Belt or suspenders?

[Grug Arius]

Whatcha wearin'?

in Britoon they call suspenders "braces" and "suspenders" there are something completely different, just to be clear. As this is an American forum, we dont speak in Brutish English

 

[Lord Osmund de Ixabert]

Braces, indeed, offer a superior level of comfort in contrast to belts, and when faced with the decision of securing one's trousers, the choice is as clear as the light of day—braces, naturally.

Moreover, for men who possess a well-shaped physique, such as my own, belts (& wallets) tend to spoil the natural lines of one's form.

Admittedly, these concerns hold minimal significance for most men, as their physical constitutions are often suboptimal.

Nonetheless, the point stands: braces don't muck up your body's outline, whereas belts frequently do.

If one is ill-proportioned and/or dresses like a ragamuffin, the matter is inconsequential.

"Your figure? These are gay considerations"

Says every man with a suboptimal physique. In fact, one need only bear witness to the innumerable women who, in public venues, unabashedly admire my physique, to the extent of physically touching me and requesting my contact info. Can you fashom it?

As for my sartorial choices of lat, I have opted for one of two distinct ensembles: military fatigues or short-shorts.​

Belt or suspenders what?
If my socks were to be fastened by suspenders, for example, that couldn't precisely answer this poall, accoarding to its implication of confining the garments in supposed question to either trousers oar kilt

The supportive fixtures for socks and stockings are denominated as sock garters or claspers, whereof I possess a scant assemblage.

Ever and anon these appurtenances, 'spite all appearances contrarwise, have proven utile, and evince much practicality, at least as per my own experience therewith.

Notwisthanding, lately I forgo the donning of socks altogether, given my eschewal of footwear, 'cept during frigid spells, or when ambulating amidst rugged terrain.

The lesser sex maintains the employment of such trappings, in the semblance of what are called 'hose garters'.​

 

[Lord Osmund de Ixabert]

Whilst toting my truncheon, or billystick, as I reckon it is denominated—a bludgeoning implement akin a petite baseball mace, intended to be utilised chiefly for percussive cranial impacture, & recurrently 'picted in animated features & Hollywood cinematic spectacles—I occasionally garb myself with a cincture or belt.

For I find waistbands most conducive to the expeditious affixation of said cudgel to my person, and the seamless removal therefrom.​

 

[Cole of Them Northwoods]

I wear garrison belts and gun belts.

 

[Dr. Alan James 2.0]

If I make it to 80 years old, I will don suspenders, pulling on them with my thumbs as I declare my abject hatred for niggers and race mixing.

These claspers or garters could pose the problem of overstretching, upon phallic erection

So I am new here. You seem to do live action role-playing. True? Or do you just enjoy being this way

 

[Gawn Chippin]

We're enjoying the thread's autor being this way, probably moar than the thread's author does

 

[Lord Osmund de Ixabert]

So I am new here. You seem to do live action role-playing. True? Or do you just enjoy being this way ​

It is disheartening, dearest, how you are so enmanacled to your digital diversions, and devoid of the enchanting allure and richness of real life, that my splendid existence appears like some phantasmic live-action role-playing game, your own experiences being largely confined to online flights of fancy.

You're too lost in the digital maze, darling. Too divorced from the real world that you mistake an authentic life for some dazzling exhibiution of ostentatious stagecraft & legerdemain; an extravagant "LARP", as you put it.

So enwrapt are you within the web's embrace, that the concept 'real life' in your mind corresponds to a simulacral experience like your online engagements.

You are so far removed from the heart of true living that you find it difficult to differentiate between reality and illusion, mistaking the authentic for a cunningly contrived ploy, because your own experiences are limited to online fantasies

Anyone who thinks I am "larping' about anything is to be pitied, since he or she must be so disconnected from life's tangible pulse that he can scarcely distinguish the authentic from the staged, and thus dismisses the genuine as an artful ruse, a well-crafted spectre. Accounts of true living appear to such an idividual as distant mirages, leaving him confounded by the notion that real life could be anything more than a masterfully devised charade.

On top of that, you don the mask of a nom de plume, and even go so far as to adorn your online persona with a digital visage (avatar) that bears no semblance to your authentic countenance, pretending to be something you're not. You're exhibitting psychological projection at its most theatrical, darling. Internet forums are like a virtual masquerade ball; I stand out only because I am a very self-realised individual who presents himself online exactly as he is 'in real life'. Most other people are pretending to some degree. I am exactly the same person here as I am in all other settings.

The irony? Whilst you're occupied living your online life, you're actually playing make-believe in reality. For, alas, your online dalliances do transpire within the fabric of reality, and thus, unwittingly, your online existence is itself one big LARP session. You're inadvertently play-acting a chimaerical dramatis persona within the cybernated proscenium of your own existential tragicomedy.​

What a fantasy you have crafted there.
I suppose I made a guess as well, but as it turns out, we were both wrong.

You on two accounts, as I was not insulting you nor am I hiding. My name is Namina; I don't have any reason to hide that but I do think screen names are fun. I have posted pictures on other forums but do not prefer to have a picture of myself as my avatar because reasonably attractive young women who do so tend to give the impression of availability. I rather like my Swan.

Make that three accounts, because I am quite active in life, though I do not isolate myself from the wonderful adventures of the internet, such as this. I enjoyed your writing and I don't blame you for your assumptions, without ever having spoken to me before, I'd expect nothing more. Just as I was, and am, unable to interpret your particulars from a single glance. I would like to move past this so you can explain how you are this way. I was genuinely asking.

 

[Lord Osmund de Ixabert]

What ways have you in mind

 

[White Swan]

What ways have you in mind

I know I've unfortunately caused you to feel insulted already, so I really hope you can take this the way I mean it. I really do enjoy how you have such a vocabulary readily accessible. And we probably share a few ancestors btw, since all nobility is related.

I just had to, it's too perfect

 

[Lord Osmund de Ixabert]

I shan't take umbrage. Indeed, even in instances of bona fide affronts, I never experience offense, & frequently remain oblivious to any efforts to belittle me, even when it is done intentionally. All I consider is whether the propositions are true or false, and respond accordingly. However, I would be delighted if you would expatiate upon your pedigree. ​

 

[White Swan]

Firstly, here's the picture of whose absence you complained, do you have a guess? I am curious. I would never expect a stranger to know much, but nonetheless I am curious due to your swell documented pedigree and presumed IQ.

I'll answer your question, but mine still is not answered, so I will save my answer for when you have made your guess. I am curious

Here we have an example of neither effective belting nor suspendering:

 

[William Score]

Suspenders most of the time although in the summer i move to belts more often since one shouldnt be seeing ones undergarments this way.. and most summer clothes is less conducive to it.

Sock garters are handy but again depends on the socks or the time i have to prepare to dress.

Ixabert has been a national treasure for over 20 years. If hes doing a larp hes been able to maintain it all that time.

Okay, didn't mean anything by it (like I said, just trying to figure him out because it's interesting to me.) I don't even have anything against LARPers inherently, at least they are trying.
