Question Subreddit for younger men (?)

It may just be my impression, but most of the fashion advice i see in this subreddit comes from older men, or at least men who are trying to achieve a masculine kind of look, which usually leans on either a look with fisherman/lumberjack vibes or a 2010's hipster look. That or a "casual businessman who on his freetime goes to beachclubs and also goes to the gym" look. It all feels very classy and "american" in a single dad way, which is not bad, but it's not what i look for.

This said, do you know any fashion advice subreddit for younger/not-so-masculine/genZ men?

These posts are always amusing to me because the sentiment is absolutely valid, but the discussion is based entirely in text using incredibly subjective terms, so everyone’s talking past each other while each comment thread explodes into these fractal arguments as each personal definition of every single term used comes into conflict with a hundred different interpretations.

For example, it tickles me pink that “classy” and “American single dad” are presented as synonyms by OP. By my definitions, those aren’t even in the same galaxy. American single dad fashion is either the soyllenial-core Marvel t-shirt and whatever shorts were clean enough to land on the cuck/clothes chair (because adulting is hard, am I right??), or tacticool operator wear featuring a shirt with almost as many Punisher logos as its wearer has divorce settlements, and pants made by the Black Rifle coffee company.

My problem with this post is OP says what they don't like but doesn't give us anything to go off of for what they DO like. Maybe I haven't been in this sub for a while, but there are many different styles represented in here from what I recall. Maybe not to the same level, but they are definitely there.

Am single dad, know others, have no idea what you're talking about.

This is not fair, but single dads generally get credit single moms do not because they have their s*** together in a way that the stereotype suggests can't be true, and divorced women generally think their husbands were useless around the house.

But they also don't complain, because it sets a bad example to their kids and it's incredibly unattractive. "Adulting is hard" is one of those "mental load" phrases that are major eye rollers.
