I have a couple pair of pleated pants that still look new and wonder are these outdated?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Are Pleated pants out of fashion?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

It depends on what you wear them with, they're either cool or they can make you look old.

wearing pleated pants is the equivelant to wearing a clip on tie.
please discard.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Ya, flat front is the way to go when it comes to suit and dress pant selection.
Some single pleat suits can still be pretty slick if the cut is nice, but very very rarely. And if it's double or triple pleats, should probably toss them out since you may look like someone's grandfather in them heh.
And if it's khakis, then flat front all the way.

We definitely need a fashion forum here to at least get the basics down.
I know since I have started wearing better shirts and pants and new shoes I am getting more attention from the ladies and respect as well. Today I was complimented on my new shirt it wasn't sexual but she said she really liked my shirt so something is definitely working so I am trying to get the pants down but looks like I will buy a couple more pair.

I buy my son pleated pants so on the few occussions he has to dress up the bottom of his pants dont' look like a war zone.
grown men should not have to wear pleated pants. not making fun of anything.. alot of guys just dnot' pay attention to fashion. My dad was big into dressing and therefore I was fortunate enough to pick up some fashion sense from my dad.
yes we do need some type of fashion forum.
at least your asking questions. that's good.
Go get you 2 good pair of ralph lauren pants, 1 tan and 1 navy blue.
