I think its more important have a focus in life than to own the very best of cloths. Ever since I started to focus heavily in school, I find I can make more "mistakes" with with women and still be successful. Pick some thing you really want for your self and go for it. If its in education make sure to pick a major you love and can feel passionate about. In my case its Organic Chem. Take the harder teachers work harder than every one else, when people see that your willing to work "hard" at some thing and still make it look effortless. You will have attraction. I'm a typical American guy, but in college I am seen as an alpha male because I education as a priority.
