This seems like an accurate summary!

My husband calls them “Oakley bros” and can’t stand them. But his definition includes that they’re all the kind of guy who is 100% sure he knows the answer to everything but is usually slightly wrong. There’s an element of unearned confidence and trying to one-up other men. The choice of sunglasses is just a convenient way to spot them coming.

Oakleys are definitely in the bro-dad starter pack. A Vineyard Vines and backwards ball cap are the next steps. If you want to go all in, skip prior steps and by a Jeep.

I’ve one kind of Jeep or another since I was 14. I’m 51 now.

As long as you don’t wear Oakleys while driving Jeep, you’re OK 😉

Seriously, I had a Jeep back in 1994. Two door, no air, manual transmission and kind of drove rough. - boy do I miss it. I will probably pass on a new Jeep. They’re too expensive and too luxurious now.

Seriously: Don’t you think it is time both of you GROW UP?

A jeep is a ridiculous vehicle for a man your age to own.

Easy to spot, they frequent (and start) the many local breweries, or they “home brew” in their suburban garages and brag about it at work. They also take their dog everywhere, and are frequently seen pushing a kid stroller with a dog leash attached.

They are legends in their own mind.

When my teen kids became "too cool for school" I started bringing our small dog for car rides when out and about. It's great! She loves it, I love it. But I don't bring her inside businesses. I think those people are a bit classless.

Get bent, grandma. I’ll drive whatever I damn well please. You boomers can keep your Lexus or BMW or whatever stodgy carriage you think is age appropriate. You’ll be dead in 10 years anyway, no one cares what you think, old lady.

This thread is full of seething dorky unathletic men and bitter yentas married to wimps. Doesn't matter if you're a hot shot lawyer, surgeon, or some bureaucrat with juice, a low T wimp is a low T wimp.

They wish they had a new Lexus or BMW. Most of the striver wannabes on here are driving something along the lines of a CRV, RAV4, or some tired Subaru.

Nowadays, I judge Jeep drivers more than Oakley wearers.

Anyone that has bought a jeep in the last 20 years is just an idiot; they are the worst cars on the road

I had a Jeep in the 90s. It was pretty utilitarian compared to today’s Jeeps.

No judgement on today’s Jeep owners…if they enjoy it, what do I care? Which begs the question, PP. Why do you care?

"caring" and thinking people are fools with their money are two different things.

But buying a jeep (unreliable/uncomfortable/expensive) is pissing money away. Again, I don't care, but its also ridiculous to ask people to not have an opinion.

Do you also use terms like low value woman, alpha, normies and are you raising lions?
This is such a dumb pop culture trend, but I worry a lot of men start taking testosterone and act insane at their kid's games, hit on women who are clearly uninterested but something about the testosterone blinds them to the boundaries of appropriate behavior.

That’s pretty much the essence of it, yeah.
