Any suggestions on how I find a place that can offer some good advice? I've always gone cheap on my haircuts ($10-$15). I work with a woman that is trying to get a singing career established and she uses the services on an image consultant. The funny thing is I saw pictures of her when she was in her late teens and competing in beauty pagents. She wasn't bad looking, but she has let herself go and she freely admits it. She eats like an absolute horse and sits on her ass. She says she thinks she actually has good metabolism, given her food intake and activity level and I believe her. It makes me sick to see someone like her wasting her life away like that, when I have to slave myself to lose even a pound. Anyway, the point I was getting at was I asked her hohw much an image consultant would charge to sit and talk with me about things I could do to my appearance. She told me for a simple consultation, I'd be looking at $500-$1,000. To actually reccommend really specific changes, like going shopping for new clothes, getting the new hair style, etc., the fees would total anywhere between $5,000-$10,000 for a day or two. Needless to say, I about fell over. So, I would be open to what a $40 stylist had to offer, in terms of advice.
Get a tan....nothing extreme like George Hamilton but a tan is healthy and tells girls that you are outdoorsy not some guy locked up all day in front of a computer....you can even try those tanning creams...I have no experience with them but they should work well....
The creams aren't too bad in terms of results. But they can be a little expensive for regular use for someone like myself that does not have a lot of money to spare. In addition, one has to apply them and then let them dry completely for about two hours. If a person uses them twice a week then that's about six hours out of his week, given application time and the time that you spend walking around naked, but not being able to touch or do anything. I'm not making any excuses, but just discussing my experiences.
As for a real tan, I'd love to do that, except for one thing. Certain parts of my skin really freckle heavily. Thank goodness my face is not too bad. I could get some sun and my face would look relatively uniform in color, but my forearms, shoulders, and most of my body would get dense with freckles. I know these days freckles can be treated with lasers, but I assume the process is cost prohibitive for the average person. Another thing to consider is that they might just come back in other spots on the body, or even return on the same places, with additional exposure to the sun. I have thought about taking the worst areas of my freckles and just tattooing the freckles into oblivion. Naturally, some women would find that appealling and many would not. One of the greatest benefits to natural tanning is that I could actually build-up enough tolerance to sunlight that I may be able to go out into the sun and not burn like a lobster within 15 minutes. I know most of you don't know quite what it's like to have that kind of complexion, but let's just say it sucks major ass.
Girls are not as into looks as guys. Sure when they see Brad Pitt they get excited but the personality is far more important. Looks might make it easier to get her attention but once you've got it its time to play the game right.
You really think so? Huh. I always had them pegged as hypocrites on this issue. I've heard women say that looks are not that important and I've heard men like yourself say that is what they think. But it seems in practice they're as bad or worse. I have seen countless good girls that exude all the right qualities and seem to have the mature outlook on the important qualities talk about how they just want an honest, caring, sensitive, blah-blah guy and two weeks later you learn they're dating the biggest asshole stereotypical jock on campus.
A fucking low-life on death row still has some positive qualities but the truth is girls want to discover the good qualities within the men they are ATTRACTED TO....so they key is to attract them first....don't think of some friend's first BS either thats the way women think....from now on YOU ARE A MAN...that means you know what you want and go after it directly....none of this fucking nice guy puppy dogs and ice cream shit...that doesn't mean you have to become some rude classless jerk but it does mean that you don't hide or stomp out your sexual side....
I think that is some pretty good advice and I'll have to start implementing that into my life.
