Many men make the mistake of wearing comfortable shoes without trying to match the whole dress attire. This is completely incorrect as you will have seen many men dress in suits only to wear sneakers which sticks out like a sore thumb. If you are attempting to create a casual smart look, then stick to comfortable shoes that also looks good. A good match for this attire are Oxfords or Monk-Strap shoes that are black or dark-brown. When you wear a suit then, it has to be good quality shoes that exudes elegance and Oxford type shoes are ideal. Loafers can be worn when you are wearing casual shirts and pants and the brown types are ideal for most kind of situations. Be very careful when wearing sneakers or flip-flops as this indicates a very relaxed and couldn’t care attitude and has to be mixed in correctly with the type of event and clothing that you are wearing.

Let’s start with shoes.
This is one of the most ignored piece of attire from the male’s point of view and it can speak a thousand words about you. Women put a lot of emphasis on their style and shoes and it is one of the fashion items that can sit high on their list. You just have to go to a shoe store such as DSW or any other major shoe retailer to see that entire islands are just dedicated for women’s shoes. Naturally, this piece of attire is important for men and cannot be thought of as secondary accessory to the rest of the clothing.
When you meet someone for the first time, you may very well be focusing on their top-half ie. their face and bust and maybe not pay much attention to the rest such as their pants or shoes. However, when you are in a gathering of many people, it’s very likely that you will be scanning the entire venue full of people from head to toe. The important point to note is that your entire dress attire comes into full view and naturally the choice of clothes and shoes will matter. Depending on the type of venue that you are attending, you will dress appropriately so that you are presentable and approachable.

Four Tips on Successful Dating
Sunday, January 27th, 2013
Allow for Time
When you are going on your date, remember to allow yourself good time for traffic and other unexpected delays. Don’t arrive too early or too late, this can appear as desperate or a couldn’t care attitude from your dating partner
Four Tips on Successful Dating
Aware of your Senses
When you go on a date, you may be very shy and become tongue-tied. Remember, there is many things to talk about that will keep you calm and cool. Pay close attention to the sights and sounds of everything around you to make for light hearted conversation. This will keep you from feeling uncomfortable and get you to talk in a relaxed way.
Think about your Partner
If you have been observant as well as being inquisitive about your partner’s interest, you will no doubt find things that he/she likes or even dislikes. Take time to learn what they like to do, eat or other activities and find out common activities or events where you both will have a great time. This also wins the appeal of your partner, after all this is your aim, if you are interested in a longer-term relationship with him/her.
Make it Different
Plan ahead and think about where you will want to go for dates and what things will be fun for either of you. This will make you appear more interested and develop a genuine interest in each other with good intentions.
To date successfully, you will need to keep your wits around you. Present yourself as an interesting person and don’t fret over things that your partner may or may not like. Even the smallest things can turn out to be very fun. For example, if you like gardening or flowers, buy some bulbs and then take your date to the place where you can plant them. You will find yourself and your date talking about all kinds of topics and not necessarily about plants.
