Here in Florida, thats a critical safety violation. Who would wanna eat anything out of that kitchen? Ewwwwwww.....
He hosts the show from his home and just shows people how to throw meals together. He also has his dogs parading through picking up any morsels that may hit the ground. He isn't serving the food to anyone but himself.

I agree....and yet I have no problem with a man in his 40s wanting to "update" his wardrobe. I'd give the same advice to a woman in her 40s: you don't want to look like you are copying your 20 year old daughter, but you also don't need to dress like your grandmother.

I've been helping my 40-something year old (engineer...eeek! ) SO update his wardrobe.

What we did: purge the closet of all pleated, cuffed Dockers. Seriously.

Replaced those with flat-front khakis. Make sure the "break" is in the right place, over the top of the shoe.

All jeans are now a dark wash, and again, a slightly longer length.

Button-down dress shirts got a bit looser. Look for high quality fabrics like nubby linen or super-smooth pinpoint. I think a man with a great smile and a nice tan looks fabulous in a dress shirt with a button or two undone and the sleeves rolled up!

Polos, on the other hand, got a bit tighter (he has a trim, athletic build--- don't do this if you have a belly!). I chose punchy colors like kiwi and melon and espresso.

For casual wear, I like the "rugged outdoorsy" look on men, young and old. Stuff from Patagonia works for me. It says "fun" without being goofy.

I still think shoes are the hardest part for guys. Any one else agree?

I forgot to mention I am a short ass bulky thug looking asian sort of guy with a bit of pot belly. It only takes me 2 weeks of solid running to lose all that gobbly bits. I lose weight fast.

But there is this short guy that i cant get rid off standing infront of my mirror.

I would like to appear a bit taller and thinner as well as 10 years younger

Does anyone have a some photos to show me as well?

I love white girls but I am only able to attract the bad girl type that's after money and abit of fun. I don't have money so these sort of women are out of my league right now.

So what would young women in their mid 20's and 30s would like in a 40 year old ish guy?

Find pants that fit you, bro. A well-fitting pair of pants will definitely help give you the illusion of height.

Frizzy perm, unbuttoned shiny shirt, lots of gold chains, white shoes, huge initial ring, pierced earring on one ear.

In other words, if you want to attract women then funky is probably not the way to go.

Dress comfortably and come across as very neat (tidy).

Honey, if you want to attract something classier than "bad girls", then you have to dress the part.
I would suggest a visit to an upper end mens clothing store and just observe whats for sale there. You can translate that look at places like TJ Maxx, Ross, Marshalls, and so forth.
Loud colors just scream thug, classy guys dont wear screaming loud colors.
Buy some mens mags, like GQ, see what the clothing ads are featuring.

NO.

Fashion really depends on your personality, lifestyle, etc. Wear things that fit you and are in style. Loud "look at me" colours are dated.
