Spring is in the air, and someone presenting themselves as interested in fucking rationalist males has authored a piece about how said men can dress a bit better and maybe, just maybe, get laid: lesswrong.com/…/basic-principles-for-dressing-bet… as usual, the real comedy is in the comments I dress like a schlub specifically to avoid advertising my sexual availability - lesswrong.com/…/basic-principles-for-dressing-bet… “The item that I currently wear that expresses the most about me is my Oura ring followed by barefoot shoes.” - strangely not the same as the commenter above "When it comes to slim fit jeans I have the impression that fashion changed. Five years ago they were seen as great and now they don’t? Is that accurate?“ “Overall, I think it makes the most sense to go to the pareto frontier here. You can spend 300-400 total getting some nice looking earth tone button-ups, well-fitting pants that aren’t blue jeans, trim your beard, get regular haircuts from an actual salon, shower daily, and make sure you smell decent.” ”[…] when I look at the examples, what occurs to me is that dressing like the example would cause me to stick out and make it obvious to others I am making a special effort, and I’d rather not do that." “I was hoping for more fashion theory; the why. “ “It is fascinating to receive such communiqués of strange news from another star. I would not know, without your saying so, that the set of 10 pictures are intended to be good examples and not bad examples.” ”[…] it is far more important that whatever my spouse wears be a pleasant texture to put my face on, most buttondown material fails this criterion but linen passes” - actually this is just cute
