I always made an effort to look great, I fucking love my wardrobe. It's just awesome. Anyways, one day I went out with sweatpants, three women approached me and everything went smooth with some other women I talked to, normally I rarely get approached, only stares, elevator eyes and women positioning themselves near me. I think it is obvious that looking like being in the same league increases approach ability.
I already had a discussion about it and someone pointed out that if I am comfortable and confident in shitty clothes and don't get a mood boost from over the top style then this is nothing special.
Another theory http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/the-mathematics-of-beauty/ let's say something similar to this also applies to men. Most women already are approach shy, so looking bad opens the doors, but where does the incentive to approach an ugly guy come from? Is it the he is all mine effect?
Maybe potential is more important than how you look.
Maybe it is a kind of peacocking.
Maybe I am just overthinking this.
Thoughts?
