This has to be a common phenomenon, right? A free-spirited crochet queen forcing her boyfriend to model her handicrafts on Etsy? I found these twenty sad boyfriends pretty easily, so there are probably enough to at least launch a single-topic Tumblr blog.
Most of them are wearing beanies. Can a man be happy wearing a crocheted beanie? Anyway, hope you enjoy these pathetic sad sacks as much as I did.
"Smile sweetheart."

"Honey, I said smile."
"I AM SMILING."

He actually looks like he's been crying for a few hours.

This guy's thinking about Xbox.

Sadosaurus.

The faux wooden paneling is the saddest part of this photo.

The weight of the world is on this guy's hooded shoulders.

Grrrr.

I think this cheery guy is a designer at Tumblr.

I guess when your hair is that colorful, you need to tone it down with grays and a sad face.

The most unconvincing smile ever.

Did your girlfriend just get in a car wreck or are your earlobes just cold?

This is just getting ruhdiculous.

My personal favorite. Seething rage behind those eyes.

I want to stick little felt Bible characters on this guy's hat.

He's contemplating suicide by hanging himself on the chinstra---I dunno.

This guy thinks he's getting laid tonight.

He's sad because the beanie covers his bling.

The face of a man who suddenly feels like he doesn't even know her anymore.

Even this mannequin head is depressed.

After I wrote this, I noticed Regretsy found the saddest boyfriend of all.

Thanks for weighing in (and for offering your beanie services). We're glad we could give him a taste of the celebrity life LOL

What a great idea for a post! I don't think my boyfriend would agree to model my crochet stuff for me.

Oh dear, I recognise that dead look, it's the one my boyfriend used when I made him model the hat I made for him...
I particularly enjoyed the hipster with the ginger hair, such a contrived 'careless' toss of the head

Ha ha! I've made my boyfriend pose in crocheted hats too. And he also looked sad. But believe me, he loves it. I know it. Deep down inside, I know he loves it.
On a side note, I think you should do a post about all the hot boyfriends on Etsy. I've spent many an afternoon ogling hot yarn-wearing, sad-posing hipsters.

Number 13 down (in the gray cable-knit hat) is a dead ringer for a healthier Michael Stipe, circa mid-80s. I'd do him.

Sadasaurus is my hubby. And yes, he was less than thrilled to have to model the hat. I bribed him with sexual favors. :)

It's not just boyfriends and crocheted stuff....My son acts the same way when he models for me (and it's cool vintage clothing...) and my husband always looks utterly dismal. LOL
