Some girl was telling me last night how she would love to eat Matthew Mc. (howver u spell his last name) because he was charming. I said what if Chris Farley was alive and charming. She just laughed, okay you made your point.

To tell you the truth, there are a lot of stereotypes of what "every man/woman loves", but it doesn't really matter. It is possible to find people who suit you.

If you want to be the best, (which is the second most important thing to being a macho man) then sure, try to compete with the world. I suppose women do it too, but we do it in more complicated, decieving ways. We all know women are lying bitches.

I tend to keep style and attractiveness seperate. I've never found they make a big difference.

Although there is clearly a minimum level, your clothes should fit you, and be in colours that work well on you.

"Pulling" is mostly about raw attractiveness. In a culture where even long-term relationships often are based on instantaneous pairings, it's not surprising that to many cosmetic procedures and fitness trump style.

Also, keep in mind that elaborate style signals a kind of pickiness. For instance, Stacy London doesn't seem to be the type who "hooks up."

Believe it or not, you can't pull off every look, most of the time you'll try and fail. c) dressing for guys. Usually fixes on the basic principle that people "dress" you up and down. It doesn't matter so much on what brand it is, but how it portays your body. Often means basic clothes which accentuate curves or skin. Can be tasteful or tasteless.
I've been discussing this post with my sister, *****. She would like to add "dressing to make a statement", but then she is in first-year university.

Also, just out of curiousity, who do you normally dress for? Your WAYWT outfits usually have nods to fashion, but you're obviously not a fashion-whore...so I'm going to guess guys?

confidence means more than anything else. you can be very good looking, dress well, and not be confident in yourself and no one will ever notice how attractive and well dressed you are. at the same time, you can be average and dress poorly, but pull beautiful women because of confidence in yourself.

trust me, i know all too well.

Even if you do say so yourself.......
