Do gals notice a guy's clothes and jewelry?

[ziggy29]

I think I went into the wrong line of work.

 

[bbbamI]

Mmmmm, bicycle cops....let's have a moment of silent contemplation, ladies.
Whew!


Now what were you guys talking about....the market? Whatever.

Yeah, Sarah and Khan...watchin' them live is poetry in motion....cue the music....

Sometimes they give public demonstrations of bicycling skills.

Biking is sexy. I lost 15 pounds since I started serious riding (and I wasn't really overweight). DW lost 25 pounds. Now our belts are loose. Sort of fit that gym reference a ways back or did that just refer to tight shirts?

When a man has been doing serious weight lifting, he either has to get custom made shirts and pants, or he has to buy them larger size to accommodate shoulders and butt.

plaid flannel shirts? only if chopping wood or some other manly-man activity is going on. and only with tight jeans, please.

I prefer my wood-chopping men to be shirtless.

Yes, we notice a guy's clothes. But I think being well-put together is more important than the cut or quality of the clothing. Just as with women, knowing what works on your body, what makes you comfortable, what suits your lifestyle is more important. I grew up in lumberjack country and the real lumberjacks aren't usually as sexy as the Brawny man. Bigger guts really mess up the lines of plaid jackets.

I'm not a big fan of jewelry on a guy, but earrings (in moderation) are cool and a wedding ring is always hot.

Biggest turn on: Ex SO shirtless, ponytail, jeans, barefoot, washing dishes.

I'll agree with you there -- men doing housework (especially the drudgery bits -- vacuuming, washing windows, scrubbing tubs, etc) skyrocket in their sexiness.

Ladies, anyone seen the book "Porn for Women" by the Cambridge Women's Pornography Cooperative? It's full of attractive guys doing fabulous things like cooking dinner. I've flipped through it at our bookstore -- hilarious!

No jewelry other than a MANLY ring and a watch. No going shirtless. No pastels. Love the five o'clock shadow as long as I don't have to make out with it. Jeans and a plaid flannel shirt oh yeah baby!

 

[Notmuchlonger]

I got a big gold chain and some bling bling I like to wear. The ladies love it. I also got some wicked old spice I like to layer on..

Good thing I've never posted the picture of me vacuuming the living room with Gabe in a little baby bjorn carrier hanging off my chest, wedding ring clearly visible.

I'd have to bar all the doors.

While I admire your pumpkin avatar, I'll just have to hold my breath.

I shall contemplate bicycle cops and the zen oneness of the all ...

I prefer clean-shaven guys with tasteful clothing. Not really into suits because they are a little intimidating. Of course it depends on the occasion. Just jeans and a neutral shirt work. Not a fan of plaid here.

Also not into jewelry on a man. One necklace is OK but none is better. Earrings make me think the person is trying to be different. Depending on the personality, it can be a good or bad signal.

 

[freebird5825]

Glad to hear it - that's what I wear when running a chain saw. If the weather's warm it's a t-shirt and tight jeans.

Suits? Well, I have some, but have only worn them a half-dozen times since I retired.

And those who earned the CFCE (certified computer forensic examiner) were awarded ceremonial pocket protectors.

EEEEKKKKKK - pocket protectors!!!!!
those were standard issue for engineers. TG i was a lady engineer and had no shirt pocket, or else i would have been given one too.
um...what is a CFCE?

 

[freebird5825]

yes, please remove the green thing.

Please don't wear this:

NYS Troopers have a lot of these young guys out on 2 wheels at a local lake beachfront town. OMG! I almost jaywalked just to have a chance to talk to them.

Your Honor, the buns made me do it!

[freebird5825]

i can redeem myself here... last year, i was pulled over by a handsome young Trooper while driving the real version of my avatar, with the top up. i think he was totally surprised to see a 49 yr old gal driving a hot car like that. he got a little flustered when he realized i knew why he pulled me over, i.e. no traffic infraction was involved. we had a very nice chat. and i milked it for quite a while, too.

 

[crazy connie]

Freshly showered and clean clothes to suit the days activities. Suits for weddings or funerals, slacks and shirt for most social events (unless summer in Phoenix and then shorts are ok), jeans and t-shirt for hanging around the house. Beard which is trimmed weekly or no beard is fine. A nice aftershave (Lagerfield melts me!!!). A bit of bling here and there.

I bought an ID braclet for hubby as a "just because" present years ago and the jeweler with a cancelled check was able to forge his signature on it. I took it off when he passed and am still holding it for our son.

[RetiredGypsy]

I can't figure out where the beach bum look fits into this. Rugged, or just sloppy?

 

[Sarah in SC]

Beach bum? Rugged, but must have had a bath fairly recently.

 

[Meadbh]

Shirtless, hairless, tanned & fit. One earring (discreet). Smoking is a complete turnoff. Tattoos are a no no.
