a) Sorry for the bad pic: http://www.unrefinery.com/article/buyers-guide-our-favourite-polo-shirts b) I like older cricket style. Nowadays gear is more focused on practicality than style (which is fine by me), but back in the day people dressed really nicely for sports. That's why you call it a sports coat, in fact. Cricket sweaters are really nice, you should get one.

Sweaters or long-sleeve tees? Land's End Canvas has the former for 20$. Make sure you check the size charts or else they might not fit right; people usually recommend sizing down. http://canvas.landsend.com/pp/FineGaugeVneckSweater~203157_-1.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::TVY&CM_MERCH=IDX_Men-_-Tops-_-Sweaters&origin=index

Not a fan of graphic polos. White or khaki would probably be better with that shirt but it depends on your shoes. Big fan of the Kent Wang polo here, and it's the least expensive of the four. 65$ is not bad at all for mother-of-pearl buttons and a spread collar on a polo.

Sam, you are /mu/. iqtu - Embarassing Triangle Glitchy chiptune IDM, not the Anamanaguchi danceable feel-good kind of chiptune, this is downtempo with tons of chromaticism; the harmonies work but they're very unpredictable. Free on bandcamp.

Reveal Confessions, Secrets & Regrets...
Looking someone in the right eye shows you think of them as an equal; looking between their eyes shows you think you are better than them (or not at their eyes, but not downcast); looking between eyes and lips shows romantic interest. Keeping your eyes downcast shows weakness or respect or humility, depending on the situation. Not everybody will notice. Few will, in fact. But it's a useful tool for building relationships. The details are important. I have a really hard time looking people in the eye because I'm very slightly cross-eyed.

I don't mind you too much, you sound like you're autistic or something, but not annoying. I don't mean that in a bad way, you're just not very good with people and you're very pragmatic/mathematical.

That's like saying everyone in TZDF is paranoid. It's not fear, some people like weapons and stuff. Is that even still going on?

You're not really in the right place for skate shoes. That being said, I'm sure Supra or Osiris make a murdered out hi-top. I'm on Zumiez' website and I've seen 4 already, and I'm only on the third page.

ThePerfectSett: how the [bleep] should we know? Give us some context... Sam: You're not going to hurt either one of them that much; I don't think it's been long enough for you to have that kind of impact. Just go for the one you like most (or neither, if theyMre not all that interesting).

Thrift stores. Otherwise you'd be hard-pressed to find quality preppy/trad vests without a suit

David DeAngelo - 94 plays I laughed so much. Not that there's anything really wrong with that, actually. Did you buy the CD?

I once left a Mario Pinball cartridge out in the rain and I was really scared I would get shocked when I turned on my GBA, but I really wanted to play. I was so glad when I didn't die.

How about this sprezzaturrific mewelry? I went to Rooney in Montreal today, and I learned two things. a) Girls in the Old port are hot as [bleep]. b) If you've ever been to Urban Outfitters and found selvedge denim with an "Unbranded Jeans" tag and thought they were [cabbage] quality, think again. The truth is Naked & Famous wanted to cut down prices while keeping the quality on par with other N&F denim. To do this, they produce the jeans in China with the same denim used for their main brand and in the same factories used by APC (which turns out to be severely overpriced), and sell massive amounts of jeans to UO (out of 3100 pairs, 3000 will go to UO and 100 will be up for grabs for stores like Rooney and Four Horsemen). This allows them to cut down costs by a lot, even adding features unavailable in N&F denim like hidden rivets on the back pockets. The fits are similar (skinny, tapered and slim) though the rise on the tapered fit is higher than the rise on the WeirdGuys. The price, however, is 45$ lower! That's 80$, for a pair of very solid denim. Not as good as the high-end brands, of course, but definitely a rival for entry-level raw denim. I'm going back tomorrow to buy the last pair in my size.

Disagree, I've been where he is before. When a girl you're not particularly interested in basically presents herself on a silver platter to you, it's easy to go along with it thinking it might lead somewhere. Problem is there will be no tension to keep the dude attracted.

Change collar types (get button-downs as well as points and spreads/cutaways); wear different pant colors (white, navy, brown are easy-mode; try cords, moleskin, seersucker); experiment with shirt patterns and fabrics; get different belt colors and types (surcingle, d-ring, many different leathers, suede, hoofpick); wear colored socks (I stick to neutrals or subdued colors); experiment with fit (especially consider cropped pants, or pants with little or no break), consider a tie (less than 3 inches at the widest point when worn with a shirt; 3" if with a jacket); get different shoes (sneakers, mocassins, penny/tassel loafers, derby/oxford cut, monks and double monks, wingtips/plain tips, boots...).

I think you're missing a piece of the puzzle. She's got a life too, maybe something happened. Maybe her hamster's dead.

Yes. She's around you all the time anyway as far as I can tell. Maybe she's just feeling really lazy.
