Of course you do you happy, optimistic, successful person. Yet more proof of our superiority over our slovenly untucked, poor, single coworkers

Tuckers report 19% higher incomes than those who don’t tuck.
Tuckers' responses reveal they are 10% more likely to report being socially outgoing.
Tuckers are 8% more likely to report they date often
Tuckers report being 22% more optimistic about their futures than non-tuckers
Turns out, tucking your shirt can unlock the secret to happiness. 61% of tuckers report being happy on the job, versus 49% of non-tuckers

Depends. If I'm on the job and have a dress shirt that needs to be tucked in, then it's tucked in.

If it's casual day and it's a shirt that doesn't need to be tucked in, then it's not tucked in.

Unless it's a t-shirt. People that tuck in t-shirts are weird.

Almost never. About the only ones I tuck in regularly are the undershirt if I wear more than one layer.

Work cloths - yes, of course.

Casual cloths - fuck. No. I go out of my way to ensure NONE of my casual shirts are to be worn tucked in. They are all un-tucked button ups. And, they are all short sleeved. No long sleeves. Even in the dead of winter (thats what pull overs and coats are for).

I tuck in anything that has a collar, including golf shirts, regardless of what I'm wearing on my legs or if its a work/non-work day.

The only exception to this is sweaters that have collars. Don't tuck in a sweater.

This data is all coming from the site of someone trying to sell you t-shirts that stay tucked in :colbert:


Surprised they don't also list longer, fuller erections being associated with tucking your... oh, wait, there it is.

Tuck for work, and as a hiring manager, I would never hire someone who did not have a tucked in shirt during an interview.

Depends on the job, really. If you're doing it on the weekends you are either A) A social pariah or B) A DORK!

You're as bad as someone who judges people for having tattoos. :colbert:

You anti-tuck bastard. :mad::p

always used to tuck in every shirt. As an overweight guy, if I didn't tuck in my shirt, the gut hair would get stuck in my belt and be very very painful. No longer have that problem, so i can go untucked with tshirts.

Only tuck mine in Mon-Thurs. Friday and the weekends are usually untucked. If I'm going out on a date with my wife, I'll tuck in as well usually.

You look like a laid back slob if you don't tuck. In fact, our work dress code requires tucking :)

I tuck all my shirts, from my 2 tshirts (yes I only own 2) to my 3 buttons to my button downs. I don't understand why you wouldn't tuck them in.

Yes. Always. Doesn't matter if it's a t-shirt or a button down...it gets tucked in. The only time I don't tuck in my "shirt" is when it's a sweater...and that usually has a tucked in shirt underneath.

Not enough of a difference in those bs stats for me to start tucking! I will tuck if I have to, say if I'm wearing a suit for some occasion. But my role within the corporate peasant brigade allows me to wear mostly whatever I want, so I do. Aint tucking that shit in.

Hardly ever, since I usually wear a polo or t-shirt to work.

Silicon valley seems to have an entirely different dress code than the rest of the planet, at least for Engineers. :biggrin:
