Handsome man late 30s or early 40s, wears Lululemon M-F, employed or trust fund?

[Anonymous]

I just do not understand the gay comments. Which world are you fuddy-duddies living in? Do you not see how straight man's fashion is eveolving around you? This is a trendy outfit for 20 and 30 year olds in high-tech and finance. Even uber-conservative finance is moving away from suits to more trendy wear in the younger set.

He’s always wearing Lululemon casual clothing and spotless running shoes or casual sneakers. Is there some high-paying job I’m not aware of that allows this dress code? Or maybe inheritance or SAHD.

Is this in Vienna? Sounds like a dad I know.

What does he do?

It is pretty funny.

By and large, it is true that women care a lot more about $ than looks.

Well I'm not saying that money doesn't matter but it's much preferable for a man to have both, such as the guy described in the OP. Fancy car and education, expensive clothes, good looking, fit, must have some type of creative, flexible job.

Or like 80% of this thread is saying he's a gay gigolo living with his boyfriend. Stop being obtuse.

Just proves that 80% of this thread has no clue!! Now I understand why DC is so behind in fashion.

There are so many people with flexible schedules, working from home or early semi-retired in our neighborhood. That guy would not stand out at all.

I’m sure people don’t think I work because I’m out in workout clothes on breaks or at Whole Foods in workout gear.

No one is questioning whether or not you work because you're wearing atheleisure - you're a woman. Men however, different standard.

The standards are evolving for men too. Do you see how many regular out and about men are wearing ankle jeans and pants?

Well, sure. But in the real world, choices often are made. And money almost always wins out. Just the facts.

Yes. Whether you like it or not. Look at the wives of wealthy, successful men.....

It's fine to point out the outliers but look at the trim, fit, wives of Bethesda and McLean and North Arlington and Chevy Chase and then look at who they're married to. The husband's looks will be irrelevant. His job is very relevant. Even if the wife is successful in her own right the husband will be, too.

There's no denying and it's backed up by huge amounts of research that women are attracted to things like success and its manifestation via money and wealth. The alpha dog. Looks are further down the totem pole. Some self-righteous person will surely come along and protest all she wants but it doesn't change anything.

No one is denying this. What they were saying is that no one is genuinely sexually attracted to these guys. When they sleep with them, they're inevitably closing their eyes and imagining someone else.

You missed the entire point with your rant about wealth.

No, you completely missed the point. Wealth is a sexual aphrodisiac too. As is success. You can be very sexually attracted to alpha dogs who have ugly faces.

I'm in my late 30s and conscious of fashion. and have spent a lot of time around successful, professional gay men as well as straight men. Please remember that what young 20-something men will wear is not the same as what men in their late 30s / early 40s will wear.

We have no evidence that the man in question is gay but men in their late 30s/40s who are fashion conscious in this particular way are probably more likely to be gay, although it certainly doesn't mean he is.

This man is late 30s or early 40s, big difference. I see plenty of young men dressed like that, even then it is UA, not Lululemon.

Remember the term “metrosexual”? There are plenty of wealthy “metrosexual” guys in their 30-40s in this area. My DH likes to get a manicure more often than me. He shops at fancy stores and likes nice clothes. And he is definitely not gay. We know lots of guys like this.

What?!? I just bought DH a pair of Lululemon ABC pants after reading a review of them in the NYT Wirecutter newsletter. He's 50 and a corporate lawyer with a "dad bod."

[Anonymous]

Lululemon?!? Chain store mall wear, ok for workout wear like Nike and UA. May as well be jcrew. If he was a true metrosexual, he would be wearing Supreme, Bape, Off White, Gucci,....

Awesome. My DH and even my 20 year old would tell me that they are not gay. And I am from Europe, I am all for fashion. Different strokes for different folks. People will think your DH is gay in the good old USA.

^NOT lulu. LMAO.
