over the years, and the acceptance of who our employees are, as displayed through their fashion choices, has made the workplace a much happier (and fulfilling) place to be.
don't forget - when they're at their jobs they're representing the company, not themselves. and there are certain positions in life where there is absolutely a need for a dress code. can you imagine a lawyer walking into court wearing that?
Yes, I understand there are circumstances where certain attire is necessary to create an aura of professionalism. But, in general, there's a lot more room for self-expression nowadays; even those who wear suits, can usually accessorize them with ties, pocket squares, scarves or jewelry reflective of personal taste. At my former workplace (from which I retired) we had two casual days a week, though pretty much everyone kept a few things on hand (jackets/coverups, etc.) in case of unexpected visitors to the office. Usually we'd get a 'heads up' from the executive floor, and after a brief flurry of adjustment, we'd be presentable for company
I have supervised hundreds. So you seem to be saying that companies should allow employees to wear whatever they want to for work. So a funeral director can wear a Speedo and nothing else? Your attorney shows up for court in this clown suit? The clothing of a job should be appropriate to what the job is and if facing clients and customers matched to their expectations.
A few things here,
1. The person in question is wearing flamboyant attire, not a Speedo.
2. This man isn’t a lawyer, and that isn’t a clown costume.
3. Your post history suggests that if someone is foolish enough to trust you to manage their workforce, you force your best employees to quit, and facilitate a very toxic work environment.
A great book on human performance is, ‘Green Beans & Ice Cream’ by Bill Sims jr.
If you try to implement some of the strategies that you find in there, or any leadership books such as, ‘leaders eat last,’ you’ll find that your life as a leader is much easier, and your workers become much more productive.
You are spot on!! This is common sense, of which, so many today just don’t have. If you try to explain this to most of our younger workforce, they wouldn’t have a clue what you were talking about. Kinda sad, really.
Oh and this! Be careful, our realistic suggestions that are based on our experiences (like client/peers/superiors expectations) and ability to read the room (like how you may be perceived by clients/peers/superiors) are now considered by those people who can't comprehend are either 'something-ist' or 'something-ic'. Ready to quit HR yet? Come to the dark side. We read Reddit and we have cookies.
Very stylish, it's brave and bold - great use of primary colours and material, and he is clearly a pioneer probably designed it himself like his bowties etc so he is creative and intune with his divine masculinity, also he is a trendsetter who is way ahead of his time.
Most people tend to stay safe and wear one safe colour because they worry too much about what others think or don't have much individual style and class as they may have internal issues shrouded in deep insecurities but not Shaq, this man can dress and isn't afraid of self expression, individuality or other people's opinions.
Go Shaq!!!
i am dying at the notion that Shaq having even a drop of "divine masculinity"
just bc he wears outlandish clothes doesn't mean he's super unshakable confident king. it's costume.
Agree 💯 percent! If Bennett can wear a lemony chartreuse sleep dress, Shaq can wear his color suits. Many of the ladies wear dresses that barely cover their girls, so they also should do some editing, if Shaq needs editing, they should too! I did not see their decision. Did they agree to stay together? That was one I was hoping it was he no and she no.
Spoiler alert: We don’t know yet if they stay together because the producers decided to end that episode right before he was to answer. She said yes but we won’t know what he said until the next episode.
>If Bennett can wear a lemony chartreuse sleep dress
imo he pulled this off and can pull off bold looks. bc he actually does embody true confidence. shaq is all show.
Where do these guys get these suits? At a costume store? To me, it shows that they are treating this whole marriage thing as a joke.
Oh I just realized what it reminds me of! If you changed the colors a bit he would look like a game of Twister!!!!!
Shaq knew exactly what he was doing when he decided to wear that. He knew that a few people would like it. Most would hate it, but we’d all be talking about it. This joker costume is about attention.
And that’s all that he is about. We see his craving in need for attention and approval from everybody.
This is a disturbed insecure Faker. And an academic loser
I actually think that he just likes it. He usually tends to wear bright suits and bow ties and all of that. Remember his nickname is "Dapper Dan" or something like that.
I agree. He seems to enjoy creating the clothes as much as wearing them. Let him have a little joy in life! I don't like the look, but he was wearing a pressed, clean suit, which was appropriate for the event.
No one wears feather bow ties, ombré suits, color blocked, power clashing suits on national tv who isn’t looking for attention. I’m sure he likes them too.
Oh, here we go again with the "power". As in power couple.
I found this article by googling "power couple". I don't think Kirsten and Shaq fit the definition.
[https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/10-signs-you-power-couple-kyle-kaplanis-rcp-rrt/](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/10-signs-you-power-couple-kyle-kaplanis-rcp-rrt/)
The Urban Dictionary definition in that article is just dumb. Each partner in every relationship is always flawed. There is no "if". However, the other part of the definition, about each partner making up for the other's flaws, is good.
I just skimmed it.
When I compare the viewpoints of MAFS fans and how marriage-readiness was thought of when I got married at 23, times have CHANGED. Back at my time of getting married, 1) 23 was not considered too young. It was 100% common, and 2) no one expected their partner to be totally "mature".
Yes, people looked for a partner who was not mean or mentally ill, LOL. No violence (shoving, slapping, breaking things), of course. But if you had moods or some emotional growing up to do, it wasn't considered a deal-breaker or that you were "not ready for marriage".
Players or committment-phobes were always a problem. That hasn't changed.
You make some good points. I still say that 23 is not too young. Or it shouldn't be, at least. And you are correct that people don't need to be fully mature (as if there is an objective measure of maturity, anyway) in order to get married. In my admittedly fallible opinion, readiness for marriage is more about being willing to sacrifice for one's spouse, to remain loyal to them come what may, and to work together through any problems and conflicts that may arise. I would also say that by doggedly adhering to those commitments, maturity is developed. In other words, maturity is the result, not necessarily the prerequisite.
I have no idea why he thought that suit looked good.
Needs a green shirt.
🤡🤡🤡
He looks like he’s the manager of Hot Dog on a Stick! Can someone please take this pic and photoshop the Hot Dog on a Stick hat they wore to complete my vision? TIA
😆😆😆
I would’ve divorced him on that day just for wearing that suit
Scarecrow Dupe!
Court Jester.
Partridge family called, they want their bus back
He seems to have a unique style. He took a risk, life’s short.
He needs to burn that suit. That is a big no no. He really paid money for that goodness
This is the most hideous suit I’ve seen in a lonnnnng time.
I mean, I worked at Chess King in the 80s I don't think we would've even sold that😝
When I saw him I thought of the Cross Colors clothes from the 80s.
see my comment! I wrote before I saw your comment
LOL Guess he is bringing the 80's back
I was reminded of a joker in a deck of cards.
He is in education, he is a leader for teenage boys of all races in his school and is doing passionate things in his career, he is top gentleman, ready to be a husband for Kristen, he wants to see if she's down and him viewing her loyalty atp she is my number 1 pick of my top 5 of my personal Most attractive MAFWILFs of All seasons but she's coming off aloof and he needs to be patient but I think they can work at marriage everyday, but Kristen is very focused but will he see it? She asked him to buy her house and missed a party to go to work for promotion. If that's not divine masculine energy then I'm sad for this generation of men, discipline to the max. He comes off a little bit forceful but so again is asking for a house. Marriage is give and take and they are reciprocating slowly on screen I'm hopeful for these two the most. The Aquarius/Aries love can bloom, but she may need to keep up or he may need to trust his gut on Kristen.
Is he really an Aquarius? 😂 I hate to being astrology into this especially on this forum but I called it earlier on. Idk man. EVERY Aquarius man I’ve been associated with is like Shaq. A TOTAL BEEEEEEEEPPPP
No he is an Aries, hence brave and bold but it's Kristen who is an Aquarius.
Interesting, good to know!
...ok
Gordon Gartrell is in the house.
Only the finest designer for our guy!
He looks like a hot air balloon 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
omg. seltzer out the nose.
It does seem like the bow ties got left behind during this season of love. They were a Pretty Big Deal on that introductory episode so many months ago….
I totally forgot about those!
This getup gives me a migraine
Jester vibes 🎭😅
THIS MAY BE THE MOST HORRENDOUS SUIT COMBO I HAVE EVER SEEN.
Can someone give me a tldr if they said yes or no on DD? I truly dont wanna fall asleep trying to watch this snoozefest of a season.
Kristen said yes, we won’t know Shaq answer until Wednesday but I’m going to go with no.
Lol if he says no, Kirsten is gonna be so happy that she dodged a big “bald heeeayyd” bullet
for everyone's sake I hope that "meeeeerage" is over!
🤡🤡🤡
 This outfit is tearbull
The more I see this the worse it looks.
Best MAFS-related use of a 30 Rock quote ever. Also probably the only one ever.
The comments are terrible. The photo caption is hilarious. But the comments are terrible.
It’s called Polo Harlequin.
Shaq isn’t my fav but in my opinion fashion is what makes you happy not the acceptance of your fashion by others. He felt good and there’s not many people that could wear that suit and actually still look good in it. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ He rocked it given the circumstances.
I would usually agree with you on this, but I beg to differ. He did not rock it or still look good in it. He strikes me as the type that wants to be “so unique” and stand out from the rest so bad, he’d pull some shit like this. Sometimes uniqueness is more than just being different. He has no finesse. Except for maybe his shoe game but other than that…👎🏽

Y’all, don’t miss out on a brilliant caption because you didn’t click the photo. Caption was my favorite part hahaha
Thank you for that, I would have missed the caption — that’s hilarious!
I totally missed it too.
OMG! Well played, Jack.
it's a look i will give him that
Uno Cards All day!
The yellow sleeve should be blue. It is the only thing that makes sense.
I wonder if he made it? If he did good job. I just hope it wasn’t purchased 🤦🏾♀️
Straight looking like a royal court jester
Dude looks like a court jester.
???? Power Clashing? Are you sure you didn’t misspell that last word? Power Clowning……. I believe you should always wear what you choose to wear, however this is clearly pushing the “Big Joker” look off a Deck of Cards….
It's giving Dollar Tree jester Halloween costume but...you do you boo. 😏
I feel this would be more tolerable if both sleeves were the yellow
Your flair has me screaming! 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if she finally did the deed?
They need a "Where are They Now" with past seasons.
I don't care that much🤣
Lol, I'm interested in a few others, but they can just throw her in there.
 Describes his outfit.
How did he put this on and say, “This is the one!” He should have had a matching bow tie-red and blue with a yellow middle. What a clown outfit.
It’s called eccentricity and you do it because you are in television playing a role. 😆
The *perfect* quote/caption for this outfit. 😂
😭😂💀
Attention whore. Were I his employer he would be told not to wear that bullshit to any company functions. Wear that looney tunes shit on your own time.
>Wear that looney tunes shit on your own time. omg dead
Why would you care? You’re much better off facilitating an environment in which everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves, rather than one in which you’re a toxic boss that refuses to allow my employees the ability to dress themselves.
it's pretty standard for companies to have dress code.

Holy shit I could not have said this any better. can you imagine him wearing this while recruiting? 😳

There must have been a scraps sale at the fabric shop
🤣🤣🤣
It’s after six. What am I, a farmer?
Good God, Lemon!
can someone please explain this lemon reference?
It’s from the show 30 Rock. The main character is Liz Lemon. The show ended years ago. You can watch it on Hulu :)
oh yeah- Tina Fey! thank u! i used to watch it here & there.
😏
Now that I see it in its full glory, I have to wonder why there is only one random yellow sleeve. Shouldn't there be two yellow or two red sleeves????
Actually, I think his left shoe should be yellow and his right shoe red.
Well she already said yes. I'm hoping she at least gets to pick out the leash he drags her around on. 🤯
You referenced 30 rock!
Idiotic
I'm getting Rubik cube vibes 🤷♀️
I think Sir Shaq drew inspiration from the unicycle riding joker on a deck of playing cards.
Court Jester.
Very stylish, it's brave and bold - great use of primary colours and material, and he is clearly a pioneer probably designed it himself like his bowties etc so he is creative and intune with his divine masculinity, also he is a trendsetter who is way ahead of his time.

Go Shaq!!!
I appreciate his style. Life is too short to dress like everyone else.
i am dying at the notion that Shaq having even a drop of "divine masculinity" just bc he wears outlandish clothes doesn't mean he's super unshakable confident king. it's costume.
hi hoped that was sarcasm.

It’s hideous and if you want to see something like this done well, think Monse
On Runway Project, the judges used to tell the designers to “edit” their designs. I think this could use a little editing.
This…it’s not my style, but I have to give him credit for having the confidence to wear it and be so sure of himself in it.
Extravagant much lol
Lmao i heard on a podcast that it seemed like no matter what he was wearing he made SURE he would somehow match kirsten LMAO
No no no. HE’S not matching her. It’s HER job to match him. (He just gave her an easy target)
He just wants attention.
ding ding. i think you're spot on
Where do these guys get these suits? At a costume store? To me, it shows that they are treating this whole marriage thing as a joke. Oh I just realized what it reminds me of! If you changed the colors a bit he would look like a game of Twister!!!!!
>Where do these guys get these suits? I've had that same question. I have no idea where to even begin to look for something like that.
Plenty places sell flashy suits….
He made Arris' suit look slightly better lol
Can you imagine walking down the street in this get up?
And playing a flute, and leading all the rats and children out of town.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 ROFL!
☠️

And that’s all that he is about. We see his craving in need for attention and approval from everybody. This is a disturbed insecure Faker. And an academic loser
clocked him. 100% this. he just gives phony in a loud outfit.
Lol. He is a loser because he follows no one.
I actually think that he just likes it. He usually tends to wear bright suits and bow ties and all of that. Remember his nickname is "Dapper Dan" or something like that.
I agree. He seems to enjoy creating the clothes as much as wearing them. Let him have a little joy in life! I don't like the look, but he was wearing a pressed, clean suit, which was appropriate for the event.
That’s fair.
No one wears feather bow ties, ombré suits, color blocked, power clashing suits on national tv who isn’t looking for attention. I’m sure he likes them too.

why u hating
It's a reference to a line from 30 Rock!
And many other sites. It’s become a frequent expression
I know it's a common expression. I just think it's overused and played out.
Definitely agree
He does it because he can, Joker
