What are your thoughts on the light blue shirt with the navy suit

Thanks to Martin for inspiring me to pose this question. The question of whether to wear a hat indoors is a common etiquette query that touches on both tradition and modern sensibilities. Traditionally, it is considered proper for men to remove their hats when they go inside. For women, the historical etiquette has been more lenient, as their hats were often seen as part of their attire. However, this typically applies to fashion hats. But, since this RMRS, not RWRS, we'll stick to men. Many people today view hat etiquette as an outdated tradition and believe individuals should have the freedom to wear what they want. However, many others still see it as a sign of respect. Ultimately, deciding whether to follow these customs is a personal choice, but being aware of them can help you navigate different social situations with greater confidence. What say you?

Follow up from my OOTD this morning. The proposal went just as planned! She was caught off guard just enough. The gold band is a placeholder for the custom ring we just ordered last week. Plus she said she loved my outfit. Thanks again to all of you for support!

Losers love to talk about "work-life balance" as a way to avoid doing the work required to reach their long-term goals. They think they can have it all. Chase big goals... Maintain a comfortable pace... Clock out at 5 every day... Never miss a night out... ...and still somehow end up winning. That isn't how this works. Nobody who's ever built anything real lived a balanced life while they were doing it. They spent every possible minute they could working toward a vision nobody else believed in. They were obsessed. ...and that's the truth nobody wants to hear because it means surrendering all the crap you want in the present for everything you want far more in the future. Real balance comes after the work. Not before. Not during. After. Start thinking of balance differently. It can't be measured on a daily... Weekly... Monthly... Or even yearly basis. It must be measured over the course of your life. Success isn't supposed to be easy or balanced. It comes at a cost. That cost is living an "unbalanced" life by giving it your all for 10-15 years. Oftentimes longer. Only then can you experience the freedom and "balance" you're looking for. How badly do you want it? Ask yourself that question instead of how you can make the time for every little thing you like right now. Work-life balance now equals broke-life balance for the rest of your life. Is that what you want? I didn't think so. ~ Andy Frisella

Good Morning Gentlemen, One of the gentleman in this community who I also consider a friend @Jeffrey Plotka uses the term intentional several times in his post. And at first.I was like why are you so intentional about things? And then it dawned on me, @Jeffrey Plotka is right! Sorry Jeff; you know your my guy, but he was right about being intentional, when are are on this journey and we are doing things that we never done before or not use to we have to be intentional in what we are doing. Only by being intentional are you going to get use to doing what you are attempting to do. Take like even a baby trying to to walk, look at their steps that make sure that they are intentional in where they place their feet to make sure that they have their feet planted and they are balanced before they take that next step to avoid falling , but also so they can take that next step to reach their destination. We have to be intentional in the things that we normally do not do, or that we are not use to. Only by being intentional will it become habit forming and then natural. There are many that grew up in ways that are not conducive with what we consider being a gentleman. It’s is not a reflection on how you were raised or how you are, I was raised to be a gentleman, but I let the world shape and conform me to what they wanted me to be rather than who I was and what I was raised to be. Unfortunately, it took years of making poor decisions that affected work and relationships before I realized this, and then when I did finally wake up and decided to change, because of years of bad habits and not caring I was struggling to change. Now I look back, I had to be intentional in what I was doing to change and in doing so, the changes became habits, and the habits now are the norm. Gentlemen, as you are on this journey and you are wanting to grow and excel in being a gentleman become intentional like my brother @Jeffrey Plotka states on so many occasions. Let your intentions become habits, and your habits become the norm. In doing so you will find that the changes that you thought was hard will become easy and you will look back and say “ Was I really that guy? I am glad I am not that guy anymore.” This goes for if you are not used to dressing a certain way , being more open in public, introducing yourself to others, being the first to step up to the plate when no one will be, intentional about these things. This builds leadership qualities that will make you a leader and not a follower.
