To pull the pin off another grenade, I'll put out there that her pents are superior in fit and finish to the 5-6 pairs I've had made up by Salvatore...


Disagree, but maybe I just need to tweak the fit of my NSM pents. I find Ambrosi's to be a bit more .... something. Nothing wrong with the NSM pents at all but the Ambrosi's fit me better.

I wear them at my natural waist, and every time I unbutton my coat, I wait for friends to gawk (yes, they do) about why I have my trousers pulled up so high. Sighs. High-waisted trousers are not a lady-magnet. That much is certain. Well, you can't have your cake and eat it.
Dressing "well" is not a lady magnet, anyways. You want to be a lady magnet, wear a black suit with a black shirt and a black tie. Everything skin-tight, of course. And the pants should sit at your natural thighs, not even at your hips.

Just tell them that a smaller pair doesn't cover all it should. That's why you have the pleats, also.


That's a good one. Ha.

I'm not sure the meth-induced goth girl is whom I have in mind. :D

I disagree 100%, and I am the undisputed SF creepy-old-man-expert on these things (or at least I am declaring myself so)

If its only at your thighs then how are people suppose to see the awesome boxers you are rocking?! I ask my tailors to have my trousers sit at my knees......

I suppose it depends on the lady. I hang out with girls in their late 20's and I can assure you that pants at the waist, braces and plaid jackets are the best of repellants

Thankfully I don't wear that on weekends. But for them, suits should be worn "like a modern, young man" and that means what I described previously. That, or one of those Zara low-rise, short-jacket monstrosities.

Just to make my point clear, when I say "dressing well" I refer to wearing coat and tie like Grant, Connery, Astaire, etc... did. The "old-fashioned" way.

Sigh, there is a lot of truth to this :brick:

Good thing I'm married so I can wear whatever I goddamn well please.

Which usually means SF-approved high-waisted mid-grey trousers, blue shirt, and plaid jacket :D

Let's be real here, fellas. If a man's style of dressing really tipped the scales for women, almost no men would ever get laid.

. . . .


You are just hanging out with the wrong girls, or they're too old. Around 25 is the sweet spot . . . .

But back to the important stuff: Vox has resolved the issue with this important and informative graphic.

Not where I live really. The problem is it attracts contrived hipsters thinking I am in a really great costume. They also think I am an interesting artist. I love seeing them become more disinterested as they talk to me.
