I would second the opinion that like a woman, every man would do well to find his own unique look. While a 19 year old boy may look tantalizing with his ass hanging out of his pants ( while I find it ridiculous, I admit that I kind of enjoy it, particularly when they bend over at the bowling alley) or with painted on jeans and an emo haircut, a 40 year old may not. Listen to Lance. The world would be a better place for women if every straight man had a gay male friend advising him on fashion. I consistently find my gay male friends more attractive to look at than my straight ones. What bugs me about straight guys is that often (not always) they don't really seem to give their appearance much thought. I despise the polo shirt and dockers look which is probably worn to a guy's boring job, particularly when its in unflattering colors.
The kind of straight boy who catches my eye is the one who has spent enough time in front of a mirror to develop a sense of which colors, cuts and styles flatter him and express what he is about. He often has an accessory or two on his person that give me a subtle clue about his personality and interests. Maybe its a smokin' black leather jacket worn over the standard t-shirt and jeans, maybe its a jaunty little hat that says "tortured artist", maybe its a touchable Aran sweater to compliment his Celtic looks, or a streak of unnatural color in his hair or a well placed facial piercing(depending on whether or not he can pull it off gracefully),maybe its the string of a pink thong poking out of his gym shorts (jk, but you get the idea). Its not that I like vanity so much that it is a compliment when a guy puts as much effort into his appearance as I have. It says something about his ability to not be apathetic and unimaginative. It says that he cares what I think. So thank you, OP, for caring what we think !
And lastly, because there is no point dressing up something that isn't well well taken care of ( I was going to say "shining shit", but thought it rude), I wish more men would cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize, use masques and trim unruly eyebrow, nose and ear hair. I'm serious. My gay friends do, and they look younger, cleaner and just better in general.
