Dress like a real man

My man took me out to dinner.  It wasn't a fancy joint, a local watering hole with a contingent of locals scattered about.  I dressed in a pretty skirt and top and did my make-up and hair wanting him to be proud I was on his arm.  He wore a white t-shirt and a big ole' blog of red paint on the front of it, a pair of ripped jeans and slip on sandals (no socks).

I've dated some fancy men, doctors, pr guys and engineers.  They had very nice wardrobes and dressed their parts and I dressed mine.  I find it interesting the guy I've picked to be serious about could care a flying F@#k what he wears.  He likes how I dress, he says he's attracted to extraordinary women and quite honestly the way I dress is out of the ordinary for my geographic region.  I stand out because I like fashion and dress with a hint of Jackie-O modern style.  My facial features and angles make me look classy even in a pair of yoga pants and I play on them with clothes to fit the look.

So why do I love a man who looks like he fell out of bed?

I think it's his manliness.  He's not metrosexual, he really could care less about hair products, shoes or brand name jeans. He has a great body, broad shoulders and even he admits a beautiful head, so really no matter what he puts on he wears it well.  Add to that the walk of a man who's comfortable in his own skin and you have a guy who exudes manliness.  I also like the fact that he's not trying to figure out what he needs to wear to be with me, maybe that's the aloofness thing Roissy talks about?

He recently shaved his head quite close,  I think he looks like a navy seal and I told him that.  While out to dinner I teased him saying the red paint spot was from a bullet hole and he said his navy seal talent allowed him to seal it shut with the press of a well placed digit.  He's hot and I know it.  Yum.
