A Dab Will Do You.
Do you remember last time you were walking down street and almost got whiplash because someone passed by you with an overwhelming smell? Our sense of smell is one of our most powerful senses, which leads us to rule number three: always remember to smell good. Some smells take us back to childhood and others remind us of something very specific. The same applies to your cologne. But why is cologne used in first place? Its purpose is twofold: it becomes your “signature” and sense of smell is heightened when things start getting hot and heavy. Again, less is more. No need to drown yourself with stuff, keep in mind that when it comes to cologne, a little goes a long way. The best places to apply your signature are inside of your wrists, your neck, and even your chest.
Attention to Detail
Sometimes it’s little things that make a difference and rule number four reminds you to pay attention to detail. We all know women have an eye for minute and slightest thing can turn us off. So solution is simple boys, don’t overlook small stuff. Just like women like carpenters, some women also think scruffy is sexy, but on your first date, go with clean shaven look to be safe. And not only are you going to brush your teeth, you’re also going to break out dental floss for this one just to be extra safe. Make sure your hair is neat and doesn’t hold an entire bottle of product in it. Remember to clean those nails. You may look like a man’s man with dirty nails, but it’s a turn off for women. Finally, keep accessories to a minimum. You can wear your watch and necklace or a ring but that’s it. If you’re wearing more jewelry than your date then we could have a problem!
Of course, not all women are same but most will agree that less is more when making a good first impression. So remember four simple rules: don’t dress like you’re going to watch game at a buddy’s house or like you’re about to walk down runway; smell great and put in effort to care of details. You’re sure to have plenty of second, third, and fourth dates!
