Grooming issues
If I ever have have hair coming out of my ears, would you please let me know!! I was in Manhattan the other day on an elevator and this poor man had a forest growing out of both of his ears.
I am not making fun of the guy. I actually really wanted to help him and say something, but it just was not appropriate.
That brings us to the topic of todays blog. Grooming type issues that we should be aware of.   It could be that the bushy ear man had no clue that a bird might mistake his ear for a nest. So lets get out some of the things that are grooming related that can hurt our chances with the opposite sex. This may help us identify some things to consider the next time we go out. A lot of what I say below is for the guys, but ladies, please chime in. And guys, let the ladies know about some grooming issues they might want to be aware of.
- Unsightly hair- Can be a major turnoff for some. Guys check your ears and your nose to see if anything is sprouting that shouldn’t be.
- Breathe- Can you say instant deal breaker?? Guys, if a woman thinks you are attractive but your breathe stinks, you can forget about it. I have had this come up at a few events when I asked a gal why she stopped talking to a guy at the party.
- Body Odor- Recently a guy gave a woman a hug at an event and the gal was really turned off because of the smell. Just be aware of this.
- Nails- I had a “get together” (since I hate the word date) the other night and realized that my nails were longer than they should have been. Ran into CVS for some clippers and now keep them in the car. Not really into the whole metrosexual manicure thing myself, but have gone in the past. As long as your nails are clean guys, should not be an issue for most women.
Hmm, ok, I got you started and have to run. Lets add to the list and make sure we are aware of the things that may want to consider as far as grooming.
Guys, don’t wear sweats to a date (unless it is to a gym), make sure your socks match your pants if wearing dress shoes. Invest in a lint roller if you have a pet. Don’t over do the cologne. It should make a woman want to get closer, not push her away and give a headache. I could write a book on 100 horrible dates (other sources, not Jay’s guys!!
Guys – please don’t speak with your mouths full of food. The very strong cologne is a huge turn off. Do you have more hair on your back than you do on your head…please go for a waxing! lol
Here is one for the ladies.. If a woman has more hair on her arms then I do, it is a major turn off. Laser is a beautiful thing!
