Discussion topics for us cis guys:

  1. It's not weird that I've been wearing the same shirts for the last 15 years
  2. Stop forcing me to do personal hygiene
  3. Nickleback is the best music, hands down
  4. My personality is that I like to play darts at the pub
  5. I don't need to wipe. My body, my choice.
  6. Apologising for making mistakes - that thing that other people like to do.

I can't wait to hear what the cis men have to say about these pressing issues.

      Congratulations! Here's some tips for fitting in with cis dudes: Tell other dudes you're definitely faster than them. Feel awkward about wether to hug, handshake or solidarity. Have very strong emotions about a mid character from a TV show, Wabuffet from Pokemon, Jerry from Seinfeld or Birdperson from Rick and Morty for example. You need to be able to badly rap at least one song and show it off whenever possible. If you're ever in a situation where you're looking for smalltalk: Vague sports comment if they suck, ask a "would you rather" question if they suck less. For other ideas of dudeness search hexbear for "dudes rock"

          You are already a man, so everything you do makes you fit in.. This is just fitting in with a specific type of man.

            Great point. Although I do find humour in enhancing my character by copying weird and harmless traits that are mostly associated with men

              I think I can relate. I'm a man and I like doing masculine-coded things too. It's gender-affirming or something, I don't know the term for it.

      You're also going to need some polo shirts, cargo shorts, and New Balance sneakers. Make sure to slap your knees and say "yep" whenever you stand up from a sitting position.

        Lol those clothing sound very American, idk if I’d blend in that well here on the other side of the Atlantic. The slapping knees is great though I’ll definitely put that to practice

    You've been wearing the same shirts for the last 15 years because you're a boring uncreative cis guy

    I've been wearing the same shirts for the last 15 years because fast fashion disgusts me

    We are the same

    pfft, I have some tshirts that are 20+ years old. I'm gonna toss em and go buy some pre-distressed limited edition streetwear crap from a SoundCloud rapper's cousin Lil Mike Mike for $70 each? no, sir.

    it's called already being cool for the last 20+ years, ever heard of it?

    so the neck line is stretched out all to hell? that's the look for kings like me these days.

    My personality is that I like to play darts at the pub

    Okay I'll unironically defend this. Darts at the pub is one of the greatest joys in life.

      Am I the only one who knows a bunch of drunk old blokes, and all they talk about is darts? Maybe it's just me.

      Darts is fine.

    I've switched to an all uniqlo all black situation to deal with my physically demanding job and I think this might be the stuff I end up wearing for 15 years it's so cozy and theoretically great for crimes
