Do clothes make the man?

No, But the sure do make me notice him.

Clothes do not make the man, but most men look better when clothed.

Well not really, but to a certain extent Yes. I mean, you shouldn't look like a total slob.

Dianne, 16

Not at all.

Thought one: That man had to choose those clothes. Thought two: It takes a hell of a lot more than clothes to put together a personality or even to express any given aspect of a personality

Not really, but there are situations, mostly involving meeting new people, where clothes affect one's perception of the man or woman.

NO!

Absolutely not. Though it may make the first impression...it certainly doesnt make the man.

I think people judge you by how you look. If you are attractively groomed and lookin' good, It sure goes a long way on wanting to get to know you. So yes clothes do make the man.

Heavens no.

Well, I think they do. You can literally take a dirty, grungy old homeless man and puthim in a tux and he is really to go to the opera. And you put that same guy in ratted old yucky clothes,he won't make it to the curb.   Clothes tell alot about a person. They let others know what kinda of  job you work for and what kind of personality you have. They are as seen and relied upon as a person's face.

No. I don't think that clothes make the man. I think that the heart and soul make the man. The insides. not the outsides.

I think that a good dress sense can make a man more physically attractive, as does a flattering, stylish haircut. But, with the exception of transvestites, I don't think a man's personality should change depending on what he's wearing.

nope...but it helps!! i notice clothes and looks first, but personality is what really "makes the man"...if i notice him and he's hot, but has a bad personality, it won't work... actually, conversation skills are #1 in what makes the man!!!!

Anjel, 20

I think its attitude and self confidence that "make the man" more than clothes, although clothes can provide a valuable first impression.

Sure-remember Twain said that "naked men have very little influence on society." ;) Seriously though, I don't think clothes have very much to do with who a person is.

Angela, 16

No, but the lack of proper clothes can hurt a man.

Reba, 51

well they certanly can effect the man

Jaden, 21

Clothes don't make the man, but first appearances are very important.

Laura, 36

Uhm, NO.
