As for the guy who said he didn't like ties and if it bothered soemone they could KHA, what an arrogant jerk. Whatever event he was attending was not fiven for him. He has no respect for others and probably very little for himself. My father always dressed apprpriately for the event he was attending (and he was as blue collar as they come) and it really bothered me to see people at his funeral in jeans and worn out shirts. You couldn't put on tie for an hour or two tp show soemone a little respect?

I agree that dressing for the occassion is important. If you're blue collar, put on clean, pressed clothes for work and you will feel better about yourself. The thing that bugs me the most is people showing up for weddings, funerals, church, etc in totally inappropriate dress. Weddings and funerals are somewhat formal occassions. A coat and tie won't kill you and it shows respect to those hosting the event. Going to a funeral or wedding in jeans and collarless shirt is about as unmanly as you can get, IMHO.

I am as blue collar as one gets. I certainly tucked in my shirt and put on a tie. I was nearly the only man there with a tie and dress shirt on. I certainly feel I was right, and they were wrong. I think that by taking the time to make yourself look decent shows respect to the person and the event, whatever it may be. I did ask one friend why he didn't put on a tie. He said he hates ties and if they don't like it they can kiss his ass. He is a prime example of the boyish cockiness mentioned in the introduction. While I don't do it everyday, I certainly feel more confident, and more manly when I get up and get dressed as opposed to getting up and throwing on sweat pants and old tee shirt. Perhaps that will be one of the short term goals I set. I've only just begun visiting this site and have a lot of reading to do. It has been a pleasure thus far. I hope there are more out there that want men to return to what they once were. Women as well. The world has to few ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for the good work you do here.

I have found that the combination of working out and dressing well as made my confidence skyrocket. I am in martial arts and weightlifting, I have started a swiminng program too. I am also in the old car hobby, that is great brotherhood. When I go out, even on the Sat errends, I always wear a dress shirt, sport coat and good jeans. When the weather allows it, a good hat. I love the comments I get from other people. After being unemployed for the last six months, I needed to up my confidence.
