To me his argument was that the look was more mainstream and acceptable to gay and straight men alike than the previous comments suggested. A legitimate point of view, one can agree or disagree, and I didn't detect any suggestion that Men's Warehouse was a fancy brand, just that it's mainstream and omnipresent, which seems like an obvious fact to me.
BTW I find that "arguments" "I am this, I am that, me, me, me" hurt one's credibility. Those that have good points to make typically don't resort to "proof by intimidation."
