Questions on style for men (ladies you can help to)

edited June 2008 in All Encompassing Trip
OK, well I'm a 25 year old guy. Never dated anyone, never had a girlfriend. (Mostly by choice). Anyway, I guess I'd like to get out there and all now, but Anyway I was looking at ways to be more attractive to women apart from confidence and good personality like how to look hot an all. I'm a pretty clean cut guy, but first I looked at ways to make sure my personal hygeine was in tip top shape, and then I looked at clothing styles. (I got this from wiki how) They said to look at men's magazines like Esquier and GQ for clothing styles. Do men actually get ideas from these magazines? The only magazine I read is The New Yorker, so I'm just curious if the magazines, Details, GQ, Esquier are a good idea.

    Dude, you don't need Esquirer or GQ. That's getting to far over the top.

    Before I go on, what kind of places do you go to? Cause you can get a nice pair of jeans and nice pair of short's and turn that into any style you want with how you choose your shoes/shirts/belts to go with it.

    I've never touched one of those magazines, much less read them, so that might explain my lack of style.

    For the most part, I agree with Merlin though....

    I'm a chick and I actually prefer Maxim for style. It seems to look more realistic. But that's just me, er...I mean my husband. :)

    don't read those jackoff magazines....be yourself...wear what you dig....if a chick isn't into you because of what you wear she isn't worth the time

    "and then she said 'me so hooorny, me love you long time!" lol....

    Anywho, you don't need to dress like the boy toys in GQ to attract us girlies.... depending on where you go, you can switch up a nice pair of jeans and a shirt to a nice date outfit, or vice versa, you can usually deconstruct a date outfit to be pretty casual. Why don't you choose your own style instead of going by what a magazine tells you? :)

    I think you should change the title of your thread and ask the girls for help. Let them tell you what they like.

    god knows i'm fashionably hopeless and have to usually get tips from either a girl i'm dating or "girl friends"

    Best of luck too you but don't try to hard you want to make sure that you are yourself you know.

    Sorry, bro. I wouldn't have any advice for you anyway as I never tried any strategies to meet women. It just happened with me being me and there's no way I can provide a rationale explanation for how that worked. I'm as surprised as anyone.

    Lukin's completely right. Plus dress with anything you like. Just be comfortable and make sure YOU like it. Once in a while it's nice to dress up for someone else and make them happy, but that's more of a relationship thing. To meet people, you gotta be comfortable and happy with yourself first.

    Shit, I wear pinstriped and plaid pants/shorts all the time and dress them down with a t-shirt. I just found a way to make things work for me and the way I like them.

    I had a girl all of a sudden lose interest in me because I didn't drive a truck. What's worse? Dumped because of clothes, or because I wouldn't get a truck?

    Woman here.
    Go to a store and find someone to personal shop for you. Or at the very least, help you pick things out.
    This is a free service at most stores.
    Go to the Gap or Macy's, Old Navy, wherever your budget allows and ask one of the people that work there if they can help you pick out some clothes.
    Picking a cute girl will make it better, I would think.
    Also, yes, shower and clean yourself up.

    hahaha

    She's actually marrying a friend of mine now too. They're rushing into that...he's got a truck though. So it's destined. It's funny, when we met her, he was interested in her...she became interested in me...so me and her hit it off and he was like, yeah that's cool. It's not like I knew her yet. About a week and a half later, me not having a truck was all of a sudden an issue, I said goodbye, he said hello, she apparently was interested. I'm glad I got out early. :D

    Some people. I think I posted on that situation a couple years ago too here right after it happened. I knew there were shallow people, but I was just like....WOW.

    I have a work truck. Well I had a work truck. I don't need it anymore.

    I had a hummer this past week too while out on assigment. Any of that good enough for you?

    That wasn't good enough for her though. I needed a personal one. Not my work one. Because I never brought it home. Some people just want more more more. I never knew you were the same way. I feel so dirty now after letting you reply to my posts.

    Hi, I'm eyedclaar, you might remember me from such sarcastic posts as... uh, every single one I've ever made. I don't give a fuck if you have a truck or not, but I did enjoy rhyming truck and fuck just now.

    Dude
    develop your own style

    take it all in mags catalogs what you see on the street..etc

    99% of my shopping is done at Jos A. Bank, brooks brothers, patagonia, rei type places and LL bean.

    not one for high fashion at all.
    Some might say preppy crunchy.
