The Top 10 Things Men Do That Turn Women Off

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Men, we love you and there are lots of things you do that turn us on but here are the top ten things that turn us off.

1  Wear socks with sandals. It’s looks really nerdy and extremely unattractive especially flip flops with socks.

2  Hand gestures are very rude, especially the v gesture. They are all highly offensive to women and a guaranteed turn off to any woman.

3  No sagging pants. We don’t think it’s sexy or cool to show your underwear or a peeping crack. It’s tasteless. Wear a belt.

4  Fast cars are cool but don’t trick them out too much. It looks stupid unless it’s a show car on a professional track.

5  Tweezing your eye brows, even if you are body builder, it looks too feminine.
Not that uni-brows are attractive, but sculptured brows are too much, especially if they look better that ours.

6  Too may tattoos are a turn off unless your woman adorns many herself.
If we want to see all that art work, we’ll go to a gallery. Most women prefer to see a clean body which shows off muscles rather well.

7  Age gracefully. Don’t act or dress like you are twenty if you are not.
Wearing your baseball cap backwards when you are over 30 makes you look immature. Too much plastic surgery screams how insecure you feel. Wrinkles and graceful aging shows wisdom and confidence and there’s nothing sexier than a man with confidence.

8  Don’t dye your hair black, especially shoe polish black. Black looks fake and is too hard on the face. Try dark brown or let some gray come through. It looks debonair and sophisticated. You are better off going to color stylist than using cheap box hair dye and don’t forget a great updated haircut.

9  Chewing tobacco is gross. It smells and tastes bad. Woman won’t kiss a man who chews tobacco. It yellows your teeth and that lump on the side of your mouth looks weird.

10  Don’t talk about your ex or complain about her. If you are trashing your ex, we’ll know you’re gonna trash us as well. It’s classless. We also don’t want to hear about your bitter divorce, especially when we first meet or in the beginning of the relationship. We just don’t want to hear it. If we are out, it’s because we want to have fun not be your therapist or your mother.

Basic Fashion Rules for Men

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Shoes in traditional colors such as black, brown, dark tan, and navy should always match your belt. Other colors are difficult to match and should be avoided.

Use a dress belt with jeans only when paired with a blazer or jacket and a dress shirt.

Don’t wear a dress belt when wearing jeans and sneakers. Wear a fabric or braided belt or one with a casual look. Never wear a belt with suspenders.

Wearing the same color shirt and tie is outdated. Even Regis stopped sporting the look he made popular. Use color and patterns in your tie to express your personality but not corny whimsical ties. Novelty ties are short lived so stick with diagonal stripes, polka dots, plaids, or soft patterns.
Socks should match your pants, but the exact shade is not necessary. Patterned socks work well for a fashionable look. White socks should only be worn with sneakers or when going to the gym, unless you are imitating Michael Jackson.
Pleated pants are more comfortable but flat front pants look more fashionable and are more slimming. If you need extra room, buy them in a size larger and have the waist taken in by  the store’s tailor.
A watch is an important accessory for a man. Every man needs at least one good quality watch that reflects his life style. A black band should be worn with black shoes and a brown band with brown shoes; and a silver or gold band works with either.
Wear glasses that compliment the shape of your face and express your personality. Updated frames will takes years off your look.
A new hair style will make you look younger and more fashionable. If you haven’t changed your hair style since high school, it is now time to consider seeing a stylist for an updated look. Go for it!
