I opened a Macy's credit card to get a discount on my once a year Macy's shopping trip. I but Polo undershirts and jeans. They apparently sell my address to GQ and I start getting them in the mail. I haven't read GQ in decades.

When did it become little more than men in women's clothes? I understand fashion and know it is often art more than merchandise but WTF?

It all depends on your modern definition of 'Gentlemen'.

TNT009 · 28 November 2021, 03:39 AM

Sad!!

Nothing new. I remember the new age/ new romantic movement when I was a child; men dressing in an effeminate way and wearing makeup. Didn’t bother me then. I grew up straight and as masculine as the next straight man. These magazines have to make money from brands and advertising so they sell their souls.

Magazines are dying.

Now they'll do anything to be provocative. Most fashion in them is basically unwearable by anyone.

This is exactly what they want. Throw a little outrage out there to stir up the masses.

Gab27 · 28 November 2021, 03:59 AM

What exactly is that in the first picture!? Is it a flower robe? A pimp robe? And old pair of floral curtains? What am I looking at?!?!?!

You'd have to be Ric Flair to pull off that first one.

rmagoo57 · 28 November 2021, 04:20 AM

I agree, WTF?!

TheVTCGuy · 28 November 2021, 04:47 AM

Ever since I was featured on the cover they have been losing money

SearChart · 28 November 2021, 04:50 AM

2021 woke movement happened, and we are the angry white men.

Jster · 28 November 2021, 05:00 AM

Just further evidence that real men are nearing extinction.

All this woke talk will have a member or two here have hissy fits, good.

The one in the room I got ready for you? If so, I think it was the room.

The demasculinizing of man continues.

Chewbacca · 28 November 2021, 05:51 AM

As long as it’s exclusive (not off the rack) expensive (money) and only for wealthy people like us (Rolex investors, more wealthy), I’m OK with it.

Besides, we’re pretty much experts with fancy bags, accessories, shoes, mattresses, bed linens, colognes, kitchen ware, and matching jewelry too. Mens dresses are the next step.

MrGoat · 28 November 2021, 05:57 AM

I don’t think they intend the G to stand for what it used to.

You left out fancy pants worn over fancy fur that’s been fluffed out and styled to a fancy sheen…

rlj676 · 28 November 2021, 07:16 AM

If you haven’t noticed nearly all of what used be non-partisan magazines and media have become unbearable garbage pushing agendas like this. It isn’t just the major networks.

The crap I see in my apple news feed from “business insider” and “vogue” blow my mind. Pure trash with no reference to business or fashion or whatever. Also no matter how many thumbs downs I give apple keeps trying to push this shit on me. So I guess I am an angry white man now… but only via their efforts to manipulate us all.

GradyPhilpott · 28 November 2021, 07:29 AM

GQ went woke a long time ago.

This is just next-level.

They're done.

If I'm curious about a coffee machine, cologne, or any random high-end brand, this is actually the first place I look for opinions.

Dr. Robert · 28 November 2021, 07:49 AM

Most of us are out of their demographics. GQ started going after the younger set to compete with FHM & Maxim. 20-35 year old guys with money.

enjoythemusic · 28 November 2021, 08:25 AM

HEY... remember WIRED magazine. Yup, GQ is like that.
