I certainly agree with the fact that men in Vancouver, and elsewhere, are generally poorly dressed. It doesn't have to take a lot of money to be well dressed and it will help your looks immensely (and can be just as comfortable). Buy things that fit and you'll automatically look better than most men in the room. I think many men find that paying attention to how you look/what you wear is "gay", while women find it attractive. This scene from the greatest television show ever made comes to mind:
I'm in my mid-20's and have finally started dressing like a grown ass man. Now, I haven't been single in years, so I guess maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but oh well.
