One of the quickest ways to look like an average man is to let your wife or girlfriend pick out your clothing. I’m not saying that she technically has lousy taste.
But if you let a woman pick them out for you, you will look average regarding men’s clothing. My goal is simple today. I want to help you not look average like 99% of the guys out there. You don’t want to be boring and basic.
Do NOT look boring and basic!
- Choose clothes that fit. Wear clothing that fits your body.
- Don’t look like all the boys. Don’t look at your friends, peers, or coworkers and think you must wear what they are. Your style is your responsibility.
- Spice up your clothing choices. Get some basics from The Gap, but then spice them up.
- Stop horrible shoe choices. Make sure your shoes are spiced up.
- Show a little skin. Roll up your sleeves to expose your forearm. Unbutton one more button on your shirt (three buttons).
- Accessorize. Accessories are one of the great equalizers, making you look better than everyone else.
- Eliminate moobs and love handles. Don’t be sloppy fat or have a dad bod. You don’t need to get jacked, but you do need to work out and get your body fat down. Definition will set you apart from 99% of other guys. It doesn’t take a lot to change it. Exercise, lift heavy 4-6 times a week, and get your diet in check. Don’t eat trashy food, and stop drinking excess calories.
- Reduce chubby cheeks and weak jaw. These features will make you look average. Minimize a round face by reducing the amount of carbohydrates consumed, reducing water retention (see below), and adding facial hair.
- Reduce water retention. Consume one gallon of water per day. While increasing your water consumption, decrease the carbs you consume. This will flush out water retention. In conjunction with these two efforts, reduce the amount of sodium you consume. These three steps will drastically improve water retention, especially in your face.
- Add facial hair. Adding facial hair is next level, extra sexy. It is the male equivalent of female makeup.
- Upgrade your hairstyle. Your hair can make you look average. You don’t need flowing locks, but you should have something different from your boys.
- Deal with hair loss. If you’re losing your hair, you can do something about it.
- Wear fantastic fragrances. Whether you don’t wear a fragrance or the same fragrance as your boys, change it up so that you are more attractive and stand out from the crowd. I recommend REBEL by Pete & Pedro, which Creed Aventis inspired. Creed is $500 a bottle, whereas REBEL is $50. Stop smelling average and upgrade your fragrance.
- Improve body language. If you have a weak posture, are hunched over, do not make eye contact, have a weak handshake, and are not smiling, these poor nonverbal communications will make you blend in. Improve each of these and speak eloquently.
- Speak fluidly, without using filler words or cussing. When speaking, look people in the eye and actively listen. Communicating well is a superpower; the more you practice interacting, the better you’ll get. Your speech will flow and become more fluid.
- Be able to storytell. When it comes to speaking or getting a point across, you should practice this.
- Have masculine edge and energy. This is confidence and belief in yourself. It’s knowing you can do the job and who you are as a man. Be able to stand up for yourself. When you value yourself, you respect yourself and present yourself in a masculine, positive, and confident way.
