I’m sure I know the answers but just curious to hear what you all have for answers. Hats are a huge coverup I always hear to make a guy seem more attractive. Sunglasses are probably another and tattoos as well I’m sure.
Cologne, worn moderately.
Smelling good is a huge part of being attractive. You can legit make heads turn by wearing a scent that doesn’t reek, doesn’t smell like everyone else, and compliments your own body oils and smells.
How does one “find their scent”? Just the thought of going to the perfume aisle makes me nauseous… And I can’t tell one from the other anyway.
Having an SO to rate the smell helps, but different people like different smells. No one-size-fits-all answer.
Denim, (and fitness)
makeup
Clothing is the easiest answer. I’m continually stunned by guys saying nice clothes are uncomfortable, expensive, too much hassle, whatever. Just went to the fair tonight with my wife and friends. I looked about as good as I can outside of a tux. (And a tux, minus the cufflinks and such, is a whopping $110 on Amazon.)
Not tonight’s outfit, but the vest is a woman’s from the thrift, $2. The shirt in that pic is also a woman’s, $3 at the thrift. I’m not wearing $25 in clothes there, including the watch, shoes and other jewelry.
Clothes are stupid cheap. Keep experimenting, see what looks good on you. BTW, there is no permanent you style. I’ve changed many times over the years.
One more easy tip is tooth whitening. My dentist made me a mold for $70, you can roll your own whitener with H2O2 and baking soda. 20-minutes a month and your teeth will pop.
Clothes, accesories, cologne, actual makeup, skin cream.
Of course and the most important: confidence and genuine joy.
Grooming habits, fitness, and confidence.
And also makeup.
The people in the comments are lying to you
Makeup. Guys can, and do, wear makeup too.
Yeah celebs and people on tv. The regular ones are most likely gay
Because the straights are too scared that it could make them gay. Homochondriacs.
Back when Zoom trials were a huge thing some of the law firms I worked with had the lawyers put on makeup because better looking people do better in court and it worked.
I saw a couple of firms have record settlements and judgments in their favor, in part because they were the better dressed, better looking, more well put together, side.
I’m sure the confidence boost of looking their best while being in a high stakes trial also helped.
The answer is a personal hygiene, a fit physique, and a beard!!
Personal hygiene = no greasy hair, no B.O., no bad breath. Keep your haircut maintained.
For physique, no you don’t have to be gym bro built but just don’t look like I can push you over😆 Ladies are more forgiving towards a belly as long as you have nice arms and broad shoulders. Us ladies love that lol.
Beards help immensely on guys who don’t have much of a jawline. Helps with baby face. Hides a potential double chin too.
Also important is knowing how to dress for the occasion. You can put a little thought into something even as simple as a shirt and jeans. Like make sure your clothes are clean, aren’t wrinkly, and fit properly (pls don’t wear that holey/pilling/overstretched shirt or that shirt that you overgrew xD). Watches and collared shirts or sweaters instantly look more put together. If it’s a buttoned shirt, the fabric but most importantly length will tell you whether to tuck or untuck. Learn your fabrics and fabric patterns (ok that’s too advanced). Idk I’m not an expert on guy’s clothes. Just find some inspo or watch youtube/IG!
And pls no active wear to dinner!! Lol
A beard is like makeup for men. If done correctly, your short, neatly trimmed beard can highlight and strengthen your jawline and provide a contrast to emphasize hollow cheeks/cheek bones.
I didn’t know there was a beard shop for men to buy different shades and types of beards. I’ll have to tell all my guy friends, they’lllove this
There is a trick.
If you’re a guy and you have a scraggly beard, and you really want it to fill out, and it’s gonna sound fucking crazy, but Rogaine.
Over the counter Rogaine, monoxidil shampoo.
Wash the area that you want to have a beard with it and in many cases your beard will grow in.
The good thing about that is, is that once your beard grows in, it will stay grown in.
Of course, be careful with it.
1: I’m just some person on the internet relaying information that other people have relayed to me. I have not done this myself, so take everything I’m saying with a grain of salt
2: You don’t want to start growing hair in places that you don’t want to start growing hair in, and Rogaine, Minoxidil, will increase the amount of hair that your body grows wherever it lands over a long enough time period, so be careful where you wash your body with the Rogaine.
A further caveat is that the area must have hair to begin with. It will not make your palms grow hair because you do not have hair follicles there, and it won’t work for everyone because all it does is prevent DHT from attacking the hair follicles, but that can be the space that those hair follicles need to get stronger and to start growing in a thicker beard.
It’s still makeup
Just be clean. Fuck collective ideas on beauty.
Ironically I think keeping a clean living space and bring kempt is a pretty big attractive quality, so this is a great answer.
Not orange foundation. That’s for sure!
Like women just love to do with tanning spray and lotion
Makeup. But less obviously
No way I’m putting makeup on as a male
All hot male actors wear makeup.
I’ll pass even with my rosacea
Good skincare and a tinted moisturizer would go a long way. All the hottest guys I know wear “makeup.” Don’t get hung up on a label.
I have products I’ve been using from my dermatologist for rosacea and not working as great as I’d like
Is it because its not masculine?
Cuz once it’s off they’ll see how I really look which I why I don’t like women that cake on makeup
Thats fair. In that case I think the answer is being clean and well-dressed and just looking well put-together. Every girl crazy bout a sharp-dressed-man guitar riff
I try to. Just not into wearing suits at all
ik people on Lemmy hate when this is mentioned, but Instagram is good for fashion and tends
also Johnny Silverhand is the sexiest man ever
Not everyone can be a character performed by Keanu Reeves!
