Some one trying to blend in with the general public, look normal and not like they're carrying a gun and ammo. The joke of the meme is that every guy who tries to gray man always some how lacks any self awareness of how to actually grey man. and they end up looking more obvious.
I'd recommend blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a red and black flannel if you want to actually grey man.
>I recommend
STOP. I'll tell you what you should actually do. Take a look at the areas you frequent and what the majority of people there wear, and THEN pick your clothing to match.
The uninspired answer is that it's unironically a forced meme from persons of glow to make you stick out from the crowd by making you look like a The Division cosplayer.
The true redpilled answer is that it's a subversive attempt by The Big Tactical Pants. The Big Tactical Pants wants the society to pay $500 for cop pants while pumping propaganda attacking the tracksuit bottom, God's choice for His warriors.
maybe not having the obvious rifle poke out is a good idea
the layout looks far more convincing
in the real pic everything looks new. his fat face looks all fresh n shit, and you can also just see his gun. his postures all weird and he looks like he's cosplaying
I dress in beat up Walmart trash clothes and some steel toe Chinese brand leather boots off Amazon. I look like a well washed hobo, but I pack heat. If you have to backpack, always go Jansport.
For me I wear sweatpants, a baggy t shirt, a pair of slip ons, and a pair of cheap wally world shades. Paired with my hair I'm getting very close to perfectly emulating the style of The Dude
1 for every homie in that picture, in their pants but ironically army jeans has his pistol in his jacket >But there's 5 only homies!

My insight role is the Clipboard Man who operates under the assumption that if you're carrying a clipboard, everyone thinks you're supposed to be there.
When I was homeless, I would clean myself up at Walmart knick some stuff from the aisles and go to the airport with a clipboard. Used to get maybe 50-100 bucks worth of supplies just acting like I was doing something.
This guy's right on the money.
I work in security and remote monitoring.
Wanna know how to break into any place being actively watched?
PPE and high vis, then stroll right through the front entrance.
Only ever had one guy try it on us and he would have gotten away with it if our schizo supervisor didn't call the cops on him because he "just knew that fricker was up to something".
So you are essentially shit at your job and your supervisor demonstrated why he has ascended to a boss's role while you have not?

>So you are essentially shit at your job and your supervisor demonstrated why he has ascended to a boss's role while you have not?
It was one guy out of literal millions we've caught and he called the fricking cops on him because he had a "feeling".
If he were wrong, they'd have fired him over it, which they later did when he tried the same shit on someone that was actually supposed to be there.
I was a process server a few years back, and I unironically did this to serve a teacher at a private israeli elementary school. This was like a month after a synagogue got shot up in my state, and the lady at the desk just let me through, no escort or anything simply because I knew the guys name and classroom. I walked in on him reading a book to 15 kids, just sat the papers on his desk, smiled at him and walked out. I couldn't help but just start laughing at how nonchalant the 5 or 6 people I ran into were about me.
The lady up front unironically started making small talk with me saying >oh we have to be careful with letting folks in, you've seen the news right? >well good thing you know each other, I'll get the door for you!
Just wore a polo, slacks and swiss jacket.
It''s a term that originates from the Wheel of Time book series. It refers to assassins known as Greymen who are so average looking that you don't notice them until your'e dead. It is now more generally used to describe dressing unnoticeably.
kek I’m pretty much the same only I just wear a windbreaker.
This is a good post.

I used to wear boots all the time but these days comfy running shoes are life.
Personally I wear boots because I have size 14 stompers and finding shoes comfortable to wear is both a pain in the ass and pretty pricey if I want them to last longer than a few months. I have a pair of Wolverine boots that have lasted me for almost 3 years now and are still holding strong, just had to replace the laces for the right boot a couple months ago. I have a pair of Adidas running shoes for when I go for a run though, but they can get uncomfy quick, and they weigh pretty much nothing. Regardless I don’t even bother going into stores for footwear anymore unless I need socks, they never have anything in my size and even when I was at a 13 it got pretty slim.

"Grey man" is an idea of dressing normally in order to better conceal as attempting to dress to conceal (wearing larger size clothing) can make you look more obvious then if you had just worn what you usually wear. Because the gun community is filled with autists, many overthought this and decided to tactical the frick out of it to the point where they end up looking even more suspicious
>"low vis" tactical pants, military looking colors, Salomons / Merrells, branded caps like 5.11..
Instantly spotted, it's ogre for you >Jeans, flannel, vans.
Kinda obvious you're a gun guy / off duty LE. Especially if I can tell brands of your clothes. >tracksuit bottoms, hoodie, regular ass Nike's
Actual grayman but only if you dont have a big fannypack that screams gun + medical kit.
, flannel, vans. >Kinda obvious you're a gun guy / off duty LE.
isn't it kinda weird how gun autists and queers dress almost exactly the same? Only difference being that the gun autists are too much of a pussy to wear their thigh-highs in public
What's even the point? You are not allowed to stand out in any way for the miniscule chance of having slightly better chances in case of a shooting or robbery? That's just super gay. Just wear the clothes you like and carry a gun.
Must be exhausting to pretend to be in danger 24/7 even though you are not.
If your "Greyman" set up makes you look like glowie larper, you're doing it wrong.
A drug rug, some chewed up cargo pants, long hair and a stoned look will get you past more day to day threats than looking like a fed. Pack some tobacco or cat nip into some RAW cones to complete the image.
idk but I remember a few years ago some weirdo wouldn't stop making greyman threads on here. To which people would respond: > You are the gayman, you suck wieners
or some shit
"Grey Man" means being unremarkable. Blending in.
Looking like you buy all your cloths from 5.11 is not unremarkable.
Grey Man means that if circumstance dictates that you're spending the day in downtown Portland during Pride, you damn best well be wearing that rainbow shit.
Grey Man is whatever gets people eyes to skip over you.
If you think the grey man concept is actually wearing all grey you have autism. Just wear non branded clothing and not look like a 5.11 catalog in a black rifle coffee shirt and you're good to go
It's another case of 'Simple concept and idea gets unnecessarily complicated and over thought.'
It's a very interesting thing to watch. The entire idea of 'being a greyman' is simple: Blend in, be low-profile.
Going to a city? Wear a generic hoodie. Want to wear armor? Wear a slick PC or soft vest under the hoodie.
Then you get goobers who turn the idea into a lifestyle and make themselves stick out like a sore thumb. My friend is one of those guys who will spend $200 on a ultra tactical low key CCW jacket, VertX bags, and has a MOLLE wall on the back of his passenger seat. He unironically looks like a generic glowie fed.
Meanwhile, I have a AR pistol and black slickster in a carhartt bag under my back seat.
In a scenario where we both would need to ditch or vehicles, it would take me about 30 seconds to put my slickster on, conceal it with a hoodie, and grab my bag.
Dressing like normal person. Don't wear shit that stands out. I fricking hate the larping/prepper community for overcomplicating a simple concept
Alien
It's aliens dumbass.
This essentially. A grayman is a person who blends in to any crowd, looks unassuming, but is carrying a firearm and knows how to use it.
If you're wearing tacticool clothing and have stickers on your vehicle that indicate you own a firearm then you are not a grayman.
The problem is most people who cling to the "grayman" identity are severely autistic and legitimately cannot comprehend social norms.
Didn't some movie popularize the term?
It's like being a gay man but with a hard "r".
its like a gayman but moronic
Its this guy
Now that's a reference.
Some one trying to blend in with the general public, look normal and not like they're carrying a gun and ammo. The joke of the meme is that every guy who tries to gray man always some how lacks any self awareness of how to actually grey man. and they end up looking more obvious.

Of course, Stonewall was the original Gray Man. So covert, his own men thought he was a yank and blasted him off his horse.

I wonder how a White Man would react.
Calmness, unlike a Blue Man who'd immediately break down into tears
The Blue Man applies his knee to the Black Man's upper back.
I thought the blue man drummed on improvised instruments.
Only when they travel in packs, solo blue men just dab a do da ba die
There are 6 guns in this photo. Can you spot them?

Different anon here...
You were able to just walk out with it? Nobody stopped you?
You obviously don't know the power of a clipboard. Add a hard hat and safety vest to it and you're basically unstoppable.

How do you know that he's the only one that ever tried it?
Maybe he's just the only one who failed.

Greyman is a 5-11 tactical 'fit with a carefully selected civie ballcap. Logo and how you bend the bill of the hat are the only differences.
It means Ryan Gosling is literally you.
