    good looking people look good no matter what they wear.

    Like a hot guy with a trilby hat and a Naruto tshirt can still pull game. While a ugly neckbeard in an expensive suit would still have a difficult time getting a single date.

    I swear some women are as clueless about men as men are about women. I’m sure huge amount of this is because schools insist that sexed is gender separated.

    Why is wearing glasses and pyjamas supposed to be a turn-off?

    You know when women go on about how they have to have a different dress for every party, it is literally only women the care. Men aren’t going to even notice if you’re wearing the same thing two dates in a row. The catty comments come from other women. As a man I don’t have nice clothes, I just have clothes. If we’re going on a date I’m just going to be wearing clothes, I don’t have special items that I only wear on a date so I am really not going to mind if you don’t either.

      She’s gorgeous, university educated, funny, but I can’t believe she’d wear those shoes to 2 consecutive social gatherings! No way I’m touching that pussy now.

      Dude no shade. But also not all dudes are the same.

      For example, I care what a girl wears. I don’t care if she wears it many times, but I care if she dresses nicely and works on looking nice. Also I have multiple suits, different clothes for sports, work, camping etc.

        I’m kind of in between you two… I find people attractive when they appear to be comfortable in their own skin. If that’s in a hoodie and ripped jeans and combat boots, hell yeah. If she’s a “girly girl” and you can tell she just really genuinely enjoys dolling up and having everything look on point, also hell yeah.

        Yeah but PJs are sexy. If she is comfortable wearing pyjamas around me that’s great in my opinion. I’m unclear about how exactly this is supposed to be something I would be turned off by, and why that is therefore “a filter”.

          You’re allowed to have preferences, but I don’t understand how you’re having difficulty understanding that other people can have preferences different from your own.

          I like when people dress up differently for different contexts. Pajamas can be sexy in some settings, but look sloppy in other settings. I’m not asking people to follow my preferences, but I am asking that you be open to the idea that these other preferences exist.

      I had an ex at one time who would get mad that I didn’t check out other women.

      Like, she would assume I was doing it, but then when she realized I wasn’t it would turn into a fight about how I’m not and every guy does.

      When I’m in a relationship I really don’t have eyes for anyone else. The need to find someone just kinda turns off.

      She would also get mad and start a fight whenever I said she looked good without makeup, because I was a liar.

      After that relationship, self confidence became a huge checkbox I reviewed before entering any possible relationship.

        I hate makeup… i have told my wife for over a decade that I dont care for it and it looks worse in my opinion. She has mostly stopped wearing it or will do a small amount for big parties and thats it. She tells me to this day she doesnt believe me though and all I can say is that’s super sad.

      I have a nicer sort of clothes in my whole garderobe but only like one or two dress shirts or not too casual looking shirts and polo tshirts. That’s it.

    Not going to lie. I would be SO attracted to that. I am so very into people that can be their genuine self without pretending to be what society expects.

    I use a wheelchair a lot. I used to be shy about it and try to come up with a way to have the first time someone saw me be on my feet.

    Now I’m the other way around, I want prospective lovers to see me in my chair first. Learned that if they can’t get past that, it’s not gonna work.

    I’m meeting much nicer people. And I’m actually doing better at meeting people at parties.

    Crazy how being comfortable with a mobility device is more appealing than leaning on a cane with a pained expression on your face. 😲

      Do you have advice for meeting people? My cousin is having to use a wheelchair now, and she says as soon as guys find out, they’re gone.

      Were people generally accepting of your ambulatory wheelchair status? In my experience people assume that if I have a wheelchair I must be super-glued to it at all times, and make weird comments if I ever stand up

        Yeah, people have been super cool about it at furry stuff and kink stuff. But both of those scenes attract people who are able to understand that you can’t fit everybody in a box.

    My current wife used to wear makeup and fake eyelashes and right when we started dating i told her she was only going to ruin her face with that and that it doesn’t make that much of a difference.

    My wife is 11 years older than me and she occasionally puts on makeup to feel a bit better just for herself, we’ve been together for 6 years and married since August last year.

      Oof, I don’t think I’d like being told that. I don’t even wear makeup now that the better Korean and mineral sunscreens are available but for decades used foundation to protect my skin and it worked. I’m with you on the eyelashes but makeup is not in any way ruinous to skin and to come out the gate with a declaration like that, I would have found it so off-putting.

        They may or may not be doing permanent damage but women do a lot of horrific things to their faces with makeup, eyebrows, makeup tattoos, and surgery.

        There is a pretty big echo chamber with fashion and it can send things off the rails fast. Same thing happens with body builders, plastic surgery aficionados, and looksmaxers and basically any group you can think of.

    There’s an awful lot of comments here about women not knowing what men find attractive, for it being a post literally about a woman weeding out men by finding what they think is attractive.
