iris219 Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Sounds like quite a boring look, you need to get some style. I didn't ask for nor do I need fashion advice. It's not nice to give your opinion when it clearly wasn't asked for. Somedude asked for opinions and has even made a thread devoted to it. I was trying to help him. I'm not sure you why you took offense to that. Clothes are one of the first things I notice about men, and it's important to be well dressed, even when you're wearing casual clothes.
KungFuJoe Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Were you not even into that kinda stuff at the time? I'm not sure if those were ever in, but I'm pretty sure when they were in, I was probably wearing nothing but basketball shorts, tshirts and my air jordans. All I did in my late teens/early 20s was play basketball 24/7.
iris219 Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Cute. Yesterday I had on tan jeans, a long sleeve blue and grey thin striped t-shirt, navy cardigan, and grey converse all stars. Aww. I like guys in Converse. This is fun! I'm going to make a "what I wore today" thread in the off topic section. 2
somedude81 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 and the watch seems a bit "douchy". Big watches are OUT. Really? I love that watch. Do you have any suggestions? I would need it to be casual everyday wear and be digital. I am somewhat dyslexic and it takes me too long to read an analog clock. You could stand to lose a few pounds, but you aren't seriously overweight or anything like that. You could probably trim up nicely in a month or two if you were serious about it. Maybe even a month if you are young and your metabolism is high.Yeah I know I'm not that overweight. As I said before I'd like to gain mass and that's a bit hard to do while trying to lose fat. As for the clothes...eh. It's casual wear so not much can be said. I don't dress much better when I'm out when it's hot, although, imo, I don't like the shirt (the hem lines are awful and it doesn't match your shorts) I know the shorts don't match the shirt. I never cared about the shirt hemlines. Grey is your friend. Seriously. Grey goes with EVERYTHING. Every item of clothing I have (shoes, belt, pants, jeans, shirt, dress shirt, ESPECIALLY suits) I have in grey. Don't get too crazy with grey though cuz it can get boring.Yeah, grey really isn't my thing. There is a HUGE difference between being unique and being sloppy. Calling my look sloppy is going a bit too far don'tcha think? SD, this would have been a better look for you, notice how the t shirt is a color in the shorts. http://www.shoppersbase.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/canterbury-plaid-shorts.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jvA-1UBvysg/TTR9XwwJ7NI/AAAAAAAAAio/chHEr8-sAOI/s400/plaid+shorts.jpg http://aka-img-2.h-img.com/media/img/b/hn/3208981/4835173718951421056.400_600r Thanks for the links. Except for the solid color shirts, I always try to wear a shirt that matches my shorts. That picture is one of the few exceptions and I was probably not that focused on what I was going to wear over the fact that I was going to spend the day with a girl I liked.
Lonely Ronin Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Except for the solid color shirts, I always try to wear a shirt that matches my shorts. With shorts like that you pretty much always want to go with a solid t-shirt. That picture is one of the few exceptions and I was probably not that focused on what I was going to wear over the fact that I was going to spend the day with a girl I liked. That is when you want to be the most focused. 2
GirlontheLam Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Personally i think the sexiest things about anyone are the things you can't initially see. You have to delve a bit deeper for the truly astonishing things in everyone. I find dry humor and sarcasm really hot.

I am a compulsive non-matcher. Today I was wearing electric blue cigarette pants, a black hello kitty tee, a fuchsia cardigan and fuchsia driving loafers. Somedude: I think that your outfit seemed "off" due to the watch. Too heavy. Too sporty. You can keep the t-shirt in my book. The shorts were pretty "neutral." That red color was OK, but the fabric seemed really distressed for the shorts. I think a similar colored polo would have been better or more casual shorts.
dasein Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Don't usually participate in the "am I attractive" threads unless they hang out on the front page for days, but don't begrudge them either. I don't see the connection between such threads and expecting looks to get what one wants, just folks who want anonymous opinions on their looks for the most part. Friends and family blow smoke and often aren't blunt enough, and there are few forums for people to post "rate my looks" threads and get an objective, impartial answer. New posters don't really know what this forum is and could think it's fair game for "hot or not" type threads. Based on the name, trade dress and coloring, many probably think it's a 99% female forum and so a perfect place to ask an impartial anonymous female audience about looks. Little do they know...
IT Geek Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Its also interesting to note that different looks often attract different people. I don't often attract people that I expect at times . And some looks attract none.
IT Geek Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Personally i think the sexiest things about anyone are the things you can't initially see. You have to delve a bit deeper for the truly astonishing things in everyone. But once again, looks are required to get your "foot in the door" for people to delve deeper.
sweetkiwi Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Yes. If you're talking about shallow people. And what are looks anyway?? Style, energy, approachability? I talked to my ex for a few reasons. Smile, green eyes, and he's a capricorn. He payed close attention to me while i spoke since English is not his first language. Upon watching him i realized how gentle he was. I liked his energy. If he was ugly it would be the same story. Im not the "average" woman however. But there is hope. For everyone. If you can't see that no amount of style and facial reconstruction surgery in the world will help.

All I did in my late teens/early 20s was play basketball 24/7. In the UK they were really big.

What you did was rude.
Disenchantedly Yours Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 I'm talking about the men and women who ask us if we think they're good looking or not. The ones who post how they're so ugly or even talk of how you can "fake" being a good looking person...believing you'll instantly be loaded with quality people to mate with. Do you all seriously think looks alone will get you success? Do you think if we all say you're good looking that you're entitled to a girlfriend or boyfriend? I've seen men who claimed they were good looking, but couldn't understand why they can't find "quality women". They never seem to "get it" that their personality, lifestyle, and lack of any goals in life are much of what drives women away. "Loser" isn't relegated on looks. Fantastic post grkboy!
