Why do women like men in suits so much

[ni****]

I’ve noticed something that’s been bothering me, and I’m curious if others have thoughts or similar experiences.

I find suits genuinely uncomfortable to wear, and when I’m in one I feel awkward and not really like myself. It feels ***d and inauthentic. That said, in past relationships, my female partners have reacted very positively when I’ve worn suits. They seemed genuinely attracted to that version of me and encouraged it, even though internally I felt disconnected from it.

This leaves me conflicted. On one hand, I want to show up authentically as myself. On the other, there’s clear positive feedback when I dress in a way that doesn’t feel natural to me.

So I’m wondering: why does this have such an effect? Do women generally prefer men in suits, or is this more about confidence, symbolism, or something else entirely? And how do you balance external attraction with internal authenticity?

What are the traits of a masculinity. Go back in time to the 1920’s, 1960’s… 70’s started to slip. Our ***s have a base code, Firmware that ensures survival. Same thing. Providers. Protectors. Smart. Strong. Independent. Suited for them, looking. To have and nurture babies.

A man in a suit looks sharper and on top they look like they got *** don’t down ya self

Each their own, but to some, you look put together, responsible, presentable. Plus you might go places where they have to dress up, and they like that.. you can add more to it if you want.

So, a woman being in 4" heels and a dress that barely covers her ass is okay, but having to put a suit on is too much???

Women wear 3X as much as a man and are constantly uncomfortable. But, you having to tie a tie and button 6 buttons is too much.

Or a woman who likes a man who treats them like sht

Why would you care about that? Can't you afford a decent suit

I feel like youre phrasing it as if we ask them to do it.
I dont ask mines to do it, though if they wanted to we can. And x3 as much is a bit excessive. The only real difference is make-up, you can draw a 1:1 on everything else.

Suits usually have things like shoulderpads. That does have effect you look like you have wider shoulders for example.

A man in a suit makes me feel like he is intelligent and must have gone to college. He makes me feel like i dont have to be his mom i can maybe actually be the baby for once . Or like his priorities are in check.

Okay, so, let's count a bra. Which naturally restricts the lady as just 1 times as uncomfortable. Add in a thong, because no woman wants a panty line. That is a string of fabric up her butt. Heaven forbid is goes into the fun spot. Let's add that As 1x more uncomfortable. Heels, makeup, and generally being on display, but yeah 3X is an ungodly number

I am one of those women who like to see love to see in fact, men and suits. One reason that I like is that it’s just so rare unless you’re in the business community and honestly sometimes when I’m there I get so transfixed by all the men and suits Otherwise you rarely see men in them and I guess what I like is that to me suits portray a man that cares enough about himself to take care of himself suits are clean suits like you almost have to look together in like fitted. Suits convey a different type of power and it makes me want to conquer that power and sometimes it is the type of suit that you’re wearing you can definitely tail a cheap suit versus a nicely well made suit. As a dominant woman, it is almost certain condition that you will be in a suit at least 30% of the time when we go out to munches and such, I would require it if it’s something that a man can’t do that’s OK you just wouldn’t be my submissive.

men are attractive when they dress up. For myself,i think it makes a men seem more dominant,or assertive,maybe a little mysterious,and gentlemanly, suits just make a girls mind spark with curiosity and intruige sometimes.

Girl yass

It’s like what lingerie is for men. It is visually appealing

Get a nice suit from a good suit shop tailored to you specifically. It won’t feel uncomfortable. When a suit is tailored custom to you it fits perfectly and you’ll look sharper.
As someone who used to work construction and had little opportunity to wear a suit I jumped at the occasion to do so because it’s a chance for you to look real good. Get a few suits in different colours and styles. Make sure your shirt is tailored nice too.

Ok.. Everyone seems to be zeroing in the suit half of OP's post.
I'd like to address showing up Authenticly.
Sometimes, we do things for others, sometimes we do things for ourselves
I'd prefer a person be as true to themselves, and that includes comfortable in their choices of dress, day to day around Me.
If certain clothing makes you cringe, and it wasn't directly requested for say an isolated or occasionally recurring event, I say it's entirely OK to not wear said clothing.
If, however, you adamantly refuse a gentle request within a relationship and offer no alternatives, or concessions anywhere else in the relationship, that's problematic.

Lots of folks have asked Me to wear ______ simply because it turns them on - not ME wearing such n such, the idea and visual of the items. That straight up sucks.
I don't do that.
I'm also not so stubborn, rigid, immature that I don't discuss and come up with compromises and see if something else will satisfy both parties.

If it's a hard boundary for You, then it is and there isn't anything wrong with that.
If you don something that others really enjoy seeing you wear, cool. Doesn't mean you have to, or should, or need to, regardless how fly you may seem to others wearing it!!!

As for why people love suits: harkens to the days of Knights who showed up defending the honour of King and damsel alike. That stuff is awesome - when it's pure of heart and mind and NOT done to impress for selfish gain (rarity today.)

Personally, I'd much rather *you* show up in your idea and or our mutually agreed upon idea of Your Best fancy attire, and have you rock it with confidence stemming from comfortability, rather than looking extra but having to diminish oneself the entire time you're wearing an awkward outfit.

**A note about "comfortable": This absolutely does Not mean sweats or whatever, wherein little or no effort was exerted type of 'comfortable.' No, No, No. Just not compromising SELF for fashion, or other people, or society, or showing up conflicted and fretting etc due to clothing.

I can't comment on why women like men in suits, obviously, but, just as obviously, it would appear to be true.

I'm not, not have I ever been, a natural suit wearer. I felt constrained.

But I've grown to enjoy suits. Initially it was a kind of a mask against any social anxiety I had, perhaps the suits still are a disguise.

But a good, well fitted, suit can be a marvelous thing. I now like a good collared waistcoated three piece suit in tweed.

Why do men like dresses and heals? Both same reasons, because you look sharper, it gives the feeling of elegance, makes the other person feel special you dressed up for them 😊

lol same question reversed. There you go.
