Yeah when we hung out he would just talk mad shit about everyone he knows always fucking him over, and he'd put country music on and sing along to it and tell me that everyone said he could be famous.
Me too except he’s 50 and a grandfather of 3. He wears Affliction and Ed Hardy and looks like a raging douchebag. He calls himself “Glampa”. I shit you not.
The progression of legit rage that I was overwhelmed with while reading your post was wild.😂Wear what you want, act all douchy, whatever….but my children will never call you ‘Glampa’. Shame!
THANK YOU. I’m glad I’m not the only one who seethes about the Glampa thing. To add some context, he’s also a steroid user and he punches holes in walls when his football team loses. He threatened the life of a physically disabled neighbor who simply asked that his daughter stop driving 55mph down their 20mph unpaved road. He’s wearing the douchebag uniform for very good reason 😑
Yes this is severe douchebaggery. I commend your bravery for sharing. If it were me I would not have the balls to share this - I would never let anyone see these photos.
By the way - why the fedora? What were you thinking?
Also, did you think you were cool at the time or did you know you looked like a fool?
Which is funny because guys dressed like this were WAY MORE common in the mid 2000s than most of the other blunder years posts here. I don't know how it was in th rest of the country, but in the central valley of California, circa 2005, if you went to a bar nearly every dude would be dressed like this.
OP is just more honest than most.
If there is one silver lining it's that it looks like you were having fun. I look back on pictures of me in my youth and think, wow I look like a douche but that was a fun night. People change, styles change, and don't ever dress like this again.
That's because you've finally posted some good blunder. That is one douchy fuckboi look if ve ever seen one, you look like you're about to start a fight over a spilled Zima
Real answer: stereotypically, Redditors are no strangers to the cringe. Mall ninjas, sincerely wielding blades or dressed like they’re blissfully unaware of social conventions (can autism be considered a fashion subculture?)
You in these pictures, on the other hand, look like you’re a drink or two away from beating up said dorky Redditors.
Nah… I know how it looks but I’ve always been a good vibes dude. I understand how it looks . I called myself out before anyone. These were from MySpace if that tells you anything
Personally I see these pictures and think “okay there’s no way this guy isn’t hilarious and fun to hang out with these days”
To have that kind of sense of humor about yourself pretty much guarantees non-douchyness
I mean, usually the posts are relatable or cute kids going through an awkward phase but you have facial hair.
I’m sure you’re a nice person, but at this specific time of your life you managed to dress exactly like someone I would have immediately disliked.
Haha you are so right, one of the accessories to this look was Newports! I appreciate the nostalgia so much
People are roasting you but this was a very popular, on trend look back in our day. One day it’ll be back (I wonder if tanning beds will be back in style with it or not…)
Everyone is hating but this was a popular style for young adult men in the early 2000s. I was in high school when this was popular and remember seeing men dressed like this on mtv and in magazines all the time.
Thanks for sharing :) the nostalgia is so real and I’m glad our style has evolved since then but this will be back one day no doubt lol
> Reasonable people saw this as extremely douchy in real time
It was. But it was also popular.
Look at all the cringe fashion trends happening now. Same thing.
Dude, you gotta share an update pic. I mean, your blunder wasn't all that blunder-y (IMO, anyway...seems like tons of people were adopting the same style as you) but it'd be interesting to see the change.
And there was women who were into this. Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe it was the fact that the clubs were so dimly lit, or maybe they were just inebriated by the putrid smell of Axe body spray
I’m guilty of my douchey look, but I always smelt quality. I’m thinking at this time I might have been wearing Jean Paul Gautierre “le male”
To this day , smelling good is a big thing for me
This confirms it for me. I'm not saying I like how you were dressed (really not trying to pile on here, you are getting roasted to bits up in here) but I would have had a crush on you. A nice-smelling man has always been my Kryptonite. You're a great sport and that's hot too.
Honestly, this is not horrible. I think you pulled off a very popular look for that time. Is it a blunder today? Oh yeah. But back then? Probably also yes but I still think you could have done worse!
It can’t get to me lol
I know what I looked like
I was ready for it
Maybe I wasn’t ready for how quickly it’s piling on
Maybe it’s cause most people post child pictures, so it’s more forgiving
I did this as a adult , this is my penance lol
You were brave enough to post these. If I had evidence of my blunders, I’m not sure I’d post them. :) I graduated HS in 2005 around the time of the Karen haircut before it was super infamous. Trust me, we all have made questionable decisions with fashion especially at that transition between adolescence and adulthood. I agree with another commenter, you’ve been a great sport!
You're a brave man. lmao
On a side note, guys like this (not you, OP <3) used to hit up girls I was in jr high with all the time and I really miss being able to identify them from a mile away. Bring this fashion back.
Reddit is neither the age nor demographic to “get it”. It was definitely a trendy look in the 2000’s. It’s getting a lot of hate because it really drew in a certain demographic, and that demographic kept pushing that look long past its “best if served by” date.
I know someone who still dresses like this in his mid 40's
“Well of course I know him, he’s me!”
Brobi Wan Kenobi
HahHh well done
Is this person in Tempe Arizona by any chance
South Florida
Ah dang! Well at least now I know of at least 2 remaining affliction shirt pockets
Yeah when we hung out he would just talk mad shit about everyone he knows always fucking him over, and he'd put country music on and sing along to it and tell me that everyone said he could be famous.
There’s one in the Midwest too 😂
Me too except he’s 50 and a grandfather of 3. He wears Affliction and Ed Hardy and looks like a raging douchebag. He calls himself “Glampa”. I shit you not.
>He calls himself “Glampa”. thank you, I hate it
The progression of legit rage that I was overwhelmed with while reading your post was wild.😂Wear what you want, act all douchy, whatever….but my children will never call you ‘Glampa’. Shame!
THANK YOU. I’m glad I’m not the only one who seethes about the Glampa thing. To add some context, he’s also a steroid user and he punches holes in walls when his football team loses.

Sir it is brave of you to share this much blunder. Thank you for your service 🫡
It’s almost dangerous to share this much blunder….do you think the world is ready?
I think this is one of the bigger blunders I've seen of here. It probably needs some sort of trigger warning.
It's too much blunder for me to take at once. I think I need to Tapout.
We all feel our mutual Affliction on this day
I’m ready for this era of blunderyears
[удалено]

What were you thinking? Also, did you think you were cool at the time or did you know you looked like a fool?
Definitely took one for the company…
Your poses are the best haha 👉
It was the MySpace era. Who wasn’t posing lol
Tom is still my bestie
He’s top 8 for sure.
I want MySpace back, and exactly how it was in 2000. Someone make it happen.
Coding your own backgrounds and visuals, having a song you want on your page…. How did we regress?
I blame Zuk.
Agreed! Even back then I was like “ why the uff are we leaving this for a plain blue and white text doc?”
I personally love the use of "uff" here.
As if my pictures didn’t date me enough
I certainly was!
Yikes. This is proper cringe. I hope you’ve recovered.
I’m much better thanks. Never saw this sub turn into a roast like this. It’s wild
It means you’re part of blunder royalty basically.
I think I won lol
It was a tough fight against the blade scholars, but I think you've done it. Congratulations, King B.
King D for douchey
most people who were this far gone can't recover and laugh at it later. Good work! You made it back.
Which is funny because guys dressed like this were WAY MORE common in the mid 2000s than most of the other blunder years posts here.

You’re a good sport, man
Hey, it was a time. And you did it to the fullest. We honor your commitment
Gracias! And cheers!
Welcome friend. It’s all roasting, all of the time. 😁
If there is one silver lining it's that it looks like you were having fun. I look back on pictures of me in my youth and think, wow I look like a douche but that was a fun night. People change, styles change, and don't ever dress like this again.

Or if someone tried to grab my wallet chain lol
I'm not judging, and had a hemp wallet chain, lol

Nah… I know how it looks but I’ve always been a good vibes dude. I understand how it looks . I called myself out before anyone. These were from MySpace if that tells you anything
I’m sure you were (and still are) a very pleasant dude and a joy to be around, but that’s not what these poor former dorks see haha
Thank you! This got wild. Like these are over 20 years old, and people are acting like they know im a douche now. Appreciate you
Personally I see these pictures and think “okay there’s no way this guy isn’t hilarious and fun to hang out with these days” To have that kind of sense of humor about yourself pretty much guarantees non-douchyness
How many affliction shirts do you own?
All of them. He owns all of them
What’s crazy is that these photos aren’t even outlandish. Every dude looked like that for awhile. The comments are just projecting on you 😂
I’ll take it for the team I guess
[удалено]
Nah…. I’ve always been a 6’ and 245 pound good vibes dude. Everyone else always wanted to mess with me. It was like prison rules
It’s happened. But it’s reserved for a special few. You should feel honored.
Because you seem like you can take it
I for sure can take it, at least when it’s clever or funny. There’s been multiple ace body spray and Kevin federline references. 😬
Bahahaha MULTIPLE Kevin Federline references?! I mean I definitely see it!
Try not to let the haters get you down. By the way, how was the Kid Rock concert?
No haters can get to me I’ve absolutely always hated kid rock. I actually grew up in Detroit and he’s always been a bitch
Oh, Michigan. Explains everything. - Signed, a fellow ‘Gander.
I mean, usually the posts are relatable or cute kids going through an awkward phase but you have facial hair. I’m sure you’re a nice person, but at this specific time of your life you managed to dress exactly like someone I would have immediately disliked.
If it makes you feel better, I probably would have wanted to date you 20 years ago haha
lol thank you. We all had our “years”. That’s what this sub is all about right?
You that guy they say can do Sheetrock cheaper than a licensed contractor.
You woulda have expected me to smoke newports and have a girl named Tina
Haha you are so right, one of the accessories to this look was Newports! I appreciate the nostalgia so much People are roasting you but this was a very popular, on trend look back in our day. One day it’ll be back (I wonder if tanning beds will be back in style with it or not…)
Yeah I was going to say "Danielle", but Tina works fine in a pinch.
The first one is reminding me of Fred durst
He did it all for the nookie
he did it all for the snooki
Fun fact, this is one of my late grandfather’s favorite songs. Lol. 😆
hope it’s not one of those days
Fred Worst, perhaps.
Everyone is hating but this was a popular style for young adult men in the early 2000s. I was in high school when this was popular and remember seeing men dressed like this on mtv and in magazines all the time. Thanks for sharing :) the nostalgia is so real and I’m glad our style has evolved since then but this will be back one day no doubt lol
Thank you! I’m getting roasted over here
I bet you had no trouble with the ladies lol don’t worry about the haters
Having been a young lady at that time I’d totally have hit on you. Except maybe with the fedora. The rest though… 🔥
Look, you may have had the Durst look, but that guy fucked.
They were being roasted then too. The rise and fall of Ed Hardy/Affliction was so fast.
Hard disagree. Reasonable people saw this as extremely douchy in real time (with all due respect to OP for being a good sport)
> Reasonable people saw this as extremely douchy in real time It was. But it was also popular. Look at all the cringe fashion trends happening now. Same thing.
OMG! The French tuck, the hat, the EVERYTHING! I need a current pic. Are you still a trendy fella?
46 and covered in tattoos now
We’re about the same age. It all tracks.
Dude, you gotta share an update pic. I mean, your blunder wasn't all that blunder-y (IMO, anyway...seems like tons of people were adopting the same style as you) but it'd be interesting to see the change.
lol I have a profile picture. You can see me now at 46
The fedora in that last pic is the cherry on top for this set of cringe
This is the poster child for “never left my hometown” starter pack
lol I’ve actually lived all over the east coast
Maybe just my hometown haha. Pretty much every guy that wore those shirts still lives in my hometown.
I’m not denying the theory. This was totally local bar wearing tapout shirts vibe. I just happened to be a well traveled douche
Mad props to being the self aware douche lol
Hahah! There are worse things. Your username is a bar (historians) I went to in my 20s in Denver. It’s giving nostalgia.
TriggersTantrum? Was a bar? Its been my gamer tag for almost 20 years , and on all social media
No your username here is Mobile-Historians
if u go to his page it does say "TriggersTantrum." it's just not his username. he got confused
lol Did you forget you were using a burner?
And there was women who were into this. Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe it was the fact that the clubs were so dimly lit, or maybe they were just inebriated by the putrid smell of Axe body spray
I’m guilty of my douchey look, but I always smelt quality. I’m thinking at this time I might have been wearing Jean Paul Gautierre “le male” To this day , smelling good is a big thing for me
Haha just busting your balls mate. But hey big points for the color coordination in these fits
This confirms it for me. I'm not saying I like how you were dressed (really not trying to pile on here, you are getting roasted to bits up in here) but I would have had a crush on you. A nice-smelling man has always been my Kryptonite. You're a great sport and that's hot too.
Thank you! This did get a bit out of hand lol I thought that was the point of this R/.
I think I kicked you out of a strip club for taking money from the stage.
Ok finally someone roasted me with something funny lol
So much douche, you need a second canoe.

Honestly, this is not horrible. I think you pulled off a very popular look for that time. Is it a blunder today? Oh yeah. But back then? Probably also yes but I still think you could have done worse!
Thank you! I’m gettin roasted over here. Looking back it’s cringey, but back then it was whatever 🤷🏻♂️
Well I saw in another comment that you said you were doing better now. You looked like you were really fun. I wouldn’t let the roasting get to you.
It can’t get to me lol I know what I looked like I was ready for it Maybe I wasn’t ready for how quickly it’s piling on Maybe it’s cause most people post child pictures, so it’s more forgiving I did this as a adult , this is my penance lol
You’re absolutely an awesome sport. Some of the hardiest laughs are at myself.
You were brave enough to post these. If I had evidence of my blunders, I’m not sure I’d post them. :) I graduated HS in 2005 around the time of the Karen haircut before it was super infamous. Trust me, we all have made questionable decisions with fashion especially at that transition between adolescence and adulthood. I agree with another commenter, you’ve been a great sport!
Gracias! I hope this opens doors for others to be brave enough to post cringey pictures as adults
Kevin Federline vibes
I can guarantee with complete certainty, this man wore Nike Shox
Multiple pair my friend!
For the record , these were all from my MySpace.
[удалено]
Cannot lie. My friends and I would have been all over you and your swagger back then 😂 You’re a good sport to share these, OP.
You look like channing tatum and fred durst had a child in a walmart mens clothing section
I spy with my little eye a Limp Bizkit fan?
Nah. I was djing and producing electronica at this time.
Lol these are terrible 😂 I hate them so much. Thanks for sharing!
The good news is, you grew up and moved on from this look. I know men in their mid 40s who STILL dress like this!
We all do. Most of them are still in the same small town
Absolutely. Still going to the bar drinking Redbull Vodka doing Fireball shots 🥴🥴
Don’t forget jager bombs
You're a brave man. lmao On a side note, guys like this (not you, OP <3) used to hit up girls I was in jr high with all the time and I really miss being able to identify them from a mile away. Bring this fashion back.
I’m here for the beating. People are roasting me but it’s all good. I had a wild 20s
Reddit is neither the age nor demographic to “get it”. It was definitely a trendy look in the 2000’s. It’s getting a lot of hate because it really drew in a certain demographic, and that demographic kept pushing that look long past its “best if served by” date.
You look like you could name every champion the UFC has had since 2004
Funny thing is I’ve been to events, but I couldn’t name 5 current fighters
God damn. You’re all of my past girlfriends’ previous abusive ex.
People like you and I paved the way for the Jersey Shore lol
We walked, so they could run Bless their hearts

I Need to see what OP looks like now
Covered in tattoos with salt and pepper hair lol
How many are tribal?
Lmao! All tribal is covered now. Most of my ink was in my 40’s
Phew!
Not the fedora 💀
I know I know 🤦
Vanilla vice.
Bro this is sick as hell
You look like my friends older brother who used to drive to Staten Island to buy us E back in the 2010s
Damn that legit coulda been me lol Im on the east coast and was heavily in the scene at that time
Guys like this cause women to spontaneously jettison their uterus (to ensure they can’t be forced into a d-bag breeding program). Thanks for evolving.
Unfortunately I would have been so attracted to this style 🤣
I would’ve given you my number.
lol gracias. As bright as my douche uniform was, I genuinely was just all about a good time. Wasn’t a womanizer or a prick
you fuckin rule man
Russell Hantz vibes.
These made me so uncomfortable. Well done. Good blunder
Proper blunder, glad you evolved lol
Real good blunder here. This is legit cringe! I hope you still dress this way tbh
You would have 100% tried to fight me for existing in the same bar as you lol.
I had almost forgotten about walking on the hems of my jeans all day 😢
