It means that getting digits is a game of numbers and confidence where fashion doesn't necessarily set the odds in your favor.
Also, being at ease is attractive, and looking too perfect can be off-putting to potential mates. Many folks are insecure or have preconceived notions of maleness being grounded in rough edges and a careless approach to personal style.

Its not just that, I do a whole routine of stuff, I arrive at work 10 minutes early and mark where the tires of my car are in the parking spot with chalk then stand outside with my overcoat draped over my arm for that 10 minutes, then I go inside and wipe down my desk with a hand towel, I work for three hours then go to the toilet for an hour, I never take a lunch break but every Friday I bring a croissant from the bakery across the road and sit it on the corner of my desk for the entire day wiping away the crumbs as they fall then at the end of the day I discard of it in the waste paper basket of the next cubicle and if the basket is in the incorrect position I place the croissant on the floor where it should be.

Very true. The trueness resounds in this post. In my experience, I've had much reciprocity in dating when I've dressed like shit. I don't think girls like it when you look as good as them.

Think:
>male = brute
>female = refined
>male = ugly
>female = pretty

I'm not sure about you personally, but I can speculate that:

You aren't truly comfortable in your appearance when you put effort into it. You are probably mildly self conscious and are somehow limiting yourself because of it.

When you don't even care and just wear whatever, you've already reduced your expectations of getting attention to nothing, and aren't limiting yourself because you don't expect to gain anything.

Girls might be able to sense this, (most likely not), the issue is probably more rooted in your own mindset when you choose one of these two personal appareances.

iktfb, every morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now.

After I remove the ice pack, I use a Deep Pore Cleanser Lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub.

Then I apply an herb mint facial mask which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out, and makes you look older.

Then moisturiser, then an anti-ageing eye balm, followed by a final moisturising protective lotion.

where do you live OP? I've noticed the standard is miles apart depending on region, state, and even neighborhood.

I'm living in the midwest and chicks can only be impressed so far before they either get intimidated or assume fag when I'm not in the downtown area of my capitol.

I have noticed you can get away with wearing super nice but simple outfits. If you try to do anything more outside the box for casual wear then it's dries them up.
