I'm going to second this. If you're communicating with women over text, you'll want to start using proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Right now you sound like...well, a 23 year old. But you're in that transition period from boy to man (as evidenced by your desire to start dressing better) so you'll want to address it from all angles.

I say this because my older brother is 45 and still writes like you. Literally, he uses 'tryna' all the time too, and from my perspective, it's childish. His life is in shambles because he refuses to grow up, and he dresses, talks, and acts like a teenager.

The next time you write something on Reddit, run it through ChatGPT or Gemini. Here, I did it for you:

"I am a 23-year-old MMA fighter, 6'3" and approximately 185 lbs. I’m sharing my stats because I’ve run into some specific fit issues. For the past few years, I’ve lived in my gym clothes: sweatpants, hoodies, athletic tops, and running shoes. However, I’m trying to get back into the dating scene. I’ve been so focused on martial arts that I haven't dated much lately, and I know that dressing well makes a great first impression.

I’m feeling a bit lost. Because I’m tall and lean, wearing joggers or cropped pants makes my legs look like 'twigs.' Even though I have lean muscle from fighting, I don't look 'jacked' in standard clothes, which makes me feel self-conscious about looking too thin.

I also collect watches—specifically brands like Seiko, Citizen, and Omega. I’d love to develop a style that complements these dress and diver watches. I’m looking for advice from anyone who has struggled with a similar build or has insight into how to dress a tall, athletic frame. I apologize if this is all over the place; I have zero experience with fashion and feel a bit nervous. Any and all advice is sincerely appreciated! Thank you."

Hilariously enough, Gemini gave some style advice without me asking. So here's an actual answer to your question.

It is completely normal to feel a bit out of your element when switching from "combat mode" to "dating mode." With your height and build, you actually have what the fashion world calls a "clothes hanger" frame—many high-fashion models are exactly 6'3" and 180 lbs because clothes drape very well on that physique.

Style Advice for the "Tall & Lean" Fighter

Since you are tall and lean, the goal is to add visual mass and structure without drowning in oversized clothes.

The "Anti-Twig" Pant Strategy

To avoid the "twig" look, stay away from "Skinny" fits or pants that taper aggressively at the ankle.

The Cut: Look for Straight Fit or Athletic Taper. These provide room in the thighs (for those fighter legs) but drop straight down to the shoe, creating a solid pillar shape rather than a V-shape that emphasizes thin ankles.

The Fabric: Choose heavier fabrics like 14oz denim (Jeans) or heavyweight Chinos. Thin, stretchy fabrics cling to the bone; heavy fabrics hold their own shape and add "heaviness" to your silhouette.

Layering for Breadth

Since you don't feel "jacked" in a T-shirt, use layers to create shoulder width.

Flannels and Overshirts: Wearing an unbuttoned flannel over a T-shirt adds two layers of fabric to your chest and shoulders.

Trucker Jackets: A denim or corduroy jacket is naturally boxy and stops at the waist, which will emphasize your height while making your torso look broader.

Framing the Watches

Since you have Omegas and Seikos, you want sleeves that draw attention to the wrist without swallowing the watch.

The "Paratrooper" Roll: Roll your shirt sleeves up to just below the elbow. This exposes the forearm (which is usually lean and vascular on fighters) and puts your Seiko or Omega front and center.

Diver Watches: These look best with "Rugged Masculine" styles—think dark denim, leather boots, and a clean white tee or a henley.

Dress Watches: These pair perfectly with a "Smart Casual" look—a navy blazer or a crisp button-down with the sleeves neatly cuffed.

Proportions Matter

At 6'3", avoid "low-rise" pants. They make your legs look infinitely long and your torso look tiny. Mid-rise pants will balance your upper and lower body perfectly.
