>>10. Always wear a belt
I wouldn't think of walking out of my house without one because my pants would fall to the ground and I'd have to flash everyone -- then I'd get tossed in jail for indecent exposure.
>>9. White socks are only worn during athletic activities
I always wear white socks because nylon socks cut into my ankles
>>8. Make sure nails are trimmed and clean
Yup -- I'm sometimes a little lax about the length and my nails split
>>7. No facial hair
None here -- but I thought women went for men with beards or unshaven. Apparently not.
>>6. Pants - no pleats or tapered legs
No problems there either.
>>5. If it has a hole, tear or discoloration throw it out
Young men (and their parents) pay good money at Wal-Mart for dirty pants with rips in them. They're called designer jeans
>>4. Running shoes are for the gym ONLY
I wear them 24/7 (except when in bed asleep of course)
>>3. Do NOT wear free or company t-shirts
I don't.
>>2. Do NOT tuck in your shirt (unless at a formal event or when layering)
Only tuck in button-down shirts. Otherwise leave them outside the belt. This has the additional advantage of hiding the buldging stomach.
>>1. Never wear socks with sandals
Never wear sandals.

>10. Always wear a belt
>2. Do NOT tuck in your shirt (unless at a formal event or when layering)
Hmm, always wear a belt but don't tuck in your shirt? Wouldn't that hide the belt for most shirts and negate rule #10?
>9. White socks are only worn during athletic activities
Unless you wear white sneakers instead of dress shoes. That's okay, and it's typical among the geeks where I work.
>8. Make sure nails are trimmed and clean
Doesn't have to be a manicure, but not too long, not to short, and for God's sake, keep them clean. ;)
>7. No facial hair
If you look good, you look really good. If you don't look good, it's a disaster. My advice is to try it out and ask people with good taste how you look. What's worse than a guy with bad facial hair? A guy with good facial hair that stays clean-shaven. ;)
>2. Do NOT tuck in your shirt (unless at a formal event or when layering)
I think a tucked in t-shirt (with a belt!) looks good if the t-shirt isn't too loose and the gut is minimal.

I ALWAYS tuck in my shirt, but then I almost always wear dress shirts :)
I sometimes wear company T-shirts, but only ones with subdued colours and logos.
I've had a moustache for the last 20 years, I'm not going to stop now.
My fingernails will get dirty within minutes of me cleaning them even when I do nothing, and no matter how short I clip them (not too short, I need those nails to use the touchscreen on my phone).
What athletic activity?
I don't wear dress shoes, nor do I wear running shoes. So I should not wear white socks nor any other colour (and often comply :) ).
Personally I don't care for such things. I'm usually overdressed compared to the people around me, which should be enough.
