Men's style mistakes– mens fashion & grooming

Doing a random survey of sorts of all the men's style mistakes that
turn you off to a guy.
What do you consider bad grooming, a fashion faux pas, or a total loser
when it comes to men's style? Would you rather date a metrosexual or a
slob? What can you fix and how? What style no–no would make you never
date a guy again? What do you thinks about male makeovers? Would your
mate let you make him over?
Please tell me a little about yourself– age, city and state that you
live, occupation, lifestyle, marital status, male or female,
preferences, etc.
Responses may be published anonymously.

I'm a straight male but guys who don't shave the back of their necks make me
sick.

This kind of post strikes me as fishing for info for an article or else
trying to conduct unpaid market research/focus groups. Many attempts
are made to use this group for such purposes and usually there's a
negative response, especially since you are not a known member of this
group.

Thanks, Jim for an honest response.

When it comes to men's style, ultimately a man shouldn't really give a shit,
aside from avoiding being unhealthy.
Any category is the figment of a salesman's imagination..
A man should do enough to get by in his profession by day and at night he
should wear enough so as to be practical.
I watch TV.
You're too kind.

ok, well a big one is pleated cotton slacks (dockers).
white tube socks with any non–athletic/hiking shoe is another heavy
syndrome.
oversize sweatpants with giant side pockets (stuffed w/shit).
huge, boxy black leather car–coats or long black leather overcoats...
pointy tassle loafers or black, pointy, men's formal pumps (pig's
shoes!)
in doubt, dress like a cholo from oxnard.
loose flat–front khakis, big black work shoes, timberlands or white
k–swiss;
white t–shirt and ben davis workshirt on top.
plain nylon windbreaker.
crew cut or hair slicked straight back...
you can't go wrong with that look!

Guys, talk about getting off–topic. Guess, men's style mistakes have
everything to do with the size of your "cockpit".

What do you think about guys who use a lot of hair gel? You know, when
their hair looks kinda like plastic and crackily...

Not really. Although it's a bit over 50 degrees today, we got 8" of snow
from a storm less than a week ago (the most we got this season). However, I
bought a snow blower two days before the storm so I've got that covered now.
Hardly. I haven't had much time to spend working on it due to a variety of
reasons. However, I've pretty much got all of the broken cedar strips
replaced on the hull and have a bit of sanding to do before I lay on some
fiberglass/resin. The deck is going to be a bit tricker to rebuild as most
of the cockpit was completely crushed by the tree that fell on it and I want
to take the opportunity to reduce the size of the cockpit while I'm
rebuilding it. The size of my cockpit has nothing to do with an allegdged
use of steriods.

I didn't realize there'd be a market for such a device. I couldn't help but
wonder after closing the site if there might be a market for a similar
device for women, for grooming another part of the anatomy some feel
requires special grooming. I'm not sure what it would look like (perhaps
shaped like a coke can) but it could probably be called ClitCropper(tm).

There already is a product for such areas that doesn't actually shave
but instead pulls the hair out. I have been told that the first time it
is used the pain is quite bad, but is much more tolerable on subsequent use.

Incidentally, the results are very nice.

My husband often does this. I specifically bought him Zirh a couple of
times (got the idea from Queer Eye) so that it would give him the hold
he wants without the "crunchy" hair. Sometimes I say "Are you trying to
look like Gordon Gekko?" and no matter how much I tell him I prefer his
hair uncrispy and ungelled, he insists he needs gel.
And just as I used to try to buy my dad nice toiletries and he still
preferred his Aquavelva, DH prefers his Suave styling gel. I guess I
should just be grateful that at the age of 43 he still has a full head
of hair.
He does wear pleated Dockers though. He often says "khakis are the
universal pant...they never go out of style." Yeah, but pleats do. He's
a husky guy, could probably lose 15–20 pounds, and the pleats just make
him look thicker around the middle.
Stuff that may have turned me off as a single woman I've gotten used
to. Like primates, I sometimes have to "groom" him – take the nose
clippers to the errant hair he can't see coming out of his nostril, or
the hairs sprouting from his earlobes.

Grooming sounds like dogs.

I saw a combover worse than Trump's just a coupla days ago. It was
completely helmet–headed down to roundabouts a half–inch above the
guy's eyebrows and bad enough for me to personally feel some level of
embarassment just lookin' at the guy.
I can't even imagine what level of insecurity (..and vanity..?)
would inspire something that awful.
Since when? Damn, I mean, I know I only read news sporadically
anymore, but ya'd think I'dve caught a goundbreaker like that.
Roughly about the same difference between a trumpet and matty back
hair.

This would be my pick but if were from the same company as the headblace,
BushBlade would be the logical choice.
The pulling of hair with teeth is what I would consider an acceptable risk.
It's not like I'm recommending legislation the mandatory placement of a
prominentely displayed warning label:
CAUTION: Cunnilingus may not be for everyone. Known side effects include
hairy teeth, loud moaning, verbal references to deities, and wet spots.

Great Comment, Archer1. He sounds stuck on his ways for 43. Good luck!

Why didn't you just put him in a headlock and get the scissors out?
I declare I wouldn't know.
Congratulations, and Dan welcomes you to the club.
Dan's repeatedly failed to challenge the claims that he's suffering from
male pattern baldness and has a monk toup. Hell, even Chaney
occasionally claims that he wasn't politely asked to leave trade school
for failure to maintain a "C" average in Schwinn maintenance. I'm forced
to conclude by Dan's apparent unwillingness to falsify the monk toup
hypothesis that the hypothesis is indeed valid.
Still, I can see how male pattern baldness could work for a bicyclist
like Dan. Suppose he grew out what remains of the hair on the side of
his head and gelled it so that it looked like Hermes' wings? A bicyclist
dressed in black lycra with Hermes' wings on the side of his head might
fetch babes, or at least side work delivering flowers.
what's the difference between a saxophone and a bad combover?
I'm sorry, that's incorrect. Whenever I see a bad combover, my mind
tells me I'm listening to the nearly tonal sounds of your favorite
saxophonist and presumptive hair club for men client whose jeri curl
just can't quite turn him into Charlie Parker.
Matty back hair, on the other hand, just reminds me of Bobbi.

Are you saying bald guys aren't as attractive?
Maybe the hair gel is an attempt to make his head look
thicker and bring balance to the force.
When you were a young girl, did you fantasize about
someday having exactly the life you have now?
The nose secretes its own form of hair gel.
