Maybe he’s an awesome, smart, kind, compassionate, person with a great sense of humor, and a passionate lover. Oh wait did you say his shirt was wrinkled ? Never mind what a looser.

Have fun with those real mean though better know a good plastic surgeon cause eventually your important assets will wrinkle someday. Oh and those guys who know the importance of appearances (even if you marry one and have have kids) aren’t going to keep you around if your boobs start to sag they will know they deserve better.

This is why I await the flood/asteroid/nuclear war with our name on it. As our society rewards, vanity, selfishness , herd mentality, and blind materialism, the stupid continues to spread throughout the gene pool.

YOU ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON IN A SUIT AS OUT OF IT.

In a suit you are sending subtle, subliminal messages that say, “I care. I have taken time before this job to prepare, I want to present myself as a professional, I want to look good, and I want to represent myself as a professional.”

This trickles down to others, who see you in a suit and pick up on these subconscious cues to be professional in a professional environment.

Can any of you seriously say that your first sentence to a CPA in a suit, will be the same as if your CPA were wearing a t-shirt and jeans? I doubt it – before anybody speaks, there has already been a communication that, “We’re here to do business, not talk about what happened on Flavor-of-Love last night.” Those initial cues shape the rest of your conversations and if you respect a person at the beginning of a conversation, there is likely to be respect flying all around during the conversation.

I mean, there’s this atitude going around that goes something like this: “I don’t want to bea conformist, so rather than wear what everyone else is wearing, you’re going to dress casually (ignoring the fact that when people dress casually they often look more similar than when they dress formally). But what benefits are there to doing that? Or rather, why would casual clothing be preferable to businessclothing or formal clothing?

I mean, honestly, what would you rather wear? Jeans? Do you know how dull and drab (not to mention coarse and uncomfortable) denim is? I mean, if you’re going to dress in a way that actually looks good then I suppose it doesn’t matter if you wear a suit or not, but if you don’t care how you look either way, then why not wear a suit?

And you bring up people needing a suit to feel confident. I think you might have it a bit backwards. People who are actually self-confident don’t need a suit to feel good about themselves. But at the same time, if you feel good about yourself, wouldn’t you want to look good too? The suit doesn’t make people appear the way they want to feel about themselves, rather, if worn well, it is an outward expression of a person’s confidence. That is, a suit is a way for people to appear on the outside the way you feel on the inside. And surely, when you feel that good on the inside, more often than not you’re not going to want to keep it to yourself. Then again, maybe you’re just modest, I don’t know.

Oh, and you say you would rather “be comfortable and not wear a suit.” What are you talking about? Since when are suits not comfortable?

But still, if you find your suit to be uncomfortable, there are two solutions:

1. Hire a tailor to adjust it for you.

2. Buy a suit that actually fits.

If you follow either of these, or possibly both, then there’s no reason that you should wear a suit and be uncomfortable. Really.
