Okay, let’s address these points one by one. First of all, never take men’s fashion advice from a woman. I know that us men should try to do whatever we can to get laid and that on surface this may include listening to the fashion advice of women, but that’s how you end up wearing pirate shirts like that Seinfeld episode. Men should take fashion advice from well-dressed men, not women. Do you take fashion advice from straight men? Probably not. Do you ask men what kind of dress you should wear on a night out with a new man? No. Anyways back to your points.
1.Timeless does not equal old and dated. Timeless looks have the advantage of being unencumbered by the slavish current trends and as a result, a man with a timeless look radiates confidence, self-assuredness and independence.
2.You’re right: there is nothing wrong with a shoulder-strap worn crossbody…if you’re Indiana Jones
3.Again, you’re right: T-Man is a stupid term and I regret using it. But do not let that distract from the fact that a nice briefcase is never an old man look, unless used in a casual situation where a backpack or a laptop case w/o shoulder-strap is more appropriate
4.It is no secret that I am attracted to men, like Count Rockula. I want men to think that there is something entirely gay about wearing a carryall so that only gay men use them and I can avoid any awkward situations when prowling the streets in search of disease-free asshole. Just kidding. Seriously though, the shoulder-strap carry-all simply doesn’t carry the same visual connotation that a nice briefcase (when worn in conjunction with a nice suit) does. If you are wearing anything from a suit to a nice pair of slacks and a collared shirt, a briefcase is more than appropriate and is a better choice than a carryall.
5.Patrick Bateman may indeed have eaten people and walked around his penthouse apartment with the severed heads of women on his erect dick, but he looked damned good while carrying on with this “gross” behavior, so where’s the beef with his fashion choices?

OK
How about never take fashion advice from a woman IF you don’t like how she dresses. I would most definitely take fashion advice from men (and I have), gay or straight. But only ones who dress well and respect my sense of style. If you wear a pirate shirt to get laid, I think you’d be better of just staying in and jerking it.
Timeless is just another word for old. Did you ever notice how the “timeless” look from the 40’s comes back every 10 years or so? The difference is that the look is updated, the little black dress is paired with lacy leggings fro example. The briefcase has become a messenger bag, or a soft sided carry all. If you want to be timeless and look like you live in the present decade, you have to update.
I’m pretty sure you couldn’t carry the Indiana Jones look. Not many people can without looking retarded. However if you insist, Tilly has some great hats and shoulder bags.
A breifcase is fine if you want to look very conservative. If you work in a bank, or you are a lawyer, or you live in small town USA. Sometimes the society we live and work in dictates fashion. I’m thankful I live in a fashion forward city though, conservative dress bores me.
If you really want that Ct.Rockula dude, I’d advise buying a burka and give your dick a real hard and tight tuck. Practice “eieieieieieieiei” with a glottal stop for when he plugs you. This may please him enough to actually spit on it first. Oh and rub falafel under your pits before you hook up.
The Bateman character looked great, for the 80’s (from the clips I’ve seen, I’ll have to rent the movie). Personally, I don’t want to dress like it’s the 80’s. (See the above about updating.)
Anyways thanks DB, your posts amuse me and this thread kept me from working too hard this afternoon.
