Can a man be too masculine? For the sake of all MANKIND we hope not. However, there are many bad masculine “activities” that guys indulge in that women think are absolutely ridiculous including:

4. Fake Fighting /Wrestling
When you’re rolling around on the ground “wrestling” with you’re friends you don’t look masculine, you look childish. Also fake fist fighting with your boys isn’t fun for ladies either, it just looks like violence to us.

3. Being Money Hungry
Women like men who are ambitious and successful. However, most women would say they’re turned off by guys who are money hungry. If sentences like: “I’m married to money/my job/ my hustle,” are in your daily rotation, just know it’s not hot to us.

2. Super Silent Sexy Time
Being stoic in bed is weird. Keep in mind that communication is important to women, even during, maybe especially during sex. You like chicks to make noise, then by all means return the favor! If you’re doing your business and not making a sound, you run the risk of coming off psychopath scary.

1. Posing While You Stand
Standing with your shoulders wide and chest stuck out, guido style trying too hard. I know some random study showed that guys can’t help but change their posture when a hot girl comes around. Just be sure you’re not overdoing it. There’s nothing worse than a dude trying to look like a bigger dude. Relax.

Dating can be awkward. Do you know how to avoid those awkward moments on a date? For the MAN that has a hard time figuring it out, we put together a few scenarios along with some helpful tips.

Scenario 1: On a dinner date, you’re both chowing down when you notice there’s something stuck in her teeth.

What to do: This can be awkward but gently point it out, don’t worry about embarrassing her. There’s nothing worse than going through an entire dinner and ending the date only to find out you had something stuck in your teeth. As a woman, hell as a person, you’re going to wonder what kind of chicken shit your date must be to not say something about it.

Scenario 2: She comes back to the table after spending 10 minutes in the bathroom.

What to do: There could be a ton of reasons why she it took forever. There could have been a line, maybe that appetizer you insisted she try didn’t sit right with her. Either way say nothing.

Scenario 3: She mentions her last relationship was as a disaster

What to do: Show some interest, even if the last thing you want to do is hear about a bad break up. If you just say “That sounds awful,” she’ll appreciate that you empathize with her. Don’t worry, most women know not to rattle on about exes. The night won’t be ruined.

Scenario 4: You both know she makes way more money than you… and the bill arrives.

What to do: Pick up the bill. It’s important to treat a woman to a good time on a first date. So make the move and pick up the tab.

Firsts dates can be nerve-racking even for men. Before meeting that special girl, why not take some time and do everything you can to make the best impression possible. Ultimately, the best rule to follow is to be yourself, but in addition to doing you there are also a few don’ts you should keep in mind.

WHAT NOT TO DO ON A FIRST DATE

Don’t Be Late – It’s one thing if a catastrophic life emergency goes down, but otherwise don’t be late for your first date. Even if it’s a few minutes, you don’t want to leave a girl waiting.

1. Don’t Under Dress – Girls like a guy that looks great in jeans and a t-shirt, but there’s a time and place for everything. Be sure to dress appropriately for your age and remember your date has most likely spent a lot of time to get ready for you, you should look like you put in some effort too.

2. Don’t Talk Politics or Religion – These are the most divisive topics out there. On a first date, you should stick with the basics. Talk about your hobbies, what you do for fun, and other lighter subjects. This is the best way to give your date a fair chance.

3. Don’t Talk About Yourself Too Much – Yes, you’re really awesome and adventurous and have tons of stories to share. Share a few things about yourself, but don’t over share. She has to talk too.

4. Don’t Get Drunk – This is pretty explanatory. If you drink too much, your date will think your either an alcoholic or over drinking because you’re nervous. Neither leaves a good impression.

There are some things a MAN should not do after a break up. To help you remember we decided to provide you with a “DON’T” list.

1. DON’T try to be friends right away. You need time away from each other to “heal.” If you try to be friends immediately, you’re more likely to stay in couple mode. Stay away until there is real closure.

2. DON’T get a haircut or a tattoo. You just went through a big change and you feel like you need to do something to “refresh” or “boost” your life. But beware of rushing into another commitment you’ll regret. Changing your look is not the answer to feeling better. Especially if it’s a tat.

3. DON’T get another girlfriend. After a breakup you should take some time to yourself. Date, even sleep with a girl or two, but DON’T rush into another monogamous relationship to fill the void of the relationship you just came out of.

4. DON’T spill your guts on Facebook. Yes, you might be going through it right now, but please don’t update your FB status with where you’re at on the 7 stages of grief scale. It’s a downer for us and not productive for you.

5. DON’T call her every time she comes to mind. It’s normal for her to come to mind. It’s even normal for her to come to mind several times a day. But it’s not normal for you to call her every half hour. Don’t stalk her.

We’ve compiled a list of the top 11 things women say make a guy un-date worthy. We went with 11 because 10 just wasn’t enough. Check it out and see how you stack up!

1. He has a “type” that he sticks to, no matter how unrealistic it is.

2. He can’t kiss.

3. He is more afraid of spiders than I am…

4. His mustache is shaped like an old time magician or warlock.

5. His nails are longer than mine.

6. If he pronounces the “L” in “Salmon.” NO deal!

7. He only has female friends.

8. He is very homophobic-makes you wonder, why?

9. He needs more time to than I do to get ready in the morning.

10. He doesn’t know the difference between a dress and a skirt… that’s a lot of guys.

11. He wears socks with sandals.

You have your list and we have ours. Some of this may not come as a surprise to you, but take a gander anyhow!

#5 Self-Portrait Insanity

Having an album dedicated to pictures you’ve taken of yourself, by yourself, makes it seem like you either have no friends or are totally self-obsessed. Neither option is good. It’s one thing to have a couple pictures of yourself on FB, but if you have more than 5 self-portrait style pictures it’s officially become weird.

#4  Women-Bashing Posts

It doesn’t matter if you’ve been cheated on or burned one too many times – keep the woman hating to your self. It’s a total drag to read status updates that are bitter, angry and sad.

#3  Juice Head Posing

We can tell that you’re fit without you flexing for the camera. Just be normal in your pictures, we don’t need an invitation to the gun show!

#2  Flaunting Success

Women like a man who’s successful, but most women don’t like a show off. If your status updates are constantly about the next meeting you’re going to, followed by the power players you’re drinking with, followed by the exclusive, blah, blah blah… We’re tired just typing it.

#1  Stalker-Gawker

This goes without saying: the most hated thing guys do on Facebook is stalking. You know who you are, so please stop gawking at pictures of exes or girls you wish you had in your life (that way), it’s creepy-deeps.

Every man is in a “Friends With Benefits” relationship if he chooses to have sex with a girl and does not claim her as his girlfriend. Whether it’s casual sex with someone on various occasions or hooking up with a girl friend after a night of drinking, at some point there are strings attached.

The relationship may have started out as friends, but whenever sex is involved there will definitely be a level of emotional and physical attachment from the female involved. After all, what female do you know that isn’t emotional?

If you want to make sure the sex is mutual physical pleasure and nothing else, here are a few tips that should ensure your Friends with Benefits arrangement stays on a gratifying path.

1. Always Take Separate Cars
Yes you are friends, but keep in mind she is not your girlfriend. Riding together whether it’s to a designated “hook-up spot” or just to grab a bite to eat can send out the wrong message. The more time spent together doing “girlfriend/boyfriend” type activities the more mixed signals you send. Avoid adding too much of a personal aspect to your relationship.

2. No Vacations
This is obvious. She is not your girlfriend, so do not treat her as such. Many women give their relationship the official boyfriend tag when they take their first trip with that special guy. You are in the relationship for the benefits and not for the status, so do yourself a favor and keep your travels to a minimum. A trip to a bar or even a restaurant is okay. A trip to Mexico spells disaster.

3. Do Not Spend The Night
You two have had an incredible night together. Why ruin it by staying the night and cuddling? Cuddling is one of the top indicators that a man is into a woman after sex. I do not advice you to treat her as if it’s a wham, bam, thank you ma situation, but beware of too much affection. If you want to make sure you stay within the boundaries of Friends With Benefits, get up and go home after sex.

4. Decline Her Invite
The biggest advantage to a Friends With Benefits relationship is that both parties go into it with the idea that it’s just sex. In fact, it’s sex without love, obligations, and minimal expectations. Therefore, don’t feel like you are obligated to do anything except hook-up. I’m not encouraging you to be an ass, but I am recommending that you don’t get sucked into hanging out unnecessarily. Going with her to family functions, weddings, or even to the movies sends out the wrong message. The more time spent together the more her feelings will evolve towards you.

5. Play Your Position
This has to be the biggest rule to any relationship, but definitely for a Friends With Benefits situation. Think of your favorite sport. Let’s say basketball. If the point guard is playing the center position, he is bound to get dunked on. Understand where you stand in the relationship and what your part is. You are friends, but it’s just sex. Act accordingly!

It’s hard to get inside a woman’s head, period. So on that crucial first date, when you’re bumping your gums about your life and work and friends, what is going through her mind? Wanna’ know – here you go!

1. Does He Always Talk This Much?

You thought you were the only ones that didn’t like mindless chatter? Chicks have a threshold too! In fact, dominating the conversation all night long is a sign of a narcissistic guy. It can’t be all about you- so ask her about herself and get to know her. If you’re a nervous talker, you might have to practice by taking a breath, slowing down and listening.

2. Is He Ambitious?

Talking about how you like to kick back with the boys and exploring your hobbies is great. But take a moment to let her know you have ambitions in life. Women like a guy who has goals, no matter what field they’re in.

3. Is He A Mama’s Boy?

Women like a man who loves his mother. Women are freaked out by guys that: “Don’t like restaurants, because mom’s cooking is better.” “Talk to mom 3 times a day.” You get the point.

4. Can I Take Him Home To My Family?

True, it’s only the first date. Women however, are sizing you up from the moment they meet you to see how much of a potential mate you could be. If she decides you’re only good for having fun, so be it! Just know that on your first date, she’ll be sizing you up to see if you’re good enough to meet the Fockers.

5. Is He Going To Make A Move Tonight?

Depending on what type of girl she is, she might be down if you try to make a move on her. Whether you actually do or not, it’s definitely on her mind!

So you and your girl broke up and you’ve been wondering if it’s a good idea to get back together. The truth is, depending on why you ended your relationship it might not be bad to give it another go. A long break from a girlfriend/boyfriend can bring some clarity to the situation. So, if you are considering getting back together with an ex consider the following tips!

GO SLOW
It’s hard not to pick up right where you left off, but you have to push the breaks a little bit. In your time apart, both of you might have had some changes – which means you’ll have to take the time to get to know each other again. Don’t see this as a bad thing – think of it with the excitement of having a new girl in your life, even if you already know all her dirty habits!

TALK ABOUT IT
Getting back together with an ex isn’t as simple as kissing and making up. You have to address the issue that was at hand when you both split! Keep to the big picture reasons why it didn’t work the first go around and establish ways you’ll both try to be better this time.

DON’T KISS AND TELL
The one thing you should avoid talking about is what you guys did while you were apart. No matter how much you might want to know, it’s best that you don’t bring up the excruciating details of being with other people!

KEEP IT MOVING
Once you’ve hashed out the issues, it’s time to let the drama go forever more! Try to make sure you don’t have a chip on your shoulder and that she doesn’t have baggage from passed experiences. Every time a person breaks up, they become stronger. You will both have to pull from that strength when you have your first argument when back together, but remember you’re back together for a reason!

Most people think sex appeal is something you either have naturally, or you don’t have at all. And while, it’s true that some people are born with a natural Ummff, that doesn’t mean you can’t learn a few things that will up your sex appeal ante. Here are the top 4 tips to achieving sex appeal.

#1 It’s in the eyes!

Creepily staring at a girl is not sexy, but holding eye contact while you’re talking to her is hot. If you look at her like you are interested, you want to get to know who she is, and what she wants… that will create an aura between the two of you. That aura will augment whatever chemistry is present.

#2 Be Appropriately Physical

Touch is touchy. In other words, you don’t want to overdo it, but you do want to let her know that you are physically “available” and that you know how to make her feel like a woman. No, don’t do the corny placing your palm over her hand, that’s for consoling people. Touch her arm, lightly put your hand on her back, you catch the drift.

#3 Mystery Man

Telling too much about oneself, too fast, is not hot.  With that in mind, try to maintain an air of mystery. Keep her coming back for more, curious to learn more about you. We’re not saying be secretive, we’re saying, be mysterious in a good way.

#4 Pace Yourself

When engaging a woman in conversation, watch your pace. Fast-talking is for hustlers. You want to talk like a romancer. Slow it down, take your time, to let her know you’re not in a rush. Let your voice and energy settle into a deeper place… you’ll sound like a man that’s got things under control and that’s sexy.

Do you know the signs a woman gives off when she’s thinking about breaking up with you? Sometimes you feel it, but can’t put your finger on it, and other times you’re just plain clueless. Hopefully, you don’t need this, BUT here are the top signs that you’re about to get dumped!

#1 She cuts off the PDA.

A girl that is dunzo, will retract the public displays of affection. She won’t lock her arm into yours, snuggle your neck or give you big fat kisses in front of people. She’s moving on mentally.

#2 Her Couch Posture Changes

Say you’re watching a movie together on the couch and her body is angled away from you—that’s a bad sign buck-o. If it’s just one night, fine! She could be in a bad mood or needs personal space. However, if your usual M.O during couch time is snuggles and hugs, but she’s taken to boxing you out with her body language, it means she doesn’t feel the intimacy anymore.

#3 The Conversation Is Neutral

How about the weather? If the conversations between you and your girl have become bland, generic and neutral, it’s a sign that the intimacy is gone.

#4 The Cutesie-Wootsie Is Gone

You may be in a long-term relationship and so the cute texts back and forth are less frequent… but keep an eye on this. If she entirely stops sharing funny, sweet, sexy moments with you, she’s creating distance between the two of you.

Let’s face it, hot girls get lots of compliments. In fact, the effectiveness of a compliment might be nonexistent to a girl who’s heard a lot of them. So how do you compliment a girl and make sure it left a lasting effect? Check out these tips on how to compliment a girl.

#1 Be specific
Saying, “You look good tonight” is cool, but it’s generic as hell and she’s heard the same exact thing from a handful of dudes tonight. So you have to be unique and focus on a detail. Look at her closely (but not creepily,) and decide what it is about her you think makes her beautiful.  Pick something specific and try, “Your green top really brings out the green in your eyes. They’re beautiful.”

#2 She’s Got A Personality Too

So you think she’s hot and want to compliment her. But consider complimenting her on her personality. When you’re just meeting a woman and find yourself in conversation, try complimenting her sense of humor, her intelligence or how sharp she is. Noticing things other than her looks will go a long way.

#3 Don’t Be Sexual

Unless she’s from the Jersey Shore, she doesn’t want to hear how hot her butt is, or that her boobs are awesome. Sexual compliments are pretty much wack all the way around.

#4 Be sincere
When you compliment a woman, stick to compliments that you actually believe and not just things you think she wants to hear. Woman are intuitive, so she’ll know when you’re sincere or when you’re faking it.

#5 Don’t Over Do It

We’ve mentioned this concept before. Over complimenting a woman is bad-news-bears. If you tell her she’s gorgeous every 10 minutes,  your words will lose their potency and she might start feeling uncomfortable with your obsession with her looks.

1. “Relax.” or “Calm down.”
When your girl is mad, upset, angry… whatever you do, don’t tell her to “relax”. Saying this will have the opposite affect on her, because you are not acknowledging her feelings.  Not only are you not acknowledging her feelings, but you are belittling them. In effect, what you are saying is that she should feel what she’s feeling – and that dear sir is dangerous territory.

2. “Are you PMS’ing”
There is nothing worse than blaming a woman’s feelings on her period. Hey, maybe it is or maybe it isn’t, but what you don’t want to do is write of her feelings so quickly. She more than likely actually has a real problem that’s present all month long, not just this week. You should never, ever, say this.

3. Anything Bad About Her Weight.
No. Doy. You should already know this, but if you didn’t, take head! Even if you think she’s put on a few pounds, keep it to yourself. Criticism about her weight is not hurtful. She’s well aware of the fact that she’s let herself go and she’s probably trying to figure it out on her own time. Be patient!

4. “Let’s Do It”, in the middle of an argument.
Here’s the thing: if you’ve made up after an argument and want make-up sex, fine. That’ a beautiful thing. BUT, do not say “let’s have sex” in the middle of an argument. No, it won’t fix the problem. No, she won’t forget it and be overwhelmed with what a great man you are. It isn’t a good idea.

5. Anything That Makes Her Feel Stupid
No one likes a condescending guy, especially not your girl. Even when you mean well, you have to be careful not to say things that make her feel stupid. Think about it. Do you say things like: “ What did you think was going to happen?”, “Well, normal people would do it this way.”  Or  “ OBVIOUSLY….”.  If you say things like this often… you might want to reconsider your approach.

Yes, sometimes she fakes it. We don’t condone it, nor do we judge it – because some of you guys out there fake yours too (as much as women, but you do). However, you may not know ALL of the reasons why a girl fakes an orgasm. Let us enlighten you mankind… here are top 6 reasons why a woman fakes the ‘O’.

#1 She’s not in the mood but didn’t want to hurt your feelings by turning you down. She just wants to get it over with.

#2 She IS in the mood but for some reason she knows it’s not going to happen and she’s embarrassed to say so… and she fakes it!

#3 She’s afraid it’s taking her too long to get there and she doesn’t want you to get bored or tired.

#4 She’s getting sore and wants it to end before it gets sore-er.

#5 It’s the least complex reason: She is tired and wants to get it over with. Haven’t you been there too?

#6 She’s never reached a climax before and is too shy to tell you.

For most guys, breaking up with a girlfriend is a downright scary thing to do. Even guys that aren’t afraid of an ugly scene or making a girl cry, have a hard time. But don’t resort to sending a text to do your dirty work. There are proper ways to handle a breakup.  Here are the steps on how to breakup like a gentleman.

Meet in a public place

When ending a relationship, you should do it in a neutral place.  Doing it at your place or hers could give either one of you the home court advantage, and that’s not gonna’ end right. Also, meeting at a public place will minimize the chance that she will act a fool after hearing the news.

Take It Easy On Her

This seems obvious, but a lot of guys when breaking up think that being “tactful” also means being “cold”.  That is not the case! Be gentle with her. Be as humane as you possibly can. Avoid attacking her character or her ego.

Don’t Email or Text Her

Unless you’re in a long distance relationship and barely see each other, you should not end a relationship in any other way except for face to face. Facing her while you explain the reasons you’re breaking up will definitely help to get the finality of the situation across to her.  Remember, women need closure! Breaking up with her over the phone will feel almost surreal.

Practice What You’re Going To Say

You need to have a game plan when it comes time to break up with your girlfriend. Think it through thoroughly and lock down the reasons that you want to end it. This will help you to speak clearly when you meet her.

Keep It Cool

If you’ve taken the steps above to heart, there most likely won’t be a scene. However, your girl, um… ex-girl might not take the break up well. She might cry, be mad as hell, or try to talk you out of the breakup. You can empathize with her but, don’t try to prolong the breakup process by agreeing to try to work on the relationship if you feel that you’ve already done that.

Most guys don’t want to think about it, but it could be true. Is she cheating on you? Are you suspicious? Are there changes in her behavior that are tipping you off? Here are the top 4 signs that she’s cheating on you.

#4  Bedroom Behavior

You know your girl’s sex drive, so watch for huge changes in it.  Did she all of a sudden lose complete interest in sex?  Women can grow disinterested in the sack when they’ve found someone new. Generally women will withdraw emotionally and physically when having an affair. Conversely, she can all of a sudden kick her sex game into high gear! But usually, she’ll withdraw. Watch for signs of boredom, especially to patterns and situations that she normally found exciting.

#3  She Gets Hotter

It might be that she’s revamping herself to be hotter for you. I’m not talking about buying a new bra on Valentine’s Day or getting a new haircut. Again, you know your girl. Watch for a huge spike in interest in her appearance. Usually this is a sign that there’s someone else in the picture and she wants to look good for him. A bigger sign will be that she makes the changes without consulting you.

#2  Defense!

Most people will get defensive when accused of something.  So, watch for times when your girl feels defensive for no obvious reason. Does she fly off the handle and refuse to explain herself in every day situations? Her defensiveness about simple things will escalate, as the affair gets hotter.

#1  Full Calendar

Is she having more girls’ nights than she used to?  Is she finding excuses to stay longer and longer at work? Whatever the situation, her schedule will become packed with mystery and you’ll eventually lose any place you had in it.  Think about it…

There are times that you were actually wrong and your girl deserves a proper apology. Now, one would think that saying you’re sorry is a simple thing, but most of the times when you do it, your girlfriend thinks you’re either dodging a bullet, not sincere and just not buying it. Why is your apology not connecting? Here are the 4 fool-proof steps to properly apologizing to a woman!

#1 Acknowledge Your Goof

Your girl just wants to feel that her hurt feelings are valid. If you snapped at her because you were hungry and grumpy or were  late to an important event, just admit you were wrong.  So, saying something like  “I know I hurt you when I was late to the dinner party you’ve been planning for months”, goes a long way. It will let her know you understand that your were a temporary meat head.

#2 Explain But Don’t Complain

The next step is to explain why you did what you did (if you have a valid reason). However, don’t hit her with excuses or turn the tables around on her. You don’t want to say: “I was late, but you know that sometimes work goes long hours so you shouldn’t have planned your mother’s birthday party at 7PM”. That tactic will definitely end in a sexless night for you. Instead, give her your valid reason and if you actually forgot, admit you were a bonehead, tell her you’re sorry and that it will never happen again.

#3 Puppy Eyes Time

Now, it’s time to tell her how bad you feel about letting her down. Say something like, “I feel really bad about being late. That was so lame of me.”  It’s hard to hold a grudge against a person who feels badly for what has happened. Play that card to the death. She’ll forgive you in no time.

#4 Make Up and Make Out

Finally, tell her you’ll make it up to her. Say something: “how about I take you and your mom out for dinner to celebrate her birthday.” You get the point, right? Ultimately, you offer to cheer the situation up at a later date and move in for a make up kiss!

Done and done.

#1 Go To Family And Friend’s Events

Your friends and yes, even your family members are the key to meeting new women. Try to go to every party, get together, pot-luck, doesn’t matter! The more you attend events, the more likely you are to meet someone new and interesting. Meeting a girl that knows your family and friends, is a good deal, because she’s already made it into the circle.

#2 Find a New Coffee Shop For Every Day of the Week

A 2008 Northeastern University study found that most people’s daily activities took place in an area that’s little more than 6 miles wide, and 83 percent mostly stayed within a 37-mile radius. And they tended to spend the majority of their time in five or fewer places. The reserachers tracked the movements of 100,000 cellphone users for 6 months and gained that information. Does that sound like you? If so, chances are you won’t meet a new girl anytime soon. You have to broaden your stopping grounds!

#3 Go Shopping

Believe it or not, shopping is a highly social activity. Most women that are engaged in shopping are there for the social aspects of it… that’s what window shopping is all about!  Places like Ikea, farmer’s markets, where folks are out for hours at a time perusing the goods, are a great place to meet someone new. In any given day, as many as 10 million people pass through Ikea every week. You do the math!

#4 Do Some Good In the World or For Your Body

Let’s face it, you block off the weekend as your time to go meet women. The problem with doing that is you are isolating your possibilities of meeting someone to just 2 nights per week. What about the other nights? I know you’re a busy guy, but consider becoming involved in activities that bring you out of the house during the week as well. Do some volunteer work or train for a marathon with a group of people. The point is, on weeknights, instead of plopping down in front of your TV, go get active in the community. There are tons of single ladies doing the same!

1.     She Talks About The Future

A woman that sees you in her future plans, is most likely in love with you. When she talks about traveling, having kids one day, buying a house, her career does she mention you?  Does she talk in “we” and “our”? That woman loves you.

2. She Wants To Meet The Fockers (your parents)

A woman that wants to meet your parents essentially wants to see where you come from. She is watching your interactions and family dynamic, sizing it up to see how she would fit in. If a woman cares enough to meet your parents, she’s most likely in love with you.

3. She Sacrifices For You

A woman’s rituals, “me time” and girl time is very important to her. If you notice that she rearranges her usually important plans to make time for you, she is probably in love with.

4.  Nurses You Back to Health

A woman that wants to take care of you definitely loves you… especially if she has to put up with the dreaded “man cold”. Lord knows, that when you’re body is aching, you’re sneezing and you can’t reach the remote, you are a miserable mess of a man, incapable of doing a single thing for himself. If she swoops in to take care of you, she is most likely in love with you!

You too, can benefit from a few of these tips. To save you from actually having to sift through an Allure magazine, here are few tips that will actually help you step up your grooming game.

#1 Vaseline Is A Miracle Worker

Vaseline. It’s cheap and easy to get your hands on and it’s also a miracle worker for your skin. If you’re not a manicure man, this trick is for you. Apply Vaseline on your cuticles at night and let it soak in. This will keep you from getting those unsightly and sometimes painful hangnails.  Yes, women pay attention to your hands.

#2 Trim

Some guys wax their nether regions, but you don’t have to go that far if you don’t want. However, women do appreciate a neat and tidy guy. Consider trimming the hair down there and if it’s a birds nest, your underarm hair.

#3 Flaky, Flaky

Dandruff can be innocent, or it can be a sign of a minor health issue. Persistent flakes can be caused by fungus overgrowth, eczema or psoriasis. If you suspect that’s the case, go see your dermatologist.  But if it’s the occasional innocent flaking you have, consider using Biolage Scalpthérapie Antidandruff Shampoo, $14, biolage.com for salons. Finally a shampoo that takes care of flakes but doesn’t smell like medicine!

#4 Avoiding Backne

Do you wash your hair or your body first in the shower? Do you even care? Well, if you get backne (a gross way to say acne on your back), then you might. If you wash your body first and then finish with your hair, your conditioner might hang out on your skin afterward and clog your pores. Consider washing your hair first to see the difference!
