For security, sure. Then they'll turn around and bang someone else who looks good in jeans and a T-shirt behind the back of the suit guy.

Clothes are nothing and expressing to a girl your unrivaled interest in mens fashion can sometimes be a tricky thing to position as well. They certainly don't want a man that dresses better than they do

in order of importance from my perspective

1) physical appearance
2) confidence
3) funny
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10) dress

most women will be satisifed and have come to expect a somewhat status quo modern era caveman in boot cut jeans, NON-baller sneakers, and a frayed brim baseball cap. big, dumb, and fulla ***. if you choose to digress from that path (which most here on SF, have) you better have some attitude and personality. And if you can pull this off, as many can, +1. Because from my observation and experience, no girls wants a shy little wall-flower - whether they're in thousand dollar bewts and leathers or not.



Id be a little hesitant to put physical appearance number 1. Number of woman dating less than handsome guys has got to be significant. ****, I used to date a girl that thought Tom Selleck was the best looking guy ever - well Tom Selleck is definitely not hideous, but I would doubt he would make top 500 good looking actors.

being confident and being well dressed (or thinking you're well dressed) aren't independent variables

Girls much more so than guys are into a specific type

so like some girls will only date big guys or only skinny guys etc

there seems to be much less agreement among girls about what guys are good looking

There is no general answer to this question. I suppose you could do a study on a particular demographic of the female population and find out what that group likes but that might not be what the girl next door likes. Dress the way you dress and just go out and be yourself. You'd be amazed at how many women from varying groups are attracted to this.

As much as I'm made fun of on this board for looking like a girl, I've never had any issue finding girls who find me attractive. Just dress the way you want to dress and you'll eventually find someone who likes it.
This fagget is correct. If you want to dress for women, then dress into the subculture that the women you like belong to. uncontrol looks like an emo kid who only leaves the house to purchase the latest manga, so he gets with girls look like they do the same. You won't see too many guys involved in the hip hop culture with punk rock girls anytime soon. The stylish and messy look is the most versatile and closest one to being "universally attractive".
