Models Chapter 8 Summary: Lifestyle and Presentation

Men and women perceive attraction differently.

In general, men are first attracted to the physical. Personality and presentation are secondary.

For women, it is the opposite.

This is great news for men because it means that even if you are not classically handsome, with a little effort you can still be highly attractive.

Begin with personal grooming. Shower regularly and use deodorant. Shave, get a haircut, wear clean clothes, etc.

Basically, don’t look like a scruffy homeless guy.

Next, if you aren’t already, get in shape. Eat well and exercise. Not only will you look better, but you will feel better too. You will have more energy and more confidence.

This doesn’t have to take up a lot of time either. You can be quite fit from just 30 minutes a day of exercise. Do something that you enjoy, gets your heart pumping, and makes you break a sweat.

The average guy knows very little about fashion. You may think you have a sense of style, but you probably don’t.

The clothes you wear must do three things; they must fit, they must match, and they must suit your personality.

Most of what is in your wardrobe is probably too big.

Do yourself a favor. Go to a department store and ask for a fitting session. Now buy clothes that fit.

Here are some general principles:

• Shirts: The shoulder seam extends and stops at the end of your shoulder
• Dress shirts: The cuffs extend no longer than your wrist bone
• Pants/Jeans: The bottom of the legs rest gently on the top of your shoes (unless your specific style dictates otherwise) with no more than one natural fold. Neither your socks nor your plumber’s crack should ever show, and they should stay up without a belt.

Stock you wardrobe with the following:

• A nice pair of black shoes, a nice black belt, and a black jacket.
• A nice pair of brown shoes, a nice brown belt, and a brown jacket.
• Several pairs of designer jeans of various shades.
• 10-ish nice shirts.

Now when you go to get dressed, all you need to do is pick a pair of jeans, a shirt, and then either your brown set or your black set.

Here are some more general guidelines:

• Match your shoes to your belt and accessories.
• When wearing dress pants, match your socks to your pants.
• When wearing jeans, match your socks to your shoes.
• If wearing accessories, make them all gold or all silver.

Choose a fashion-based stereotype that fits your personality. Such as a surfer, bogan, hippy, businessman, emo, sporty, etc.

Make it age appropriate. Nothing looks more ridiculous than a middle-aged man wearing the same thing as the teenagers on his block.

Now look at photos of famous people who are the same and mimic their style.

Most people are hunched over, even if it is just a little.

Consciously un-hunch yourself whenever you remember to do it throughout the day, until eventually, standing straight will be your default posture.

Shoulders back, chin at a 90-degree angle to your neck, eyes looking straight ahead. You want the back of your neck in line with your back, or as close as you can get it.

This position will naturally bring your tummy in and straighten your back.

Your feet should be shoulder width apart and facing straight ahead or slightly outward. If they point too far out or inwards, use a foam roller on your calf muscles to loosen them up.

Walk with this same posture and look straight ahead with your arms and shoulder swinging slightly. Keep your hands out of your pockets and only look down if you need to navigate some sort of tripping hazard.

Look all women straight in the eye as you walk by them. If they make eye contact, hold it. You should never break eye contact first.

You want to talk from your diaphragm. It's a deeper tonality and resonates louder without you having to scream.

Hold your nose while talking. If you sound nasally, you need to practice speaking with a deeper voice.

Also, practice speaking slower.

Most guys are content with just going with the flow.

They are very agreeable and follow the crowd, adopting their personality to what is popular in their peer group.

Unfortunately, this means you are just another guy.

Instead, you need to differentiate yourself by developing depth and character.

You do this by openly expressing your opinions.

Don’t just say you like or dislike something. Explain why you have that point of view. Demonstrate that you make your own decisions based on your personal tastes and experiences.

To be able to do this effectively you will probably need to expand your horizons a little. Learn the main principles for as many subjects as you can. Art, science, music, architecture, gaming, business, etc.

Exclaiming something as ‘stupid’ right off the bat is ignorant. Everything has a form of value, you just need to search for it.

Before you can move forward, you need to fix your lifestyle to the point where you have self-sufficiency and contentment.

Get healthy, find a positive social circle, have a few interests you really enjoy, and continuously learn so you can share informed opinions.

Work on creating a life that is true to yourself and your values.
