Do you dress nice and take care of yourself for others or yourself?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Both. I workout for health reasons and to get me chicks. I also get a haircut every three weeks because I hate long hair. Have a ton of cologne too because I like the scents and I feel like it’s an extended image of yourself (but I do get a lot of compliments). Each scent is different, so I wear whatever I feel like that day. Same for clothes. I hate the thought of me smelling bad, so I get scented hair products as well. I’ve been called a “pretty boy” before (as cringe as that sounds, but who the hell wants someone who stinks and doesn’t care about themselves?

I dress purely for myself. I'm a teacher and can wear anything to work that isn't political, jeans, or open-toed shoes and I still dress business professional (black pants, white button up, and sometimes a necktie). The proper clothes makes me feel like I'm at work, and not lounging around on the weekend.

I’ve decided I need to dress up a bit more and finally ditch the track paints and big baggy jumpers I’ve been wearing when working from home. My god I was even keeping my bed socks on and wearing them throughout the day. I’m getting out of that now finally and dressing up more, I was feeling terrible looking like that. I’ve made this change for myself not for others.

I pretty much dress for work or comfort most days and save dressing nice for special occasions, but I take care of myself for myself. I like the way I feel when I'm in shape and eating right.

WhatTheHeckkkk · Answer

I take care of myself, for myself. I dress casually but I will dress up nice every once in a while if I’m going on fancy-ish dates.

Desconhecida · Answer

A bit of both, really. Let's not be liars. Although there is this belief that women dress to impress other women, not their men.

TheorionMage · Answer

Having worked for a time as a private investigator as well as worked 'executive protection' (heavily armed) there are times I've done each, either deliberately BEING intimidatingly 'noticeable' or seeking functional 'invisibility' via being comfortingly 'nondescript'. Be wary of persons wearing only ONE WIRED earbud or those who studiously avoid meeting your gaze for exceeding brief eye contact. ;)

Wraith_Cemetery · Answer

I dress nice 100 percent of the time. I never leave the house in casual clothes because I don't believe in it. I do it for myself first but I also have respect for my surroundings. That is something that is absolutely lacking in today's society. People no longer respect their surroundings and therefore walk around like they just got out of bed.

mk200195 · Answer

I dress reasonably well while working, but while at home, I prefer to have loose clothes that are comfortable. Good question though we usually dress up for others is how I see because when nobody is around me at home I don't care about what I wear so from this it is clearly evident that I dress up for others

Fireguy17 · Answer

I wear clean, not fancy clothes, usually one of my 798 different fire dept shirts, or my ems pants and dark blue work shirt with the brass depending on my day.
Otherwise it is a t shirt and jeans, always clean unless I'm working in the garage, shower at least once every day, shave etc every day, hair cut is on the first Tuesday of the month.
Blue collar kind of guy.

FlutteringFeelings · Answer

I dress up because I like the feeling of self-care and as a single woman I want to make sure I always look my best in case I run into my future man. If anyone says “I only do it for me” then they’re not being honest with themselves.

I am a gladiator. A gladiator entertains the crowd. When I sever a man's head from his anus, I do not do so for myself. I do it for other people. For I am a gladiator. We do not do things for ourselves. We are slaves to the arena.

FriendlyDrugDealer · Answer

I do it for myself most of the time. I groom myself, i shave, dress good, style my hair, etc etc. it’s meant for me to like the image in the mirror. However its for me and the people who I plan to attract or the person I’m dating

spuitkaas · Answer

Both I would say, but mostly myself. If it were only for others I would have dressed differently, but if it was only for myself then slightly differently too. I do like to dress nice. I like fashion, makeup and in general looking good.

user1516 · Answer

Myself. I feel like if I go out looking like a garbage bag I’m not going to feel very confident. So if I dress clean and elegantly id feel that way about myself, clean and elegant.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

Now days? I do it for myself because I've finally gotten to the point in my life that I like myself enough to care about my appearance. I never understood the desire to want to look good before, but that's really a fun and new feeling for me.

In the past I was always motivated by other people or things outside of myself.

DarkCarousel · Answer

Mostly myself. But it does feel good when someone that you care about appreciates the way you take care of yourself.

On the job, even when working at home I am fully shaven and in a business suit. I am on zoom video chats a lot. Right now I am wearing my Georgia Tech Tee shirt with jeans and wearing my crocs.
