Just to tack onto this conversation:
Do most of these guys know what they look like? There's nothing wrong with looking your best, in fact I'd recommend it to anyone, but honestly, most of the guys I've seen look like dorks in nice clothes. I'll whole heartedly include myself in this group, but at least I'm knowledgeable about it. I know I'm a bit funny looking and the best I can hope to pull off is well fitting funny looking. That's ok. Some of these guys seem to think that putting on nice clothes makes them some sort of superhero amongst the population.  A properly coordinated Brioni tie enables them to scoff at the guy in accounting that wears ties from JC penny. Even if the guy from accounting is significantly better looking, more talented and a harder worker, they seem to think their clothes give them magic powers. It's weird and it feeds upon itself. One guy posts a picture and people tell him how good he looks so the next guy posts and the first guy tells him how good he looks and then the third guy posts and then everybody is giving each other back rubs about how they are now the power elite.
In real life your physique and general good (or not so good) looks tend to overpower anything you put on your body and that fact seems to be forgotten and even attacked the few times I've seen it brought up.
Try hard gentlemen but realize your limitations. Your Brioni may make make you a superhero on the internet but in real life you're still funny looking. (and so am I)
Maybe that's whats so attractive about these places, you can be the best looking guy on the board simply by buying the best looking clothes.

I have always seen the Internet as modern day Music Hall.
A new turn every five minutes.

Ahhhh - The early days when nobody had quite 'got it' yet!
I think most posters are actually sane... The Interweb is just their chance to bay at the moon.
