If there is anything common throughout all the cultures of the world then it is probably the importance given to appearance. However how people choose to present themselves is often just as diverse and complicated. Appearance and dressing sense conveys a person’s beliefs, values and social standing in effect telling what a person really is. Sadly this really important aspect is really ignored; sometimes to startling degrees.
So here are a few important points you will want to consider before you go out on a date:
- Dress to Impress: Dress as if her parents were coming on the date with you. Dressing for men is a lot simpler than that for women. Typically contrasting colors look good on a man. Also do not dress too casually or too formally. Remember that your dressing is an extension of your personality. You want to show this person who you are without offending her.

Basic Dressing sense: Ok you want to dress your way however there are a few things that you simply must follow, period.
- For instance if you are short then you will want to wear body-fitting clothes in light color. Also wear a shirt with vertical stripes, this makes you look taller, you can also consider monochromatic suits as a single color will give a taller impression to the eye. It goes without saying that you should also consider high heeled shoes. Your ultimate aim should be to slim down the silhouette so that you appear taller.
- If you are tall then you can wear big patterns and solid colors. You should also be wearing trousers with cuffs. As a rule of thumb stay away from baggy clothes, short or padded jackets and vertical stripes.
-
Physical Appearance: Although this probably won’t get you rejected as there’s so much more to dating than how you look, but if looks is where you are lacking then your physical appearance is something you should seriously consider revising. For men certain things look better. While you may not be able to magically increase your height by 3 inches, there are a few things that you can work up…
- Men with athletic physiques look better. Aside from the usual movie stereotypes about the steroid inflated pumping iron hulks getting all the girls, in real life however females are generally seen to prefer men with a lean athletic built. This is also easier to attain, you only need to have a regular health and exercise regimen. Also if you are into sports it will help you out a lot.

Key aspects of a man’s appearance:
- The shoulders – Broad shoulders look good on a man. It makes him appear more dominating and masculine. Lean shoulders on the other hand pass him on as a pushover and weak.
- The upper torso: A toned upper torso can give a great boost to your physical appearance. You really need not press 100 kilos to do this; a few regular exercises will suffice.
- Stomach: A flat stomach goes without saying. Although nothing to serious if you have a few extra pounds, do give it a good revision if you find it hard to see your own foot.
- Body language: This is just too important and cannot be ignored at any cost. Walking in a lanky way alongside your date will make her feel awkward and embarrassed. Any girl will want to see a confident and proud man walk beside her. You will want to look confident, relaxed and calm around her. Also pay attention to what she says. You should be in a bubble which consists of you and her only, do not be concerned with all that goes around you.
A combination of good dressing, attractive physique and confident body language will make you virtually irresistible to women. This does not ensure that you will end up with successful dates one after another however it will definitely increase your chances exponentially.
