What clothing choices say about you? https://www.psychologistworld.com/body-language/psychology-of-clothing-dating-dress
"Firstly, let's consider the idea of how we seek to 'impress' potential partners. A study by Joseph Benz at the University of Nebraska surveyed more than 90 men and women with regards to the way in which they deceive potential partners whilst on dates. The researchers found that both genders tend to use deception when dating but for different purposes.
Males were found to try to impress their dates by emphasizing the security that they could offer the partner - for example, by exaggerating their financial position or by trying to demonstrate a preparedness to commit. Women, however, were deceptive with regards to their body image, exaggerating physical features in an effort to appear more attractive to their date"
Certainly I was not a participant in this survey because I do none of those hahaha. How they draw conclusions on this studies only God knows hahaha.
It's an interesting topic. For me I know what works and what does not when it comes to clothes. I know that I look great on suits for instance but it's too much. I remember I used to wear some nice fancy wall street type shirts and trousers when I worked in London and I came across like I was a CEO of a global corporation which was quite the opposite as I made basic salary hahaha. You really need to have some money even if you want to pretend you have money hahaha, I was getting by with noodles those days lol. It's funny because in some big corporations you see people dressed so formally and exquisite whilst they make sh*tty money but when you see them in the street you might think they are rich lol.
For me how it works is the more money I make the simpler my clothes get. Nowadays, my best outfit is a pair of jeans and a nice simple shirt. And this is only for dates. 90% of the time is either jeans and T-shirts or joggers and T-shirts. I look good in gym clothes. Well, I exercise a lot so it makes sense I wear gym clothes most of the time.
Women who like guys who dress well all the time wouldn't be for me. I am far too plain. There are a few occasions where I encountered acquaintances (both men and women) where I was with joggers at a cafeteria or something and I could see how they looked at me hahahahahahahaha. Or with corporate guys who looked me with contempt (while they didn't know I make more than them hehe). Life is a b*tch though, I have also encountered the same people at the beach, guess who was laughing then hehehehehe. I care about what really matters, how you look without clothes, that's what matters. I always laugh when I meet these people at the beach, especially the guys who have never exercised seriously in their lives and look like hairy pasta. Their expression is money!
Men need to look presentable on the first dates otherwise all the chicks would leave lol. It's more about showing that you cared enough to make some effort. Dressing up for a date for men it's work believe me. Although I have never been on a date where the woman was not dolled up I think it wouldn't be a turn off for me (given she didn't look like a homeless of course or smelled bad etc etc). Hygiene is a huge turn off, regarding clothing choices I really don't care. I mean if a woman has nice butt for example, joggers are sexier than jeans in my opinion. I guess bottom line for me is just exercise to look good for real hahaha
