Men aren’t the only ones who care about the physical attributes of their prospective partners. Women care about looks too. And it’s not shallow for either to do.
Why would it be? Your surface appearance is, after all, the first thing people notice about you. With that in mind, the following are some dating tips for men specifically involving your physical appearance.
Hygiene
Women care a great deal about a man’s hygiene, and well they should. If they’re going to be spending much time with you up close and personal, your breath should draw them in, not push them away. Brushing your teeth regularly (and especially before a date) is an essential part of making it a good one.
To be certain your breath is more than tolerable, carry a small can of Binaca, a pack of gum, or some other breath-freshener around with you. And remember to use it before you approach any woman for the first time.
That takes care of your oral hygiene, but how about your dental hygiene? Especially if you smoke cigarettes or drink coffee, an over-the-counter tooth polisher like Crest White Strips could help get those ugly stains out.
Bathing is the next part of hygiene that can turn a girl on or off like a light switch. If you don’t shower or bathe every day, at least do it before you go out on a date. And while you’re showing off that clean, unblemished skin, a little deodorant to cover up your nervous sweat stink can’t hurt either.
Scent
This goes hand-in-hand with hygiene but merits its own section because of how instrumental it is in the human mating dance. Scent is one of the most crucial senses in attracting a partner. Soap and shampoo are excellent starters. Finding a great cologne takes it to the next level (but be careful not to pour on too much – remember, just a little dab’ll do you).
Keeping your clothes clean is another key element. In terms of just scent alone, dirt stinks as much as detergent smells nice. And a little fabric softener can work wonders for keeping that fresh, clean odor lingering with you and in your wake wherever you roam .
Fashion
Continuing with the laundry line, stains stand out. So do rips and tears, even small ones. And again, women notice these things. The first step to adequate fashion, then, is to keep the clothes in your wardrobe clean and intact.
From there, you also want to keep your wardrobe current and consistent. By current we mean throwing out those favorite, washed out 70’s jeans in favor of something more fitting of the time you’re actually currently living in. And you don’t have to have your own innate fashion sense to know what to wear. Take a female friend with you shopping. She’ll tell you straight what looks good on you and what doesn’t. Or take your sister or cousin or one of their friends. Alternatively, you can read up on men’s fashion magazines and websites to see what’s “in”.
And keeping an eye on fashion doesn’t mean you can’t have your own style. That’s where consistency comes in. Some guys look great in denim, some in leather, some in slacks. It doesn’t have to be Calvin Klein to look good. But it does have to match. An outfit that coordinates shows women that you care about yourself and your appearance. Even if you had to get help in putting it together, they don’t care about that. They just care that you thought enough to seek help.
Lastly on fashion, don't forget about your feet. It’s a staple of fashion that most women are well-aware of that the shoes can make or break the outfit (that’s why they have closets full of them). This doesn’t mean you too have to own 100 pairs of shoes. You could have one or two neutral pair that coordinate with many outfits. The important part is that they compliment everything else you’re wearing and not detract from it. And that they’re polished nicely and free of scuffs or (heaven forbid) holes in the soles.
Hair
Do something with that hair, would you please? So many guys are content to trim their own hair, or have their roommate or neighbor or mother do it, or pay some mall chain $10 for a quickie haircut. But a decent hairstyle costs money, and it’s one of those expenses that’s well worth paying.
Hairstyling is more than a trade, it’s an art. It requires a blend of skill and training to turn a lump of dead protein on a guy’s scalp into something that makes women swoon. Every guy’s face and head shape is different, so the style that looks great on one guy may look hideous on you., which means you don’t just need a stylist who knows how to wield a comb and scissors; you need one with an eye for the best look for you. And it’s worth the $40 or $50 you spend to have a professional with that discerning eye do it right.
It may not seem like much, but a bad hairstyle can take away considerably from an otherwise beautiful face and, likewise, a great hairstyle can bring out and add to the beauty in a less-than perfect face. And most importantly, women know this. Why else do you think they spend hours on their hair? Because even if you don’t consciously realize it, whether or not their hair style becomes them matters to you too.
The Bottom Line on Looks
Letting your appearance go sends up a red flag to women that such laziness and apathy infiltrates other areas of your life as well (including your relationships).
Attraction requires being attractive. Much of this depends on who you are inside, but not all of it. To make sure that you can attract the women you desire, make sure you take some time out to pay attention to your external appearance too.
