Many of us joined RMRS to better ourselves from a daily clothing ascetic and improve the way we ultimately dress and look on a daily basis. But I think there’s so much more to growth as a Real Man through mental, manners, and how to be a gentleman. That being said, one thing I’ve taken is also the accountability that we subconsciously place on ourselves by choosing to post our OOTD and allow ourselves to be critiqued by our brothers and sisters.
This brings me to my point, I’ve fallen into a complacency with my daily outfit as many days this is my standard “uniform” of jeans, company logged polo and various levels of footwear depending on my destination that day. The one thing I overlooked is the aforementioned accountability. I’ve made some great connections and friends within the community and my daily post helped me greatly on the weightloss journey and battle through PT and shoulder surgery. I have become lackadaisical as of late in my posts and have seen that it has trickled down to other aspects of my life, specifically my “food” life and began slowly putting some of the weight I’ve lost back on.
This being said, personally I look at this community as so much more than an opportunity to look better, it’s an opportunity to become a better dresser, person, friend, and brother. I’ve returned to the commitment level I had before during my journey and have lost the weight I gained and have the focus to reach my goal. I’m not asking for thanks or pomp and circumstance here, merely a tip of the hat.
