I stayed trying to look "fly" as a teen keeping my cornrows crisp getting a line up every other week etc.

It's not about being :flabbynsick: now (I make sure I stay healthy and in good shape overall) but a lot of that Xtra vanity bullshyt should fall to the waist side once you get out in the real world. :aicmon:

Some Men have to try harder to look dapper than others. Having good genetics doesn't hurt of course. :smugbiden:

What's wrong with a dude wanting to look good? As long as he doesn't overdo it, it should be okay. Do you think women are going to be receptive of a dude with stained yellow teeth, uncombed hair and looking like he needs a dollar? Nope
Pretty much. I'm not walking around in public with a dude that looks dirty. I won't have sex,marry or reproduce with a dude that walks out the house looking like a bum. There's no excuse. Everyone should have a few outfits that are quick to iron, jeans or sweats, tee shirt and a hat. Some of those workout clothes are made of a material that you don't have to iron.

Yeah, I follow, either quick to iron or wrinkle free. And you're right a few outfits won't hurt. Dress, casual and athletic clothes and shoes.

I've stopped trying.
I do what makes me happy...fukk females.
I got one and she's the only one that likes me anyway.
The rest...fukk em.
Ur perfect! Lmao
When these nikkas out here stop being bytches and wanting groupies for the sake of having groupies to feel good about themselves...or feel "attractive", maybe I'll find a lasting relationship. Until then I'm takin names and numbers. Smh.

Doing shyt to make you feel good about yourself is real...anything requiring outside validation is desperate and corny.

:yeshrug:I like being the male equivalent of a bad bytch.

Rather than t*ts and ass I got the arms, chest, and dikkprint game on point. Can't stop till Arabian princesses are flying me out to Dubai to unload bodily functions on me.

It's not wrong, but if your end goal is to attract the opposite sex, working on your outside shell should not be your main priority.

A man's confidence comes from being competent at life, not looking pretty.

Having skills like using tools and being able to fix things, being able to physically protect your loved ones and being a confident provider is a bigger turn on to women than having your hair a certain way.

That's where alot of men go wrong. They project their own attraction triggers onto women. They think cuz all they care about in women is looks, that's how women see men.

Problem is, that isn't how women see men. They are looking for signs of masculinity and competence within you, not some dude who spends more time looking in the mirror than they do.

That isn't to say you can let yourself go entirely, but it will help you understand why being "pretty" doesn't work the same way for men.

Men who spend too much time on their looks, end up appearing feminine and turning women off. Comes off narcissistic and insecure.

I always try to leave the house looking fresh as possible. But there is a line when a man becomes overly obsessive with his looks it becomes feminine and a turn off.

Nothing wrong with working on your appearance.

You ain't getting anywhere in life if you look like a bum. Simple as that. :beli:
