Advice For A Cheap Man Wanting To Complement Girlfriend - Seek Value & Dress For Yourself
Hi!
I'm Antonio Centeno, the founder of Real Men Real Style.
Today, I'm going to helping a cheap guy dress better for his girlfriend, and those are his
own words, so I'm going to actually elaborate on all that in a second.
If you haven't already, please subscribe to my YouTube channel.
You know why I ask you to do this, so that these videos will come right to you.
In addition, if you would please like the video.
And if you don't like it, well, I prefer you not do anything, but if you dislike it, please
let me know in the comments how I can do it better.
But really, guys, the reason I ask you to do this is so that more men find these videos.
And if you want more information about men's style, I've got two links down below, one
for my free e-book, 47 pages.
If you haven't grabbed it, please grab it.
You'll also be on my email list.
And if you want more, I've got a 600-page premium e-book.
It supports my business here in Wisconsin.
It's got images, 14-hour audio.
People write me all the time telling me they love it.
This is the question that came in and it's why I use the terminology because basically,
this gentleman says, "Hi, Antonio!
I'm 20.
I've been dressing most of my life like a regular guy wearing t-shirts and jeans, plus
I'm very cheap.
I don't believe in spending a lot of money even for higher quality items.
I'm content with the cheaper quality for the price, but I've noticed that when I go out
with my girlfriend, I don't feel like I complement her in any way.
She's very stylish and she stands out, but I stand out in a bad way.
Really, she looks much higher class than me.
I'm just noticing this more and more the more I watch your videos, so what can I do?
How can I start to dress better and how can I look better for my girlfriend?"
All right.
Well, there are two things I'm going to address in this video because I've put out tons of
other videos about how to dress better, but I really want to hammer, guys, if you're looking
to save money, don't think of yourself as cheap.
Cheap equals bad.
I don't think that if you're cheap, that means that you're buying everything based off of
price.
Instead, think of yourself as shopping for value and there's a big difference.
The man who shops for value is much smarter than the cheap guy because if you see two
similar items and one is, let's say, 10% more expensive but it's going to last you five
times longer, you would honestly I think be a fool to purchase the cheaper item because
initially, you're going to feel better perhaps about the purchase, but as soon as it wears
out or it breaks on you or it falls apart, you're going to have to go buy something else
and replace it.
That's why I always harp on quality over quantity.
When I think cheap, I think somebody that just focuses on price.
Instead, think, "I'm always looking for value."
And when you're looking for value, sometimes you will actually spend sometimes twice as
much more, but if you spend twice as much more, and again, you get ten times the wear
out of those shoes or every time you wear them, you feel like a million bucks, and they
help you land a job that you never would've gotten otherwise, which I know it's hard to
believe, but your clothing, it has a huge effect on you.
This applies to other things as well whether it'd be a laptop computer, whether it'd be
the automobile that you choose.
Sometimes paying a little bit more and getting a lot better quality is worth it.
So you don't have to be a big spender, but instead, seek value.
I've got a little bit of terminology there and to me, the definition means I would always
rather be value-conscious than think of myself as cheap.
Okay, number two, dress for yourself.
It sounds like you're definitely in a good relationship.
You're really wanting to improve the way you look for the woman in your life, but this
isn't your wife and it's not someone that you've made a commitment to the entire world
that you're going to be spending the rest of your life with this person.
You know how you see those people that have animals and they dress them up and they kind
of look like them?
Don't let that be you.
You are a man.
Dress like a man.
Dress for yourself.
Dress for representing your family.
And really, it's about pride and putting your best foot forward.
Women are doing to appreciate this, and the ones that don't, I don't know if you really
want to be with them.
Again, guys, this is about you.
I mean, if you haven't figured out yet these style videos, actually very little about I
think clothing, more about improving your self.
I always use the diamond analogy.
Men are formed under heat and pressure, and we're not going to see that though that they're
diamonds, but similar to diamonds.
We're not going to see that though unless they're taken out and they're polished, and
that's all the clothing is.
So I really want you to think about why you're dressing sharp and then dress sharp for yourself.
Don't worry so much about complementing your girlfriend.
I know I didn’t answer this question directly, but I feel like I've answered about the styling
stuff and a couple hundred other videos.
I really wanted to hit on this though because I feel that there were some important points
there.
Again, don't be cheap.
Seek value and as a man, dress for yourself.
Okay guys, if you've got any more style questions, go ahead and send it to me over at mensstyleqa.com.
We'll try to answer them there.
And if it's a really good question, we'll go ahead and make a video out of it.
I'll see you guys in the next video.
Bye-bye.
