I have a chubby friend who constantly complains about the A&F culture. And I'm pretty sure it's because "bulk runs in his family" and so he detests skinny guys. He hates it a little too much (it is just clothing, after all), but I see his point. Really, this is going to sound very anti-feminist or whatever, but in my observation, men are not men in the western world anymore. Honestly, how many real men do you know under the age of 30? I'm not one at all, but I feel like I can still step back and try to look at it objectively. This present obsession with looks (which includes taste in mere labels of brand names on your clothes) is making men pansies.
Obviously the dude is allowed to market to whomever he wants, but just sayin'.
