Confidence vs Arrogance?

I’m at the office and I just went downstairs to get some breakfast. I noticed this guy, who was in pretty good shape wearing one of those shirts that look like it was practically painted on. I thought to myself… “Does this guy actually think that that looks good???”. I can understand if you put a lot of time into your body by working out and wanting to show it. Yeah, yeah wear/do whatever makes you happy, but really… I think stuff like that just makes you look worse if anything. IMO, If you want to show it…wear a fitted (but not TIGHT) shirt. If you have the body, it’ll still show. Thus, getting across the same point without coming off as a blow-hard and showing more of a quiet confidence. I’m by far no expert on the game of attraction but I do know that a landslide majority of people admire confidence, but nobody likes arrogance.

What do y’all think?

Your story reminds me of canned tamales. They have that 'skin' wrapped on them.
I don't find the tamales' skin attractive, therefore, I'll have to go with "No skin-tight, please!" :D
Really, who wants to look like they are wearing a body-sized condom??

Is STUPIDITY an option?

fitted shirts are classier anyway...a sign of true distinction. you know what inspires confidence in me...wearing expensive suits, thin fat tall short you can't look bad in one hehe

i have a few freinds who came here from various european countries. They all seem to wear really tight shirts and pants. We tell them not to, but they dont listen, they pick up a lot of girls from europe. its weird.

that really tight fit is in right now, i have 1 friend that spends thousands of dollars a week on clothes that would be tight on a 5 year old girl...i don't know, i think the fashion is coming from Europe because all his clothes are name brand like Armani or Versace...i personally don't like it but i've seen worse...

i think the baggy pants hanging down to your knees is worse
i think wearing pants and/or shirts backwards is worse
i think leaving price tags on hats or shoes is worse
flip-flops - i hate them
clogs - hate them more
the comb sticking out of the 'fro - wtf?
hat tilted crooked - not my style
trucker hats only look good on girls with tight sporty shirts on

I like it when good-looking women wear tight clothes (even if it's a bit slutty-looking), but when guys do it, it bugs the shyte out of me, same with Speedos. It's a classic double-standard, I guess. A gay friend of mine never hesitates to point out the hypocrisy; he says if you've got it, flaunt it. I dunno. I just think it makes a guy look conceited and fussy.

If you changed "guy" to "girl" in your story I bet you wouldn't be thinking the girl was arrogant. Instead you would have been pushing up on here.

Hey man, somethings work better for girls than for guys...and vice versa.

Which brings me to another point.... Why do girls wear all this revealing and uggestive clothing and then turn around and get pissed when they catch us guys staring and gawking?...you're ******* are hanging out, what do you expect?

On the other hand, I've seen body-paint put to good use :p (hope you're feeling better, btw!)



For a far bigger crime there's my fat *** in lycra "bib" bicycle shorts. At least I can claim it's functional.

He doesn't like the term "Metro" huh? Remind him that there is ALWAYS the original Alternative.... because from what I remember before this "metro-sexual" term was coined, straight or not, people just called them "GAY" :D

Who am I to judge another guy if he wants to dress like he's gay?

While he's busy attracting other guys ...

This is a pretty funny topic! Here is my take on it! I have a friend who basically body builds and has basically been doing it since he was a teen (dieting and all that goes along with actually body building). When we hit the club he wears fitted shirts (the tight ones that people are talking about here) and without failing he gets attention from lots and I do mean lots of women! He is the only individual who I know who "routinely" gets groped by females in the club! His sexuality, heterosexual! He doesn't even approach the women but can and has left the club with different women many times. Some of you guys might need to watch your wives, married women approach him too! So women with nice physiques look good to men when they wear tight outfits and it works the other way around too!
