Give him a complimentary sugar lump for his horse. That ought to make him feel better.

Give the guy a compliment. Help him to be more confident.
Waiter at the Mexican joint called me caballero the other night. Made me feel good. I also get called the redneck Crocodile Dundee. Yep, that suits.
That hurts. Do you attempt to give him a boost at the risk of the insincerity seeping into your affect, or try to just ignore it?
I feel like, if you are categorically incapable of coming up with something nice to say about someone's hat with a degree of sincerity necessary to make it through that one-off interaction, then one of two things is true: either you're the wrong person to be involving themselves, or the hat is so horrendous, the kind thing to do would actually be insulting them so they never wear it again. My money is on the former tho lol
Just fucking stop. He's trying. If he likes it, it works, okay? Goddam everyone gotta be so fucking mean and judgemental. And yes, I'm going through some shit rn
She isn't baggin' on the dude, only saying it sucks to see the hat wearer so uncomfortable. I'd call that a score for empathy.
for real, no matter what you do, someone will hate on you for it….
not too long ago, i was walking through a large wooded dog park with my guitar, dicking around on it quietly as i walked over to a nice private spot to play away some feelings (going through some shit myself).
the next day, some frumpy middle aged lady came up to me and said, “what, no guitar today?” in a clearly taunting manner… i responded with distain but i should’ve yelled at her….
can i really not play an acoustic guitar in the woods without someone giving me shit for it? i wasn’t strumming and singing all loud or anything, wasn’t seeking attention… just entertaining myself quietly….
everyone listens to music, it’s one of the most universal human traits… but nowadays if you play music people act like there’s something wrong with you…. unless it’s in a prescribed setting….
Imagine seeing the guy with the hat and not only judging him but thinking “this is an opportunity to get likes and shares on the internet.”
What colour cowboy hat did you buy?
You're living in real life. This is the internet. Everyone is fearless behind a screen.
Wait, you guys are fearless behind a screen? D:
Nope - chronically fearful babyyy B)
nah fuck that. your don't need to justify it.
wear you fucking hat. its better than 100% of the idiots making fun of the cowboy hat
I think he meant "stop being judgemental" not "stop wearing the hat"
Or so I hope.
thats what i got from it too
Yea but it's valid. I wanna try a cowboy hat.

I still remember the sudden look of realization when I told a fellow shy nerd at the NerdCon rave "We're already shirtless and covered in body paint, we might as well dance".
That's sweet he was able to cut losses that day, we all deserve to be free from judgment to just have fun every now and then

Hey, some looks you gotta build yourself up to. I'm a dude with long hair, when I first let it grow long enough to tie back, it felt really weird being in public with a ponytail/ bun. I didn't feel like "the guy with the ponytail" yet.
A few more trips to the coffee shop, and hopefully this guy will just be "the guy in the cowboy hat" 👍🏽
Oh shit, I thought it was just me. I was so subconscious about it, I actually tie it up all the time. Then one day I started to get more confident and just let it down all the time.
One time(while wearing a mask) someone called me ma'am. Another time a Indian man in Brisbane was being a dick and told me women can't be in the male bathroom.
I also used to have long hair and would accidentally get called ma'am back in the day. I noticed the person who said it is usually wayyy more mortified than you are. Partly because they misgendered you, but mostly because they totally just checked out your ass too. After realizing that, it never bothered me again.

A real cowboy takes the hat off indoors.
Jesus tipping Mary, thank you! The hat was specifically to keep the sun off my face, out of my eyes, and the rain from running down my neck. As a fashion statement, I hate it. The 'rodeo' near me has so many dipshits rocking it because they think it makes them look the part, and meanwhile they're on the third topo chico and sweating in the indoor AC.
I want a straw cowboy hat for work. My boonies hat works well, but it's too damned hot. Know where I can get a solid deal?
I just get the cheap ones from any of the hardware stores. I had a nice one for work when it was a role that was for a local government and I had to meet with folks outdoors, but if it's just for dirty work then the cheap stuff will last for long enough. Most of my hats were ruined by mechanical intervention before they wore out.
A cowboy once told me, that you can spot a fake by how clean their hat is.
Since (so he told me) in case a bull had an episode, they would throw their hat in the other direction and climb over the corral fence. The bull would often go after the hat.
Maybe they have a second hat for "not work" aka partying.
Is he even a cowboy if he doesn't put his hat over his heart and address a woman as "ma'am"
I guess cowbiy is different to everyone but to me you lost the Cowboy at the entering of a coffee shop. Various reasons, 1 being it's cheaper at home, and 2 being that the last cowboy I knew made $35k a year, so he couldn't afford a coffee shop

Sometimes people are just having tough days. Sometimes their insecurities aren’t worn on their sleeves or hats. Occasionally, we just have to wait a few days until our scalps recover from freak birthday candle accidents, and the hat fused to your skull by singed flesh and fat can be removed without surgical intervention. Everyone is living their own life. Don’t jump to conclusions.

The only thing worse is someone wearing a cowboy hat who's overly confident about it
Like this fuckin' douchebag.
Oh god please let this human turd fade into obscurity in a couple weeks
Same. The Libs are projected to win, but I'm really worried about low voter turnout as it was with America's last election. I never want to see that fucking cunt become PM as he so badly craves.

Who is it? And why is a guy standing in front of a Canadian flag be wearing Texas hat
It's just a cowboy hat, I don't think they're specific to Texas. I'm fairly certain that some parts of Canada have long been associated with cowboys.
I know nothing about the guy wearing it in the picture though. He looks like a dick
He's the leader of our Conservative party and a close contender to be our next Prime Minister. He's about as fake as a person can be and has absolutely no vision or plan for Canada.
Sure he does. His vision is , and he feels really strongly about it.
Men in cowboy hats are hot. But it needs to be a nice hat.
And also, the guy has to be hot.
Rules 1 and 2 apply.
Fuck. I’ll put this cowboy hat down and walk away.
I would expect cowboy hats in general, but especially a nice, good quality one, to have been designed specifically to prevent the wearer from overheating when exposed to harsh sunlight.
Or in more technical terms, man's not hot.
But is it high quality enough to prevent you from being burned from a jealous comment?
