I agree that you shouldn't look like a slob. And people judge you on your looks. I didn't mean to step on your toes backbreaker and I apologize. But clothes do not define the man. They come off anyway. They only highlight body parts that are attractive, with or without them. A guy that's got decent looks and a decent body, CAN wear a t-shirt and jeans and get girls.
You guys talk about feminization on here all the frikkin time.
Don't you realize this a product of it.
Trends I notice......
Men are getting cosmetic.
I also notice a general level of low self esteem among men, usually reserved to women (women worry about their boobs men worry about their muscle now).
Look at mens magazines like maxim, every single guy in there is buff and goodlooking (this is a major reason why girls have low self esteem 17, cosmo, etc.).
I have a pretty decent body, and when I go out to lunch in my work uniform, I have lots of women check me out.
Why? Because that's associated with MEN. Getting your hands dirty. When I went to pick up my girl for the first time and she saw me in my work clothes, she fawking ripped them off. This has happened with more than one girl. Women like men in uniform.
I drive a full size pick-up truck. I get just as many stares from women as some of my friends in their "fast and furious" cars.
Depends on the women/girl really.
But I guarentee you that if we took a decent looking cowboy from yore, and put him up against the equally attractive metro-sexual, the cowboy would win.
Ever heard a women say "where have all the metro-sexuals gone"? Didn't think so.
And once again, you make the clothes you wear look good. Wether that means highlighting your shape, bringing out the color of your eyes, or anything else like this.
