In tyool 2017 it's a common sight to see grown men wearing short pants.

When I was a kid, I don't remember adults wearing flip-flops in public. And if you go back even further, a grown man would have always been wearing a hat, coat, and tie.

It's just another sign of the ongoing moral decay of are society.

I don't see that much. Mind you I'm British and we very rarely get hot weather so.

I tend to see this at the beach but that's about it.

... and they still do depending their job. Take the tie away though and a hat and coat are common things to see folk wear in the UK due to the weather.

I've never liked that the variation of socially acceptable for men is nothing compared to women. But you'll never hear feminists pushing for equality there!

It's humid but temperate so you don't notice until at peak summer or winter.

I wear sweat pants, swim trunks, shorts etc. Whatever is comfy. I don't give any ***** about how I look to other people really. I should. I should even be dating/flirting etc, but honestly it's too much effort and people like me just fine anyway.

So why bother.

Prob something like that is going around with others as well. I have heard alot of guys are less...............motivated....to date (around the world, not just in the US), as well.

That wasn't always a main motivation of course, but it was part of it, and guys would just dress casual etc when hanging with other guys, dressing up to impress the girls etc.

Girls are often more...aggressive....at least where I live, and often do not want to date or want open relationships/poly etc. Many of my 20-40 year old friends have been complaining about that in the last few years in fact.

So yeah, I have certainly noticed a trend. People in general, but especially guys seem to be dressing down or more casually. Don't really think it's a bad thing, but then again, like I said, I just don't give a **** anymore.

I don't think it's because they don't care. It might just because of changing fashion. And being comfortable. I know I probably wouldn't be swayed to date a guy just because they were wearing a coat, hat, & tie. And the same with a lot of my friends(girls and guys). And most guys know that. At least in the areas I've been in. I think it's just that how people dress changes over time and this is where we are now. I see nothing wrong with not dressing up all the time. People will dress up when they need to (and when they want in some cases), but it's not always needed...

On average, there's much less need to look professional these days. And casual wear wasn't really a thing; it still typically consisted of a collared shirt. There are more options now, so suits seem to be noticeably stuffier in comparison. Not to mention that for better or worse, people were expected to "grow up" much sooner in the past, so nowadays guys may be subconsciously apprehensive of donning a fully grown-up persona.

And if we're talking about morals, people were generally much more racist and sexist in the past. People who glorify those days tend to gloss over that fact.

Wrong. Just plain wrong. Slavery was accepted back in 1615. That is far worse than anything that is accepted in society today.

Heck, even women were treated as property back then. Women didn't get equal rights until the early 1900s.

The "good old days" were only good if you were a heterosexual white male.

People who talk about the "good old days" as being so much better than today are completely ignorant of actual history.
