    I’m hoping whoever I one day end up with, actually likes my personality not my things or style. To that end, I also now drive an old beater.

    But the clothes are more about efficiency, yes. I have 20 pairs of the same socks too so I don’t have to look for pairs.

      Style is a display and telegraphing of your personality.¹

      Also, unless you’re ace, you probably want her to think you’re hot. You know how you like when a lady knows how to clothes good and dresses up and looks really fucking hot?

      She wants something roughly equivalent, but has given up and dismissed it as fantasy.

      If you wear something very fancy, it doesn’t just say ‘I am fancy’ it says ‘this is what I think is fancy, and I’m confident enough to wear it around and take the risk’.

      Like, you wouldn’t expect the same behavior and relationship from punk leather jacket guy, lumberjack, bard, thinks-hes-a-wizard, business-devil, and the guy wearing a silk button down hentai print shirt with a first-Doctor-scarf aviator goggles mirror shined shoes but fully donald-ducking it. Would you?
