What jeans do you use for cutoffs? Is it okay if I buy a pair of Eternals and cut them? Do you cuff them to show the selvage?

This comment is fairly short-sighted. What if your job is so "high-wage" (the counter to your "low wage") that you cannot maintain a proper training schedule? Working as an investment banker, lawyer, etc (70-90 hours a week with extreme pressure to remain at work for as long as possible) is less ideal than a low wage job with a fixed amount of hours (ie 40-50 hrs a week).

A fine wool is so much more luxurious against the skin. I have a pair of cut off Incotex that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside... and the outside.

The shrinkage of wool during a shower is a detrimental side effect... or a beneficial one, depending on your mood.

Yes, a muscular body looks good; but vanity is the biggest turn-off.

It doesn't take much time at all to fit in a decent home workout, and if you're making that much money, there are any number of services that will cook you pre-made clean meals.

If you can't spare a half hour a few times a week, if you literally get up, shower, go to work, come home, then sleep, or if you're "too tired," then you've made your decision and you learn to live with the consequences of your priorities. You'll be able to afford nice suits, prestige hookers, and the finest health care, so it can't be all that bad, even if you end up stressed out and orca fat.

To me, working 80 hours a week for a high-paying job seems an awful lot like having two ****** full-time jobs, but people do it, so "different strokes" and all that.

What about not whining about your job situation regardless, and just working with what you have? At times in my career I've had to work very hard, and under a great deal of stress. At times like that I make an extra effort to allow some time for exercise, and to eat well. And even when I've worked long hours, I often had much more flexibility to structure my time than someone who is on a set schedule but fewer overall hours. If my job pressures were such that I couldn't take care of myself for extended periods of time, I'd change jobs.
It's not a question of "more ideal" or "less ideal". It's just a question of dealing with whatever your situation is.

I agree. A guy with the body of a professional tennis player or Olympic swimmer or Daniel Craig or male fashion model in GQ/Vanity Fair/etc. would look good in any clothes -- suit, jeans, t-shirt, swimming trunks, workout clothes, etc.
