I am No Fashionista, But I Know What Looks Good
By special request, I am making this post public. If you want the back story (or any other story) you will have to subscribe to my other blog.
Men, this post is for you. And ladies, if you agree with me please say so, because some of the men who are guilty of these fashion faux pas may not believe me. At the tail end of this post are some pics to give you an idea what I am talking about.
First if you are a little heavy (or obese like El Bloberino) there are certain things you should never do:
1. Never wear a shirt tucked in. It accentuates your blobby belly. It frightens us when we see a prominent gut hanging over your pants. It frightens us and we want to look away. Instead, find a nice T-shirt that you can wear out or a nice button-down that has an appropriate hem-line for hanging out. Trust me. This looks way better then tucking in the shirt!
2. Please don't wear polo shirts. This makes you look old and way too conservative. Again, stick with a nice T-shirt or button-down that is fashionable. And please iron your shirt before you go on a date with us.
3. Never wear a belt with your shirt tucked in if you have a gut. This looks awful. First of all, if a man is going to pull off a belt at all, it should cut across his mid-section parallel to the ground. If your belt line cuts across and angles up in the back, this looks terrible. It makes your butt look like it starts at your lower back. Girls do NOT like this at all. If you are going to wear a belt, wear it under your shirt that is tucked out. On the other hand, if your belt is successfully parallel to the ground and is not hidden under your belly, you can wear cool belts all the time. This looks good with any outfit. But follow the rules on the belt wearing please!
4. Avoid light colored jeans. Avoid jeans that are high-waisted. This is a must for all people everywhere actually, including women. Light colored, high-waisted jeans just make your butt look bigger. They are not attractive at all. They are very 80's and out of style. Instead pick a pair of modern jeans, with a lower rise, that are dark denim. This is much more attractive – even on men who are a little heavier.
5. Please don't ever wear pleated pants. Never never never. Please. These are hideous and make you look fat. If you have to wear these for work (which you don't have to, because you buy your own work clothes, right?) please change into a nice pair of jeans or pants that are flat in the front before you go on a date with us. Pleated pants are old fashioned, unattractive, too conservative, and just don't look good at all. At all. Not even at work. Seriously.
6. Wear a nice pair of shoes. They can be sneakers if they are nice - not fresh -white-just-off-the-shelf sneakers. I mean sneakers which look cool. Please stay away from work boots, hiking boots, tennis shoes or old ratty shoes on a date. Please.
7. Please avoid styling your hair like a conservative republican or Mormon. Even if you are a conservative republican or Mormon we don’t want you to look like one. This means don’t part your hair down the side and brush it over like your mom did to you when you were 5 on picture day at school. This is a very uninteresting hairstyle for men. Look at all male celebs – they have nice fashionable hairstyle. So can you.
8. The worst offenders do all of the above at once. You know who you are.
Men, when you care about your appearance it impresses us. Especially if your physique is not perfect. We like men who know how to dress and make the most of their appearance. We do it for you, can you do the same for us?
Here are some examples of Do's and Don'ts:
As you can see in the above picture, so many things are wrong here. Big gut, accentuated by a belt and a tucked-in shirt. No no no! AND high-waisted light colored jeans???? This is never a good uniform for any occasion. Just throw it away.
Now do you see what I mean about pleated pants??? And the belt that cuts at an angle up to the back??? And the polo shirt to boot???? Men. Come on. You can see this isn't a good look, right? Please stop! 
Now we're talking. This man is heavier than the average man and knows how to dress. A very nice button-down that is meant to wear untucked. This is perfect even if you are a skinny little guy. 
Gerard knows how to rock a white T, cool jeans and baseball cap. A+. If a man showed up on a date with me looking like this, I would love it. I would be impressed that he knows how to dress casual and still look great. 
This is Andrew Garcia from American Idol. I really like his style. Graphic, cool T's with a nice pair of jeans, a belt that fits correctly and even a chain. I love his beanie cap. The only thing I would change would be the color of his jeans. I would make them darker.
Justin is giving a great example of how to be casual and look awesome. Dark, low rise jeans. A belt that is parallel to the ground. And of course a perfect ensemble of T and cardigan. This is a great look for a date.
Johnny is awesome and full of interesting style. Here is he toned down but I like the simplicity. Nice dark blue jeans and a simple black T with a properly worn belt. You can't go wrong with this.
I am in love with Hugh. Anyway, this is a good example of a nice button-down worn out with a nice pair of dark jeans. Casual. Perfect. Sexy.
This is what I mean by a cool pair of sneakers. These are made by Steve Madden. Men, there are so many cool shoes in the world that are casual, comfortable, and look great.Please. Try out some--if not all--of these tips on your next first date. I would bet you one million dollars your girl will be impressed.
