I was just thinking about this while in the shower. I'm getting my degree next summer (finally!) in business marketing. And it made me think about the way I dress and natural upkeep of my body. You guys know the saying if you look and feel like million bucks you're more than likely to attract a million bucks. So lets share some tips on how to maintain our apperances. 1. I keep my hair trimmed and neat at all times. No mowhawks or designs.2. Always brush teeth 2 times a day, go for teeth cleaning once a month.3. Nails and Feet have to be maintained at all times! (Women notice when you have jacked up hands and feet)4. Drink water all the time! Makes skin look better no pimples.5. Workout!Feel free to add some more! Lets take ideas from each other to look our best!

im 31 yrs old and i just figured this out.  shame on me.

a tailored nice fitting "cheap" suit will look infinitely better than some designer label suit straight off the rack.

i kinda have a funny (euphemism for fat) body shape and off the rack dress shirts kinda fit funny.  either the neck doesnt fit, or the shirt looks like a damn circus tent on me.  i think i have to suck it up and just get some shirts custom made.

You're saying you actually go to the dentist once a month? Waste of money and completely unnecessary if you're flossing (which is more important, and you didn't even mention) and brushing regularly.
 
Get your hands and feet done? You're a man, dawg. You not supposed to be dainty.

This. Actually, I would think it's probably bad for your teeth to get them professional cleaning once a month, Just brush 2-3 times a day, and floss.

Dental Insurance fam, it only comes out to $25. And I do floss even though I hate it.

It's not about being dainty. It's just about making sure you appearance is right. You walk up on a fine female, and you have dirt under you nails and dead skin on the bottom of your feet? Nah bro.

dont think a women is concerned about the bottom of your feet when you take her home at the end of the night. how is she gonna know what the bottom of your feet look like when you first meet her? i shower, keep my hair cut, floss/brush, dress nice and work hard everyday. Never had a problem pulling nice looking women.AND i bite my nails. #comeatmegirlybros

depending on where you go, some places will have a tailor on site.  I was in search of a seersucker suit a few months back and went to this suit store down the street from my work (3 day suit outlet... chain in CA) to see if they had one.  They didnt have one, but I figured since I was already there I might as well buy a suit that I can throw into the rotation.  The suit wasnt anything fancy or designer label, and ended up costing me like $180 and another $75 for the tailoring.  After I got it back I was amazed at how much better it looked on me than my designer label ill fitting suit that I had paid 3x as much for.

i just used Yelp to find a local tailor that was near my office so I could hop over there on my lunch break.  I took my older suit I had over there and it cost me about $100 to get it tailored.  It was well worth it.  Depending on where you live, it might even be cheaper than that.  Before it looked like I was some punk kid borrowing a suit from my pops cause they fit so poorly.  Now I just feel better when I am suited up cause I know it looks a helluva lot better.

Ok fam, you're stuck in your lane it's cool. I just want my hands and feet to be maintained. You do your own thing. I'll do mine.

This guy talkin about getting monthly dental cleanings once a month... say goodbye to your enamel. 

Oh, and lololol at gettin manicures & pedicures.  I've never heard of or have seen a straight man do this. 

And women notice a guy's face first, it's all about establishing eye contact.  Women couldn't care less what you have on your feet unless it's some payless !*@@

.  But I agree on the H2O part, drink at least 3.5 litres a day and it'll make your skin smooth and shiny as a baby's bottom.
