Sean's AM Journal

[Shannon]

I have found that for me, dress directly and profoundly affects me on an emotional level, my self image and my response to the world externally. For me, dressing in jeans and a t-shirt is just a way to be lazy. I don't have to worry about doing anything much with clothes (ironing, hanging up, folding) if I dress that way.

But for me, wearing a set of clothes that reflects my inner feelings about myself is important, because it reflects this to others. Others, like it or not, do judge us based on how we look. Females especially. So for me to dress well makes me feel good about myself, and allows me simultaneously to express my level of self respect, as well as tell the ladies, "Yes, I am someone you want to get to know better, because I am a quality man." - which is important, if you want to not just attract them, but attract the right ones. How you dress will determine which type of woman you attract, because those you attract will naturally resonate to the type of man who dresses as you are dressed.

So if you dress casually all the time, you will not attract the higher quality women who resonate with men dressed as a higher quality man would, according to their expectations, dress.

Primarily, though, I believe a man should dress as befits his personality, and let the chips fall where they may concerning women.
