dude, I know.

Just the next time you wear a jacket, go to a florist and buy a single flower....less than $2 probably. Cut and pin, then ask your gf what she thinks

Dude goes through all that trouble to look good and wears fricking horrible shoes. I have 50 to 70 ties in my closest and can't stand wearing them hot bastards.

Well, i'll give you a little pro-tip about women.

They can be forward but most have to feel that they aren't being forward.

This is why guys take a puppy to the park and shite to hit on girls. It gives them a reason to talk.

Wear that flower and it gives them a reason to start conversation.....then the ball's in your court.

Because of old fricks. It's stupid. But most clothes are fricking stupid. It isn't about function or comfort. It's about what homo on the OT thinks about your shoes and shirt.

That is not a very good post because you're assuming that the two pictures you posted are the only two choices available.

I agree that that neckties and bow ties are becoming more obsolete as many companies, both publicly-traded or private, are more business-casual than anything. However, when client-facing, it is still appropriate to wear a necktie or bow tie.

I wear a neck tie or bow tie once or twice every couple months, but I like the idea of having an abundance to choose from in my wardrobe.

Wait, what gave you the impression that those were the choices I proposed? Whatever you wear, you should look put together. I would pick a guy in jeans and a polo over number 2.
