You may care about it, and I appreciate that you do, to an extent, but if you think $400 for a pair of shoes is sensible, you need thumped in your head.
It's sad that being a "real man" is supposed to preclude you from enjoying some of the finer things created by Western culture, such as a nice suit, or a pair of Gucci loafers.
Used to be that guys knew how to dress themselves, but seom people want to make a poltitical or cultural statement out of slovenliness.
I wear nice things when appropriate and look damned nice in them, but like I said, its FAR MORE LIKELY you will see me in jeans, tshirt and flannel.
Sorry, but you can’t fix or build things in a gucci suit.
THere is a huge difference between being a slop and being a metrosexual. Just because one doesn’t get a manicure or wear the latest fashion does not make one a slob... I think someones projecting a bit too much.
