I'll always remember this one Gentleman who walked into our sales booth at a homeshow some years ago... He was a visible minority in clean jeans, flip flops and a button down long sleeve shirt. No one would serve him, they'd all pretend to be busy and ignored the chap. So I hurried up and finished with my customer while asking for his continued patience. I treated him just like any other person who walked in and everyone I meet in general... with respect! To make a long story short, the best sale of the day, he pulled a wad of cash that I'd NEVER seen before... of course I stared... He must have had 30-40K on him cash... all 1000$ and 100$ bills. Being the ballsy kid I was, I asked him outright what he did for a living. He said... Your booth.... my building. 
On the flipside... I can't tell you how many times Gucci boys credit card gets rejected. 
 I've had similar experiences myself John....NEVER judge a book by its' cover......

So, money is more important than looks or personality?
(sarcasm alert) Well, that's a revaluation. |

I step-out of character once in awhile and surprise people. (And even surprise myself!)...I know how to dress-up to the "hilt" when need be...I'm not really a "country bumpkin!"...But I enjoy being "unassuming" and blending into the "woodworks" most of the time...Maybe you could call it taking on a "Clark Kent personna." I sit back and take things "in" and play "secret reporter."...This is how I learn about life and human nature for my writing and just for my general knowledge!...I like to be the "fly on the wall" that nobody sees or notices!

I think Texas Scoundrel is talking more about attracting the opposite sex which is why he thinks people should look their best. I look my best for a job interview or when I am in uniform as I wouldn't want to do anything to embarrass the military. For me; uniforms scare guys off anyways; so its all good. Other than that; its casual clothing. I used to dress up for a date but when I was dating but then thought why bother? Just wore jeans and t-shirts after a while as it never seemed to make a difference to guy one way or another. |

Especially if they are uniforms worn at a Playboy facility.

Well; there are the rare few but here its not that way. I thought it was just me but found other girls were also having the same problem. Guess; we just have lots of insecure guys.

Probably.
You know if any of your girlfriends in uniforms are between the ages of 28-36 you feel free to send them my way.

navygirl...Sorry that your uniform seems to intimidate men and scare them off in your area...You're right. They are obviously insecure. Sad!...I was actually guilty of over-dressing a few years back when my husband and I went to a wedding in So CA...I was sure my dress would be okay. It was an average but cute dress. (Not evening wear or glitzy.)...But what a shocker! Quite a few young people wore shorts to the wedding. (We were seated in the "young peoples' section for some reason.)...But they were fun and we all had a great time.

I have had 16 years to adjust to it and really don't give it much thought. I went to a wedding a few years back too and yep I wore shorts and a tank top. I was dressed the same way as everyone else. Only ones dressed up were the Bridal party and immediate family. |

I was taught that you are "your own brand". Meaning you need to represent yourself. I do not have make up on in my pictures on here but I do wear makeup. I use skin care products, etc. I dress casual but I try to dress it up a little. At the very least, I put on lipstick before I walk out the door.
