yes, be yourself and just don't look like a slob.

although do stay away from ed hardy-type graphic T's.

9/17/2013 10:47:27 AM

just to re-post:

So now that we've covered the "How to dress" portion-- maybe the OP, if he wants, can tell us more about his experience with the ladies.

When was your last committed relationship? How do you approach girls? How many dates do you go on until it fizzles out? What do you talk about? What type of girls do you go after? What type of girl do you want?

RL clothes look good and are comfortable.

Their shoes and belts are nice too.

9/17/2013 11:03:32 AM

RL is meh

Hey if you're a Jersey Shore guido, trying to attract a Jersey Shore guidette than you should 100% wear that Ed Hardy. Don't forget that industrial-strength hair gel though.

I think the OP might've abandoned this thread to go wardrobe shopping...

9/17/2013 11:22:23 AM

the takeaway from this thread should be that yes, the problem is you. anyone who tells you not to change yourself is wrong, you should change yourself.

9/17/2013 11:26:11 AM

RL owns Chaps.

Its their cheap line.

9/17/2013 11:27:07 AM

which is why i said, "better than chaps i guess"

they are both crappy, one is slightly better

9/17/2013 11:27:51 AM

Chaps is a licensee brand. it's actually under the PVH umbrella now with the likes of Van Heusen, CK, Tommy, Izod and a bunch of others.

9/17/2013 11:29:56 AM

Why is RL crappy (just curious)?

What about all those others? Izod etc.

9/17/2013 11:30:46 AM

^^similar to Lauren by Ralph Lauren line of cheap suits

[Edited on September 17, 2013 at 11:31 AM. Reason : ^all of those are meh]

9/17/2013 11:31:24 AM

nothing is wrong with them. some people care about brand names more than others. some people care about the fit, feel, and fabric more than others. find your medium.

9/17/2013 11:33:00 AM

meh doesn't mean they are bad, just that they are nothing particularly special

9/17/2013 11:33:54 AM

The OP hasn't posted here in 3 days.

Therefore, the advice giving phase is over.

9/17/2013 11:35:22 AM

i'm still posting because the terrible fashion of so many users on this site entertains me, i was under the assumption that chit chat is the section to be entertained

9/17/2013 11:40:25 AM

The fact that fashion (or lack thereof) is entertaining to you seems ridiculously sad.

9/17/2013 11:43:26 AM

metrosexuals are somewhat amusing... kinda like flamboyant gay men

9/17/2013 11:47:15 AM

but at least I know what kind of clothes to wear

9/17/2013 11:47:45 AM

9/17/2013 12:30:39 PM

so you're generalizing and saying all women love your style? or just the ones that are hotter than kate upton and wear lots of make-up and jewelry and whatever is in style that season? i swear, you've got a lot of the qualities of a sociopath. or you're a decent troll.

9/17/2013 12:37:34 PM

the women that anyone would actually want like my style

i guess the girls who go for dudes in ugly doc martens or cargo shorts probably don't, but i'm only talking about the women that anyone would want

[Edited on September 17, 2013 at 12:39 PM. Reason : can't forget cargo shorts]

9/17/2013 12:39:34 PM

This is my most successful thread so far...

And as far as any advice the only thing I will follow is to not join a social group just to find girls or you will come off as creepy, join to be more social, don't remember who put that but seems like solid advice

9/17/2013 12:47:40 PM

dtownral, please post of pics of you and your gorgeous wife. if you're so confident about how handsome and stylish you are, and so confident that all the beautiful women in the world want you, why don't you share that with tww? tww wants to see this god of a man. unless your entire tww persona is just an act.

This could be a fun exercise.

1) About a year ago.
2) Thinking about it, I don't do a lot of approaching. I go out a bit, but it's usually with a strong group of friends so there's not a lot of trolling for bar ass going on. Women I meet are usually through friends, but I have tried internet in the past.
3) Depends. North of 3 dates, but usually south of 10. It's hard to quantify what a date is and isn't.
4) I suppose I'm more attracted to the quiet/nerdy/alt type of women (otherwise read as women I usually share common interests with), but again it seems like a hard thing to quantify.

9/17/2013 12:48:31 PM

i'm actually 400 lbs and wear cargo shorts without boxers because i often get surprise boners and boxers tent up. also, boxers sometimes smell of shit when i smell other people's boxers, so i stay away.

2. If you plan on meeting women you should approach. If you're not comfortable IRL you can do it online, but one way or another you'll need to approach. The friend thing is with a really small pool and leaves a lingering awkwardness if things don't work out.
3. Make your intentions clear, there should be no question to either of you that you are interested in one another and that you are going out on a "real" date. Otherwise you are just wasting time.
4. Get skinny, don't lift, run/walk/swim. Wear fitted clothes, either long sleeve button up and skinny chinos or a blank t shirt and skinny jeans (not super skinny, just slim or skinny). Most girls I know of like that go for a David Tennant, James Franco, or Benedict Cumberbatch kind of look.

just get some molly and go out to the clubs/bars. you'll talk to more women than you can handle.

9/17/2013 1:12:51 PM

Been seeing this girl lately. I hit her up nearly every time, initiated the fact that i was attracted to her, and we have been hooking up for over a month now. I would totally date her but she doesn't seem like she wants anything serious, just wants to have fun so I'm not going to press it and see how things go. I will approach and attack the shit but stay laid back enough to not get crazy about titles etc. I have always had success doing things this way. Sometimes its good to disappear for a day or so and stay a little mysterious, but don't be so mysterious that it comes off as sketchy. There are fine lines with how you play the shit. Just because you have accolades doesn't equate to girls flocking to your d like you're some celebrity.

9/17/2013 1:16:17 PM

if you try to follow some random guide to meet women then you're gonna have a bad time.

Unless you're comfortable in your own skin, you're gonna come off as awkward and you will be detected.

is this the coworker chick....?

whatever happened with that

9/17/2013 1:20:30 PM

nahhh she was a floozy but I actually ruined it. I got wasted drunk on a Friday a few months back and my ex called. She wanted to come see me the next day and i gave her my (new) address. Saturday, I awoke and was hanging with work girl when my ex shows up at my door (which I had totally forgotten about). The work girl freaked and wanted to leave, so I had her go out of the back door as my ex came through the front to dissuade any altercations. She no longer works here, and we don't talk anymore.

This encourages doing nothing. You're not going to get better results by waiting, you're going to get the same results. Make yourself better. Work for the things you want.

9/17/2013 1:25:12 PM

you can change yourself, but not if the changes make you uncomfortable

work within your own framework

This seems like the whole changing yourself thing all over again, which I think we've covered. I'd be comfortable in none of those clothes, which would come across in my bearing. I'm not overweight but by nature not built to be a 'skinny' dude, and with a shaved head I'm pretty sure I'd never look like any of those guys even if I could turn myself into a stick. I'd rather stick to who I am than dress myself up to be something I'm not.

9/17/2013 1:48:43 PM

Chicks dig fit dudes. really who the fucks cares what clothes you wear as long as you look good in a swim suit. do you fuck with your clothes on?

9/17/2013 1:56:57 PM

i think the biggest problem with the OP is that he fucked up and moved to Greensboro.

9/17/2013 2:01:15 PM

I think I can shed a little light onto this matter.

My name...oh, let me tell you my name, I'm confused. Because, uh, you know...like we're supposed to believe in the ministry, right? So is the, uh, is the church and state supposed to be separate? I'm confused cause I never went to school. Right? Does a confused person...get a resolution? I don't understand. You see, when you go like that, right, you have a cross – two sticks, right? And that's how I felt when I was in Waterloo, cause when I walked in Waterloo and smiled at people they treated me like a vampire. They used a cross and they went like this by not smiling at me. In Toronto – hey, hi guys! you know me – Steve Spiros, easy going? Those who know me, I'm a nobody, you understand? And you can't kill a person with no body! So why am I afraid? I'm not afraid! I'm afraid of the boogeyman. Who's the boogeyman? You figure it out! I'm getting outta here! I'm going back to Waterloo where the vampires hang out. And I'm gonna wear my sunglasses at night. You know why? Because women show their tits! Have short skirts! And then they feel violated when I look at them! Why? Cause I have sunglasses on and I'm weird. Uhh, I'm from Humberside...I'm sorry if I made a fool of Humberside. But to all those people who called me a sleepwalker, I woke up! Now I'm going back to sleep cause I'm gonna be committed in an isolation room because I'm gonna go back to the ministry and allow them to perceive me as I am – a fuck up! Goodbye! Hey, Toronto's good. Look at...look at this square! It was a shithole when I worked here. Now it looks like New York, Manhattan! Where are the bums? There's no bums here! Toronto doesn't have bums! But Waterloo, they're creating bums, they created me – why? I don't know, maybe it's the church! Talk to the pope, he knows everything. I've had it! I'm gonna die! How can you die when you're dead!? Oh, wait a second. I'm gonna be crucified, right? I'm not gonna raise my voice.

Conveniently chosing the option that doesn't require you to do any work, how noble of you. It's not selling out, it's working for what you want. But if you want to be a fat lazy slob and don't want to change anything, why'd you ask for advice? Did you just want people to stroke your ego?
