I just moved to a new city about 10 months ago, so these women that are noticing me now, did not know me back then.


So why the reason for a dramatic jump in female attention, from like hardly nothing to a very decent amount? Is it because women are superficial and only want a man who wears nice clothes and looks handsome? I just don't understand it, b.c I'm the same exact person as before.


But I do think I know the real reason behind it. I think it's because women want a man who can take care of them. Also women want a man who can take care of himself. And then eventually one who is able to take care of their future kids as well. And if a man doesn't dress well or take care of himself, the woman assumes that he won't be able to take care of her or any future kids either. I guess that's a reasonable expectation for them to have.


Thoughts on this matter? It's just so strange to me to see this dramatic jump after only a slight improvement.
Things from other topics that apply here.

Women like a man dressed up

Women like money

Women like sex

So my man you are now considered sexy...Enjoy it champion. I think its dope you getting your dress game right. As a man I say keep up the good work women like you more, men like you less. If some of the girls offer free sex...than take it, if she is trying to get you to spend,
then run!

Dont worry about a womens motives...just close your mouth and listen man. They will tell you everything on their mind even when trying not to. Right now your ears are your best asset.

It's for the same reason a nicely dressed woman will get double-takes from men, it's the way both sexes are wired. Contrary to what women say physical appearance is numero uno.

I politely disagree. Image is important. If ya look good ya feel good. Men that dress well are the minority and stick out. Women dont notice many things around them. So standing out is ok

In my opinion women take an unfair beating in this "are they shallow or gold diggers" routine.

Here is how it works and if you don't like it lodge a complaint with mother nature. She's over there and she's a billion years old.

This might come as a surprise but women have the babies. Babies take a lot of work by a dedicated couple to raise to adulthood and any woman with an ounce of brains should determine in her mind what kind of a provider and supporter will her mate be?

It's done all the time in the animal kingdom. Female eagles will not made with an eagle that has a broken wing. Seeing as how it's up to both male and female to raise young is the female eagle being shallow? I mean the eagle with the broken wing is the same eagle he was before he broke his wing.

Not surprising women take notice because you appear you might be a better provider. The women are not shallow, they are not gold diggers but they instinctively know it's insane to mate with someone that doesn't appear able to provide.

So why do so, so many women have babies with loser guys? I see them all the time falling for the "sharp" guys and then winding up in a bad situation.

I'm in a 3 year relationship with a gorgeous woman who just got her PhD in neuroscience and I dress like a total slob. I have two pairs of cargo pants that I bought over 5 years ago and paid $5 for that I wear about twice a week. I own 3 shirts that have buttons. 2 pairs of slacks. Have owned 1 suit in my entire life.

I don't see the correlation between women and clothes.

OP: she's not being shallow, she's being smart. A man who cares about his appearance will be much more interesting than a man who is a slob.

Wearing clothes might make you feel more confident and thus better with the ladies as well. But it's true, women care about stuff like that. It seems that when choosing a mate they often care less about the man himself but what he can do or the universe that revolves around him.

Men put an enormous amount of emphasis on the looks of a women. I have read several times that looks of a women is one of the things men take into consideration when choosing women to see. Women consider looks to, but it isnt the most important aspect in choosing a man.

Your getting that extra attention because you have put extra attention in yourself. When a man's confidence increases, whether it be through clothes or attitude, women naturally take notice. You shouldn't feel that women are being shallow. They are taking notice of something that you obviously want to put out there. Go with it!
