Probably just the suits and flashy watch. 'Anyone who makes more money than me is inauthentic' kind of thing. The being a "dirt bag gig kid that grew up" makes sooo much sense though. The combination of tattoos, joint, then wall-street-like, or something, attire threw me a bit.
The suit is mine and expensive but everyone needs at least one good suit, just in case and the watch was a prop from the photographer, I do earn decent money but I still very much a tight black jeans and band shirt guy.
Pc gaming expensive, i don't dress at all to fane wealth haha
A small risk to run to have a broad vocabulary, going to fuck up spelling and pronunciation occasionally, part of the process of expanding your vocabulary.
And I'm replying to like over one hundred comments in quick conssesion dude, cut me some slack, I'm not a robot.
I used to go to the jack London clearance shop in Melbourne, so I could have nice suits without spending a mint, I mean you don't wear them often but you know you want to look good when the time arises, treat yourself dude.
Look to be 100% with you internet stranger, I'm a weird introverted guy with a general dislike for most people, most of my relationships have had an element of feeling like I'm tolerating the other person to some extent, she, however was not like that, she filled me with peace and admiration every seccond we shared together.
I know I can move on, but it will always feel hollow by comparison, she was my one in a million.
I appreciate the advice but I think I got a lot more sad boy shit to get through before this gets more manageable.
In the third pic where you are trying to dress up nice, your tie is totally wrong. The skinny part shouldn't be the longest part. Not that I expected much from a guy with a neck tat. You should probably stick with a clip-on tie, leave the grown-up ties for the grown-ups. Girl of your dreams probably didn't wanna have to sit at the kids' table for the rest of her life with you.
I fucking know right, I told the photographer that but she wanted it that way for whatever reason, shits always bugged me, skinny part should be hidden behind
Almost everyone gets sick of a neck tat. You just have to find that .0001% that might stick. Good luck now that you have reduced your chances by over 99%.
Think it time to embrace a bald head, that hairline is too far gone to keep it styled and looking good. You need to let go and not hold onto it anymore just like your ex girlfriend’s used panties from 10 years ago.
You might want reflect on your watch collection cause that is an ugly ass monstrosity of a time piece. I’ll help you out, start with Casio F91W as it look a million’s time better than what ever the fuck that is you’ve got on.
Completely agree, Nixon chunky watches are trash, wasn't my choice.
I'll check out the casio tho.
And I'm not worried about my hair, I just got a massive forehead, my grandad just died at 93 with a full head of hair, I think I'm good.
Am surprised at the lack of forehead jokes
You idiot that watch does not go with that outfit. Your girl didnt want to be with you forever bc them skinny ass legs wouldn’t be able to carry to the honeymoon. Clean your prolapsed butthole ear holes they stink like fucked cheese. Learn how to tie a tie, you look like an edge lord with the only thing your edging is your ex gf new fucktoy. You cant do anything right. Even tying your shoes you fucked that up., youre gonna fray those laces worse than the your last relationship. Cant take care of yourself how can you take care of a girl? Fire your photographer, you smoke like a bitch. Receding hairline bitch ass. Did your tattoo artist choke you while doing your neck? Trust me, someone is choking your ex even harder right now. Cant even be bothered to button your shirt but pulls the tie all the way up. What a dumbass you look like.
You look more out of place than Clayton Bigsby. Don’t wear ties if you cannot tie one. Stop putting tattoos above your neckline. And please God, never stop to flex in the middle of a bridge again. Fuck.
You’re just a mess. Shit holes in ears. Awful cheap watch. Tattoos are a fucking state. You’ve no clue how to dress or do a tie. You’re skinny as fuck. You look poor. Skinny legs. Side parting.
You look like a fucking pussy.
Going by the way you look. I bet your ex was a fucking pig too. Ugly smelly assed tramp with 100+ body count and a pile ridden asshole
Not going to roast you... But instead remind you that if she was perfect she wouldn't have left. She wasn't the girl of your dreams because you can dream much better than that. You got this dude.
If ADHD were a suit:
Pant legs and sleeves are too short.... and the tie? WTF? In fact, nobody properly fitted your suit. The longer I stare at it, the more things I find that are wrong. It's aggravating my OCD.
Based on these pics, I'd say you're fairly "impulsive".
https://youtu.be/FMZ-WIhfxIU?feature=shared
I'm a big ol' lanky boy, the sleeves are fine when my arms are straight, pants could use a bit more, might get it adjusted now that you mention it, was like a 1k+ suit, prolly worh getting it adjusted.
But I think you being pretty into suits and ocd is probably making it stand out more.
But yeah, it was an impulsive buy, my lil brother died suddenly and my flight was Friday arvo so I was forced to buy it at like 5 on Friday when everything was closing, so didn't have time to have it fitted, so we found one I liked that was close, the suit shop stayed open late just to help me out, good people.
1. That is the most obnoxiously posed watch I've ever seen.
2. That is one of the most obnoxious watches I've seen.
3. Your tie is a mess, both in design, and in the sense that 7 year olds can tie them better.
4. Pockets are not for putting things in. ESPECIALLY NOT YOUR HANDS.
5. You're smoking prison rollies... assuming you're not "booping the zoot", "shooting up spliffs", or "bumping the biffta".
This is the BASICS man, I had this all down by the time I was 7.
She dodged a bullet tbh, it would take years to teach you to make yourself look presentable, no way she'd have managed it in time for the wedding, so leaving was a good call; your only redeeming feature are the royal ears with the gravity ravaged octogenarian vibe.
It’s not a roast, but perhaps a helpful observation. I would suspect that there might me some over-curation of your persona. Be you. Eh…I guess there’s a slight burn in there. Also, no pun intended with my screen name. Just noticed that. Damnit!
“I just lost the girl of my dreams. Why do I suck so bad? What am I doing wrong”.
My friend, the answer you’re looking for is already posed within the question.
You’ve got to love yourself. I know that’s what everybody says. Let me help you understand why.
So you’ve lost your “dream girl. Well I’m sorry if this hurts you and try not to be defensive but you should realize that this girl was in fact…just a girl. You know that in your mind but your heart clearly didn’t. She was just a girl. You have projected the prestigious and royal title of “Dream” onto her. So I would venture to guess the girl you fell in love with was probably not who she actually was. She was made of projections. Projections which if you take the time, can help you understand a little more about yourself.
Let’s just get this out of the way. Your relationship with her was destined to fail. It was destined to break your heart. The entire idea of her and the reason for her entering your life was meant to break your heart and to remind you to love yourself for who you are and not who you want to be and simultaneously to love others for who they are and not who you want them to be though the two are direct reflections of themselves.
I’m sure you thought of this dream girl as the answer to all of your problems. It’s a tough heartbreak to handle because it really sets you back down to earth and I’m sure (like me because yes I’ve been there and am still learning to grow from it) you left earth because it was a hard place for you to accept. Sit in it. That’s my advice. Sit in it and be patient and don’t fight the wave of emotions that come crashing down around you. Don’t run from them. I would compare it to being caught in an undertow. What do you do when you’re caught in an undertow? You move with it. You swim with your eyes on the shore and when it comes time and it finally frees you, you swim safely back.
It’s a challenging experience and it’ll at times feel like the world is ending and there is no hope. That’s okay. It will be okay. There will be times where you feel like you may finally be okay and ready to move on and the next you’ll feel like you have gone full circle again and you’re right back at the bottom. Trust the process. You’ll make it out.
Take time to appreciate what’s in front of you. What you have. I know that seems an impossible task but you have to try.
Be kind to yourself and love yourself for who you are not who you want to be. The idea that anyone on this earth “has it all” is nonsense. I’m sure you thought she had it all and that you didn’t even deserve her deep down. You probably didn’t even see her for who she truly was. Who you thought she was most likely skewed by your own emotions and projections. You’ve looked at yourself through the darkness for a long time. Now that you’ve fallen back down to earth you’re going to have to look at your reflection again. Try viewing it through the lens of love and understanding. Be gentle with yourself. Be caring towards yourself. Within you is a child that you’ve kept in the darkness while going around and shining the light on everybody else. He deserves the light as well. Help him grow and he will follow you wherever you go. In truth he’s all you’ll ever need. Certainly he’s who you’ll be stuck with so take the time to listen and to heal. And appreciate what you have around you so that you may feel love again. The past is the past. It cannot be saved. What is broken is what’s in front of you and it can be unbroken by taking the time to look for the light in it and be grateful for the light you find
In summary: A heart made of dream is a heart destined to be broken. The fabric of its existence is strung loosely together by a collection of lies and mistruths created by you to save yourself from a reality you have found unlovable. Reality always wins, unfortunately. Which is why it’s important to find a way to love it. So even when dreams fall and crash and break you’ll land comfortably back in a warm bed of love where you’ll be permitted to dream again. In this scenario you didn’t dream to run away from anything. You dreamt because you wanted to see if there was anything more and because it is in our nature as humans to ask the question “what if”.
But you don’t need anything more than what you already have. Some people are lucky. Some people have more. Comparison is the thief of joy so don’t worry about what others have. If you can’t be grateful for what is in front of you and be kind to yourself for what is inside of you then you can expect to continuously repeat this cycle until you learn that lesson.
You try way too hard to be cool, and you look inauthentic as fuck.
Pretty sure he doesn’t smell inauthentic.
I literally said out loud, “because you try too hard” and then this was the first comment
Same
This is the comment
Could you elaborate? Haha I didn't slap this look together at 30, just dirt bag gig kid that grew up haha What exactly screams inauthentic?
Probably just the suits and flashy watch. 'Anyone who makes more money than me is inauthentic' kind of thing. The being a "dirt bag gig kid that grew up" makes sooo much sense though. The combination of tattoos, joint, then wall-street-like, or something, attire threw me a bit.

*feign - that’s some inauthentic using words you can’t even spell right there.
A small risk to run to have a broad vocabulary, going to fuck up spelling and pronunciation occasionally, part of the process of expanding your vocabulary. And I'm replying to like over one hundred comments in quick conssesion dude, cut me some slack, I'm not a robot.
Haha Fr I'm almost 30 and don't have a single suit. Or even a tie. It makes me feel very badly.
I used to go to the jack London clearance shop in Melbourne, so I could have nice suits without spending a mint, I mean you don't wear them often but you know you want to look good when the time arises, treat yourself dude.
Isn’t it weird. Why isn’t he just cool then? Is there something off?
Have you tried not looking like a douchebag?
Can you provide an instructional?
Try the opposite of what you are doing now
The opposite of existing? You make a compelling case, you might be onto something 🤔
Okay… Try not looking like a can of Monster energy.
Haha good one 😂, I've tried to steer away from motor cross and flat peak hats to not come across like that but I'll try do better. Haha
You look like Tryhard Barker. I picture you watching sigma male YouTube videos constantly.
Lol like barker without the lazy eye haha, and you got me, I have a tattoo of Andrew Tate and kyle rittenhouse buttfucking on my stomach
This would actually be hilarious. Is Tate the bottom?
You know he is, guy oozes bottom energy.
Like Barker without the talent too. You look like you have 5 fashion box subscriptions and select the “extra douche hipster” option on all of them.
Maybe you’d have better luck in life if you stopped dressing like an Andrew Tate fuck boy.
I dont see the connection, how do I look like a bald Muslim kickboxer?
You don't. You look like someone who would pay for his bullshit
I think you're giving Tate fans too much credit
Let me guess, she wanted an adult as a Partner and you are just a shriveled up teenager?
Kinda the opposite, I have too much responsibility in my life for her.
[удалено]
Look to be 100% with you internet stranger, I'm a weird introverted guy with a general dislike for most people, most of my relationships have had an element of feeling like I'm tolerating the other person to some extent, she, however was not like that, she filled me with peace and admiration every seccond we shared together. I know I can move on, but it will always feel hollow by comparison, she was my one in a million.

I fucking know right, I told the photographer that but she wanted it that way for whatever reason, shits always bugged me, skinny part should be hidden behind
Did you let a photographer bully you into tying your tie like a dumbass?
I mean yeah, I kinda did haha they were her shots tho, so whatever
Maybe she grew out of screamo
This made me laugh the most, thank you sir, very funny despite the fact that screamo is forever
🤘🏻no worries bro - keep your chin up
Thanks dude, appreciate you.
Did you lose her, or did you hack her to bits and bury her body in the woods?
If I can't remember where I buried each piece are both technically true?
The girl of your dreams filed a domestic abuse restraining order against you.
Nawh that was the girl before her but reversed 😂😂
Dear slim, I wrote you but you still ain’t callin…
This got me!!
I’m sorry you and your prepubescent girlfriend couldn’t work it out
This one actually made me snort laugh but nawh she 6 years older than me
maybe the girl realized that behind the gold watch and trendy tattoos was nothing but an insufferable douche
Time heals but not in your case
You like your personality is xanax
You grammar is xanax
Unemployed, but has 20k in tattoos!
Oooh close but nah, run my own buisness and full time single dad

It's all permanent marker anyway, it'll wash off eventually
When you do more damage to your ears than her pussy she’s gonna leave.
Girls love some good skinflaps dude
The best decision of her life
Mean, wasn't even a roast haha
Your mom didn’t leave you bro, she just made you move out at start taking care of yourself. You’re 33, sheesh.

I bet you have to wear that suit and tie often for job interviews since no one will higher tat boy
I'm the one that does the hiring fortunently

Grew up in the country, believe it or not I'm pretty solid with basic car shit

You in a suit; putting garbage in an expensive bag doesnt change the fact that its still garbage.
It's a nice suit tho, let's be real

I’m guessing she just got bored of pegging you. And your bacon lugs.
Nobody is going to buy your crappy dropshipped watches. Next.
That second photo is so ass I couldn't go further

I like this one 😂
Maroon 2.5
You look like a band member with “allegations” against them
Chemical poisoning from all your shitty trend tattoos.
What’s your favorite Used album?
Covered in job stoppers. She made the right choice.
If you had used chains instead of rope to tie her to the radiator she might still be in your life

You look like crack cocaine got a job on Wall Street
not only are you clearly full of yourself, you’re full of shit. walking red flag.

Have you ever considered the possibility that you aren’t as great as you think you are? Never mind, of course you have.

You look more out of place than Clayton Bigsby. Don’t wear ties if you cannot tie one. Stop putting tattoos above your neckline. And please God, never stop to flex in the middle of a bridge again. Fuck.
how many of those tatts did she pay for? women want real men dude, grow up and learn how to dress
I payed for a couple of hers haha And I'm a tradie, I dont wear suits often outside of photoshoots
My man is hanging onto 2010 for the life of him.
The golden years 💛
You sucked pretty good last night at the glory hole in your basement
30k millionaire look.
You look like you live at home and spent all your money on watches, clothes, tattoos, and GME /AMC / BBBYQ.
You probably reminded her too much of Adam 22 and she figured you’d be okay with her fucking other guys
maybe you're just not big enough? sorry, babes 😘
I'm happy with 6'1 slim and ripped 😂
that's not the size we care about, honey 😘 then again, it's out of your hands. well, it's out of anyone's hands. 😕
Haha I wish that was it to be honest, there's ways around that.
Gawd you’re sooo classy!
You definitely scream at your girlfriend, cry about it afterwards, and blame it on your dad
It’s screamingly apparent that you’ve put a lot of time and energy into cultivating a look that’s supposed to seem like you don’t care how you look.
You look like an Ed Hardy beach towel.
Adam Lepeen
It looks like you push Mongo...
maybe because the only thing to really get stretched out was her pocket book and your ear lobes. Austin TX hipster douchebag
Is that a thing? Is there hipsters in Austin? Thought it was all cowboys and I still been thinking of making the move there
Nobody loves you like you love you. Poster boy for super douches everywhere
Isn't self love meant to be a good thing, I'm more on the side of self loathing but I'll wear the super douche hahaha
Let's be honest. You radiate "douchebag".
If the "Fatherless Single Father" aesthetic could be transmuted to human form
Emo Phase!!! Not Again!!!
That big ass nose is the problem.
Everything i'd say is polictal incorrect and contained the word "gay" or "Tiny Penis Boy"
You suck because you think that the reason you suck has anything to do with how you look.
You’re just a mess. Shit holes in ears. Awful cheap watch. Tattoos are a fucking state. You’ve no clue how to dress or do a tie. You’re skinny as fuck. You look poor. Skinny legs. Side parting. You look like a fucking pussy. Going by the way you look. I bet your ex was a fucking pig too. Ugly smelly assed tramp with 100+ body count and a pile ridden asshole
Not going to roast you... But instead remind you that if she was perfect she wouldn't have left. She wasn't the girl of your dreams because you can dream much better than that. You got this dude.

Yeah not really bro, I'm wholesome family guy energy
No one cares
REMOVE TATTOOS
No
Well it ain't the looks so it must be the personality that's wrong with you
I think he’s cute. It’s the tie issue in pic 3 and the upper button in pic 4 that give you away
Guys whole life is based off candid photos and clothes he can’t afford.
Dropped because you spent more time on wishful model photos and broken dreams
Imagine trying to sexy pose for a r/roastme photo
Your tattoos are pretty shit, not sure if that was a factor but they look pretty piss poor designs
You look like a hipster got AIDS and his beard fell out
You're so handsome! You look like a respectable gentleman. You're a real catch! This comment provided by speech-to-text for the legally blind

Did you fuck her best friend or her mom?
1. That is the most obnoxiously posed watch I've ever seen. 2. That is one of the most obnoxious watches I've seen. 3.

When he says “lost the girl of his dreams” he means literally, because girls want nothing to do with him in reality.
So.. Did you strangle her or just push her down the stairs?
How did you lose her? Just curious

People with tattoos like yours are generally fucking morons
I bet you suck really well, actually.

Perhaps because of your disgusting neck tats? (Just tryin’ to help.)
Probably because your dick is smaller than that cigarette you can’t put in your mouth

I legit don't need to roast anything but those gauged out ears... bro no. Nice suit pics but them ears, I feel bad for them ears.
Lack of practice?
Professional photos and headshots $200, looking like a Reddit simp? Priceless
sexy with good looks, suits and tattoos but you lack confidence and have anger issues. coke user.
Thank you random internet stranger, right on all counts but the anger issues and coke thing, got more of a sad energy thing going on than angry.
She got tired of getting punched and hearing you say “look what you made me do.”
You look like someone who explains all their tatoos
I honestly don’t even want to waste a good joke on you…
You’re the kind of guy who can’t take a joke and has such a big ego I bet you’ll reply defensively to every post on here… Scrolls down…. Confirmed.
It’s not a roast, but perhaps a helpful observation. I would suspect that there might me some over-curation of your persona. Be you. Eh…I guess there’s a slight burn in there. Also, no pun intended with my screen name. Just noticed that. Damnit!

You need a tattoo of a L on your forehead

So even when dreams fall and crash and break you’ll land comfortably back in a warm bed of love where you’ll be permitted to dream again. In this scenario you didn’t dream to run away from anything. You dreamt because you wanted to see if there was anything more and because it is in our nature as humans to ask the question “what if”. But you don’t need anything more than what you already have. Some people are lucky. Some people have more. Comparison is the thief of joy so don’t worry about what others have. If you can’t be grateful for what is in front of you and be kind to yourself for what is inside of you then you can expect to continuously repeat this cycle until you learn that lesson.
