Posted: 5/12/2008 3:54:59 PM | | If a guy cannot see a woman beyond their hairstyle .. its likely that she doesn't want to have anything to do with them in the first place. If she likes the style and she thinks its good looking then all the power too her. Long hair looks good on some women but not all of them. Having short hair isn't a measure of testosterone. Hell she could use that for an idiot detector. | |

I think Women spend far too much money on fashion
that men could care less about. We certainly don't
know labels. I just know what's sexy, and what isn't! | |

There's nothing worse[almost], than a Pretty Lady dressing like a *Frump* .. and
indicating that she's not proud of herself..!! | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 5:43:26 PM | it really all matters how "fashion conscience" she is. To us "normal" men being too fashionable and wearing the expensive stuff sends out the signal that she is out of our social league. Not looks, social. So she needs to look around when shes out. Guys out wearing Wal-mart or Target bought button down shirts, a pair of jeans, and a nice pair of sneakers? Yeah she is probably way too dolled up. She'd be better off down the street at the club with guys wearing Armani suits sipping on $30 martinis.
I've seen a lot of girls who are like that at a lot of bars and clubs I have been to. Way too fashionable for the type of place shes at. It's ok to be latest new trend fashionable if you are around others who are the same, but you stick out like a duck out of water if you don't. You look unaccessible, you look like you don't belong.
on the haircut: i think youll find most men find at least shoulder-length hair more attractive than short pixie-cut hair (i had to look up the term pixie cut myself but once i saw it i knew what was meant). Show a guy a picture of a woman dolled up with shoulder length hair and the same woman dolled up with the shorter and most guys will choose the longer hair. it looks more femanine and again, not so trendy | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 5:54:04 PM | | I'd rather have a girl in jeans and tshirt or just casual clothes rather than all dolled up. I do love a girl in a tshirt, sleep pants and no makeup. That's extremely attractive to me XD. | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 6:45:53 PM | I think some men, myself included, see a near obsessive focus on one's appearance as a huge warning sign.
A woman who looks like she just stepped off the runway is likely to be very high maintenance. We know that your hair and face don't look like that when you wake up every morning. That means we will be the ones waiting for you to get from normal to fashionista everytime we want to go anywhere.
Plus, I still hold that women's fashion is largely devoted to appealing to other women rather than men. A lot of men, again including myself, don't really care if mini skirts are in or out. We don't care if plaid is in or out. You know what's in with men? The same stuff that's always in: traditional feminine features (which includes long-ish hair), clothes that accentuate your figure, makeup that draws attention to your better features without looking trashy, and cleavage. They never go out of style, I promise. | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 6:49:28 PM | | Isn't this post kissing-cousin to another one asking men if they can define the expression "high maintenance woman?" Fashion-conscious can very easily slip into fashion-slave...and from thence it's a slippery slope wherein people begin to shape into fashion accessories, as "nice-to-haves" than as people. Yet there is an odd sense of safety in objects. | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 7:13:01 PM | | I've never been attracted to fashionable women, as fashion is a whole mindset and clique I've never enjoyed or really wanted to run with. So you have that a huge minus, plus the fact that done-up women practically scream "I'm too good for you, slob" with their carriage and haute personalities. OP, your friend is basically taking herself out of the league of most men. Screw that. I'd rather go for the thick gothic chick who's out jogging. | |

If other women and the (often gay) guys in the fashion industry are the only ones telling you that you look hot that way, and the 'normal' guys aren't, then you've got a problem on your hands if you're a straight girl.
This reminds me of something from last year.
My best friend got her makeup professionally done at some big expensive fashionista type place by a gay guy who assured her she looked fabulous. And theoretically, she should have. She paid a lot of money.
But when she sheepishly stopped by my apartment afterwards and asked what I truly thought, I had to stifle a laugh. She literally looked like a drag queen........ exaggerated drawn on eyebrows, excessive lip liner, way too much blush, the whole 9 yards. I wanted to check her for a cðck.
So yeah, the whole point of that was just to give another example. Regardless of the fact that somebody told you it was attractive, if it wasn't someone from your target demographic, you might not want to trust that opinion.
This is why I only ask for fashion tips from attractive heterosexual girls. Not my guy friends. Not fashion conscious gay guys. Only from women I find attractive. They are my target demographic, so they are the ones I want to make sure I appeal to.
If a guy cannot see a woman beyond their hairstyle .. its likely that she doesn't want to have anything to do with them in the first place. If she likes the style and she thinks its good looking then all the power too her. Long hair looks good on some women but not all of them. Having short hair isn't a measure of testosterone. Hell she could use that for an idiot detector.
Thank you, Mr. Feminist. We all feel empowered now. | |

i see fashion as a poor use of money. people could be retired much earlier if they are careful with their spending behavior. | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 4:23:29 AM | | It depends on many things. She maybe be so fashionable that people think that fashion is all she cares about. She may look so good that men don't approach because they've learned that many such women say "no" followed by a nasty put down or verbal abuse. It may be just the fact that what other women find attractive in a woman is not what men find attractive in a woman. | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 6:35:31 AM | Fashionable is fine..just as long as she isn't stuck up along with it. I have met women who spend a lot of money on the latest and greatest clothing and then the fall flat on there faces...In my books if the personality isn't there then all the nice clothes in the world couldn't make her attractive. I had a date with a woman once whom decided that she was the fashion guru of London and as we sat and had drinks on a patio she insulted and criticized people walking past about there bodies ,there clothes ,there hair style , there shoes, there walk.
Needless to say regardless of how nice her clothing was that day she became a very unattractive person and the date ended abruptly by my choice. | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 7:37:53 AM | | It seems like from what you've said your girl may have just entered the "When a girl is too beautiful to approach" catagory there was a thread done on it just last week I think. Look it up. Many of your answers will lie within. And to you're friend? good luck honey because you've just entered a whole new world. | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 8:40:41 AM | Short answer: no
Reason: most guys wouldn't even be able to even identify a woman as fashionable.
Longer answer:
I look at a woman at first glance, things that might go through my mind as related to her appearance in terms of fashion would be 1) hair - length, color, 2) clothes - normal/classy/business/sweats, 3) (makeup)
As you've probably already gauged, longer hair > short for almost every guy. Guys don't keep up with fashion trends usually, so no way to we would know if what you are wearing is fashionable. My thought process as far as what a woman wears usually stops at Attractive/Unattractive. If for some reason it goes an extra step it will go to (normal/classy/business/sweats).
If the thought that the girl is wearing makeup has occurred to the guy who glanced at her, then she is wearing too much.
Frankly once I've exchanged even a few words with a woman these details become facts of little importance as focus goes to voice, demeanor, expression...
I can’t think of one time in my life when I looked at a female and the description “fashionable” went through my mind. | |

Last month a mutual friend got a very fashionable haircut that is rather extreme
…
[She favours an appearance] that make[s] her stand out rather than her old things that helped her hide.
…
[She loves] putting her own twist on things. She's a fashionable person not a sheep, in my opinion anyway.
So where’s the mystery? If her appearance is no longer mainstream then she can hardly expect to maintain her pervious level of herd acceptance. Human behaviour tends towards conformity and the path of least resistance. If she feels he new look is more reflective of her personality then she should stick with it. She may attract fewer men but those she does will prove more compatible. | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 8:54:41 AM | why would a man prefer a woman in sweats over a woman in a nice dress and heels? I dress up even to go grocery shopping. I am the best dressed person in my apartment laundry room. People should be well dressed at all times, there's no room for sloppiness and being unfashionable.
I even coordinate my umbrellas as I have a large collection of umbrellas in every color. I have found that it seems black men seem to notice more than others as I am always getting compliments on my colorful outfits from black men and a few black women. I also get alot of snares from others. I am never a slob and always get noticed whether it be good or bad.  | |

That's a big fat "NO" from this particular man. I find the more a woman is into fashion, the more shallow and pretentious she is. | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 9:36:02 AM | It is easy to be brave when you can hind behind a monitor and key board. The hardest part is having the courage and knowing who you are. Most men get tounge tied in front of a beautiful lady. The desire is there but the fear of rejection is very strong. Male egos are very weak. The only man that does not wish to have a beautiful lady as a friend is GAY. The best motto I have heard is “save the drama for your mama”. Just be up front and honest. DAMN GIRL YOU LOOK GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I prefer the woman to be real and honest. Clothes do not make the person. The person makes the cloths.

Posted: 5/15/2008 10:29:48 AM | | Why does being fashionable make a woman shallow any more than a man who takes a sports game too seriously? I have over 100 skirts and over 20 purses and close to 50 pairs of shoes (half I can't walk in but they are so cute) so how does that make a woman shallow? Why would any man want to go out with a woman in sweats? Women should be well dressed all times and personally I am only attracted to men who wear ties and nice shirts and nice shoes. I loath a man in those ugly cargo shorts they wear here in the south. So what if it is hot, put on a nice shirt, dresspants and a tie. | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 10:58:53 AM | I didn't read all the posts, but for me, this is what gets me about "fashionable people"
i don't mean she's running about in mini skirts and sky scrapper heels to the supermarket (unless of course hooker chic replaces boho this summer).
To me, fashionable is relatively interchangeable with gullible. Runway models look ridiculous (to me) and I personally question the intelligence of most people who dress trendy, I mean take Christian Audigier for example, that is some of the ugliest clothing I have ever seen, but its as popular as the mullet was in the early 90's, and we all know how awesome mullets are. | |

Good point 'superlizard' , I think a lot of us guys see that correlation.
Not to make this into a gender thing the same goes for male fashion-victims btw; basically a male and female sub-species obsessed with status and how they are perceived by others, often masking a deep seated insecurity and need to conform. Generally this sub-species is found in an urban setting, congregating in 'lounges' , and is commonly saddled with a crippling credit card debt.
So no, not attractive to me, but plenty attractive to the male-equivalent I'm sure. | |

Simple, isn't it?
People are different and some men actually prefer someone that looks casual and comfortable. Shocker, I know.
There's a world of difference between being a slob and being casually dressed too. Just because someone wears sweats doesn't mean they're mustard stained, smelly sweats. Huge difference between that and wearing a nice pair of clean sweats. I'd even go so far as to say that the person that dresses like the latter would not be a slob.
So what if it is hot, put on a nice shirt, dresspants and a tie.
Uh... some people like how they look in shorts. Some people also emphasize comfort over looking all dressy and formal all the time. Big deal if you don't like it, they do. | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 3:07:02 PM | | When I think of "fashinable" I think of trendy. This makes me think of extremely unattractive, immature women. Easy lay, such as Paris Hilton ETC, is not attractive sorry. | |
