Dressing for Stealth

That is what always has cracked me up about women. I knew one dude who got a lot of female attention because he drove a BMW M4. They all thought he was loaded, but the dude really couldn’t afford it and was hurting for money bad. He was so desperate to keep the facade up that he eventually got to a point where he could either pay the mortgage on his condo or his car payment…and needless to say he got the condo foreclosed on haha. A short while later he lost the car anyhow.

Meanwhile, you can have hundreds of thousands, or even a million+ kicking around in the stock market but wear average clothes and drive an average car and gold diggers will be clueless. If your a lawyer or a doctor or something people automatically assume make a ton it might be a bit tougher, but I know for my job if I tell people my job title their typical reply is “What’s that?” so they are obviously clueless as to what my salary is, which is pretty awesome. Even if they take to google to try to figure it out they’ll end up severely underestimating what I make in a year because I do shift work and work lots of overtime and get a yearly bonus, so between bonus, OT, shift differentials, extra pay for holidays, and stock market gains I’ll be more than double my base salary this year.

beat up old trainers and baggy hoodies usually do me.

Hello,
a few of you mentioned jeans and t-shirt and sneakers / light running shoes, I can confirm on that.

For very warm weather, I replace T-shirt with sport-shirt (the one that dries quickly if one sweats) and jeans with something lighter and shorter.

Just look average. Look what all the men out there wear, and I guess it will be t-shirt and jeans and sneakers/ sport-shoes or similar.

I also prefer blank, cheap and non-branded shirts. Who wants his chest to be an advertisement area for those brands, anyway? It is not that better, if it is, at all.

Do not wear “elegant” category of clothes if you don’t have to. Dress comfortably. Change clothes in the toilet if you have to be good looking at work. (riding bike to work requires that most of the time anyway)

About vehicles: My city-bike just looks average, spray-painted and good reliable parts but nothing fancy. And I don’t ride my expensive and exotic DH-bike in the city, it is not for that, and may get stolen and would get unwanted looks. I ride that outside the city, where there are more rabbits than humans. For the car-guys, I guess an average looking car with good inside and good parts under the hood is the way to go. A bad ass race-car style with big spoiler and stripes / vinyls will get a lot of looks, for stealth you probably don’t want that.

Also, don’t use MGTOW-related bumper stickers and stuff like that on anything that you go to work with. HR girls may see it. (that’s why I don’t ride my DH bike to work even if I could lock it safely, it has MGTOW logos on the mud guards and the frame and grabs attention, 5x more expensive than other bikes there.)

About stuff you use: a brand-new phone, laptop, whatever may get attention. Buy something good that lasts long. Factory-reset or a reinstall can make the old ones faster, no need to buy new for years.

Watches: yes everyone has a smart phone, and that can auto-synchronize to network time or GPS clock signal, while other clocks DO drift away randomly by a few minutes in a month, and that will make you problems like being late. And, under the watch, your skin will sweat and become red and it is very uncomfortable, at least for me it is like that.

About workplace desk: there is a “clean desktop rule” in the place where I work, that computers must be locked when you are not there (i.e. gone to the toilet or a coffee), and paper stuff put back into where it belongs. And I suggest to apply this onto your private stuff too. Workplace desk is not the place to put anything personal (photos and stuff) onto. Also, you may give yourself away by leaving post-it stickers and similar things there. (Use a logbook. We are -in work stuff- forbidden to use pieces of papers because those are likely to get lost. Use the same rule for private stuff in a private logbook, put away into the backpack when not in use.)

Behaving for stealth: that’s important. If you want to look at a hot girl while -for example- biking on the street, wear sunglasses and look from far away (10-20 meters at least) and not more than half a second, and do not turn your head to her. You are in the traffic, you need to look around all the time, and you have plausible deniability for a second – but only if you have sunglasses, so that no one sees what exactly you are looking at. Don’t want unnecessary eye contact with anyone.

yes, and this type of people are the “alpha males”, with whom the girls ride the c~~~ carousel. Looking alpha, yet half-bankrupt and deeply in debt, but have a good-looking facade. It is plain superficial.

They don’t even look at those who live within their financial limits, and are good guys.

I wear: t-shirt or untucked polo and carpenter pants. If it’s particularly cold out, I’ll put on an unbuttoned flannel or denim shirt over top (cold has never bothered me much, so I rarely wear anything heavier; my dad used to call me “Yukon Boy”). A pair of quality (but well “broken in”) western-style workboots. Do not go cheap on footwear if you spend much time standing or climbing ladders. I like the carpenter pants because they look enough like khakis to fit into corporateland — but they are more durable and have extra pockets to hold a flashlight, spare batteries in a plastic carrier, USB stick drive, a pocketknife, etc., without being full-on cargo pants. My shirts come exclusively from thrift stores; I haven’t purchased a shirt brand-new in over a decade. Usually no logos on the shirts, but occasionally I find a polo with an amusing logo (e.g., “Nuclear Maintenance Department”).

I drive: either of two vehicles that I own outright. One is a car; the other, a truck. The car is over 20 years old and the truck is nearly 20. I do all maintenance and nearly all repairs myself, so the annual cost of ownership is very low (less than a couple months’ payment on a loan for a new car that you don’t actually “own”).

I get: zero attention from wimminz. Well, the big beard may be a contributing factor as well (I’ve been called “Grizzly Adams”, a “mountain man”, and “Duck Dynasty” recently).

Have seen this firsthand.

I mentioned this elsewhere but if you ever want to try hiding in plain sight in the least hidden way. Honestly, try a reflective vest…. it’s probably the cheapest active camo out there for avoiding wallet hunters. Incredible tech, makes you invisible to 1/2 of the population. And it’s safer for outdoor work.

Typically I’m with the jeans and workboot group.

Have to wear business casual for work, can still stay under radar with that, just don’t put a tie with it. A tie is like waving a flag in front of a bull.

Hope that someday I may lead others the path I have learned. As Virgil led Dante through Hell.

If you’re into urban exploration, I’ve heard that the reflective vest, in combination with a hardhat, a clipboard, and (if you can get one), a white Ford Ranger will about guarantee 0% interest from anybody at most locations.

Regarding clothes/physical attire:

There’s a thread on here about wearing a suit and women’s response to it.

I was wearing a suit every day for work and I go out for drinks every night. The reactions from girls/women is insane. I can’t recall every story/time a girl would be so complimentary because of the suit, but there are a couple of times that stuck out.

Two sexy girls sitting next to me at a bar. They were literally LEANING into me as I’m sitting there minding my own business. I became accustomed to this, because of the suit. At one point one of the girls literally barked out –

“I’m FREE Tuesday!” While looking directly at me. We hadn’t said a single word to one another, yet she says this.

They are so fu$King superficial, it’s nuts.

There was another time a gorgeous girl literally started acting all ‘tingly’ right when I sat next to her in a suit. She IMMEDIATELY took her sweater off (to show off her tit$ in a low cut top) and started playing with her hair. She began asking a female friend of mine the run-down on me. Literally a laundry list of psychological questions: is he married? has he ever been married? etc, etc, ad-infinitum.

I could go on and on. They are so fu$king pretentious and superficial.

Have I ever had this reaction without a suit? Ya, sure, but NOTHING like this. It’s insane and I’m not bragging. I’m stating it was the suit/attire and that’s what they cared about.

Yup. My ex-wife told me she loved guys with ties. Like to a fetish level. I would occasionally wear one, but it’s not really my style (which she resented about me, which makes me wonder wtf she married me for if she was just going to resent me).

One time when I had been at work all day (she’d been home sitting on her ass all day, no job) and I had to drive and pick her up at a bar because she was too drunk to drive home. She told me to “come in for a minute” and I ended up sitting with her friend while she flirted with two salesmen-type guys in suits sitting at the bar. I just sat back and let her dig her own grave. She thought she was winning some game, making me jealous, I don’t know what – but it just took me one step closer to divorcing her ass, and back to freedom and self-respect. I have no doubt she has one night stands with suit-wearing guys at bars on the regular.

Ancientwisdom,
if a woman called out “I’m free tuesday!” to me, I wouldn’t be able to resist saying in a voice the whole bar could hear “What do you charge the rest of the week!”
I used to have to dodge a lot.

Being a man is incredible good luck. Do not waste it on the unlucky.
