Kindness is king! Also, women love mature men. When a man matures he stops seeking acceptance by women. Don’t be needy. Be independent, self assured, and kind.
Certainly got me thinking about hobbies that I actually do than simply being interested in. You may have helped me realise that to have hobbies I need to go out and do them, rather than just simply being interested in them.
Older men = 1. more life experience, 2. greater self awareness, 3. higher focus on priorities, 4. (and maybe the most important) our give-a-damn about relationships is geared so that a romantic/sexual relationship isn't the most important thing in outlives.
Hey John I’ve been out of pocket for a while. Working out and dressing nicely goes a long way. I was at the mall today and wore nice casual outfit. The amount of attention I got was a big difference compared to the guys wearing shorts and flip flops.
Great video, as always. Can you please do a video (or series) on fashion styling for different body types? I'm a big guy with shorter legs, (I've lost 60lbs since NY 2023) bit form fitting polos don't work for me yet. The belly roll is the last thing to go in weight loss. Help is appreciated. Many thanks from Australia 🇦🇺
Hey John! I just wanted to say that I really love watching your videos as your style of presenting men's fashion appeals to me more than the other channels on YT. I am a 65 year old guy who likes dressing up since I was a young man. My dad taught me everything I needed to know as far as dressing up from head to toe. He taught me good grooming and dressing up, from shining my shoes, to pressing my shirts and pants (other than slacks), hair grooming, proper etiquette and most especially, how to treat and attract a woman! I am Filipino and grew up in the Philippines but have spent the last 35 years here in the US. I was wondering when you're doing your next outfit review so I can send a couple of pics so you can critique my outfit and overall look. Again, you are doing a very fantastic job especially for men like me, so I can carefully curate the kind of clothes that look best on me, especially at my age. More power to you, sir!
I spent the day at a busy co-working office yesterday and was amazed by how many men I saw in baggy shorts, flip flops and message tees whereas the women without exception were in linen, dresses or otherwise put together "polished casual" outfits. The bar is so low out there to stand out with just a bit of effort.
Always love what you have to say 🤗when I’ve learn to dance (jive:swing) more girls, want to hang out 😉only time, I get nervous 😳when girls are in their 20’s! I’m 68 😵only when I’m dancing w/ them! I’m OK 😊😬
When it comes to how you dress, there is a time and place for everything. If you are going to a work function, social gathering, and out to eat at a nice restaurant you should dress up some. But if you're running to grab a pizza, grab some stuff from the local store, or a number of other mundane tasks I see nothing wrong with throwing on a t-shirt. When it comes to listening to her go on and on just let her vent. Sometimes a person simply needs get something off their chest. Don't try to fix the problem, just listen, or at least become very good at faking it. When it comes to how you treat other people just remember that the person in the restaurant you're treating like crap is back there with your food. Think about that the next time you treat one of them like crap.
Any affordable brands for Derbies? AE is expensive right now. I can definitely understand them being a better choice for Chinos and Jeans since they are considered more casual although I don't think there is anything wrong with Cap Toes as long as you wear them with slacks. Mine also feature a tiny amount of broguing so they aren't limited to just formal. I plan on returning to the thrift store but I've always been a bit cautious about 2nd hand shoes just like avoiding underwear from there for reasons that are obvious..lol. Nice job on the content as always. You're doing a good thing for all the older gentleman. If my grandpa and uncle watched TH-cam I would tell them about you even though they actually do dress decently. In all honesty I lurk around the channel but no worries when I turn 40 I'll officially subscribe:)
In the Spring, I dated a woman who is 32, I'm 48. I was surprised how well it worked, but it got a little weird at times when I would bring up things from the 80's to mid-90's, and she would joke, "I wasn't born yet!" I eventually broke it off. I can't put my finger on what it was exactly, but my feelings were not progressing. It certainly gave me hope that I don't need to pursue women in their 40's/divorced/parent of kids. I can actually be appealing to younger, single women if I don't overthink it.
does it really matter WHEN something happened? a funny story is funny because of WHAT happened, not when it happened. every time you reference something by date, you reinforce your age difference. so dont do it. that will keep you and her both focused in the present and future, which is what truly matters.
@@gottafly30 I did not reference when it happened. She just knew based on what we were talking about. It was a story about something that happened in pop culture, not about me.
It's the difference between being raised with a phone in your hand and not. Every generation prior to this actually socialized. That's the key to growth. My advice to Gen Z is to never be on your phone. Only use it for phone calls only. No texts. Wait for something to be worthy of a conversation instead. And your home should be for sleeping only, loll. Be out in the world !!
Well I have no debt make an average retiring money and no baggage and I am in better condition than I was 20 years ago because now I have time for exercise !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t date coworkers. That being said, as an Airline Pilot. Women I meet believe the myth that pilots and flight attendants are getting together. Makes dating hard.
Regarding Collars & Co., how good are the fit of their shirts & trousers? Example: if I normally wear a medium polo/ shirt or trousers with a 32/ 33" waist, can I expect their items to fit without having to go to the tailor?
Collars & Co does have a ni e collar/ shirt. However, they have multiple colors 67+ which 60 are useless . They rarely have ( I’ve never seen it) , brown, tan, sage green ( solid colors enough with the polka dots, stripes stars Etc). They showed a nice grey ( SOLID praise the lord) shirt which was unavailable in every size but small. I responded to being notified when available in my size . Weeks went by , I was notified, the same one small size ( no medium or any other size) was only available…. Why notify me? This happened three additional times. I attempted to contact them…. fell on deaf ears. They DO NOT have their act together. Advice : do what you say! Request: please get normal mainstream colors that will not look like you are from the 1970s.
I tried Collars & Co and was disappointed when I found they were 100% polyester. Natural materials like line, cotton, cashmere and wool are the only acceptable fabrics for a stylish gentleman.
Women want wealthy tall generous athletic men no matter the age. Look at the older guys the Golden Bachelor chose to try to land the older Golden bachelorette! All guys who are great communicators, loving, respectful, kind & considerate, educated, good dressers, who bathe, who are short, out of shape and middle class are overlooked.

Emotional intelligence and maturity is a must for everyone. Dealing with immature people is a pain in the a**.
Absolutely!
Agreed. I’ve been teaching my daughters about EI for years even when they get majorly and emotionally upset.
@@davidjsouth231 Come on man spell it out. You know we don't come from that.

I agree with the kindness, we could all exercise a little more of that these days.
Absolutely agree!

Spot on. Good reminders. Been away from my hobbies for a bit-car repairs, yay. Caught up enough to get back into them,
Hey John, another nice video loaded with tips to behave and look smart intelligently.
Cheers!

Well done Sean! I know what you mean by referencing pop culture to someone younger. :)
Money.
I think women find older men more interesting. Dos Equis realized this and casted Jonathan Goldsmith in there The Most Interesting Man in the World.
Absolutely!
I'll add fitness fitness fitness, hygiene , grooming stay current know what happening in society today (don't need to support it) knowledge of it
Women aren't as turned on by guys that are obsessed with gym/martial arts as you might think? Same with hunting and muscle cars and Harley's.

I have a couple of their shirts. I’m a little larger, 42/44 chest with a 17” neck, 36 waist. The extra large fits really well.
I’m a medium, and their medium sizes fit great.
Awesome as always John. Love that platinum rule reminder.👍🏼
Thanks brother!!
who do you call at 2 am to help you bury the body?? I have acquaintances but very few people who will bring a shovel and im ok with that!

@@steved6269 Pretty much a general statement. I am just glad some women aren't all that particular! 😜
@@TheNewMexicoMan I get your general points tho 😉. And, yes, thankfully some women don't have such unrealistic standards.
