why care what people wear, car they drive, etc?

The "stuff" could easily be stolen, could be bought with borrowed money, etc. So all the clothes or vehicle indicate is that the wearer/driver is catering to silly ideas of propriety, status, etc. I rarely look at a man below his chin, unless I feel the need to evaluate him as an attacker or a fighting partner.I never bother to look at his clothes. I would notice if he was naked, but that's about it. While I may happen to notice a woman's body first, if her face doesn't match the bod in beauty, I lose interest real fast. If the face holds up to scrutiny, then the brain is evaluated. If her mind fails to measure up, it's on to the next one. This is assuming that I happen to be actively "looking" for a gal, that is. I know a lot of guys who can tell you what a dozen or more MEN are wearing that day, from their hairspray and cologne right down to shoes and socks. What for? Got nothing better to do? Sheesh.
