In line at the airport the other day. A bit behind me in the cattle maze at bag drop was a group of a half-dozen hipsters traveling together, three males and three females. Each looked around 30, physically, but all were dressed such that they looked like kids that either had been playing dressup in granny's attic or were so proud of their having dressed themselves for the first time that their mommy didn't have the heart to correct their questionable choices.

(Aside: the females were the usual tats-and-shrapnel-and-rainbow-hair hipsterettes, but surprisingly towards the feminine side of the spectrum - no skrillex cuts, no scowling shrews, and though too heavy for my taste none were landwhales.)

The males, however, were complete soyboys. One was a small, emaciated Cuban-looking dude with such flamboyant gestures and effeminate voice I thought at first he was gay. The others were towering blobs of uncanny androgyny, probably 6'4" and 275 of dough topped with beards and Hitler Youth hair. They too spoke with effeminate voices and mannerisms, and at one point I actually saw one of them do the 'soylent grin' in real life for the first time. All were outwardly giddy over whatever trip they were taking together, giggling excitedly like tweeners going on a school trip. It turned out to be three straight couples, much to my surprise.

At one point, the elderly lady in front of me noticed that one of the zippers on the cartoon backpack one of the blobs was carrying was half open. She pointed it out to him, and he gushed girlishly in gratitude - then reached into the pocket in question and fished out his iPad, which had a child's teddy bear case, complete with limbs and ears sticking out around the edges.

I turned away in disgust and ignored them after that. I've always despised the term "manbaby", but that was exactly what came to mind as I was watching these guys. They reminded me of that Twilight Zone episode where the elderly people from the nursing home sneak out on a dare and play kick-the-can - the joy of the experience rejuvenates them, turning them into little kids in old-people clothes. Only in reverse in this case: the soyboys were like children who had gone to the airport on a dare to fly off on an adventure like an adult, and had as a result morphed into fully-grown adults - but still wore their Garanimals and carried kiddie backpacks full of toys.

Holy Fek, I am so sick of seeing 25-30 YO white dudes with greasy rope hair buying kale/spinach and parking their fekking bicycles half way blocking the door. Is it against their morals to shower and wash those fekking knit virgin lambs wool sweaters? It's June for Christs sakes. Why are they wearing sweaters and condom toques?

Don't get me wrong, I love nature, that's where venison grows. But I still shower regularly, WTF is wrong with these dudes?

You have a good way with words. I could picture the whole scene as if I was there. I've definitely seen this type a lot in airports, both men and women. I can just imagine a child with their Garanimals and kiddie luggage suddenly turned into an adult!

I'll never forget the day I moved from my hay bale throwing, coal mining, and hunting and fishing hometown in Appalachia to Ann Arbor, MI, one of the Midwest's hipster bastions. My hipster-chic girlfriend and I were walking in one of the less gentrified areas outside the safety of the ivory towers and walls of campus near the less reputable town of Ypsilanti, populated by the one group of Americans hipsters love to say they love but actually rarely engage with in any serious manner. Their pickup basketball game was delayed when the ball went over the fence. I casually tossed it 15 or so yards with a flick of the wrist and my girlfriend was in awe of my athletic prowess. This was early on in our relationship so sports hadn't really come up. She later told me that she was incredibly turned on by a simple display of coordination because it was something she thought was unrealistic in the real world because the guys (brothers, friends, exes) in her life were barely the same species as an athlete she saw on TV. (I wasn't close to a D1 level football or basketball player, I got 2 baseball offers but now I'm humblebragging)

Forget protecting the tribe from wolves, building bridges, conquering the seas and sky and then space. Catching a ball tossed underhand will soon be the beacon of masculinity.

I live in the Portland area and can tell you there are guys like this everywhere. Towering blogs is a good description as they tend to be both tall and very doughy. There are also the skinny guys with scraggly beards who look that they weight less than 100 lbs. despite being of average height. These guys are NOT twinks as they are far too hairy and ratty looking to be such.

the women are doughy and overweight but not land whales.

You can find good looking people (both male and female) in the gyms, however. The 24 Hour Fitnesses are full of good looking people in shape. A surprising number of them are hard core right and likely Trump supporters. I have eavesdropped on a number of conversations over the past couple months that make this abundantly clear.

TRUMP ADMIN TO CRACK DOWN ON SOY

FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said that the Trump administration is preparing to crack down on soy and almond products calling themselves “milk.”
“An almond doesn’t lactate, I will confess,” said Gottlieb, speaking at the Politico Pro Summit. Yet despite the Food and Drug Administration’s position on milk as a product of lactating animals, the dairy industry has been struggling as alternative sources gain popularity.

Milk prices are dropping, and oversupply has become a global concern. Between 2015, sales declined by a whopping 13%—and the value of 100 pounds of organic milk went from $40 in early 2016 to about $27 by late 2017. Meanwhile, soy and almond “milks” are soaring in popularity, increasingly viewed as a healthier alternative to bovine products. Coconut, pecan, quinoa, hazelnut, and flax milks are also on the rise.

In 2017, Wisconsin Democrat Senator Tammy Baldwin introduced a bill that would ban non-dairy products from using the word “milk,” but failed to gain any significant support. And while dairy farmers have repeatedly petitioned for tighter standards on advertising non-milk products, the FDA has not addressed the concern until now.

Gottlieb claims that the FDA will reach out to the public before making a decision, but that the process will not be instantaneous. “This is going to take time,” he said. “It’s not going to take two years, but it probably takes something close to a year to get to go through that process.”

Meanwhile, non-dairy milks are enjoying a 61% five-year growth, and the trend shows no signs of slowing—let alone stopping. That might be good for America’s collective waistline, but it has left many dairy farmers crying over spilled milk."

If you see what dairy farmers are going through in the US, it's a downright tragedy. We should all do our part and drink more non-soy fresh organic or raw milk.

I wish gas was as cheap as milk, I see it for $1 for a half gallon and $1.75 for gallon locally. The only price that hasn't dropped is the local farm's glass bottle milk is just as expensive as usual.

Part of being a man is knowing when to pick your battles. I am a very clumsy guy at times and may have had butter fingers just like this guy; but, I would make it look better. The thing is, I wouldn't pursue the ball in such a way because it serves me no good to look like a clumsy caveman on national TV.

Instead of thinking ... "I am going to be the hero and get this ball to impress my girl" it is best to think ... "good chance I ain't going to catch this shit so let me play it off cool and let all things be equal"... If you really want a ball go to BP and throw around and they will toss them to you.

So this is a thing? This is how these girls get these IG shots because their "photographer" Soy-boyfriends are basically just photogs for hire when they travel?

Wow, it all makes sense now.

Wow, it all makes sense now.

A few years back, I came across a photo collection by a New York photographer who would set up a camera at a random street corner, take a photograph every few seconds during the day for several days, and then superimpose together all the people displaying some common element. The result was an interesting and often hilarious misrepresentation of reality: everyone in the photo, sometimes 50 or more people, wearing red or walking on crutches or holding their hand out checking for rain or whatever, completely oblivious to the others doing the same. (Naturally, because each person doing it was photographed at a different moment.)

I'd love to see a photographer do the same at Instagram-popular spots like this beach: illustrate the banal imitativeness of what these people are doing by showing a hundred or more couples stacked up taking the same picture at the same time, as this photo captures with only three.

ETA: the photographer in question may be Pelle Cass: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pelle+cass&t=h...&ia=images
Same idea, anyway, though I don't see there any of the common-element pictures I remember.

I'm seeing this shit all the time now with dorks taking pictures of chicks. Sometimes it's not even a boyfriend, but some totally emasculated friend or amateur photographer with a fucking fanny pack and cargo shorts. There's a park near my place where they come on evenings and weekends. The other day i saw some tall thick white chick posing while three little Hispanic looking dudes with backpacks and fancy looking cameras took pictures. The boyfriend was a buff black dude. He just stood there like a rube, emasculated, while she posed and then went through the photos with the guys. I actually didn't realize he was her boyfriend til he rejoined her after she looked through the photos and thanked the photographer guys.
