Is it bad that I agree with this?

The standard options also emit nearly zero energy of self-expression. Ooooh, the pattern of a tie, or perhaps even an entire shirt of beautiful textile!

My survey of this is anecdotal and informal, but while occasionally you read articles about men getting facials, spa treatments, etc., I think the majority of women's magazine surveys say that men should not look like they fussed too much with their appearance, and they certainly should not compare notes with women on it (unless, of course, the conversation turns to waxing and triming). Men should just look at ease in their clothes and comfortable with themselves. (This is why hip hop guys with their pants belted in the middle of their ass don't look good. They don't look comfortable.)

Don't underestimate the power of a nice tie. I have a bunch of nice ties. Men and women alike like to touch my ties. It's a grace note like diamond earrings with a little black dress. How much do you actually want to be thinking about a person's clothes anyway?
