If they were dressed terribly I doubt I would go on even a first date with them. My dh dressed ok when I met him, he had some AWFUL things he wore to the gym, but some nice things to work, and some in between. Now with some help, he dresses awesome, and is actually REALLY into it as well lol.

I have no fashion sense at all.
As long as I am comfortable, my clothes are clean, have shaved, put on deodorant/aftershave, and i have my two showers a day, who gives a damn if I am not "in fashion" or not to anyone's liking. Damn, this is me!
I change clothes three times a day. Once, after a shower to go to work, - after lunch at work, and then once I have had my evening shower after work.
I have a number of suits. They make me feel very uncomfortable because I feel like I am in a monkey's jumpsuit to satisfy the masses of idiots that consider this "smart" and fashionable.
A good pair of trousers, well pressed shirt (long or short sleeved), decent clean shoes, socks and a ready smiling disposition is all you need - smart casual-, And be comfortable (with yourself)

Yes, I could date someone with terrible sense if they had other positive attributes that would attract me to them to begin with. I am not fashion motivated myself and dress according to my environment. There are a few fashion choices that would probably driver me crazy tho.

Ugh. Women should just wear 3" heels at all times.
This morning, in the rain, I had to wade thru 3+ inches of muck (mud+horse poop) to retrieve a feeder. Those 3" heels would not have survived!

Perhaps he thinks women have Barbie doll feet that are only made for high heels? Ugh.

It's the same with skinny jeans for girls. Ladies with hips don't fare so well with the jeans that strangle their ankles (and I'm one of them).

Seriously though, try on a three-piece suit just once and make sure women see you wearing it. I don't know what it is about that simple little vest/waistcoat, but it takes the suit up a few notches of sexy. Of course, this is assuming the suit is well-tailored to fit the man's body. Nothing looks worse than an ill-fitting suit.

Ahhh good ol Skinny Jeans, no better way of making your body look like that of a boy..

Yeah. . . I'm not liking the vest. I would never pick that out for a guy.

Can I virtually dress you? Please!

That's exactly why I do not let women dress me. They dress me up like some Cabbage Patch doll.

Maybe you could print out a picture, and do it like those old cut out figures you used to get, with the little tabs on the clothes to hold them on !

I remember my sister had them, she used to spend hours with those things !!

I remember those too! Paper dolls! I had American Girl ones. Ah, great childhood. I miss it sometimes! I didn't have a care in the world.
