It's not about going after the hotties and then being "used up" and "settling" for the guy who is reliable and has a good personality once you're 30, it's a matter of discovering what's important in the grand scheme of life.
Even so, there's a number of people who weren't mean to people when they were younger just based on how they looked.

And there's even some people who didn't base things on looks when they dated in their teens and 20s. I think a lot is based on how you were raised.

I would definitely recommend it. As long as it's not overpowering. You don't have to wear it all the time. You can have the same scent for your shower gel and shaving cream. Works like magic. Try classics like Eternity and Acqua di Gio or newer ones like Lacoste Red.

P.S. It's only metro if you're prettier and better dressed than your date. Shhh...

If you've changed, why couldn't she? Maybe she's more domesticated now. And does her own nails... LOL

I love cologne, but a man fresh out of the shower smells yummy as well

In all seriousness though, assertiveness,confidence, and game. There's alot of "ugly" men who pull women because they have a great mouthpiece.

Be your best self

- dont consider yourself ugly, attractivness is highly subjective
- workout. dont even have to go to a gym, pick up a p90x program and workout at home. it will not only get you in great shape and make you look better, you will boost your self confidence, self esteem, and you will feel much happier overall. Extremely important not to leave this one out
- eat clean
-take care of your hygiene
- wear, clean and stylish clothes and most importantly clothes that are congruent with your personality. Youy dont have to buy expansive designer clothes either, just something fairly modern and in your style.
- work on your body language. Guys have no idea how huge of a role that plays in your level of attractivness. Walk around with your shoulders back, chin up and a slight smile on your face. Imagine you just won a lottery and walk like if you did.
- using cologne is fine, as long as you know how to find a great fragrance and never use to much. Just a drop or two, and use the same cologne if poossible. This way, this sc ent will always remind the women youve been with of you.

Start working out which may help you to begin feeling good about yourself.

Whenever I have a feel ugly and fat day, I haul my self to the gym. Endorphins are the best drug in the world

go to the gym?
eat better food?
expensive clothes?

Getting your hands on some money is probably the best option. Then buy yourself some expensive clothes and a nice car. After that, you won't have any problems with women. After all, they are remarkably superficial creatures.

Nice clothes, appealing personality. These things will help you go pretty far!

I always notice a well dressed man. In or out of type. After I notice the great outfit, then I notice the looks. And the outfit is 50 bonus points. A good personality is another 50 bonis points....so you are pretty ahead of the game with those 2 things.

Get in the gym and on the squat rack. Do squats with perfect form, until your thighs and glutes are throbbing. 5 or 6 sets of 8-10 reps should do nicely. Hit some lunges, bicep curls, bench presses, deadlifts, abs, and some cardio, and try to eat relatively healthy. Get some flattering clothes. I can pretty much GUARANTEE you that you will be looking better if you do not cheat on any exercises.

Unfortunately, looking better does not always translate to getting the ladies. In my case, i worked really hard on improving my looks but it has not resulted in success with women.
