Over the years I've seen so many things talking about what women notice in men, and so often they say that oh yeah women really notice how a guy dresses, and what kind of shoes he's wearing etc.
I've always said I virtually never notice a guy's shoes. Tonight, I noticed a guys shoes.
I don't think I'd have been able NOT to, they were so overly shiny. And had a tortoise-shell pattern on them. From looking them up online when I got home I feel pretty confident in saying that they likely cost over $1000, and that's pretty much inline with everything else the guy was wearing. He was pretty buff and obviously worked out a lot, and the shirt that he was wearing was obviously custom-tailored to be body-hugging and show it off. Hair was styled, whole 9 yards. Absolutely, totally what all the articles and experts say is the type of look that women will see and think "yeah, there's a well-off guy who's got it together".
Do you know what I thought?
"Wow, that guy looks like he's really arrogant and egocentric. And spends way too much money and too much time caring about what people think about the way he looks."
I don't know about other women, but I'd much rather be with the guy with the muddy construction boots than the guy spending thousands of dollars to look like a magazine cover. I want a guy that comes across as real and genuine, not one that I know is presenting a carefully crafted facade.
Sorry for the rant, it just really struck me because it's something that the "experts" say that women really want and really look for and yet is totally wrong. Are there some women that will look at a guy like that and think "ooooh look at him"? Sure. But I'd question their motives. If you're interested in going after women that are just interested in the superficial then yea absolutely presenting them with something that's screamingly superficial is the way to go. If you're interested in a woman that's going care more about you and what kind of person you are than how much your clothing costs then really I wouldn't worry too much about what kind of shoes you're wearing.
Unless it's socks with sandals.
(oh yeah, Hi again. Apologies for any types or babbling, it's almost 3am and I'm desperately in need of sleep)
