Style Tips for Mature Men

I've decided to do a little public service by posting this extremely old diary entry here. 98% of the men I date are 40 & older so believe me when I tell you that I know what I am talking about
This is for men 35 years old & up
The DON'Ts list
1) no handlebar mustaches ! you are not Tom Selleck, this is not a rerun of "Mangum P.I.".
Why?- facial hair feels bad plus looking at it hurts my soul. facial hair makes the baby Jesus cry ;-(
2) pegged pants- if your pants are loose, then super tight at the ankle that means they are pegged. Pegged=bad.
Why?-they make you look pear shaped. Buy straight legged, low waisted pants that are long enough to cover your socks even when you are sitting.
3)tucked to the ribs- the only time your shirt should be tucked in is if you are wearing a suit or tuxedo. Your pants should never be anywhere near your real waist line.
Why?- lower waistlines make you look taller & thinner. Plus, nothing is worse than those guys with gigantic bellies who insist on tucking in their shirts. The front of the pants is wedged under the gut & the back is hiked up to cover the ass. ICK!
4)old clothes- there is a big difference between old & vintage. Just because the pants you bought in 1991 still fit, does not mean you should still be wearing them.
Why?- your wardrobe should never be dated. When you are mature, your clothes should reflect that. You don't have to be trendy either, nor should you want to be.
5)free tee shirts with logos- do I really have to explain why??? Your attire should be classic & elegant. Would Gary Cooper or Clark Gable be caught dead in a Jiffy Lube tee with shorts? I don't think so....
6)the dreaded banana hammock- ok, so I encountered one of these yesterday. It was like an episode of "Fear Factor". Unless you are a 26 year old Brad Pitt clone, your dresser should not have any banana hammocks in it (for swimming or as underwear).
Why? -Tighty whities are gross, speedos are unacceptable. End of story.
7)yellow teeth- ugh! I love coffee & red wine just as much as the next person, but let's get real. Y'know they have whitening toothpastes now. There is no excuse to have a mouth full of corn
8)untended lawns- have you ever heard of the phrase "manscaping"? Manscaping means to trim all unnecessary hairs ie basic grooming. You don't have to shave your body, but grooming is key. Don't be afraid of your scissors. Believe me, your hot, new girlfriend will be thankful!!!!
