Do you guys still try to look good?

[Zuberi TauParticipant 10606]

Now I’m a big guy(6ft4in) 281lbs, and looking good comes second nature to me.
I go to the gym 3 days a week, study boxing, wrestling and karate.
I keep my hair in a flat top and a goatee. It really gets under the trollops skin when I go to a public place and ignore them, especially the trollops at my gym.

Mr Spock, I do resonate pretty well with your comment. Even I do like wearing army pants ( it is loose with plenty of pockets ) and a T shirt,but when I go out to meet people I like to groom myself and wear something different depend on the occasion. People treat you differently,you can make deals etc. much better. Do they find me more attractive? I could not care less,but this is a way society works,if you dress for the occasion, often things are smoother.And I do admit I often do like the feeling of well groomed and better dressed when I go out.But I do it for my self not because I want to impress women,and I don’t care if people like a way I dress or I look. I am clean and neatly dressed for the occasion that is good enough for me. But at home I am very relaxed just wear some short and a singlet (enough here in Queensland) and often not shaving or trimming my goatee for days.

Not just try. I want to look good; and its all intrinsic. Looking good makes me fee good about myself, and chicks looking my way is NOT an added bonus!

Although I haven’t started gym yet, s~~~’s too expensive in this country…. but I’ve been growing a belly latey and I need to cut it down; so wil probably go after I start making some dough.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

I look better MUCH better than the average 30 yo female! And I weigh much less too. These f~~~ing women look like s~~~! Like a medicine ball that had the unfortunate accident of being ran over by a ten mile freight train!

Wait right here, I’ll go get an honest picture of the girls I painfully see, “The Massachusetts Blubbugly Bitch”.

The pretty girls are just as ugly and fat on the inside.
I made a logical decision and walked away…

So now ya see why I an’t going anywhere.

I noticed (and maybe it’s just me) even if you don’t *TRY*, if you’re a man over 40 and you’re not a blob, women will notice and do a double take. It doesn’t even require that much effort.

I am now in my mid-late 30s. I eat well, am muscular but not ripped. I keep in shape for me – I try to exercise my mind, as well as my body and spirit. I have always been khakis and a t-shirt kind of guy. My wardrobe costs me less than $200/year on average. I use items until they wear out. I shower at least once a day and am well groomed.

I know what you mean Keymaster. It’s uncanny. In my 20’s getting a date was near impossible. Now I have hot 20 year old’s actively flirting with me – I don’t drive a flashy car and keep a low profile. Problem is, I am just not interested right now. I think women can sense when you just don’t give a s~~~ and it sends the hamster spinning. The less you try, the more you get.

But I recognize now that playing with a 20 something is live tap-dancing on a landmine. It’s not a matter of if it does off, but when. I am getting too old for kids (assuming I wanted to take the risk; which I don’t) – I think it’s time to get deactivated.

I was actually going to add (when he mentioned teeth) that YES, I go to the dentist 5 times a year for a cleaning – instead of 2 or 3. I have nice teeth and take care of them. There is something about a dental cleaning I absolutely love. I instruct my dentist to reach into my gums and pull out my SHOES. I actually MOAN when Im in the chair and he thinks it’s because I don’t like it. But I love it.

ME TOO!..

i LOVE that blade going in there.. He gets to talking while I am paying attention to me quadrants. Sum bitch missed a whole side.. I said whoa there big pard..You missed a section.. I ain’t gettin cheated.

I had braces for 3 years in my early 20’s so my teeth are super nice and I take care of them using the waterpik/electric brush combo along with crest ultra white mouthwash. I work out at least 3 days a week because of hectic work schedule and of a muscular built. I do a detailed haircut every week but touch-up shaves every other day. Wardrobe is mild(jeans and nice shirt) but I focus more on the accessories like top shelf expensive cologne,well groomed,nice shoes,mild jewelry bracelet and chain set,and a free nice smile to go with it. Women will never guess my MGTOW status because they always see me as “husband” material,nice looking,clean cut,and a lot of wit. Man oh man are they shocked when the redpills flow and they realize I never want to get married nor do I want a girlfriend and look at women as a waste and pity is the most emotion they will get from me. March on brothers!! So much for the “basement boys” they say that we are,man will they be p~~~ed if they read these post. Ssssshhh

Never lose sight of what brought you here.

Ofc i do, for 3 reasons:

1 Unfortunately i still like being, ehrm, “Phisically validated”. Gotta work on that

2 When they try to hit on me i ignore them and when they try to approach me and ask me out… BANG, NO! And i send them away. I love humiliating them like that. I’m sure they did the same to tons of guys so it’s a good punishment

3 “Fleeing when you know you’re gonna lose will destroy you, fleeing when you’re absolutely sure you’re gonna win just makes you stronger”

Getting attention is always nice. I haven’t weened myself off that that yet. I recently dropped a ton of weight but it was mainly due to wanting to be as independent as possible. I’ve recently moved from super morbid obesity to “just” overweight and I plan to go even further. The last thing I want is to be dependent.

As for everything else, I work a blue collar job in a small company with a very very lax stance on clothes so I haven’t been bothered to change out of my old clothes that I wore when I was obese. Oversized and ripped to hell but I’m not about to drop cash on new clothes that will just get dirty as hell.

Pre MGTOW days, you can be sure as heck I’d be pumping that much cash into being able to preen. Living in asia, clothes my size are still hard to get and therefore expensive.

Some people might say keeping up appearances are important for self respect but I haven’t found enough “practical” justification.

I’m losing weight. So far I’ve lost 50 lbs. Just trying to get healthy, the weight loss allowed me to get off medications for diabetes and blood pressure. I am going to drive my weight down to get the lowest body fat percentage (scrawny) and still be healthy in order to give myself the largest safety margin that I can. Then I am going to build muscle and be very careful about my caloric intake and what I eat.

I have a beard. I like it very much and don’t plan on shaving. But I do want to get healthy, and be able to do physically strenuous activities…and looking nice in a suit would be cool. People have a tendency to treat well dressed people better. And looking good has a positive effect on a person’s self image and their self esteem, and doing this helps prevent depression.
