>if I'm going to invest in you, you better be shaved with ironed shirt and good suite. Simply, it's telling me you are serious about your business.

This is still not a justification for why we are wasting time and money on appearance. If it's just to show seriousness by cost, why not demand that everyone arrive brining a bowl of dollar bills?

When someone shows up in a suit to meeting here in the bay, I instantly assume that they spent so much time on appearance to distract me from the pile of bullshit they about to unveil.
