This has surely been brought up, but what the hell.

How much importance do you place on liking the style of your significant other, or potential significant other?

I'm gonna break it down very simply here:

Style for Men = Complex combinations of colours, patterns, textures, fit and how it matches who you are.


Style for Women = Does her ass look good in it?

It depends. With people who seem to put effort into their dress, I find their "style" tends to speak to their personalities and preferences. So it matters to me when someone, for example, dresses garishly in designer clothing (has never worked out for me). I need to at least appreciate how they spend their time. With people who obviously don't care, I find this is less a problem.

Celery, I'll give you that if the question is: "Do I want to hit it?" Over the long run, however, I find it important to like my gf's style. Is that too shallow?

A lot. Poor dress turns me off in a big way. I actually just started dating a girl that's a bit of a bad dresser... I would have asked her out months ago if she was a better dresser. When the opportunity first arose I can remember thinking that I really hated her boots and her jacket. Had she been less attractive, I would have passed completely, but I finally decided to ask her out last week because she's just too good looking to pass-up because of her clothes.

If things are going well in a few months time and I think it has potential, I will just take her shopping. A few items would make a huge difference.

Hmmm. At least you're looking past the superficial and removable (boots and jacket) to the merely superficial (looks). I take it you've spoken to her and find the conversation agreeable?

For the record, Mrs. T. was wearing a sweatshirt and shorts when I met her in a bar. For some reason I couldn't even determine the size of her rack. I chatted her up for a few moments and followed up a few weeks later.

Ha! Yes, conversation is good. I'm very superficial, but only to a point. I have a cut-off that I like girls to meet. If they meet it, then personality and intelligence become just as important. This one is well above the cut-off in the looks department, it was just her manner of dress I wasn't a huge fan of. I don't want to jinx it, but this girl is also really sweet and is very low maintenance as well. Having dated my share of high-maintenance bitches, it's nice.

My only style deal breaker is if she uses cosmetics other than MAC.

But aside from that, i've dated down to earth/granola to corporate to super glam.

I really don't want her opinion on how I look, or what shirt/shoes I should buy.

It matters a lot but not the most important thing. I couldn't date a women who wore Abercrombie or dressed distasteful or over exposed themselves.

Conne, I know you're fond of posting pics of "girls" you've "hooked-up with" but that is disgusting, even if all you got was a hicky.
