This episode breaks down the reasons why men assume they should dress in a way that attracts women, why that’s wrong, and the differences between men’s goals and women’s goals in how we dress. It discusses:

• Why men choose to dress better in an attempt at becoming more attractive
• How men are visual creatures and appreciate clothing that plays to this
• How women are attracted to men of high status and appreciate clothing that plays to this
• How status is a relative thing that is determined within each group
• How men confer status on other men and women reinforce existing status
• How women help men dress in ways that are more appropriate for other women instead of men
