I Confess. I Am a Boomer Lumbersexual

[MineralMan]

Jeans, boots, plaid shirts and full beard. I had no idea I was trending...I just thought I was an old hippie. Note: The photo below is not me. I am much, much better looking.

1. Rec Green to the max

It's always fun when fashion catches up with practical wear.

2. Too funny!

After years of being ex hippie slobs, we're finally fashionable, not that we've ever given much of a shit.

I'm sitting here in LL Bean jeans, Reebok high tops, an old T-shirt and a thrift shop cardigan that's crummy enough I don't go out the front door in it. If I go to the grocery later, I'll change the T shirt and cardigan to something a little more presentable but that's it.

3. Rep. Sean Duffy, the teabagger from WI thinks he is a lumbersexual but this guy is cuter.

4. I live in Portland...

...so this is a real familiar look to me. Sure, I've seen it more often since the look became fashionable in some circles (that is to say, hipsters...)...but it's also been a common look for guys up here for decades and decades. Always kinda liked it, for all it's almost the polar opposite of my usual kinda goth-y look.

5. Isn't this Lounge material? nt

9. Does that matter to you, Manny?

If so, the alert button is right down there. It's just a light-hearted thread. But, alert if you like.

8. I hope looking like a greasy diesel mechanic is the next sexy thing.

I'm all dialed in.

14. This "widow's peak" of which you speak ...

... does it require hair?

[Tree-Hugger]

10. Holy shit

My 60+ year old hippie dad is on trend!

11. If women don't find you handsome

They should at least find you handy

13. The lumbersexual (hipster male model) in the pic is hefting a splitting maul not an ax. Choppin'

firewood like a boss.

You can tell he's a real lumberjack because of the rubber grip on his ax/maul thingy that was bought at Home Hardware LOL
