I don't think anyone is naive enough to think that jeans will get you laid. But dressing nice and stylish certainly helps in most cases and definitely doesn't hurt.

Lets break down the guido...

They are obsessed with appearances so they work out, tan, well groomed(meaning their hair isn't scruffy) they never mis a hair cut and it is always styled often times with 1 lb gel , clothing is trendy, clean and pressed, shoes are shiny black or spotless white.

While most look at them and gasp in horror at how douchy they are .......in the feeble guidette brain they interpret this as Wow he takes care of his body(works out), he is clean cut, he knows how to dress himself and he has nice shoes. This guy has potentional

Then we have joe schmo....faded, poorly fitting Old navy jeans on....some cross trainers that have to be at least 6months old by the wear and dirt. He's not even wearing a belt. He is pasty white from not ever being outside of the basement. His baggy old highschool tshirt can't conceal his manboobs and gut from lack of physical exercise. His facial hair reveals he hasn't shaved in days and the scraggly long hair falls onto his brow from underneath his 4 year old hat from his alma mater that looks like its literally been through hell.

The feeble guidette brain sees joe schmo gasps in horror thinks who let the hobo in here?

I've never paid more than $20 for a pair of jeans and most are $14.95 for me 😛

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I have both pairs and the Lucky's from Costco are fucking mediocre in comparison.

fit/finish aren't as good and the quality of the denim itself is several, several steps below what is sold at the actual stores.

You really enjoy the generalizations....

Wait... 6 month old shoes? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sourceninja]

I buy most of my clothes at target.

 

[LeadMagnet]

$20 to $35 (Lee or Levi) and I wear them often, they typically last 5+ years maybe 150 wears

I have 6 month old shoes. I wear them to the gym. Or when I'm outdoors working in the garden.

I don't think I'm off the mark in my generalizations. Working where I do on the weekends I see literally hundreds and hundreds of people in my demographic and what they where out. the joe schmo's of the world are as I described. The guidos of the world are as I described.

See, you reveal more ignorance of fashion. You can wear sneakers to a bar or for a night out, but these are NOT the same sneakers you played basketball in or wore to the gym for the last 6 months. You have work out shoes, and going out shoes. It's the difference between wearing your $200 jeans to a party and wearing them when you are cleaning up the yard after it rains. You don't do it.

Read again. Where did he say that "joe schmo" in his example was walking into a bar or a party?

YOU may not wear sub $200 jeans into a party or a bar, but I would. And you know what? I'd get a girl too if I wanted. Here's a hint. I am attracted to girls that would enjoy my personality, humor and confidence. Not the ones that would be attracted to the label on my ass.

It's perfectly fine for you to like that type of girl and perfectly fine for me to like my type too. *note both our types can be ugly and/or gorgeous. These things are not mutually inclusive.

 

[mpitts]

I don't spend a ton on jeans, but I can say that most people that would pay $200+ for jeans would probably laugh and scoff at someone who paid $200+ for a video card.

Why are you using such extreme examples? Let's isolate one factor at a time here. What about a guy who works out regularly, is well-groomed, but buys clothes in the $30-50 range instead of the $100-$200+ range? Is he going to be so much worse off than the guido, or anyone who spends hundreds on clothes?

Yes, these are the people that articles talking about the "credit crisis" are referring to. I'm sure their credit card is equally glamrous. Oh, and when straight guys are wearing jeans that look like they are from a girls store, I am not impressed. As a matter of fact, I think you are gay until I see your girlfriend walk up to you. I swear that m,y gaydar is busted.

If you dress nicely and your clothes are clean and pressed that is the more important than the cost of your jeans.

no not really. The dude brought up guido's.(an extreme example) I explained guido's then I explained the opposite of guido's.

I refuse to believe the folks here with 14.99 jeans are presentable when they go out.

here's a pair of diesel jean for $250 from nordy:

[EGGO]

I have bought a few times. I do feel that the jeans are better than my cheaper ones because of the softness, wahs, and other unique things that give those pairs of jeans character over my other pairs.

Just so you know, yes, I have also bought shoes, shirts, cufflinks, and belts in that same category.

Jackets, however, no.

 

[Jakeisbest]

Look at it like this how many people on this forum are running QX9650 ($1000) or Q9550 ($550) when all you really need is an E2160 for $70!

How many of you guys have SLI or Crossfire setups when really all you need to play most games is an 7800gt?

From my view point getting 4870 Crossfire graphics on a new x48 board with a water cooled E8400 at 4 ghz so you can max Crysis is the same as spending money to get some Rock and Republic Jeans, a slick Monarchy shirt, ed hardy shoes, and some gucci sunglasses so you can look fabulous at a club on the weekend.

Also I agree w/ Iceburg, if you have 15 dollar jeans you probably are not going on any dates.

Huh.
I've been to Nordstroms a time or two, I guess I never paid attention to the price because I was just there to kill time. 😱

 

[miketheidiot]

i wouldn't pay $200 because i don't have the cash to spend on a single item, but i have and will pay 50-70 for a decen fitting, decent cut pair of jeans.

 

[Brainonska511]

I've been wearing Levis for the past 6 years. They might need to be replaced once every 2 years. A great deal when they cost ~$30 (give or take depending on the sale) at Kohls.

 

[Regs]

Express cloths outless is my limit. 100 or so.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

I thought my JNCO's were expensive at nearly $80 a pair
