If you take the number of mobsters out there in previous years and today, not many really are all that attractive. Some are ugly as they come.

But then you know, people get the wrong impression when they watch movies and are unable to seperate Hollywood from reality. So you hear things and comments such as "Why do so many mobsters dress like slobs?" Or "Why don't mobsters dress classy and in suits nowadays?"

Many mobsters as we know really don't have those Hollywood good looks or fashion sense that we see in movies such as the Godfather or Goodfellas, or even shows such as the Sopranos. The real world is much much different than what we see on tv. Unfortunately the average person really thinks that all mobsters look like they should be stepping out of a Hollywood movie 24/7 in fancy clothes. If they don't then you get the stupid questions that I have mentioned above. Are there guys out there that take pride in their appearance and clothing? Of course there are. But there are way more connected guys out there that do not give a fuck about how they look most of the time. This doesn't take away the fact that I do indeed believe that mob bosses should recruit guys who look and dress the part to take away unwanted attention from the guys doing the dirty work that makes the mob $$$.

Discuss.
