Appearance?

[kingxxxman]

Is being Metro dressed the new way to get girls? Most guys that i see with smoking hot girlfriends dress like they're gay.... or is being metro okay? i don't wanna seem gay or anything by trying to look good/clean at least.

Here in Sweden there was recently a book published about men's style in which the writer stated that the "market" is getting tougher and tougher for men and that clothes, grooming and eventually makeup is becoming more and more important. And she also explicitely stated that nowadays a man van vare about his appearance without being labeled as "metro".

Don't know wether I believe her..haven't made up my mind yet but nowadays the average man dresses slobbier and slobbier...so maybe the trend will go in the other direction now.

Weird question. You wear the clothes that look good on you. If you look good in laid-back clothes, or something like flannel, then wear that.

What you wear should reflect your personality and the shape of your body and face. It's a personal choice. You can't just wear some other man's clothes and expect to inherit his success with women.

I used to dress in preppy stuff, and it didn't hurt me with the girls. But once I got confident in myself, I started to develop my own style and I got more women. Wear what makes you confident.

Yeah, just wear something that makes you feel good about yourself when you look in the mirror. Don't follow the trend that's going on and don't look like a bum.

Fit clothes are the way to go. Not too tight, nor not too baggy.

The clothes you wear are an extension of who you are. If you are a Richie Cunningham and decide to dress like the Fonz you arent gonna get any chicks, cuz ur persona doesnt match ur dress sense.

I'm in America in the South. Fortunately in my area metro never caught and and would get you called a fag. I hear in Atlanta the gay look is hot. The fratboy /preppy look still does it for most of the good ole girls around my way.

Just pick a direction!

EDIT: If you want to metro dress metro dress. Don't do it just to get girls though.

What is "metro" to you? This is a stupid question.

Style is about congruence. There is no one "in" "look".

Figure out who you truly are and then just dress accordingly with what appeals to you. The rest will take care of itself. It really is that easy. In other words, if you're a metro type of guy, be metro. But if you're not, don't do it just for approval. You'll be out of alignment with who you are, and you'll come across as trying too hard. Think Night at the Roxbury.

You never need to be a certain style. All that you need is a style period. One that is in alignment with who you are. It doesn't matter what it is. As long as it's genuine, it will naturally attract women.

Women love a well dressed man.It conveys power and pride. I have given this much thought. Shabby clothes make you look cheap.. Years ago I had a conversation with a woman... She outright told me that baggy pants are not good for seduction. She told me to wear tighter fitting trousers and you know what? Il was higher in general. I was amazed .

A Metrosexual is not a well dress man. It is a man who also gets manicures and has an extremely feminine side to him and you see that in his clothing and the way he moves.

Just like emo's, goth's,hipster's and etc it is just another way of standing out. I use to be a skaterkid and dressed like a punk til I realized that I don't really care about spending another $50 on skating shoes everytime it breaks or wearing what "skaters should be wearing". See shows like MTV tend to prepackage groups like skaters that only wear flannel clothing and converses, because it sells. I realized that I could skate just as well in my reeboks and any t shirt or jeans..

The thing about that fad and this metro fad is they all pass away, maybe 5 years from now metro will be "out" and they will have a new thing for their ideal man to wear! So you can keep continually to appease a hot woman's fashion sense... or make your own fashion and stop caring about how other men are dressing to get hot women.

That mystery method guy is seen with hot women but I think he looks like a fag. I'm not going to dress like him because he knows how to pull. I have other ways to pull without compromising my identity.

Wearing clothes that fit your properly and have some nice style to them go a long way. Girls love a guy with jeans that fit properly and a shirt that shows off a bit of skin, that is if you actually train in a gym seriously and have a decent body.

Otherwise it doesn't matter what you wear if you look like ****, nothing will help, its the equivalent of them ugly fat chics who wear designer **** and think it makes them all of sudden hot. SMH

So..more reason to take care of yourself. When you're a lean medium/big build with a small waist it's very easy to find great clothes and everything fits nicely.

That, what you said about Atlanta is very true. You gotta look gay to get most girls to notice you, especially if you're in the perimeter. If you do that sh*t back in New Orleans, you'd get called a fag and attract fags or get your ass whipped.

AFAIC I'm not dressing gay to get a girl. Being the size that I am, I don't look good in that metro stuff anyway. The skinnier, the better out there. There are other ways. And I'm exploring them.

Where in the South are you anyway?
