it's insane how much you are judged by the way you dress/look in person

IF I dress up well, wear a nice watch, show my tattoos. People will assume that i'm wealthy and i get treated like i'm a king where ever I go

If I go out dressed looking like a homeless person? People act like I don't even exist . I could ask for a cup of water they will say "no" if I go to a restaurant in a hoodie and shorts I will have to literally ask to get service. Now if I go in dressed up looking good? "Right this way king, first drink is on me" Waitresses will be flirting "wanting to know who you are" since you "look wealthy"

Yeah people assume that I am a drug dealer or gangster when I wear sports clothes, but otherwise I look nice when I dress more presentably.

Women also notice, especially when I dress up in corporate attire - so it's easy to become dependant on fashion to feel confident.

The obvious solution it to dress up as a strategic maneuver, but be comfortable in sports clothes and not give a fugg what people think.

You dare mock me?

Brother, you'd buckle if you saw me in my sports clothes. All 6 foot 5 of you. You're 5 incher would shrivel from the adrenaline pushing the blood to go straight to you head.

What's even crazier is how many people either don't understand this, or do and still make zero effort.

You don't have to be a BB'er on fin with shin extensions.

But even just dressing in clothes that fit, shaving or trimming a beard, trimming nose hairs, being a healthy weight, etc.

I know your type. You're pretty tall, built, and you think that's what makes a man; his appearance or musculature. The problem with this is that you're relying on someone being intimidated by your size or appearance to stay safe. This might work on some people, but it wont work on people who've been through a rough life. The deciding factor is the level of aggression and anger that a person can muster up and whether or not they can fight through the flight/fright response and stand and fight. Most of the serious gangsters or bikies i've encountered and dueled have something wrong with their personality where they won't back down to people no matter what, like they have DID or something - they're not normal. So yeah, your muscle and height means fugg all in a real confrontation - but of course it does help to have some size, robustness and most importantly agility/athleticism, but it means fugg all in actual dominance.

I also think the effect is amplified thanks to your physique.

If you watch movies the bad boy thugs have big muscles, and so do the James Bond/Jack Reacher leading men.

Normal people don't have big muscles (in movies and TV shows) so people unconsciously stereotype you into one of the above groups.

Hoodie and sneakers? Bad boy thug. Lock the doors honey.

Clean shaven with nice clothes? Must be a man of wealth and taste. Have you met my daughter?

There's a third group too - cops/military - but those require a certain haircut and way of dressing too.

For some people wearing sports clothes IS normal. Because I am ethnic and muscular, if I wear adidas people think I'm a hood rat, but if an asian or white aussie does the same thing, they look fine.

I CBF wearings jeans and shirts when walking about or hanging out, etc.

When I was at uni I'd just wear sports clothes, the same type of crap I wear to the gym. Where as beta ph4ggots would dress up in chinos, etc, to look presentable and make people like them.

I know very well that people would like me more if I dressed appropriately or acted a certain way, but I refuse to comply and allow my own emotions to be dictated by what some ph4ggot or sloots thinks of me.

If someone doesn't love me for nothing more than who I am, I don't want to even know the transactional kunts. When I was younger I was chubby, but I got into the gym and lost weight, etc, and realised that people started treating me better for no real reason other than my appearance. They can go eff themselves.

It's understandable. I judge people all the time based off how they look. Pajamas, socks & slides, leggings/"athleisure," crocs, and so on. People who dress slovenly get no respect from me.

Call me old fashioned, but I don't think you should have a nice watch or nice clothes or be getting tattoos while living with your mom.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I never see a man with tattoos and say "oh wow, this guy must be wealthy". I see an impulsive man who spends his money without a care in the world.
