I think I might have to compromise

Most people are rude to me when they first meet me and I think it's because I dress like George Constanza or Jerry Seinfeld from the Seinfeld sitcom. Polo shirts, shirts, chinos, smart-ish jackets. 

I might switch over to hoodies, jogging pants and jeans. Sometimes you just want to catch a break off people, you know? I personally believe in dressing smart but what's the point if it makes people dislike me so much?

Sigh. I really don't like how superficial society is, and how if one doesn't go along with it, people will often refuse to open doors for you. I may as well give way to them, the masses have determined fashion. I need some new social connections, you've got to be pragmatic sometimes, right?

A bit like politics. They have to kiss babies and do a certain kind of publicity campaign or they never get into office. You've got to play the game?

  • Who are those people who are rude to you, are they wearing hoodies and jogging pants?

    Do you think they are rude because of pants they wear? ..I know.. you know chances are the same people will continue to be rude and abusive because they have low self esteem and have found somebody they perceive to be  more vulnerable, so they want to kick someone they feel they can. Don't let them.

    Female perspective? Hoodies are for teens. Jogging pants on grown men? Yuk...

  • I'll have to become more confident so they don't perceive me as vulnerable.

    If you were choosing clothes for an adult man in his thirties, to wear casually out and about (when not in work) what would you buy?

  • Wear clothes you feel comfortable in - if you try to dress in a way you don't feel comfortable in you'll look bad, doesn't matter if it's an Armani suit or a set of jogging bottoms and a hoody you need to wear clothes that fit and flatter your body shape and that you like.

    If you feel good, you'll look good and if you look good you'll feel good.

    Go shopping with someone you trust and who has a dress sense you like.
