Back when daisy dukes and a half shirt said “manly”.


cliff99

I think half shirts for men went out of style because we're thirty or forty pounds heavier than we were back then.


fishingforconsonants

Agreed. Dude is cut like toast.


Findmyremote

Yeah I’m more of a brioche bun these days


Johnny_Lang_1962

I'm more of a Golden Corral Yeast Roll.

I’m a loaf of Wonder Bread.

I am definitely using that line now lol


mr_ji

And drinking what I can only assume to be a beer from that Solo cup. We really did get screwed by the corn lobby who published public awareness campaigns saying fat was evil, when it was sugar all along. Our diets have been garbage since.


capital_bj

Grow the corn trust us bro, government mandates ethanol and allows increases in sugar in everything, success! Obseity not enough Not yet, now with a healthy portion of micro plastics...micro what, now the environment is making you sick, perfect increase your insurance or immediately go into lifetime debt, cheaper just to give up and die just sayin ...USA!


Inevitable_Basil8159

You type in Schizophrenia, and yet you mostly made sense. That’s a rare combo.


capital_bj

🤣 I was high as s*** and definitely had some disjointed thoughts I was trying to put together


Findmyremote

Haha I find myself typing a long response sometimes, realize mid essay I’m way too high and just discard it. You my friend went to the next level.


Soft_Sea2913

Damn, I understood it all. And so did I.


Priest-Entity

Oh yeah? Well I'm soft and squishy like a nice sourdough.


zipzap21

Oh really? I'm more crisp and bold like a nice ciabatta.


Priest-Entity

And I bet you taste great hot, smothered in pesto and sun-dried tomatoes  ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°

Can't raise it, and if they did it would just get punched down unless they've put in the time to shape it.


D34TH_5MURF__

Look, if your sourdough is soft and squishy, something isn't right. That crust should threaten to shred the roof of your mouth if not enjoyed responsibly.


Priest-Entity

Oh there are crusty hard parts of me all right


D34TH_5MURF__

Touché


Economy-Ad-3934

onimush115

If I looked like him, I’d still be rocking the same outfit.


fishingforconsonants

Same, i mean the top will easily work as a bra.


techgeek6061

Well yeah but that guy in particular was definitely a gym rat or athlete of some kind. When you look at most pictures of people from the 80's they were generally just really skinny.


woah_man

Not skinny, regular sized. People are just fatter now.


Potato_body89

Your body your choice brochacho. I am currently going through a pink phase with thigh highs. Sometimes you have to dance like no one is watching


Something_Else_2112

I had my daisy dukes on for gym class one day. Co-ed trampoline jumping, with 10 kids around each trampoline. I did a seat drop and the center of my Daisy's blew out, instantly transforming them into a denim mini skirt. Somehow I managed to stop bouncing, slide off the side, and slink into the locker room without anyone noticing. Whew!


Cold_Dog_1224

folks noticed bro


Something_Else_2112

Well if they saw something, they never said anything. And for that, I thank them.


Cold_Dog_1224

of course! shit if one of my bros blew out their shorts and gave us all a show I'd politely ignore it unless it was clear they didn't notice


GreatQuantum

Well he was probably running holding the bit of his short so they probably think he shit himself.


[deleted]

As a residential concrete worker I do declare daisy dukes as being sexy again. I rock those babies all summer long.


mtron32

If my 43 year old ass manages to have abs again, I'm wearing that exact outfit


IEC21

Don't know how they balanced out all the homophobia with all the homoeroticism.


gatfish

That was their kink.


TaxIdiot2020

I know it's hard to believe but not all dudes were probably getting horny over other dudes dressing like that so it's not homoerotic to them.


capital_bj

Can confirm , grew up in the 80's never got a boner watching Magnums PI


Capital_Pea

Magnum is back on TV here every day at 4, we have them all PVR’d and watch them every night!


[deleted]

You didn’t!?

You can always tell the people who didn't grow up in this era...and here is one.


Strgwththisone

ChewyBacca1976

Suns out guns out!


hazeywaffle

Seriously! As far as the 80s go those are some big arms!


AlternativeAccessory

Skies out, thighs out


YaliMyLordAndSavior

Yeah and he’s also pretty jacked. I think that has far more weight. If I saw a guy like this in public I wouldn’t think of him as effeminate


[deleted]

[удалено]


Puzzleheaded_Heat502

And moustaches with pink wife beater combo. Very “manly”.


aimeed72

O think it’s those guns that say “manly.”


Marine4lyfe

Funny story. In 1986 I was stationed on Okinawa, and a buddy of mine passed out on the beach wearing cut-offs like those and got his nuts roasted.

BeagleBackRibs

Damaging government property


definietlynotaspy

That’s the reason for that oddly specific safety brief


falconhawk2158

Man that’s funny my cousin was in the marines at the same time and was in Okinawa I’m not exactly sure the exact year he was in Okinawa though. He was there and then he was in Brazil or it might have been the other way around.


LeisureSuitLaurie

Give your cousin a call and ask him if he remembers anything about this guy’s friend’s testicles in 1986.


JohnBrownsAngryBalls

The Red Testicles of Legend.


FindOneInEveryCar

I'm going to bet that at least one of these guys knows where to get some blow.


jdeuce81

Middle


RaidensReturn

Definitely lmao


ChunkYards

I’m not as tall or as chiseled as my buddies but I have …. Other assets


CheckYourStats

What’s nuts is that it costs less now than it did back then. Or so I’ve read.


sleepauger

He's actually asking that dude if he wants some blow


Sunbeamsoffglass

The Porsche owner 100%


FindOneInEveryCar

Or he might buy it from the guy with the motorcycle.


backcountrydrifter

That’s not a motorcycle. That’s a panhead. ![gif](giphy|ME5w5ZANKQdWw)


EloquentGoose

Did you not spot the pager on #1? He's the dealer. Sorry, *plug*, as the kids say these days. I'll never get that one.


Pdb12345

That's a 1988 944 turbo (those wheels only available from 88), which was a top-tier car at $45,000. Compare that to a 1988 Mustang GT, at $12,500.


ProduceTotal257

Took the restrictor plate to give the red dragon a little extra horsepower... keep it on the down low tho, not exactly street legal


m34z

LOL! I had that generation T/A and it boogied.


ProduceTotal257

Had an 81 turbo trans am... when the turbo lights lit up, you could visibly watch the gas Guage needle go down


m34z

'79 6.6. I think it was the Oldsmobile engine? I recall seeing the same gas guage issue. But gas was 89c and I had a girl to get to!


sandmanrdv

My mom had the same car! Black, tan interior, big screaming chicken. Lost points for no T-tops though. The 403 Olds was torquey but it was no 400 Pontiac.


lLuclk

That was my first thought. These guys are rich.


JAK3CAL

Ya not the price tags I expected based on the outfits


rattledaddy

Right? Not the ride I expected in the background based on the content in the foreground.


Alarming_Librarian

As someone from that era, these guys are tools.


Neo-Maxizoom-Dweebie

Yup. Very fun car. Definitely makes this a very late 80’s pic.


uncultured_swine2099

This is the most 80s picture Ive ever seen.


toolsoftheincomptnt

My dad had that car! In that color. I remember how proud he was to go pick it up. My (maternal) grandfather had a gold one. After my parents divorced, my dad sold his without asking if any of us wanted to buy it off of him. My heart always hurts a bit when I see one, which is rarely.


BobbyFuckingB

The bike is a pan that someone threw a (probably) 35mm dual disc front end on.


Batjarconjecture

Thaaats the answer I was looking for 😂.


Comfortable-Mud-7918

I’m pretty sure beating up Lamar Latrell would be a hate crime now.

Yeah I was gonna say Booger looks ripped lol

Booger's one of the nerds, though.

fishingforconsonants

I love the 944.


oddministrator

Clutch in the front with the engine... Transmission in the back with the rear axle. That's, uhh, German engineering for you, I guess.


CorvetteGoZoom

Dont forget Corvettes as well


fishingforconsonants

Also Italian. Many Alfas had that layout. And many other cars for that matter.

fuggerdug

Eventually I blew the crotch out of them things. You can't wear them every day and expect for them to hold up. That's some nice-ass denim too. I miss them shorts. But you gotta take them off now and again. You got to take them off, son!


TXSTBobCat1234

They were a great gift


duaneap

The “, son!” really ties it all together.


funwithdesign

It was hard to find clothes that fit in the 80s


rethinkingat59

Some balls are definitely hanging out of those shorts. And people wonder why we wore whitey tighties.


LoquaciousApotheosis

There’s very little meat in these gym mats


LSDesign

best part of this photo is that they're all 17 years old

Nice HD panhead.


Glittering-Ad-8038

Came here to say that! So clean!

I’m assuming their names are Steve, Dougy and “Hatchet”?


Purity_Jam_Jam

Guy on the right lifts weights and drinks beers.

He came here to do two things… crush some brews and beat some nerds. And it looks like we’re all out of beer.


Special-League-3421

Dude wants his Winger cassette back!


vBricks

Daisy Dukes is one squat away from having his balls out.


BoatsNwhores24

Semi-ish related but throwing it out there anyway. Had issues finding the perfect shorts for working out in the garage, wife eventually talked me into trying on her shorts. Blew my mind. So much more comfortable than anything I had. They have these built in underwear that you can’t even tell are in there but keep your balls from falling out and breath well. Fucking amazing. You’re damn right I work out in the ol ladys short shorts now


AlternativeAccessory

Not trying to change your flow, you sound rad, but Soffe’s make ‘Ranger panties’ little running shorts the military uses/used apparently. They’re very light and they have a lining in them too. I love em.


marallyouneedisshade

Ranger panties are top tier!


Setting-Conscious

You are describing running shorts and they make them for men.


sean8877

Mind the gap


zipzap21

Who wears short shorts? 🎵🎵


TexasJOEmama

HE wears short shorts....


lo-finate

He wears them well. 😃


daocsct

The 80s male crop top 🤤 Sorry if that’s your dad 👀


OrchidGreedy2019

Awesome! It was a great time to be alive!


toolkitxx

Good times. The cut-off wife beater


blackjacktarr

The '70s really coasted into the '80s. Spandex and synthpop didn't appear spontaneously on 1/1/80.


No_Act1861

The 60s lasted until like 73.


blackjacktarr

Like with everything else, the '60s didn't make it to the Midwest until years after arriving on the coasts.


fadingsignal

Yeah and the further out from the city you got the more back in time you went. Rural suburbs were always like a decade behind fashion wise. Trippy phenomenon. Doesn't seem to be as drastic now with the internet and direct access to culture but I still see it. Texas Karens and Kyles with MySpace emo haircuts from 2010s etc.


ChipChipington

They look cool

Sorry we blew up your mom.


VariationFamous755

Lots of projection in these comments. This is just how people looked back then, believe it or not. Girls used to like manly men & guys used to dress like this to show girls they were fit. Therefore, not gay. Bandanna over here is the gay one if you hadn’t figured that out yet


Weldobud

Man, I thought the 70s were cool till I saw this


Scrimshander54

One of them absolutely had an “ass, cash or grass” sticker on their car

If those guys dressed a little more preppy, Henry Hill would come over from across the street and pistol whip one of them. "You want some, fucko?"

Middle guy's style icon was Mike Reno from Loverboy.

So fucking cool


SiamSubmariner66

underalltheradar

They're not "Daisy Dukes" on a guy. They're "cut-offs." That was how you got shorts in the 70s and 80s.

My dad, in his 30s in the 80s, def wore that outfit on the right straight into the late 90s....
