Sometimes image is everything. Don’t attempt to deny this because you know it is so. Let’s take a look at it for a moment. From your perspective that is.

I once made a joke to my friend about which woman he would notice first. Let’s say two girls are walking together. They both have same shoulder length hair and nice features, you know what? Let’s make them twins. One is wearing this body complimenting dress and just enough make up to accent her features with her billowing behind her, she looks like someone who really gave everything to look good. Her twin? Still pretty though and wearing jeans and a regular shirt. So I asked.

My friend thought I was retarded or something when he looked at me and said “Duh! Do you even need to ask that?”. So I got to thinking, if we think that appearances are important when it comes to attraction, then why do most men think women will think otherwise? Apparently, it turns out that I needed to ask that question.

Just like men, women will first notice the man who looks “good” in societal standards. So it doesn’t hurt to know a little about the latest fashion or the hippest shoes. There is a big difference between being metrosexual and actually being gay you know.

The trend for the 21^st century male has now been broken. Vanity isn’t exclusively women’s domain anymore. Men today are into shoes, Armani and cologne, and other things that have been previously exclusively associated with women before. So do women think any less of you because you do?

Actually, no. Because as I said the standards of masculinity is slowly being redefined. So it doesn’t make you any less a man if you spend time on your appearance. In fact, the modern woman expects you to.

You don’t have to project the macho image any more. The gruff, burly man who doesn’t shave and is hot headed. Women are attracted to men who know how to take care of themselves. Because that is what appearing well suggests, that you take care of your body and yourself. If it looks like you are capable of that, then women will think that you are capable of taking care of them as well.

So it’s okay to be metrosexual. It’s actually healthy. Don’t get stuck with just t-shirts and baggy jeans. The phenomenon of metrosexuality gave way to a varied selection of outfits that are designed exclusively for men. Try shifting between them and find out what types you are comfortable in. It will help you a lot. Aside from the fact that women will think that you look good, you, yourself, will know that you look good too. This will give you self confidence and security in yourself.

Because among other else, those characteristics are what attract a woman to a man. A man who is confident and sure of himself and is his own person. Someone who is not afraid to step out of the norm and own it. So be that man and the ladies will soon follow.
