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?

    The secret in controlling body odour for men who actually is considerate enough, is to subdue the main exits of deadly fumes:

    1. Mouth - Brushing is obvious but flossing is actually more important. Food particles feed the bacteria between your teeth that makes you smell like dog. Emergency: Eat fresh parsley.

    2. Underarm - Anti-perspirant BEFORE sweating happens. Deodorant AFTER it already happened. In general, anti-perspirant is a MUST. Deodorant is good for emergencies but a shower is much better.

    3. Feet - Thick socks, VERY thick such as the sports. Standard socks traps too little sweat and the smell seeps out so easily that removing your shoes before entering an Asian household is the equivalent of releasing Anthrax. Thick socks holds MUCH more sweat and traps the smell very well. Perfect, but please do still wash them.
