The Appeal of Dressing Fashionably for Men

  • Thread starter mcknia07
  • Start date
In summary, guys who dress fashionably tend to be more attractive to women. This is because they dress in a sophisticated way that shows they care about their appearance. They also tend to be more comfortable in formal clothing, because they don't rely on it as much. However, the cost of fashionable clothing can be prohibitive for some, and may not be necessary for others.

Very cute! That is pretty much along the lines of what I was thinking. You have a very nice jaw structure as well, that makes it look even better, lol. :biggrin:

No fohawk...go more for the messy hair, like the other guy in the picture. But not so pointy in the front, more like all around messy, yet more flatish on the sides.

For god's sakes loose the back street boys beard offtheleft.

Your haircut is the same as Jason. It's very boy-ish.

Get a proper mans haircut from a barber.

Yes, it's that bad. Anytime I see someone sporting that kind of beard I think to myself -...douchebag.


It's really, really, REALLY bad.

I just can't stand that beard. It's so stupid. ARgggg! (Don't ask me why, I just hate it).

Just shave it all off.

Then just let it grow out to a 5 oclock shadow like miami vice after a few days and then shave it. But for the love of god, don't ever trim that back-street-boy beard like that again!

What you can do (and I do) if I don't have time is just shave my neck and under my jaw line and trim my check so it looks like I am trying to grow a beard and then cut if off a few days later. That way it doesn't look bad.

You also need to shave after you take a shower and in the direction of the 'grain' that your hair grows. If you do that when you shave it won't cut you. This is how real barbers are trained to give a shave with a straight razor.

Your hair was fine in the second picture. It was short and didnt look 'boyish' like it does with your hat on. You actually look like an adult.

No, its tucked in all the way. Now you know why I have all my dress shirts tailored or custom made. I'm not kidding when I say shirts for men are for horrendously fat people.


I was scanning this thread and saw this. It's very very true. All my button up shirts are size small (or equivalent). What is with that? When it comes to t-shirts or sweatshirts or whatever, a size medium usually fits (sometimes it's too large).

I needed a plain tshirt for halloween once, so I thought I'd get some super cheap shirt from walmart. I swear to you that their mediums are really XLs. They were HHUUGGEE.

I have found this problem super puzzling as well. There are very few places you can find euro styled athletic fitting button down shirts. I am thin, but not crazy thin. A calvin kline small button down barely fits comfortably. I rarely wear button downs these days because most draped on me and I felt terrible. I also bought a t-shirt that was medium and when I got it the thing looked huge, down to me knees. I eventually shrunk it down to a decent size, but still too big.

I have really broad shoulders, and usually have to buy button ups a size larger just so I can move my arms. As a result I normally look like I weight several pounds heavier.
 
  • #309
I should sell button up shirts. I'd be a millionaire.

I like dressing trendy and up to date, but I hate formal looks. Too corporate drone looking. Also I find button downs and suits very uncomfortable. Give me a nice cotton/poly polo or tshirt with some lucky or guess jeans and I'm a happy man.

Also nice clothes do cost a freakin lot. I was at Selfridges in London and they had tons of amazing clothes, but that great pair of Hugo Boss jeans are going to run $300. A cool Desiel t-shirt will be $70. Business style clothes even a higher price level.

this is also the primary factor that makes a well-dressed man attractive to women.

Well dressed men are awful in bed and have to make up for it by being well dressed. Its just nature finding its own level. Its the same reason Scottish men wear kilts. :tongue:

Even I know that no one could stand my whining for more than a month. I go through men like other people go through kleenex. :redface:

My ex had a slim athletic build. He was an ex quarterback. Broad shoulders, slim waist and huge thighs. All of his clothes had to be custom tailored.
