Do Appearances Really Matter?
Oh yes, it does! Sorry to burst your bubble but looking good creates a favourable first impression. That first impression is often based on how you look, and it could mean the difference between one date and three or four.
Go stand in front of the mirror, preferably full length. If you were someone else, and saw someone who looked like you, would you want a closer look? If the answer is “no way”, it’s time to take action.
If your last haircut is a distant memory, it’s simply been too long, and so is your hair. Call your hairdresser for an appointment without delay. It probably wouldn’t hurt to update your style while you’re at.
Gentlemen, it’s time to get out your razor. There’s simply no excuse for scruffy and badly maintained beards and moustaches. Done right, they’re sexy; done wrong, they’re a total turnoff. While you’re at it, inspect your nails and trim and file as required.
Ladies, razors aren’t just for men. Visible underarm hair is not going to turn any guy’s crank. Though I know full well that shaving your legs is a chore, it’s a must. And while you’re at it, pay attention to your bikini line. You just never know!
What you wear will depend on the date and where you’re going. While dressing up for dinner at a good restaurant will require one outfit, a walk around the lake will call for another. Whatever it is, it needs to be clean and pressed. Your date will not only think you look hot, he or she will also appreciate the fact that you care what they think.
If you decide to wear perfume or cologne, easy does it. Remember, a fragrance should never enter the room before you and it should leave with you. Unless your date has a fragrance allergy in which case this is a moot point.
Looking good can take a bit of effort, but like the commercial says; you’re worth it. Knowing that you look good gives you an inner confidence that can’t help but show on the outside too.
