Is it very important to you that men and women dress differently?

    I like boys who dress up, stylish, not girly. Kinda like 'soft butch' lesbians, or David Bowie. :p Actually I like that kinda look on girls too. Boys in the standard 'I don't give a fuck about how I look' uniform are a major turn off. Sadly this accounts for 99.5% of all men everywhere.

    So, definitely no. I prefer androgyny on both sexes.

    As much as some male transvestites can creep me out (I'm talking to you 9 foot tall black shemale I keep seeing at Walmart), I must say, that I wouldn't mind being able to try on a dress one day, and not look like a psycho. I mean, my sister wears most of my clothes, why shouldn't I be able to do the same?




    And I've always preferred girls that dress casually, like a guy would - but now I find myself pressuring my girlfriend to get into skirts and dresses and clothes I can fuck her in =P

    No. It is only important to be naked at the same time.

    I think what's important is that we all get to wear what we like.

    That about sums it up for me too, except for the coat and tie.
    Problem is I can never get the wife to dress in anything girly, much less sexy. Always in jeans or jean shorts, her tops are usually nice womens tops but still nothing dressy at all, ever.
    We're both casual around the house but I do have to get on her sometimes for dressing to sloppy at home. Comfy is one thing, sloppy is another.

    There's this woman I work with, she dresses like I'd like my wife to. She'll wear jeans and nice top one day, slacks another day and sometimes a dress. You never know what you'll get but it's really cool seeing a woman change her look from day to day. One day her hair's up, another it's down.
    Take notice of that women, that gives you a mysterious quality most men love.

    Caster, the question I'd like to know is, how much effort do -you- put into looking nice? Do you put as much effort in as you'd like your wife to? If not, who are you to complain?

    I think it's really cool seeing a man change his look from day to day. Putting in effort each day, really thinking out his wardrobe and creating a look that's unique and interesting.

    I don't feel I put any "effort" into it at all. Why?

    No matter what I almost always have my shirt tucked in, even wearing jeans and T-shirt. Everything I wear is clean and neat looking with a good fit. I'll wear a belt with casual if it helps the look.
    When I put on a T-shirt I'll check in the mirror to make sure the collar hasn't stretched out to much, ugly look IMO to have a huge stretched out neck hole in a T-shirt. To much and in the trash it goes.
    Even yard work clothes I refuse to look ratty. Usually kaki type shorts and tucked in golf shirt recycled from work clothes.

    House lounging clothes I may have on gym shorts, nice new ones though, but a button down short sleeve tailered shirt with the top few buttons undone, it actually looks pretty good and it's comfy to boot. IMO it looks better than a hawaiian shirt with the rounded bottom, at least on me since I'm only 5'-7, but I do wear those around the pool when I need to cover up.

    The only somewhat "dirty" clothes I have are for working on the race car, they're gonna get nasty so I have a few sets just for that. But they get cycled out often.

    Once you take a little time to get a few looks you like it actually takes very little effort to look nice, no matter what you're doing. Work, Casual, Dinner out, or yard work.

    I read an interesting article awhile back. It was about how men and women will put on aires to attract each other, but once you're in a relationship you let things go a bit. I refuse to do that, but my wife did that.
    Still love her dearly, but I'd like a little more effort to look nicer.

    Hm, I wonder if that's part of the reason all the chicks at school are into me.

    I do like to look nice most days, that definitely wasn't the case in highschool =P (Most all black shirts; ripped, too long of jeans)

    Nah.. I still think it's cause I'm taken.

    I dont care what other people wear, it is not my concern. and especially do nto care if boys dressed supposedly boy like clothes, or girls wear certain girly clothes. Dont really think there is an girly and boy style of clothes, it is what you want to wear. Yes there are the specific departments in the stores, but if a girl wants to wear baggy pants, or blue or whatever. I have no issue with it. why would I?

    Well, looking good with women's clothes actually does take a lot more effort. It's just a thing. Men's clothes are pretty much designed to be no-brainers. But... It does sound like you at least put in the effort to look somewhat sharp, and you wife doesn't. And that's actually what I was asking.

    Btw, a lot of the airs that men put on to attract women have more to do with focused attention and effort put in to impress and seduce. And most men drop that fairly shortly into a relationship. Chatting with other women, it's the number one complaint of women more recently involved(0-3 yrs or so). That their guys just seem as into them any more.

    But, since it seems she's slipped more than you, let me ask... Does she work? Does she get out of the house a lot? Does she have aims and ambitions? Stay at home wives almost universally stop trying much on the appearance thing. By and large they tend to amongst the most depressed people around.

    She works, we have no kids and she's always been a free spirit. She wore some funky stuff when we first met, but it looked nice on her. That's what attracted me in the first place. Cute and quirky.
    Now it's the same-o same-o.

    She'll dress up some when we're going out to a nice place, but any other time I could just about guess what's she's gonna wear right down to the shoes. Jean shorts and spagetti strap top with a cover shirt.
    I just envy the guys whose girl might wear jeans and a t-shirt one day and a sun dress the next. You're a girl, be girly sometimes.

    Hum. Dunno then.
    Some women just perform femininity(are girly :rolleyes:) because of social pressure/reward. Once that pressure/reward is removed, they don't feel the need to do it any more. Others do it because it's fun. Sounds like your wife falls in the former category.
