3 Ways To Make Yourself More Attractive To Women

Finding the right girl can be a serious challenge as anyone who has spent time in clubs and bars looking for love can attest to.

The last thing you need, then, is the added worry of women not finding you attractive enough.  After all, physical appearance (as much as we might hate to admit it) is the basis of all romantic relationships.

Increase Sex Appeal & Be More Attractive To Women

In this post, I’m going to offer three very simple at-home techniques you can use to make yourself more appealing to the opposite sex.

1. Choose A Hairstyle That Suits The Shape Of Your Face

The shape of your face should dictate your haircut. Going with a certain hairstyle just because you like it isn’t always the best idea.

You really want to avoid accentuating the weaknesses of your face.  If you’ve got a tall and skinny face, then you don’t want really spiky hair that makes your face look even longer.

There’s nothing inherently unattractive about a tall face (celebrities and models have faces of all different shapes), you just need to choose a hairstyle that suits it.

There are other types of faces that need special attention, too.  As an example, very square and angular faces (think Arnold Schwarzenegger) make you look very masculine. But this type of face is much more suited to rounder hairstyles.

By using bangs, curls, or just more casual and wavy hair, you can bring the attention away from your angular jawline and make yourself look more attractive overall. For every facial shape, there are a set of ideal haircuts and a set of haircuts to avoid.

2. Kill Bad Breath Forever By Using A Tongue Cleaner

Is there anything on earth that will turn off a woman faster than bad breath?  Doubtful.  For that reason, you should be using a tongue cleaner.

Yes, you read that correctly. A tongue cleaner.

Depending on what type of tongue cleaner you buy, yours may look different than the one pictured to the right. But for the most part, a tongue cleaner is a simple plastic device designed to gently scrape the layer of disgusting blue/green/yellow gunk off your tongue.

Why is it crucial? Because that gunk on your tongue is home to millions of bacteria cells, and can be a major cause of halitosis (aka “bad breath”). So, if you want to greatly reduce the risk of offending your date or your co-workers with foul-smelling breath, simply use a tongue scraper once or twice a day.

A tongue scraper should cost no more than $5 at your local drug store, pharmacy, or supermarket.

Note: Be careful not to scrape too vigorously, and don’t stick the tongue scraper down your throat. You may end up activating your gag reflex (not fun). Be gentle, don’t reach too far back, and don’t try to scrape off every last bit of that white crap. Just pull the majority off with one motion and then brush your teeth as you normally would.

3. Avoid Unsightly Hairs By Using A Nose Hair Trimmer

Lots of guys think I’m joking when I tell them I use a nose hair trimmer every few days. After all, most men who have noticeable nose/ear hair are in their 70’s, which is twice my age!

Seriously, though, there’s nothing more vile than a stray hair sprouting from your nose, ear, or anywhere else. Most people won’t notice these hairs, but any woman who gets within a few inches of your face is sure to spot them! (And then she might think twice about kissing you.).

The solution? Use a nose hair trimmer to safely and quickly remove all unwanted hair, without enduring the pain of tweezers or the risk of a razor. The tiny blades on a nose hair trimmer are hidden behind a metal shield, so it’s nearly impossible to cut yourself.

If you buy a name-brand model at a local drug store, you may pay up to $30, but a usable one can be bought for under $15 in many drug stores.  Too embarrassed to buy one? Order online.

So, there you have it — three simple tips that will help you look as good as possible next time you hit the local bar or club.

How To Hide Your Flaws

Most men are not perfectly proportioned.  We’re made in all different shapes and sizes:  some of us are skinny, some of us are overweight, some of us are short, some are tall, and so on.  Thankfully, there are a variety of techniques you can use to hide any flaws in your physique.

Overweight? Be Careful Here

If you’re overweight, don’t be fooled into thinking that looser clothing is better.  Even for heavyset men, having clothes that fit properly is important.

If you have baggy clothes, it can actually further accentuate your extra weight.  Of course, clothes that are too tight will also be unflattering.  The trick is to find items that aren’t baggy, but don’t cling to your skin and show every curve.

When it comes to suits, men carrying a few extra pounds should avoid clothes with horizontal or diagonal stripes.  These make you look wider.  The only stripes that work for overweight men are vertical pinstripes.  Similarly for casual shirts, items with very large emblems or designs can also make you look bigger.  Go for shirts and jackets with small patterns or logos.

The Science of Color Coordinating

In terms of the color of your clothing, try to stay consistent.  Wear similarly colored shirts and pants.  If you’re wearing black pants, for example, wear a black or dark blue shirt.  Then, opt for a different colored sweater, blazer, or jacket over top.  This can really help hide weight.

Also, stick with dark colours whenever possible, as they tend to be more forgiving (plus they look better when paired together).

Take the time to find pants that fit correctly!  Although every man should have clothes that fit properly, it’s especially important for overweight men.

Wear low-rise jeans and pants that sit on your hips, not your waist.  Avoid slim and tight-fitting jeans or pants.  Opt instead for looser fitting or wide-leg styles, which will look more proportionate.

And If You’re Short …

If you’re a bit on the short side and want to appear taller, there are a few things you can do.  To begin with, when wearing a suit, try wearing vertical stripes.

Like overweight men, you should also try to stick to a single shade of clothing.  Wearing a different colored top and bottom will accentuate your lack of height.  Dark colors tend to be a better choice for short men, as these too can help make you appear a bit taller.

Snug-fitting clothes tend to exaggerate your height.  Finding clothes that fit properly is especially important for shorter men.

Don’t buy shirts that are too long, either, or else you may have to tuck in a lot of material which will look bulky and make you appear shorter.  Whenever possible, leave your shirt un-tucked.

Don’t be ashamed to buy big, bulky shoes or thick insoles.  By buying shoes with a large sole you can immediately add at least an inch to your height.

If you’re really short, there are even “lifts” you can buy to add height. Since height is something that many women find extremely attractive, lifts can be a worthwhile investment if you’re quite short.
