The Demise of Ties and Real Men
Ties have become uncool, even in business settings. An unwashed, disheveled trendiness has replaced appropriate dress.
(PRWEB) May 19, 2005 -- Pharmacist, anti-aging expert and consultant Barbara
Morris has a message for men who are confused about what's necessary to get
ahead in business and personal relationships: "Shower, shave your face and put
on a clean shirt, suit, and tie."
Morris says that appearance plays a
significant role in how well men do financially and socially as they age. "A man
who carefully cultivates his appearance always appears younger and is definitely
more successful."
"Ties have become uncool, even in business settings,"
Morris says. "That’s unfortunate because ties are a symbol of power, and power
is sexy. Any woman who knows she’s a woman would prefer to see a man in a shirt
and tie than in a torn, pizza-stained T- shirt and grubby shorts that reveal
ugly, hairy legs."
"People no longer seem to know how to dress
appropriately. Casual Friday has morphed into anything goes anyplace. The
distinction between beach and office attire no longer exists. On TV, a financial
expert sported several days worth of beard growth, and wore a rumpled sport
shirt. He may have known his stuff, but he looked like he just rolled out of
bed. Would anyone take him seriously?"
"A professional look promotes
credibility, respect, and ultimately, success. Would Donald Trump be seen
without his gold or red power tie? Would The Donald grow a beard to cover up his
face that exudes power and confidence?"
Morris wonders why males think
beards are sexy. "They are not," she insists. "They are a sign of laziness, lack
of self-esteem, and a need to hide from the world. A beard prevents a man from
facing up to who he really is when he looks in the mirror every
day."
"Since men are not the tidiest of God’s creatures, beards more
likely than not are a sanctuary for yesterday’s gravy drippings or even the
remnants of last Thanksgiving’s turkey dinner. Women are supposed to feel good
about kissing such a mess, or even being close to it?"
Morris claims that
women who say they like beards are desperate and will put up with anything for
Mr. Wonderful. "How many women who love unwashed, smelly cave men have ever seen
what they really look like? It matters, because character is revealed in the
face."
The author of Put Old on Hold, Barbara Morris advises men that
"Beards do not make males men. Beards are not a sign of masculinity. They are
just an indication that the guy has some testosterone left."
"Guys who
adopt unwashed disheveled trendiness cheat themselves," Morris insists. "They
miss the best opportunities in business and relationships. Unfortunately, as in
the story of the emperor who had no clothes on, nobody seems willing to tell
them the naked truth."
