I don't think 90% of the US is even white.

Wanna know another one? You're an idiot. Generalizing cities/neighborhoods is asinine in itself, but an entire country?

Then let me rephrase - trash. 90% of US women are trash. EDIT: Sorry I said citizen when I meant women.

Oh come on, its true and you know it. But its nothing personal against the US, its the same in every developed country, unfortunately.

I'm sure that's not the case in Sweden or Denmark.

A friend and I went to the Latin Quarter on 47th and Lex the other night after work. We both had suits on - a group of women came over and commented on how nicely we were dressed and then thanked us for coming out dressed so nicely. They didnt appear to be employees of the club, but perhaps mens dress habits have really hit rock bottom . . .

A girl once insisted that I had to be a model based on the way I looked in my suit. I probably would have gotten somewhere if I had any semblance of an attractive personality.

I don't know who pissed you off when you were here, but I don't see a point in arguing with you. If you're ignorant enough to make such a generalization, then you're not going to listen to reason.

I've noticed that if I'm "out", like for drinks after work or at some other social event, dressing well definitely gets women noticing you. You want a big "come hither", throw a tie into the mix. They hoenstly cannot resist not coming up and touching it. It's an immediate conversation piece even with a pair of dark jeans. They'll notice you right away, watch you for a while, then work their way towards you.

Now here's where the white t-shirt and jeans comes into play. About the only t-shirts I own are white v-neck Polo undershirts. They're tight and they fit well. They're for when you're working around the house, or helping a friend move, or just goin to a movie with some babe. That's when she loves the t-shirt and jeans look. When you're being Rugged/Work Man, not Dressy/Classy Man.

Different clothes for different occassions. I love girls in little cami tops and boyshorts. But that doesn't mean I want to see them wearing that out. Same applies here.

case in point, you got their attention and then nothing.....you need bring something else to the proverbial table
