That's just nonsense. My wardrobe value has never exceeded ~GBP250. I buy new clothing probably once every 2-3 years and even then the average spend is around GBP40-60, usually when stuff has completely worn out. I've only owned one or two items of clothing that had a "label" and they were from TKMax.

As a bloke, despite cheaping out on my sartorial choices I've never had a problem with dates/sex/relationships. It's all about personality, not being a dick and maintaining some semblance of basic personal hygiene.



It's mainly about being in a social group that facilitates romantic relationships and marriage, and/or putting personal effort into dating. People with no hygiene mate a lot.
