Fashion And Style: A Critical Understanding

OK. Let’s explore this subject that is so hugely misunderstood, but highly important: Fashion and Style.

OK, here’s the deal. I have a huge background in Anthropology. My primary emphasis is nonverbal human communication. Know that 93% of human communication is nonverbal. 50% is body language and “other,” 43 is voice tone. Words are only 7%.

Fashion goes under the domain of nonverbal. It’s actually called Object Communication. Here’s a definition:

The type of clothing or even the hairstyle that you wear are often used by people, both consciously and unconsciously, especially by women, to determine your personality and value as a person.

So, there is an actual scientific explanation why women are into fashion. It helps identify if you are socially intelligent. If you are, you have a higher degree of survival, because you can move up the social ladder.

Women want a “winner,” not a “loser.” Think about the “socially retarded” people you grew up with. A lot of those guys weren’t with girlfriends. They had their Magic Cards or D&D to keep them from getting lonely. It’s sad. I can relate. I used to be those guys, and they were all fashion geeks.

So, take fashion serious please.

More later.
