would you consider it pointless to dress up if no man ever compliments you or asks you out?
I'm going to need an example of your definition of "dressing up". This thread is useless without pictures or examples of what you are referring too. Because remember, one person's "dressed up" is another person's crazy cat lady outfit.
Men are to go through life and never expect compliments when they take the effort to look good? It's no different for us. We also like compliments from the fairer sex.
Males of all sorts of species, including humans, have to compete with each other for female attention/attraction. It's not just done the same way as females and their "sit there and look pretty" way of initial attraction.
i thought people dressed up for themselves and not others.
i dress up coz i always issue a fashion statement. With my exploits in the fashion board, you have a notion of how much of a hardcore fashion bum i am. It's all part of the crocodile's personality. That's how you should be, dress up to make a personal statement rather than for the opposite sex.

I love getting compliments. Being a man unless I know the woman it doesnt happen often, but it is appreciated and it can make my day
I find it hard to believe that people would only dress up for theirselves 100% of the time

That's a fact.
Yeah actually, if I dress up, it's purely for someone else. If I'm dressing for myself, it's a t-shirt and jeans. I don't need flashy/nice clothes to feel good about myself.
Also, OP, if you're dressing up and looking pretty to attract men strategy isn't working so well; why not move out of your "men are the pursuers, women are the pursued" mentality and try making the first move? Apparently, if you're already out there, you probably won't have an issue with that sort of thing, eh?
When I dress up, I want to think I look good, and I want other men to think so as well. How else are you going to attract the opposite sex?
Maybe they ARE thinking it, they just aren't ACTING on those thoughts. I know I think people around me daily are attractive or dressed well, but I never tell them.

Have you seen the hundreds of posts in these threads that have "I'd take the well-dressed, ugly man over the...yada yada"? It's apparently not just a woman thing and the clothes a man wears has an impact on women.

Is this your situation? Perhaps you are getting too dressed up and it's scaring the guys off. Overdressed up women can come off as potentially high maintenance gfs or the guys may feel like they have to get dressed up all the time as well in order to match what you are wearing... and they don't want to be like that. Even too much makeup or too fancy a hair style can turn the guys off also.
Try toning down your style a bit and see how that goes for you.
