Ladies,

What is your reaction to a man wearing "desert boots" most of the time (when he isn't wearing logger boots)?. They are a very comfortable, casual shoe, somewhat like an ankle height moccasin with laces and substantial sole, often tan suede.

If you're looking for a piece of arm-candy who's only real interest is your money or status-- then definitely drive the hottest car you can afford and wear an Armani suit!
Personally, I'd be more interested in a guy who looks nice in a pair of jeans, regardless of what he drives. (As long as it isn't a cattle truck that smells like it!)

Dessert Boots- fine for casual, but hopefully the man has a dressier pair of shoes for 'special occasions'.

Yes. The guy does not have to be into labels, but I prefer a clean cut guy. Fresh outa the shower, cologne, clean clothes, no wrinkles, clean shoes. To me it is all about presentation. If he does not bother to clean up for a first date, then he won't get a second date from me. After all the first date is the best he has to offer.
Like I said I am not concerned about labels, but he has to make good impression. I tend to be kinda conservative in my dress, so I usually like it if the guy is a little conservative. After I get to know him, I don't mind more casual style of dress, but it still has to be clean. I don't care if I was with the guy for 100 years, if he starts getting stinky and dirty (without good cause, like workin in the yard all day,) i would kick him to the door. One of those MHCS for me is good hygiene...the guy has to brush, shower and put deoderant on...always..enough said.
So I guess for me it's all about a clean guy.

It depends where you live. In NYC and L.I. you would never get a comment like that Shads. Of course if you are out here in San Antonio where everyone is a tourist then a nice shirt and jeans is the norm or else you're labeled pretentious. Personally I cannot get rid of the east coast girl in me and putting the effort to throw on something dressy casual is always appreciated. So my advice is....when in Rome...

BTW...I guess it's the Latina in me but cannot resist a good cologne/perfume oils. Moderation is the key though since you don't want to have to bring out the smelling salts to revive her I also agree with the bad breath comment...but since that could be many causes I would suggest finding out why. It could mean you need some dental work done, that you have a gastrointestinal issue that maybe breathe assure and a diet change can fix or that the person needs to remember to brush their tongue! Personally I like natural alternatives and chew fennel seeds which I wash down with some water.

BTW....sorry to get off topic but I have allergies and use scented oils instead and was sold one that is the same as J'adore. Does it make any difference to a man? Or are you all just completely visual? And yes, I have a brother and he is completely useless on anything that doesn't require him using a tool...lol.

I have to admit, I prefer a well dressed man any day. It is refreshing to see a man who dresses appropriate to his build. It just so sexy.

Yes...I look at "how" not "what" he dresses/wears.

Ties important? No, about 96.34% of the time. Rather obsolete. Shoes? Comfortable can also be attractive. Cloth with holes, athletics with a suit, no. The boots, J. David, work fine most of the time even with some suit occasions. (I never wear stick heels, or heels of any real height anymore, so foot comfort for you is fair and reasonable.) Shirts? Stained, frayed, needing mending...clean, mend, toss, as the case may require. Don't wear a shirt unsuitable for cleaning paint brushes! Color coordination? OK, this is often a problem for guys. Ask a sales clerk--female, of course, and if you can find one--if the colors go together. You may want to pick two or three colors to go with the basics. (Basics = dark blue, gray, black and brown, tan. These are color groups, and one usually works better with your personal coloring. Safe coordinates to go with these basics are white, ivory, light blue; sometimes pink or light yellow.)

Do you watch TV? Observe what guys wear under different circumstances. Pick out five or six programs you don't watch because you don't relate to them, and see what the guys are wearing. Are you surprised? Why? Watch a few more of these programs. Easy education, costs you nothing, and no one is pressuring you to buy what the store wants to get rid of.

Physical looks are not that important, as hair falls out, gravity causes sags, weight control is challenging as most people age, certain body types are never fashionable. Appearance, especially the first impression, is; otherwise, why are you reading all these comments? I have not rejected men on their basic physical makeup, but inappropriate dress can be fatal. Men do not have to spend as much time on their hair, do not wear makeup, or have as many different dressing options (pants, as opposed to dress, skirt, pants--on and on), worry about shoes (900 colors, 800 heel heights, open/closed--also on and on), and many more factors. As I have commented before, if you show up looking like you stopped by on the way home from a two week camping trip...Let's just say I'm NOT going to suggest I will only manage to control myself until we are in the back seat of my/your car! If you obviously have made an effort, I am interested in you. If you don't care if you impress me, then why should I be impressed with you?

$$$$ spent on clothes don't impress me. What you have done to appear good to me does. If all else fails, there are magazines at your local supermarket.
