10 Grooming Tips Women Want You To Know

When cleaning our look up there are simply some things that MUST not be left out.

Take the time to look at how you look, it is vital to relationships and at times your career. However you view the article guys, let's keep it real.

Grooming is important.

Ask any woman, they know what it's all about. The smell of their skin, the color of their eye shadow, their nails, etc etc. They take the time and we damn well appreciate it. Right? (Rhetorical, ;))

So before reading this, ask yourself a question.

Who would she rather date?



Be Clean and Subtle

A spoon full of sugar....a little effort and preventative maintenance and bam you are well on your way to being quite the looker, as we all know woman like the lookers first. The men who take care of themselves take care of their woman.

The Terrible 10
problem areas as vocalized by women

Nail's

Cut them, clean them, use a kit, yes we do have them for men out there. Oh, before I forget I am also talking about your toe nails, nothing bothers a woman more than an ugly toenail and toe fungus.

Dry Lips

Cracked lips are a turn off for both sexes. Why are their lips so dry? Then the weird and scary thoughts begin, use a chapstick...


Nose Hair

Cut the trees out of there. Noone wants to see that. Point made.

The Unibrow

Wanna look like a bad 70's movie monster? Keep that sexy thing....wanna meet someone....pluck it or shave it. Either way get rid of it.

Ear Hair

See above

Dry Skin

Keep it soft and it will get more attention.

Dandruff

I can only say, spend a little extras and buy a better shampoo, see a barber, do whatever but make it go away.

Bad Breath

Game over before it starts, keep 'em clean, keep some mints on you.

Ear Wax

A sign that you really don't care about yourself. Translation = he will never care about me all that much.

Acne & Pores

Wash and clean, use a skin product.

When in doubt of these suggestions, simply think how you would feel if your date had any of these issues or more I haven't mentioned here. You would either be turned off, offended or make a note not to see her again right? Well big boy what do you think women do when you show up with these problems....

'Nuff said.
