Re: What Women Want

I don't know if it's significant, but a fair number of the "women" panelists on the HerTaste.com site were still in their late teens. While 18 and 19 year old girls can be scrumptious to the eye, they are not a demographic from which I (or I suspect most forum members) would seek counsel on matters sartorial.

Re: What Women Want

Interesting.

However in the last day, and you guys know what Im wearing these days, aggresively striped suits, Acorn shirts in bold stripes or checks, patterned ties, pocket squares, three women have complimented my outfits. Last night a woman with sparkly eyes sat next to me on the train and said, "I love your suit", I love the material and started fondling my arm. We ended up talking for the entire trip. Interestingly, the suit was a navy 13 oz lesser chalk stripe superfine which I always consider a bit old fashioned looking.

This morning a woman said she liked my pocket square and I thanked her. She didnt fondle me but then it was morning and another woman at starbucks who was getting me my coffee said she loved my suit. I told her that she obviously had excellent taste.wink

But a couple of weeks ago I was in the elevator and this English girl butted into a conversation I was having with a coworker about allergies asking if I were allergic to redheads? I turned around assuring her I loved redheads. Then she said  assertively "You're a very dappah dressah". My coworker (a woman) was both stunned and impressed  that a pretty stranger would chime in like that. She now calls me "dappah" with a mock English accent.


Basically good grooming and your own style carried off well is positive and you dont have to select things women pick for you. Although for picking up the girls you want, letting them select clothes for you isnt a bad idea, as long as they see them on you personally.

I have long been of the opinion that if women think it's uncool, the reverse is often the case. This does not just apply to clothes.

Re: What Women Want

I've just asked Mrs Formby why do women like men who dress in colourful and boldly patterned clobber. She said that it is because it makes him stand out from the other men which in turn shows that he is confident, very much his own man and doesn't follow the crowd. Women, she said, find this a very attractive quality in men. Perhaps Mrs Monkey could chip in with some more feminine insight....

Re: What Women Want

From what I've observed, there is no defect of character, physique, conduct, or turnout that a woman will not happily overlook if the right amount of money is involved.  As Cindy sang: "Girls just wanna have fun."


“You know that saying, 'Caesar's wife is above suspicion'? Well I put an end to all that rubbish!"..”
