Step #2 – Increase Your Manly Nature
Okay. Even if you are being perceived as a wuss, it is not to late to change. Remember, it is okay to be a sensitive guy, as long as the whole world doesn’t see that part of your nature. If you drop a tear during Old Yeller, just pretend you got something in your eye. Your date will think you are sweet, but she will be freaked out if you start sobbing. Here are some tips to increase your manliness.
Manliest Colognes
One major mistake men make is to listen to sales clerks. Cologne sales clerks are usually hotties on commission, so buyers beware! Avoid anything heavy and cloying, and focus on crisp clean, subtle scents. Scents that make people think you just came back from five hours of whitewater rafting. Another strategy is to go the sensual route. Pick a scent that you know drives women wild. The sexier the smell, the more they will think about sex – get it? Note – DO NOT slather on cologne. Less is more. Let her move in close if she wants to breathe it in.
Manliest Types Of Footwear
Look for heavier soled black leather shoes that can be worn with jeans or slacks. Avoid anything too dressy, and never wear dress shoes with casual clothes. Since most people won’t notice your shoes when you are wearing them, think about when you aren’t wearing them. Like when they are at the front door of someone’s house or apartment. Those shoes will speak volumes about you, so make sure they look ‘rough and tumble’ like the man you are.
Manliest Types Of Drinks
There really are only two: 1) Beer and 2) Jack and Coke. That being said, there are going to be occasions when you may need to drink wine. When those occasions occur, always drink red. White wine is for hairdressers and aficionados.
Manliest Types Of Magazines
Magazines say a lot about the people who read them. If you have someone over and you have celebrity gossip magazines all over the coffee table, you might - no, you will be perceived as a wuss. So avoid those, as well as gardening, cooking, and anything to do with crafts or hobbies. Men’s magazines that are not porn are good, so are intelligent magazines like The New Yorker. Sports based magazines are also food, but the more specific the better – like boar hunting or kite surfing. Avoid generic, weekly sports magazines, and never have a lot of them out. You want your date to know you are a man, but not the kind that will force her to sit through hours of Sunday football games.
Manliest Types Of Music
If you have anything from Top 40 playing, get rid of it. Think mood, not content. If you are trying to get laid, then make sure you play music that is sexy and smoky, like a bed of hot coals. If you are trying to entertain friends, then play some alternative, new, edgy material. Then they will all think you are in the loop. Not sure what that is? Pull up alternative rock stations on the web and listen for a while. A lot of it is very good. Techno/house is always good, but only if you are having a party that is loud and ‘dancy’. You can impress people even more by having satellite radio, which works in the car and the house.
Manliest Types Of Cigars
Since you practically can’t smoke anywhere these days, it is debatable if smoking anything will give you a manlier edge. However, in certain ‘old boy’ establishments, cigar smoking is still acceptable. Anything Cuban is good, but they are hard to get in the USA. They are, however, sold all over the place in Canada, so it might be worth your while to make a trip up North to pick up a box. Failing that, just make sure you have a decent cigar that doesn’t have a plastic tip at the end. If you light one of those up around someone who has a real cigar, you might just get slapped.
Step #3 – Is The New Me Working?
Okay. If you did some or all the things we suggested above, you should have increased your manly content exponentially. By now you should be noticing the guys at the office including you in their conversations. Maybe the dates have become more frequent, and people are starting to look at you when you walk into the room. Keep up the new image, and feel free to ad lib. It takes time to become a man, and being manly requires regular maintenance. So go to the odd boxing match, and don’t be afraid to get in a fight every now and again, because you’re not a wuss anymore!
