Does a polished, formal style attract older men over guys my age?

Hey everyone, just wanted to get some thoughts on something I’ve been noticing lately.

My everyday style tends to be pretty polished, formal, and put-together. Because of that, I've realized I rarely get approached by guys my own age anymore. Instead, almost all the attention I get comes from guys who are older and more advanced/stable in their careers.

It made me wonder if the way a woman dresses directly affects the type of men who feel comfortable coming up to her. Do you think a more formal or polished look intimidates younger guys, or does it just naturally attract men who are a bit further along in life?

Let me know what you think, I'm super curious if anyone else has noticed this!

I view clothes as implicit tribal signs, but I also believe we can belong or be perceived as members of several tribes at once.

When I was 18, a 18yo girl dressing formally was an extremely rare sight, so rare that I would implicitly think she's not a member of my "clan". As a result, I would probably not try to interact as I'd believe she's quite an alien lol

Guys your age don't have a clue what "style" is in the first place, Sophia. What do you think they want, or are attracted to, in the first place? :)
