Wear a suit a move from zero to hero..amazing

[Who Dares Win]

Long story short, today I had to dress very elegant, formal and showing high rank.

Needless to say I had girls checking me out which is something that hardly happens, I had girls touching me or grabbing my arms and those I had to deal with were very warm and kind, getting close at shorter distances...too short distances for formal settings.

Eye contact from those I had to deal with was strong and persistent..its almost as if I was to them what a good looking girl in lingerie is to us.

I heard about halo effect but never imagined it to be so strong.

Suit up, Ted!

 

[resilient]

Nice...

Agree 100%.

Honestly, the only time I get compliments is when I wear a suit. I wear suits at work maybe once every two weeks for certain meetings. Then the HB8 in the office says, "Looking sharp, Mike."

I don't even need to wear a suit. When I wear a tie at work, all the HB's tell me that I look nice. If you want compliments on your looks, wear a fitted shirt with a tie.

Context is important here (and I doubt anyone is suggesting otherwise). Where I'm from, "suiting up" indiscriminately is going to work against you. For one thing, a suit only looks right in a handful of circumstances. For maximum social cachet, you want to be the best dressed guy in the room by a slight margin - overreach and you look like someone who just doesn't get it.

There's also the fact that blue collar jobs are where the money is now - some women are actually fetishising hi-vis safety gear (and I don't think it has much to do with rugged masculine stereotypes).

And I'm probably biased because I'm stupid hard to fit properly (wide shoulders, long torso, big butt, short legs).

I always where a suit going out. Causal for me is no tie. It's not only women that treat you well, but you get more respect from everyone.

 

[SmooveMooves]

You guys live in 2005. If your job doesn't call for it you look ridiculous wearing a suit.

 

[nismo-4]

So do these girls ask you out or just throw compliments in there?

Attention for men is not as valuable as it is for women.

A friend of mine met his wife this way:

He had to wear a suit for his job. He was taking lunch at a food court in the mall, and this girl saw him and dropped her number at his table, without saying a word. That was like 30 years ago, and they are still married to this day.

Regarding the picture in Wilko's post:
Maybe the guy is shoplifting. Those pants around his ankles are forming a natural basket that he can drop stuff in.

Lolz!!!

Melbourne averages about 30 c in summer.. bloody hot.

Now u definitely can go blazer, jeans and tee. My fav look and plenty of funky blazers eg. ASOS

What s the current opinion on the suit and tee?

 

[Julian]

really depends on the suit and the mans situation.


if your some playboy status in a pinstripe perfectly tailored suit, with a open collar shirt just swaggin through then yeah that works...so long as your hopping into your benz or other top notch vehicle...it needs to fit your role.

if your joe blow 9-5er wage cuck who works at some random office or bank...then its not going to go so well for you.

 

[Poonani Maker]

Yeah, I guess I should just take a suit to work every day and after work go to the locker room all sweaty dirty and grimy and put on my suit to drive home/walk through the door of my house (so essentially wearing a suit for 10 minutes). I probably make more than most "suits" nowadays (engineers, you name it), unless they's Born into money/status.

There was a famous book back in the day, "Dress for Success" by some suit guru. (edit: John Molloy) But he wrote a much better book (IMO) called "Live for Success."

The reason it was so helpful was the author and his team actually had people go out and do experiments, just to prove that dressing professionally opened a LOT more doors.

For example, he had guys on their own go into restaurants, order something, and then try and write a check without any ID. (This was back in the seventies).

Dudes without ties were almost always told no.

Dudes with nice shirts and ties were almost always told it was OK.

Other experiments indicated that just walking with confident posture (shoulders back, eyes up, etc.) gave people an average of 2 points on a scale of 1-10.

Meaning the same guys would walk through several different social situations, with poor posture and then with good posture (different social situation). Then some guy would follow with a picture, as if they'd seen this guy, and then rate him on a scale of 1-10.

When the guy walked with a confident posture, he was, on average, rated two points higher. A change on posture was the ONLY difference.

Ohter things I can recall off the top of my head (these are all from experimental evidence how people perceive us based on our appearance)

People that walk with their arms swingin in large arcs are perceived as lower class than people who's arms don't swing very much when they walk.

People who wear black raincoats are perceived as lower class than those who wear beige raincoats.

This is data driven science, not opinion.

Suit = Might have MONEY or STATUS

Female brain calculates: Man + Suit = VALUE.

 

[Mike32ct]

I don't think anybody is claiming that wearing a suit is some silver bullet. Just a couple guys here noting that we got positive reactions from it, no more, no less.

Nobody is claiming that we should all wear suits 24/7. But there are times when a suit works well.

And certainly nobody is hating on construction or other blue collar guys.

If you are built right a form fitting thermal shirt will get you a lot farther than a suit. Just saying.
