I didn't mean that it always was. What I meant was the guy would take just as long (or longer) than me to leave the house because he doesn't look good, only buys clothes from certain stores, and even sometimes would be concerned that he looked fat. That's not necessarily attractive to me.

As a lot of things in this thread, it's all relative.

I agree the no man should wear colored socks.

It should never take a man a half hour to get ready to leave the house.

Hair should be clean cut and require next to no maintenance..

And buy clothes that fit you well, "designer" jeans are just over priced, find a cut and size that fits and it's just fine

No need to over complicate and sell yourself as something your not.. If your clothing is all that attracts a women that's no women I'd want to be around..

Whats wrong with this? Quality clothes are more comfortable and last longer
I'm talking about name brand only. Armani, Lacoste... s*** I shop at Target, Ross and the Rack and my clothes last me fine :what:

I've splurged once on a pair of $200 jeans (mind you, I only spend like $40 on mine) and my cheapie jeans have held up WAY longer than those pieces of garbage. So I don't necessarily think that big name brand is ALWAYS better. Most of the time it probably is.

Coming from a guy with expensive taste, here's some life-lessons:

Designer jeans and clothing are not always better, but when they are, they are insurmountably better. I'm talking leaps and bounds. I too have cheap pants (work is dress casual, so I usually wear fitted jeans and dress shirts. A majority are from Express, lots are from H&M), and I go through them very quickly. You guys can blow smoke all you want, but $20 jeans will give you $20 value.

Knowing how to dress and present yourself does not make you gay, does not make you high maintenance, and does not make you better than anyone else. Style is personal preference. As far as I'm concerned, you guys can look however you want. Doesn't affect me in the slightest, and I don't care. Want to wear a backwards hat? Go ahead, it's your hat/head. I will, however, think "that hat would function better the way it was intended to be worn", but only in my head.

"Hair should be clean cut, and next to no maintenance" subjective statement here. I visit my barber once every two weeks, sometimes more. A clean hairline is a MUST. I do my hair every morning (takes me a whole of two minutes). While it's low maintenance, a "run a comb through it and go" style does not always work. It depends on the person and their style. Some dudes try to pull this off, and look like slopopotamus'.

As everyone has stated, confidence is key. If you're confident looking like a bum, I'm willing to bet you'll still pull chicks. Attitude and mindset radiate over clothing, material possessions, etc.

Sorry to threadjack, Tom, but had to drop my :twocents: in this b***h. I'm by no means some pimp/ladies man. I'm comfortable with who I am. I'm older, and still coping with the fact that I can't run through hoes like I could before (I just don't have the desire), but I'm still confident in who I am, and don't give a s**t what others think (to an understandable extent ;)).

being a man can not be advised it comes from trials tribulation and life experience.

also like one member mentioned beauty being in the eye of the beholder the same can go for manhood being in the eye of the beholder. what makes you a man being able to fight, going through war, being able to show emotions or maybe father hood ???

i find it audacious to call yourself man enough to give advice about being a man.
