Ever since I saw a link on here to a very helpful website, I've started to actually give a rat's azz about my clothes and I can already tell it helps with the women and more importantly with how I feel. Anyway, I bought a few pairs of pants and a few new pairs of shoes. Problem is, if I buy pants that are 30 inches, they highwater, 32 and they drag. I chose the dragging instead, but now I am afraid of ruining the bottom. Is there anything you guys do to keep them rubbing on the floor other than fold em up? I tried safety pins, but it looks tacky. Also, I have noticed that a lot of the so called fashion gurus say shoes are most important, which I can see being true. My questions on this are: How can one show off their shoes without wearing pants that are highwater? Also, something that has been bothering me is, I do not wan to wear my nice new shoes to bars/clubs because they always get ruined quickly. Seems pointless to me. Any ideas? Thanks.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I have a seamstress that I found, and I really trust her to take care of my stuff. My inseam length is an "in between" length too, so I know what you're talking about. DO NOT let your pants drag on the ground. They will fray and will look like shyt.
Just find a good tailor/seamstress to alter your inseam length. Mine charges around $10 for altering the length on a pair of jeans. If you spend a lot of coin on a nice pair of fitted jeans, it only makes sense to spend the few extra bucks to keep them looking nice and fitting well. Some guys are afraid to lose the "factory hem," but a good tailor will make 'em look nice.
Regarding the shoes, if they are a leather dress shoe, then you'll just have to wax and polish them on a (semi) regular basis. That's the bottom line. Also, get those shoe inserts that help them keep their shape when not being worn. Not sure what they're called. This helps tremendously in keeping them looking tip top.
Hope this helps...

I constantly have issues with my pants dragging. I'm 5'6 and a 30 is too long. I'm probably a 28. Unfortunately it's not possible to buy pants that are 32x28. Unless they are at some specialty stores.
Paying $10 to hem pants doesn't make sense when I paid $30 for them.

Dude just get them altered, everyone does. There are alteration stores everywhere, and they only charge like $10. All you do is walk in, put the jeans on, then they measure where to cut, then you pick them up in half an hour
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I feel for you, man. How often do you see a 29 in length? There's my dilemma.
American eagle has jeans in both 28 and 29" inseams. The problem being you need a 28-30 inch waist to get that inseam though. Thank god I can fit them. It sucks being short for no other reason than finding clothes that right properly.TyTe`EyEz said:

Exactly. So do we just drag them?? I usually pay around 30-40 for jeans, so ten does seem a lil pricey, but then again, it's worth it to have them not look like a dog chewed the hell out of the bottom. How bout the shoes? How do you guys keep shoes looking new if you wear them to the bars and clubs?? I friggin hate when people step right on the goddam toe of my shoes.TyTe`EyEz said:

I just let my jeans drag. They tear up a little bit, but nothing too serious. Then again, my jeans are only about an inch too long...Drewskie said:

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
I used to have this problem when I was younger, but was lucky enough to out grow it. Now im an in between with shirts, which is probably worse.
I have always gotten any nicer pants, slacks, etc. tailored to fit. I agree with all those that said to get a tailor if your spending a good amount of coin on the pants.
Though I'm not sure I'd worry too much about Jeans unelss they are really nice. Maybe find a nice pair of boots with bootcut jeans.
