I don't get it.

Man spreading?

A pose that would never be reached in real life.

Wince said...

"Hot" in what sense?

If he's "hot" he shouldn't he take it off? Take all off.

Is there really a wrong way to put on a sweater?

There are three body parts that go through three holes.

As long as you don't pull the sweater down over your torso before trying to get your arms through the holes, it doesn't seem like any of the possible orderings are really inferior.

If you had to pick one to be the One True Method of donning a sweater, I'd say Jake Gyllenhaal seems to have it right -- both arms first, then the head, then pull it down over the torso.

He needs a haircut.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

He would be hotter if he took a shower and washed his greasy hair.

Ken B said...

If he is hot shouldn’t he be taking the sweater *off*?

wendybar said...

I agree with Wince. Take it all off!!

MayBee said...

I'm fine with hot men,

rehajm said...

Those loose knit sweaters don't really have a program. Like wearing a shrimp net.

Danno said...

Is that covid hair or is he poorly coiffed all of the time?

gadfly said...

Could it be that "hot man" is sweating profusely and while in the process of removing his heavy sweater, he got an itch on the back of his neck that required scratching?

Karen says, "You're doing it wrong!"

Jamie said...

But... while sitting down? I doubt that I have ever put on a sweater sitting down. I have taken some off while sitting, so maybe he's caught in mid-doff. Which ought to be... hotter, I suppose.

Eh. I like Jake fine, but do not understand why the big-soulful-eyes thing took over as a standard for masculine beauty. It used to be signs of strength, not signs of sensitivity. (Just kidding... I do know why the eyes thing took over. I just don't support it. I prefer men who keep their souls out of their eyes until in an intimate situation.) the

Actually, it's arms, then take off your glasses, then head, then put your glasses back on, then pull it down over the torso. :)

Is this a homosexual thing?

How about: Grubby looking, bearded guy with head lice?

pacwest said...

It's a dilemma, no doubt about it. It's a minor miracle he could even pull on his pants. (One leg at a time dude!). Don't even think about shoelaces. Being a hot guy isn't all its cracked up to be. Trust me.

tim maguire said...

This fellow appears to be using what clint identifies as the Jake Gyllenhaal method, which is the correct one (clint is wrong in concluding that there is no clear "correct" way to put on a sweater in that the main goal in donning or doffing a sweater is to not stretch out the neck).

Sebastian said...

Or hot man confused about why he should put it on rather than take it off?

"You want me to do what? No one ever asked me that before!"

PluralThumb said...

Robert is a pompous jerk. He likes to put on sweaters to cool off. Music in the morning is not a good choice. Note to the wise, after sundown only. My 2 cents worth.

GatorNavy said...

He is not that hot, I said to my wife as I sucked in my mighty gut

Jake is trying to apply what he learned about the three parts and three holes in sex ed class.

JRoberts said...

One look at the vacuous expression on his face gives me the impression he is confused about many things.

Bilwick said...

A friend of mine with a ghoulish sense of humor used to say of the actor Jack Cassidy, who was killed in a fire, "He was hot stuff." Later he would just refer to Cassidy as "Hot Man." So when I saw the headline, I thought, "WTF--???"

Sometimes less or ripped is better than more or whole. He's the very model of a rebel with a cause and with... but passing judgment and casting labels in a frame of reference without context is to follow a progressive path and we should be wary to take even a baby step.

tcrosse said...

He needs one of those Kevin Spacey sweater vests with eleventy fiddly little buttons down the front.

MadisonMan said...

Not an attractive sweater. Take that either way.

Mary Beth said...

It's making fun of an advertising trope. Like women laughing with salads.

Jamie said...

GatorNavy, thank you for making me literally LOL.

Ralph L said...

Don't tell me we're back to the stubble look. I'm happy with my full beard.

Mary Beth: "It's making fun of an advertising trope. Like women laughing with salads."

MB, I clicked on the link you provided. That is one weird trope. I like salads, but I've never encountered one that gave me the giggles.

TrespassersW said...

I'm partial to the Woman Laughing With Salad genre myself.

tcrosse said...

How did this guy manage to put on his pants without strangling himself?

Kai Akker said...

Formerly Hot

Lately a stew bum.

Heartless Aztec said...

I've read all the comments, conferred with gay friends, asked a couple friend girls and...I still don't get it.

stevew said...

I'd prefer to see his sister wrestling with a sweater.

Heartless Aztec said...

Someone just explained it to me. The model was Vougeing. It's a NYC thing. Good to know. I can sleep easier now.

Christy said...

Thank you, Althouse. I needed that.

I never thought Jack Cassidy was particularly good looking or a great actor (and I can’t Jake Gyllenhall is much different in either department). But I’m a man, and am often at odds with my wife on what makes a good looking man. When John Legend was named sexiest man alive I first assumed it was a Babylon Bee article. And I still don’t get it.

“Blogger stevew said...

Just ... no. Please stop trying to make Maggie Gyllenhall a sex object. Maggie is never going to happen!

JaimeRoberto said...

Reminds me of me.

Mary Beth said...

I've had green leaves make me giggle, but they weren't in a salad.

" I'd prefer to see his sister wrestling with a sweater. " @ 1:28pm.

Maggie Gyllenhaal did better than that in a movie called ' The Secretary '.

Sorry for snitching Lady Gyllenhaal.

Anthony said...

Perfume commercials are just painfully dumb, too. Almost in a car wreck sense though.

mikee said...

Women laughing with salads is the less salacious choice, made after complaints were made about women sexually excited with salads. Although those were mostly about salad dressing, technically speaking, not the vegetables. Or so I recall from my salad days.
