Dress and Appearance (Cont.)
Well made and attractive sports jackets, sweaters, and dress shirts are also very appropriate attires in bars. Try to pick out items that fit well, especially if you have a good body. Show off the more desirable parts of your body — wear tighter slacks if you have muscular legs, for example, or a form fitting shirt if you have a nice chest. Keep imagining yourself as a product to be sold to customers (women) and packaged in the most desirable way. So give your appearance close scrutiny before going out. Try to pick out clothing styles and colors which make you look good — wear clothes that you get complimented on the most. You could even adopt the services of a color consultant. They can match your skin tones and hair colors with colors that make you look your best. For example, some people with dark, black hair look good in reds and violets, others may look awful in these colors. Experiment with different types of clothing and colors to see what gets results from women. They will often compliment you on good taste in clothing.
Grooming is also very important. Nothing can turn off a woman more than unwashed, greasy hair, body odor, dirty fingernails, and generally an unkempt appearance. Always make sure you have showered, combed your hair, and taken care of basic hygiene. This is a very basic but extremely important step before heading out to the bars. Also slapping on some good cologne (not cheap stuff) is often appreciated and noticed by women. It is not that expensive and can be the icing on the cake towards getting a phone number.
Hereditary unattractive traits, such as loss of hair, big noses, and excess weight, can be worked around with clothes to deemphasize and neutralize. Women are experts at this – just watch them do it. For example, overweight women often will wear dark clothing or draping outfits which deemphasize their shapes. Women with unattractive faces will have attractive hair styles, bright, trendy, tight fitting clothes that take your attention away from their big noses. With clothes you can steer the areas of focus.
If you are overweight, wear a loose fitting dark suit that covers you up. If you are bald, wear a bright tie and beautiful suit to attract attention away from your head to your clothes. Or you could purchase a good toupee, get transplants, grow a beard, get a tan, or style what hair you do have in an attractive way. Grey hair can be touched up, fly away hair permed, curly hair straightened, etc., etc.
The bottom line is appearance is extremely important, and whatever you can do to emphasize your good points and deemphasize the undesirable – do it!
