Rachael Lorenz Wants to Help Men Score
Comprehensive personal stylist specializes in polishing dating skills.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 20, 2005 -- Most of those who’ve tried internet
dating and enjoyed the convenience of being able to find other singles online
have also probably experienced another less appealing aspect of the process.
Many who’ve tried on-line dating speak of finding someone who seems
great, making a date to meet in person, and then being completely frustrated by
the lack of face to face chemistry.
Enter Rachael Lorenz, a personal
stylist based in San Francisco who’s dedicated herself to improving the dating
pool in the City-by-the-Bay.
“Most often the trouble seems to be with
men who haven’t taken the time to refine their dating skills,” says Lorenz.
“Younger types, the no-life-work-addicts, have invested so much energy in their
careers that their romantic lives have not been a priority. As a result when
they finally go on a date, they don’t have a clue. Another group of men are
those that I call “neo-daters” - these are guys who’ve been married and divorced
and are just getting back into the dating scene – they’re usually over 40.
They’ve forgotten what they learned in their twenties about how to present
themselves – this makes them so self conscious that they make goof after
frustrating goof.”
Lorenz, who’s background includes a career as a model
recruiter in New York, and long relationships with some of the most noted names
in fashion retailing, has found a way to improve the sexy index for men with
less than perfect dating skills.
“I start with the wardrobe and hair,
and work through basic elements of etiquette for a total dating makeover,” says
Lorenz. “First impressions are paramount, so that’s why I like to start on
clothing and grooming”.
Lorenz finds that the most common styling errors
are those that evolve from a general lack of focus on detail.
The top
ten are:
1. Ill fitting suit/sport jackets – sleeves too long, shoulder
seams droop off the shoulder (resulting in a baggy back of the jacket or riding
up around the collar).
2. Short socks.
3. One pair of comfortable shoes
and his favorite belt worn with everything.
4. A cell phone as an accessory
clipped on belt.
5. Eyewear that mimics the shape of his face (i.e. round
face/round rimmed glasses).
6. Nose hair, back hair, moustaches, and
goatees.
7. Weekend clothes that look as if he borrowed them from a
six-year-old (i.e. ball cap, slogan T-shirt, and sneakers worn with gym
socks).
8. A windbreaker or anorak jacket worn with anything dressy.
9.
Brown belt/black shoes or vice versa.
10. A sport watch with a suit.
“Once you’re aware of these issues, it’s relatively easy to work around
them,” says Lorenz. “It’s also helpful to get an objective opinion from a
stylist. Many men pick out clothing for the wrong reasons. They’ll choose a type
of shirt because it’s what their father always wore, never mind that it might be
wildly out of style and ill fitting”.
Rachael Lorenz has been a
superstar in the fashion consulting, merchandising, and sales world for more
than 18 years. During her career she’s worked with such noted organizations as
Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, and Anne Klein. She worked as a
model recruiter for Elite Model Management in New York. Her company is based in
