Like the hypermajority of men, I have not received compliments even once in my life until I started following RMRS's advice. Now? Almost every time I go out. It's uncanny. At first I was always so confused but now I take it in stride. I don't have too many opportunities to go out except for work (where we have a uniform) or the gym (I'm NOT dressing up for that, the clothes would get destroyed), but when I do? At least two random strangers will say something about the fit, or the hat, or a simple "You look nice!" It's awesome, and this particular outfit gets the most. Yes, I still need to get my stuff actually tailored (I have a tailor nearby, I just need to find the time), but so far? Major boost to the self-esteem. Although a rather unexpected development, unrelated to the clothes themselves but rather the weight loss that have coincided with them— as I have been taking care of my health, I have been sweating way more, when I was honestly kind of expecting the opposite. Any suggestions to handle that? I've tried layering to try and absorb and/or hide the sweat, but it ends up looking like I jumped into a pool after just a ten minute drive, and according to the weather reports next week is going to be even worse. 😭

Having a short Friday and the an extended weekend time to make every is going to flow smooth. Prior work planning makes sure that you do not have to play catch up.

Just got this tweed blazer for free at a thrift store, I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now and finally found one! I’m shooting for that 1890s to 1920s look. But I feel like I added why to many brown colors, do you gents think that it’s to many variations of brown?

Went to pick up a copy of my birth certificate to get a passport... of course I end up showing up five minutes after theh closed even though the posted hours said they were open another hour. Then I have a "film festival" for my younger brother's high school class later. I feel like you can tell the weight loss has made a lot of progress recently.

There are so many gentlemen in this group (> 13,000) but only a handful are active contributors to the discussions. It would be interesting to know the geographical distribution of these contributors. Here is the poll. Where do you live? This is part 1, there's more to come.
