I get it. But your previous post seemed like you couldn't understand a guy (or girl) wanting to put any effort into how they dress. I was simply pointing out the rationale for doing so.

Women like a well-dressed man. I think that's enough of a rationale for me.

The thing is you will always be an idiot, but an idiot in a suit. Smart women can spot poser like you easily, just saying.

That's quite the assumption, Theo. Are you implying that people who don't exercise and care about fashion are slobs with no confidence?

I don't exercise and I don't care what I'm wearing, but my confidence in fine. I don't have to wear a suit to feel confident. I know I'm awesome. Smiley: waycool

That's fine. But basically it's the difference between a kid banging on a pan with a wooden spoon and a full orchestra playing Mozart, or Bach, or Vivaldi. Maybe not that drastic of a difference, but yeah.

Never said you had to wear a suit to feel confident in who you are. Confidence, though, comes from two things: 1) knowing you're attractive, or 2) knowing you have other things to bring to the table.

I prefer to have both. Some people don't care, and I don't fault them, as I've said before. My dad still wears pleated khakis and brown loafers with a navy canvas belt and a black watch band. I would never wear that, but that's what he feels comfortable wearing, so more power to him.

Self-confidence comes from believing yourself to be right. The reason dressing well makes you confident in yourself is because you believe you look attractive in fine clothes, and the attention you're getting is providing the confirmation you need to keep believing it.

Fact of the matter is, you could wear @#%^ all and you'd still get attention from ladies. As long as you believe that you're right in what you do and say, you'll have confidence in yourself. Just make sure it's always merited, otherwise confidence turns to arrogance. Smiley: tongue

What I'm saying is that you're right. Believing you're attractive makes you confident. Getting positive attention enhances that confidence. Doesn't matter what you wear, or how you look, though.

Edit: For the record, I think you're attractive. For a man. No homo, etc. You've got good genes.

A poser is a kid like you who dress fancy like a man but work as a clerk in an Apple store at minimum wages, don't even have a car and drink Zinfandel. The lady dump you after discovering the fraud that you are and the little "pipi", then you are back at Zam and Warcraft. Welcome back.

I pick idiot and poser

Really Raw, you're fishing for dickpicks a little too obviously. I don't know why you're so focused on Theo's penis but I'm sure that just googling "penis" or "sexy penis" is going to get you results much quicker than obsessing over Theo's penis in this thread will.

Dunno, but it's probably the same people that think having a car automatically equals absolute freedom.

Depends where you are and your personal view on it. Mine is that if you have a car in a large metropolitan city, then it's an additional option for mode of travel (personal vehicle, public transit, and most things in close proximity so you have walking as well), and more options equals more freedom. However, if you're in a small rural area where it's your one and only option then you're kind of chained to it for more or less everything you need to do, therefore less freedom. First one if your car breaks down, you're really not hampered if you need to get somewhere, whereas the second you're kind of screwed.

I kind of figure if you have to have something in order to do day-to-day things, then you're a slave to that something and you've lost a degree of freedom.

On the other hand, if you don't have a car and you live in a metropolitan area, you can still get everywhere you need to go without trouble so not much freedom is gained by owning a car, if you live in a small rural town and you don't have a car you're @#%^ed and can't go anywhere without wasting hours so owning a car gets you a lot of freedom.

Yeah, I'm with Aeth on that one. I have several friends who don't have their license or a car, and they have to walk everywhere or go nowhere. Or rely on rides from others. Of course, there's nothing wrong with walking everywhere, but it definitely takes more time. Living in a rural community that has limited public transportation sucks, if you don't have a car. In Eugene, I have tons of friends without cars, and they're perfectly content with that.

Even living in a city, you can be pretty much screwed if you want to go somewhere other than downtown, especially at non-peak hours. It'll take me 2x as long to get home if I leave in the middle of the day.

Basically, a car in and of itself doesn't offer you freedom, it's having a practical and cost efficient mode of transportation that offers you freedom and in rural areas, that mode of transportation is per definition a car.

But you have more options is my point. I'm talking about pretty much not being able to go home or out at all should you not have a car. It might take longer, but you haven't lost the option, which to me is a higher degree of freedom. If my car* breaks down, we don't have to scramble to make arrangements to get anywhere. Like I said, personal view. Some people measure freedom based on how much convenience they gain by having it. I measure by how inconvenienced I'd be from losing it.

Yeah I could see that. I like living someplace where everything I need is within walking distance. That's probably the best part about where we live now. Really kind of helps with stuff. Work commute still sucks though. I can't drive to work because there's not enough parking, and it's too far to walk. Plus the wife doesn't approve of me taking the bike since we had the little ones... Smiley: lol

I don't know, I don't use bicycles. I'm a wanderer. I'd rather walk for an hour than ride a bike for ten minutes.

My fellow countrymen are a bit different, though. They're riders.

Actually it really depends on the individual town. Eugene is great for bicyclists. So much so, that a good number of our cyclists are @#%^s who nearly run over people who are walking... Or they ride their bike down the middle of the street, knowing full well there are cars behind them, and don't move over so we can get around. There are bike lanes in a lot of areas in Eugene. In fact, there's even bike lanes on the highway in Brookings. We so rarely get bicyclists here though, that people use the bike lanes as turning lanes. Smiley: facepalm And sadly, I've never seen anyone get a ticket for that. I pointed out to my mom that it was illegal, but she just kind of shrugged and said there wasn't a bicyclist anywhere around, so it should be fine.

I just kind of think having a car is like a piano, but with extra taxes - impossible to ship across borders/oceans/whathaveyou, and I need to have space to store it somewhere.

That being said, when I did live in rural areas, it wasn't very useful to have one. In the US, any place that was sort of cool was still 150 miles away and in the UK taking the car to go into the city was about as expensive as taking a taxi (and a lot more trouble) due to the congestion charge - and taxis in the UK are expensive.

So I just prefer to be in areas with either public transport of some sort (that I find acceptable) or taxis I can actually afford. Or both. Dubai is awesome...

I also prefer to be able to walk 5 miles somewhere if I feel like it. That's the problem with this place... Smiley: mad

I walk to a lot of places. Ride my bike to many more. Bus everyday to and from work.

I only take cars on the weekend when friends drive.

Confidence, though, comes from two things: 1) knowing you're attractive, or 2) knowing you have other things to bring to the table.


Self-confidence comes from believing yourself to be right. The reason dressing well makes you confident in yourself is because you believe you look attractive in fine clothes, and the attention you're getting is providing the confirmation you need to keep believing it.

Fact of the matter is, you could wear @#%^ all and you'd still get attention from ladies. As long as you believe that you're right in what you do and say, you'll have confidence in yourself. Just make sure it's always merited, otherwise confidence turns to arrogance. Smiley: tongue

What I'm saying is that you're right. Believing you're attractive makes you confident. Getting positive attention enhances that confidence. Doesn't matter what you wear, or how you look, though.

Edit: For the record, I think you're attractive. For a man. No homo, etc. You've got good genes.

I guess that's a better way to put it. And yes, I know I have good jeans, I bought them at Nordstrom. Smiley: grin Smiley: nod

EDIT: On the topic of cars and freedom, I don't associate my car with freedom since work provides compensation for public transportation, but I still prefer having a car. Like was said, since I live in a metropolitan environment, it gives me much more freedom to go and do what I want (though if I were in Chicago still, I would never use my car unless I was in the suburbs, trains rock).

I had a car a few years ago out here, a roommate left it behind. I still mostly walked and took the bus but it was nice to drive into town when I know having said car would be handy after school. That ended up being 3-4 times a month.

Yeah, I think if I did have a car in a car-friendly place, I would probably not want to drive much, anyway.

I don't have a car and right now I'm living in a smaller town than Espoo, where I have lived most of my life (that's the second largest city in Finland) and sometimes I wish I had a car.
But now that I'm moving back to Espoo in a couple of months, then it doesn't even matter, I can get everywhere quite fast with public transportation.

When you have a family and lots of activities, a car is a must. From groceries shopping for 6 to week-end at the beach.

I guess so, but it'll be a looong time before I will have a family of my own.

Not since they invented birth control, grandpa.

Now you can jinx it and get away with it. Smiley: nod
