Traditionally there should be a little shirt cuff showing at the ends of the jacket sleeves when the arms are held at your side. Whether that's the current fashion or not, I have no idea.
Another thing, I hate how it's considered too small to be a jacket if you show some of the wrist. I like feeling the freedom of hand movement, ya know?

I'm not a fan of oversize shirts and jackets in general, which seem to be the norm these days. One reason I don't bother owning a suit is because the only way I could get one that didn't look ridiculous would be to pay a couple thousand dollars or more for something bespoke. I can't afford that and even if I could, I could hardly justify it since I pretty much never have occasion to wear a suit.
Once again I've met a guy who showed up with 3 day stubble. Not a beard, or mustache, but just stubble all down his neck and scattered across the cheeks. Nice enough guy, but he exaggerated his hobbies and career as well, so he is out of luck. He really liked me, too.
If you have 3 day stubble, you probably shaved in the last week or so. Why didn't you shave before coming out to meet me?
Do guys really think this is a cool fashion?
Are they just clueless about how bad it looks?
Is it a shield that says: Deep down I need someone to take care of me. OR Please don't expect much of me because I 'm not capable of much?
I am THIS CLOSE to putting one of those Don't Contact Me if you Can't Groom Your Own Facial Hair messages on my profile.
Sheesh.
I get bad ingrown hairs on my neck sometimes. When this happens, I have to use an electric razor to trim my neck which usually looks like a few day old stubble when it's fresh. Normally, I use a razor, but can't always. If I continue shaving to close when I'm getting bad ones, they just get worse. Using needles to get embedded hairs out is a bloody mess sometimes. I shaved last night because I have an important work dinner tonight, but don't always. Even when I was single it was always Tuesdays or Wednesdays and Fridays typically.
Also, with my job, it's a relaxed work environment. Jeans, boots, long sleeve t-shirt usually. I don't have to be clean shaven and usually am not. On a date, I would probably try to be more clean shaven, but it also depends on the girl. If I wasn't overly interested, I probably wouldn't make it a huge priority to shave first..
To be honest, it's easy for you to criticize these men, but I doubt you're perfect.. Is your make up perfect? Your hair?
Are you overweight at all? Do you exercise regularly? Do you eat healthy?
Your Screen name, "StageMomma," do you have kids? If so, why aren't you married? Why are you dating? That's far from "perfect" and probably a 1000x more of a concern than someone who isn't freshly shaved.
If you are perfect then all those ways, then maybe you can be a little picky. However I would bet $$ that you are far from perfect yourself, in which I say:
On the first date I had with the woman I'm dating now I wore flip flops, shorts and a North face t-shirt. I had a couple days stubble on too, I've always been told I look best a little scruffy looking. I honestly prefer to be clean shaving though.
She wore a cute top, short shorts and flip flops, no makeup and glasses. We still had a great time. I wouldn't want to be around such high maintenance women anyway. Probably wouldn't even go camping or hiking.
We've been hiking to peaks all summer, when we get to the top we change. She wears a dress and I put a suit on and we take a bunch of pics on each peak.
What, even a crafted look with different guards doesn't really take that long...
Sure it'll be longer than brushing and flossing teeth, but it's not that long.
Never said it did. All I said is it can take longer than dragging a razor across the face. Point was, a stubble look isn't done because one is lazy or careless or thoughtless.
Yes often, not as often as some guys but often. However when I'm on vacation I'll let my hair grow out provided it doesn't itch. Why do you ask?
