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?

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.
