Dress like Johnny Depp minus 50 percent if you want women. Dress like Russell Brand minus 50% if you want women.


+1 Women are very attracted to a bit of "peacocking" in a man's dress. You shouldn't take it too far lest you look like a douchebag or a clown; as the OP says, the right approach is to dial it back but still dress with some daring. Dressing in this manner demonstrates to women that a man has confidence and individuality, and thus a higher status, than the Dockers and button down masses.

If interpreted too conservatively, the classic style can be awfully boring and fuddy-duddy, which I'm sure is not attractive to many women-particularly not the kind I aim to attract.

. Fortunately, with a little effort and imagination and some experimentation, it's not difficult to add a lot of panache to your classic looks.

I think this OP advice is great. The more men follow it: the more high-quality women will be flocking to guys like me.

Keep up the good work and don't forget to peacock your douchebaggery.

Is the compound word "peacock" ironic in this thread?

This thread does not deliver nearly as well as the GQ/Old man thread.

Glad I'm so ridiculously good looking that this thread is irrelevant. I wore my pajamas to a bar last night and got laid, that's how good looking I am.

For every generalization about 'what women want', there is a whole swath of women who say they absolutely loathe it.

When your navy Oxxford suits (which I do have) and your repp ties( which I also have) start driving women wild with desire, please post your after-action reports on this thread

Sounds like a 70s rock star. I think you've proven the OP point
