      Seriously. Nobody is putting on even a dress shirt to go to Applebees.

        Does no one dress nicely for anything any longer? Hell, I shower and dress nicely for when my wife comes home from work. I wish to be attractive for her when she arrives.

        And if anyone equates dressing well with “uncomfortable” and/or “expensive”, they’re a child needing some fashion tips and advice.

          Yes, when it’s appropriate. I always dress for the occasion. Applebee’s is very low on the occasion scale.

          It’s also kind of weird to dress up for your spouse just so they find you attractive. I’d rather be found attractive regardless of attire, and save dressing up for something special.

            We disagree! And that’s great, means we can talk!

            I dress up for my woman every day before she comes home from work. (I work from home.)

            It takes almost no extra effort. Why shouldn’t I? I’ve heard my wife brag to her friends, “He is so ‘pogie’ when I come home, and he does it for me!” (Apparently ‘pogie’ is ‘hot’ or ‘cute’ in Tagalog. 🤷🏻‍♂️)

            And it makes me feel good about myself, so why not?

            My college roommate dressed nice, tie and all, for an algebra exam. I laughed.

            “Fuck are you doing?!”

            “I dress nice, feel good about myself, do better on the test.”

            That was a life-changing moment for me.
