無法隱藏的致命傷

我身邊有不少品行優良的男性友人，只可惜他們的穿著打扮掩蓋了他們的優點。

我們都知道該注意自己的穿著，但常常說一套做一套，特別是在正式場合的時候。很多男生對於穿衣服沒有sense，不是太緊就是太寬鬆，或是出席婚禮、宴會等正式場合穿著不合時宜。


對我而言，不會看場合穿衣代表這個人不了解各個場合所代表的意涵或重要性。想像一下有人穿著吊嘎配短褲參加婚禮，能看嗎?!有些男性會穿得太女性化或是太孩子氣；對，就是你！不要再穿卡通圖案緊身T-shirt或貼腿褲了...


我也注意到男性常忽略了個人整潔衛生的重要性，自以為將’'男人臭味''簡稱為男人味就很MAN了嗎?!想想小時候為什麼你們會被女生討厭，罵你們臭男生，你們就真的很臭阿!女性朋友一定記得從前上完體育課，男生們滿身大汗，臭氣沖天，令人無法呼吸。由以下的連結來表達我的意思。

有些人可能沒意識到這些缺點，甚至還有覺得這樣很酷、很帥。也難怪這些臭男生會不受歡迎。


為什麼這麼多男性對於穿著、外表這麼沒sense、這麼智障?可能他們有太多事情需要煩惱，像是晚餐要吃啥，晚上要看哪部a片，又或者是他們太有魅力，吸引太多女性飛蛾撲火所以應接不暇，只好利用怪異的髮型、長過膝蓋的大T-shirt再加上臭氣沖天的體味把她們通通嚇跑。

What you don’t know can hurt you

I have met a lot of guys with great personalities, but quite often their appearance really lets them down and they wonder why girls aren’t interested in them. 


Before I start talking about how gentlemen present themselves, I need to say that it is one thing to say yes we should care about how we dress, but another thing to actually do it.

I see an alarmingly huge number of men with extremely poor fashion sense.  Quite often they wear clothes that don’t fit them properly, or wear the wrong type of clothes when attending formal events.


To me, not knowing what sort of clothes to wear in specific events, tells me that guy has no clue about the occasion.  Imagine someone wearing shorts and a wife beater to a wedding?  Some also wear clothes that are more appropriate for girls or little children.  Guys who wear t-shirts with cute cartoon characters or wear leggings, you know who you are.

Quite often I also notice that many guys have poor grooming skills, where I am unfortunate to see guys sporting hideous haircuts and worse yet have met guys with complete disregard to their hygiene, especially their body odour.  My girlfriend completely agrees and as well as so many other girls who really find it disgusting. She told me that when she was in school, class after physical eduction was the worst period, where all the air-con and fans must be turned onto max in order to breathe. Take a look at the link below to get an idea of what I mean:

I am quite certain they are unaware of their shortcomings, but I also get the impression that some of these men think they are cool. They are pimping. Nothing could be further from the truth. No wonder these guys are not exactly popular with girls.

So then why is it that so many men in general  are so ignorant about their presentation? May be they have more pressing things to worry about, such as what to have for dinner, or which movie to watch.  Or is it their goal to repulse everyone around them? Maybe they are getting too much attention from girls? Need to fight them off with deadly combinations of mullets, feminine clothing and body odour?

關於這部落格

大家好，我是Jonathan， 這部落格會探討一些我認為所有男性朋友該了解的基本議題。 

從這三年在台灣的居住經驗，我發現很多男生不太了解該如何當一位紳士，例如正式場合該如何穿著或是跟異性互動時該注意哪些細節。西方國家重視紳士、淑女的養成訓練，學校的課程會訓練說話、儀態以及衣著。不管是在工作場合或日常生活，我們與國際友人接觸的機會非常多，因此我們也該知道如何應場合需求來打扮以及與他人互動時進退得宜。

我想先從男性出席正式場合(例如:面試、婚禮)時該如何穿著討論起，畢竟第一印象真的很重要!因為你還沒開口或做任何事，別人就先從你的穿著為你打分數。

About this blog

Hello everyone, my name is Jonathan and I have decided to create this blog as a channel to discuss issues that I think all my guy friends should know about, especially with regards to what it means to dress formally. I would like to express my opinions, experiences and the immense amount of information that I have collected over the past few years on the many aspects a respectable gentleman should be aware of.  Some may feel that being a gentleman is old fashioned and irrelevant these days, but from the many people I have met through business and socially, most of them still appreciate what it means to be a gentleman.

I am starting with how to present yourself, since first impressions make a huge difference and before you even say or do anything you are already judged by other people.
