Would gaming pieces in this outfit make me look less attractive and sexy to women? If yes, then why?

[Professor Oak]

I was making a new outfit then I remembered that you could consider me a gamer and also that K/DA is among my favorite bands. I would like to express that I'm a gamer in my outfit among other things.

What do you think of this outfit?

Wearing some gaming attire would make me feel happier and more confident, but would the gaming pieces noticeably take away from looking sexy and attractive to women?

If the clothes look good and make you feel good, that’s a good thing.
But if they slot you into the “videogamer” archetype, they become a liability because unless the girl is a gamer (and even then), you are going to get associated to the nerd/sexless stereotype.

I would advise against the jacket because it has a dragon in the back and fantastic creatures = nerd = sexless.

The accessories could work since they are less overt BUT I would also advise against them because promotional jewelry tends to have pretty bad quality.

My suggestion here is that, even if you love videogames, for seduction purposes you are better leaning on other more sexy parts of your personality.

A more meta-explanation:

Fashion a form of expression that communicates aesthetics proficiency, affiliation and taste.

You are here building an outfit in order to show affiliation to some kind of sexy tribe (bad boys, rebels, seducers…).
The affiliation to “gamers” that is communicated by the jacket clashes with the affiliation you want to convey.

Can you be the sexy gamer guy? Yes, I think so.

Will that specific jacket help achieve that message? I think not.

What is the sexless stereotype?
