Me: Are you going to wear that?
Him: All day. Why? What’s wrong with my t-shirt and jeans?
Me: I think we have to dress up for the dinner party thing later.
Him: Okay. (He tucks his t-shirt into his jeans) Ready.
Me: Really?
Him: Wait. (he runs his fingers through his hair). There. NOW I’m ready.

Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 6:11 amLeeAnn says:

Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 6:13 amAshley McLure says:
Shirt & jeans clean without holes, just go with it.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 6:15 amDiane Engelhardt says:
My hubby is the same way. Jeans and a t-shirt with a flannel shirt over. Jean shorts or cargos in summer!!
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 6:21 amAngela says:
lol so funny! but it just shows how guys think totally different to most females when it comes to dressing up
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 6:22 amLisa says:
Love it!
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 6:31 amLes says:
My husband has “Good T-Shirts” for such events. If he has to wear something with a collar or buttons it has to be for a conference, funeral or wedding. Thank God he’s a large animal vet, he can get away with wearing carhearts everyday.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 6:34 amBrendaE says:
Starts young- middle school graduation my DS and his friends felt they were dressed up because they had on collared shirts (polo’s) and athletic shoes instead of flip flops.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 6:49 amCatherine says:
Too funny!
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 7:02 amLaura G says:
Yup.

He’s sweet. He went to the dinner party.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 7:09 amLaurie says:
Least he was wearing jeans. Mine wears shorts 365 a year.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 7:18 amLa Bookchic' says:
My hubby wears the same but his T-shirt has to have the sleeves cut out cuz his arms are big and he says the sleeves are too constricting! Love your blog!!
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 7:26 amWendy says:
Sounds like my guy…..but hey you gotta love him at least he is going! LOL
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 7:26 amKerry says:
Definitely an “alpha man” thing – my DH tried that on me for a formal banquet LOL. O/c here in small town TX he still got to wear the jeans!
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 7:44 amNikki H says:
Such a man.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 7:50 amBarb Zachow says:
He must be the unending source for your male character writing
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 8:05 amSteffi K says:

Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 8:14 amAshley M says:
OMG! Just like a man. Makes you just want to roll your eyes.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 8:20 amJeanine says:
Is it bad that I’d probably do the same??
I’m not a girly-girl, I cannot stand shoes or dresses. Give me jeans and t-shirts any day.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 8:28 amJackie C. says:
Formal is which pattern of camo pants. Upland gamebird, Winter oak or whatever is his formal pattern.He actually thought he could wear that as best man at a wedding. Bride had a thought about that.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 8:30 amMrsD says:
Isn’t that just typical??? But you probably like it that way-that’s why we keep putting up with it!!
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 8:33 amChiara says:
He is definitely the ying to your yang
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 8:42 amk johnston says:

Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 8:56 amTracy Gilpin says:
Yep, their definition of dress up and ours are totally different, although I really can’t blame him!
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 9:43 amAlayne says:
Hahahaha, totally a guy thing!
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 10:06 amJudy C says:
Wow sounds like my husband his idea of a nice shirt is a button down skull shirt with flames. I tell him really are you serious. He then will pull out a new Harley Davidson Tshirt with tags on it. Why do I spend my $$ buying him all those nice clothes when we have this conversation all the time. It’s like i”m pulling his teeth. Men
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 10:09 amKathleen O says:
Sounds like some of the guys I know.. I am wondering what my Uncle Bill would think of Jeans and TShirt as dressing up.. He never went anywhere that he was not dressed up in a shirt, tie and suit, and did not wear a pair of jean in his life. He died in the early 80′s. Even my dad who was the same way, wore the odd pair of jeans before he died at 85.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 10:13 amCarol O. says:
lol!! typical male!!
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 10:24 amjan says:
And that is the typical man for you!
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 10:25 amDonna M says:
When my younger grandson graduated from 8th grade they were suppose to wear khakis, or the equivelent, & a dress shirt. Oh, he was so funny!!! He did not have those clothes but his other grandma took him shopping to get them. Not all the boys followed the suggested dress! He could not wait to get out of them!!! I’m also not sure why his mom & dad had not already bought the clothes!!! Mostly he wears basketball shorts & various shirts, he is in love with anything Nike!!
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 10:35 amNancy Huddleston says:
That is the one difference between men and women. Fashion.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 10:38 amCindy H says:
That is SO my husband!! He’d do that in a heartbeat!
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 11:08 amlilypadchavez says:
Lmbo! Well at least he isn’t like my hubby … Who takes longer than I to get ready :-/
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 11:13 amBrandie B. says:
So funny! Sounds like my husband.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 11:42 amBailey Stewart says:
Um, I’m with hubby ….. of course, it’s ‘cuz I don’t own anything except t-shirts,tennis shoes, shorts and leggings … oh, and flannel shirts. That’s my work uniform …. winter and summer ……
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 12:00 pmMarcy says:
Men…you gotta love them.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 1:51 pmKelly S says:
I think you shouldn’t have started the conversation with a question. More like, remember tonight is a fancy dinner thing and you will need to change your clothes. I will lay out the clothes on the bed for you to wear and you will need to change into them by 5 pm. Don’t get them dirty.
or something like that…
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 2:05 pmGary says:
As long as the socks aren’t white and the jeans are tucked over the ‘tenny’s’ he’s good to go — and why aren’t there any men making comments besides me — I love a romance novel — the characters are all true, right???
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 2:18 pmajdean says:
love a man who thinks he doesnt have to dress up for a dinner party.at least alphan man is comfortable in his clothes.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 3:18 pmQuilt Lady says:
Sounds just like my husband and he will put on his old ragged tennis shoes that he wears back and forth to work and they look really bad. Never gets his better ones out. Also my husband wouldn’t even bother to tuck in his t-shirt.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 5:39 pmAutumn Sherwood says:
Ha! Sounds like my guy! But he’d probably top it off with cowboy boots. LOL.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 5:49 pmMelanie H. says:
Love it!
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 5:55 pmLaura says:
Mine wore swim trunks on our 10 year anniversary date. True Story.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 6:44 pmcarolyn overholser says:
If I mention dress up to hubby-if family, the jeans and t-shirt come out, but for something of his, like work, then the polo shirts and dress pants come out.
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 6:52 pmKathy Rando Giannone says:
Maybe Alpha Man was thinking of the party arranged by Suri
Posted on March 15th, 2013 at 8:28 pmLiz Fielding says:
LOL! Mine thinks he should wear a tie to go to the DIY store.
Posted on March 16th, 2013 at 12:28 amMariam says:
