How would you go about maximizing your looks?

[Irish Turtle]

I know already about dropping bodyfat and lifting I went from 230 pounds and skinnyfat to 200 pounds of muscle with a layer of fat around it.

 

[McMitch]

230 pounds and skinnyfat

Bro unless you’re 7 foot, you weren’t skinny fat, you were just fat.
If your weightloss is legit, good job on the good work. Otherwise, lolfat.

 

[MadStan]

I went from 175 pounds to 210 and have never had more action in my life.

 

[Pee Cola]

Wear clothes that fit properly, and consider investing in a suit (or at the very least a sports coat).

 

[Trump's Chosen]

Be 20 again.

 

[John Badman]

I bonesmash every night before bed to look my sigmabest.

 

[Owlbear]

Eat less and do cardio. Gym at least 1 hour a day. Get a blood boy so you can age in reverse.

Everyone knows how to do this, not everyone wants to.

Don't wear disgusting clothes with stupid slogans on them, shitty boring drab coloured poor quality hoodie and shit.
Get a few decent pairs of proper shoes and boots.
Don't have disgusting facial hair, like, if u must have a beard don't have trailing little bits up the cheeks and under the neck. Trim and shape the edges. Decent haircut that actually suits the shape of your head. It's amazing how bad so many barbers are at looking at a man's head an shaping appropriately. Turks tend to be good at this, don't let them go too short tho. They will also clean up little bits like nose and ear hair and shit.
Get some nice aftershave. A little bit. A man smelling nice is great, and not that common.
Get some contact lenses or at least decent glasses. By which I mean not shitty rectangular plastic framed ones. But best off to just not have them. It looks lame and dysgenic as fuck when everyone in a group has glasses.

Not wearing them also changes your body language and comfortabilty with physicality. Not being conscious that you need to move your head a certain way or that you have to avoid rough and tumble, is big.

Get a NICE fedora, a good black duster (a long trench coat), some cool Rick&Morty t-shirts and khaki cargo shorts. Trust me, women love when you tip your fedora at them and say "m'lady" when you hold the door open for them. The Rick&Morty t-shirs will let females know that they are in the presence of an euphoric and enlightened man. Nothing gets a female wetter than talking about pop-science shit. Wear cargo shorts year round. Females will see your bare legs in the middle of winter as a sign of your manliness and pure masculinity.

I usually Shave and put on jeans and a shirt without holes. I guess I'd put on my nice shoes too.

Also, when I worked a job lifting stone every day and chain smoked I was pretty ripped and decently strong. You could try that. Though the brown stains on the fingers from the cigarettes are a bit unsightly.

You need money if you want to do anything more than losing weight, basically. If you're bald you can probably pay for hair transplants, or if you have bad teeth you can pay for implants, etc. You can really go from low tier to mid pretty easily.

There's a few things money can't really fix, like height and dick size, but nobody's perfect.

if u must have a beard don't have trailing little bits up the cheeks and under the neck. Trim and shape the edges.

I will mild disagree here. In my experience having a beard that looks like it just naturally grows in well with just a bit of light scruff on the neck and cheeks is better than having super sharp and clean edges surrounded by smooth skin. I'm sure it's regional but I get a much better response when I put a lot of effort into making it look like I put no effort in than when I try to have it immaculate. Basically I try to look like I had a job interview or date or something last week and this week doesn't matter. Not to say don't shape it, but I have six separate zones for my beard that all get cut either in different lengths, faded, or cut in a different way that leaves the zone with a different texture and leaves the areas looking like they grow at different rates

To get the perfect amount of neck scruff I put the 1 guard on my trimmer and then flip the trimmer upside down and drag it along my neck with the grain (in the direction that the hairs are pointing, primarily down in my case). The trimmer grabs some hairs when you do this and yanks them so be prepared for that, which further thins out the already relatively thin hair of my neck. Of the hairs that remain the cut on them is very inconsistent, some are cut all the way down to the 1 (1/8") and most are a hair longer. I do a few passes until there's nothing left that's too long.

For the upper cheeks, definitely take your time and get a good shape, my beard is a bit taller on one side so I have to be careful not to leave it taller and unsymmetrical, I can't just trace along the thickest part. I just use the bare clipper blades to do this, intentionally leaving behind a bit of stubble. This is the only real maintenance I do between full trims (about two weeks). I don't like to use the foil blade or a razor to smooth this out, it just doesn't work for me

After that it's just about figuring out your beard. My moustache has gotten better over the years, but when I was younger it sucked. Trimming it a bit shorter than the rest of the beard and fading it in to the chinstrap did a lot to hide its suckage. Same for below the lower lip in the soul patch region, I trim it a bit shorter and then fade it into the chin. With a good fade it just makes these two areas look like they grow slower than the rest of your beard. My moustache looks fine these days but I still prefer it shorter, and my lower lip was always fine but again I prefer it shorter and faded

My chin hair is a bit lighter than the rest of my beard, to hide that I just leave it a bit longer than the cheeks and fade it in so it doesn't look like I'm trying to grow a goatee, usually just one guard up is enough to hide the difference in color. Sometimes I'm in the mood for the goatee-in-progress look though so I'll just leave it faded in and shaped up a bit but without trimming the entire area

Probably the most important part of this method though is that you cannot do this day of. Your beard hairs (and hairs in general) grow in at different speeds so if you do this in the morning and then head out to tackle your day with the different zones all being precisely uniform in length it just looks like you didn't finish shaving your neck/cheeks. You can (and should) trim the cheek stubble and that will look fine immediately but everything else needs a recovery period. It's kinda like how you should always get a haircut a few days before you need to look nice, but even more important imo. Mine is ok-ish the next day but not 100% until the second day, I usually do the trimming on a friday evening so it has time to recover before the next week

As far as lengths go, it depends on how fresh my haircut is, but I generally use a 2 or 3 from the sideburns to the chin, 3-4 on the chin, 1 on the moustache and soul patch, and usually a backwards 1 on the neck scruff, though my new clippers have a 1/2 (and 1 1/2) guard which I've started using when I go short on the rest of the beard. If your guards just have lengths rather than a number, multiply each number by 1/8", so the 1 is 1/8", 2 is 1/4", 1/2 is 1/16", etc. For the bare clippers on the upper cheek I actually have a second set of smaller clippers that cut a bit closer/smoother than my main clippers. My main clippers came with a smaller set of detail clippers but I had a nice set of detail clippers already that I just stuck with. I recommend corded clippers if you're on a budget, they just cut way better for half the price, but if you want cordless ones make sure to get a nice set that runs on lithium batteries rather than nimh, nimh ones are always junk. You may have to pay attention when you're shopping to make sure you don't buy the wrong ones, Wahl at least used to sell identical looking sets of detail clippers, the only difference between them was the battery inside and the charger

I've heard good things about DIY earlobe surgery.

my weightloss is legit I got the stretchmarks to prove it. I say skinnyfat since I have weird genetics my arms were noodle thin but my belly and face were bulging out from the fat. My favorite thing so far about weightloss is being able to see my jawline and take off my shirt without embarassing myself.

you forget the sexy cumstains on the rick and morty t shirt (cumstains get all the ladies wet)

 

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

One bottle of whiskey a day, a few lines of cocaine, and a dorito. Maybe two doritos or even a pack of ramen if you want to reward yourself for being a gud boi. Follow that diet for a few months, and you'll be the most popular guy at the bar or the sex resort or wherever you go.

Ever since Null got rid of reaction scores it's been rough going for me. Now my best luck with wooing the ladies has been showing off my knowledge of Chris Chan lore.

Go outside and get some sun. A little bit of color can do wonders to make you not look like a gooning hermit/cancer patient.

Who'd have thunk there was so much to having a beard.
I suppose that's basically what I meant but without the level of knowledge.

A lot of blokes just let uneven scruff grow over their face and it looks so so bad.

But I'm mainly anti beard due to various physical injuries and embarrassment that got me like Thatch'
