"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.

I have a question that has been nagging me for a while now. Previous to now, I have always dressed casually for a high school student, t-shirt, shorts, etc. but I have always enjoyed wearing a suit or at least men's casual business attire. So, I went over to my local good will and picked up a large assortment of cheap suits. My question is, would wearing suits (or just dressing more formally than expected) negatively impact my attractiveness? I understand that the most important characteristics are confidence, ambition, etc. (yes, I have read the DJ Bible) but I just am unsure about the whole suit business; I just don't want people thinking I am a weirdo.

Just for info about myself in case you are wondering I am 6'1" and weigh 165 and have a decent build.
Here is a picture, just in case

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Edit: I figure most people would not find anything unusual about wearing a suit but I am talking about High-School age people here, just keep that in mind.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Ah, thanks for the tip and the link, I think I will just stick with my previous plan then but throw in a little variety, maybe a jacket on cool days, and some long pants that aren't part of a suit.

I'd say it's a bit wierd.... Although... there was one kid who wore full suits to our school a lot... he was pretty popular. It was his 'thing'.

For suits... You gotta get french cuffs. Stand out...get a cool hat...Fit in but be different...

You would look like a 15 year old that has his mom dress him. Do you really want to go that route? Either that or a rich prick that has too much money for his own good.. which could be good in the long run.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

matters on the suit... and how you wear it.

If you went out french cuffs... Power tie. Pocket hankerchief. Stuff like that... A tight hat... You'd look rich.

But you have to have a reason why your wearing it. Not an excuse a reason...

Plus you have to fit the profile of the suit. you can't just go ganster to suit...Unless its a gangster suit... anyway..I'd stick wit normal cloths...suits for nice occasions
