>>10. Always wear a belt
I wouldn't think of walking out of my house without one because my pants would fall to the ground and I'd have to flash everyone -- then I'd get tossed in jail for indecent exposure.
>>9. White socks are only worn during athletic activities
I always wear white socks because nylon socks cut into my ankles
>>8. Make sure nails are trimmed and clean
Yup -- I'm sometimes a little lax about the length and my nails split
>>7. No facial hair
None here -- but I thought women went for men with beards or unshaven. Apparently not.
>>6. Pants - no pleats or tapered legs
No problems there either.
>>5. If it has a hole, tear or discoloration throw it out
Young men (and their parents) pay good money at Wal-Mart for dirty pants with rips in them. They're called designer jeans
>>4. Running shoes are for the gym ONLY
I wear them 24/7 (except when in bed asleep of course)
>>3. Do NOT wear free or company t-shirts
I don't.
>>2. Do NOT tuck in your shirt (unless at a formal event or when layering)
Only tuck in button-down shirts. Otherwise leave them outside the belt. This has the additional advantage of hiding the buldging stomach.
>>1. Never wear socks with sandals
Never wear sandals.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
>10. Always wear a belt

Hmm, always wear a belt but don't tuck in your shirt? Wouldn't that hide the belt for most shirts and negate rule #10?
>9. White socks are only worn during athletic activities
Unless you wear white sneakers instead of dress shoes. That's okay, and it's typical among the geeks where I work.
>8. Make sure nails are trimmed and clean
Doesn't have to be a manicure, but not too long, not to short, and for God's sake, keep them clean.
>7. No facial hair
If you look good, you look really good. If you don't look good, it's a disaster. My advice is to try it out and ask people with good taste how you look. What's worse than a guy with bad facial hair? A guy with good facial hair that stays clean-shaven.
>2. Do NOT tuck in your shirt (unless at a formal event or when layering)
I think a tucked in t-shirt (with a belt!) looks good if the t-shirt isn't too loose and the gut is minimal.

I disagree with #3, free T shirts are great 
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
All generalizations are wrong. Even this one.

I ALWAYS tuck in my shirt, but then I almost always wear dress shirts 
I sometimes wear company T-shirts, but only ones with subdued colours and logos.
I've had a moustache for the last 20 years, I'm not going to stop now.
My fingernails will get dirty within minutes of me cleaning them even when I do nothing, and no matter how short I clip them (not too short, I need those nails to use the touchscreen on my phone).
What athletic activity?
I don't wear dress shoes, nor do I wear running shoes. So I should not wear white socks nor any other colour (and often comply ).
Personally I don't care for such things. I'm usually overdressed compared to the people around me, which should be enough.

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
