Grrooming for Men

OK gentlemen heres some advice for you guys.

Grooming is ok for men. Its desirable so dont be annoyed when you get up in the morning and go through this routine.

Good looks begins with good health.

  1. Quit smoking
  2. Eat well balanced diet
  3. Lose weight. (Stay within your scientifically determined ideal weight)
  4. Drink at least 2-3 litres of water a day.
  5. Use cosmetics if necessary
  6. Look after your skin, especially your face.
  7. Keep your hair well maintained.
  8. Exercise.
    So here goes.

Smoking is bad

  1. causes bad breath
  2. Reduces ability of oxygen absorption.
  3. destroys suppleness of skin.
    Healthy eating is good for health, remember women select the most healthiest men subconsciously. So excercise, if you excercise regularly it will show especially on your face, which will glow, making you look more attractive.

Loose weight fatboy, cause women select the healthy guys, and fat equals unhealthy. The following supplements to help control appetite.

  • Chromium
  • Iodine (Seaweed is excellent source)
  • Hoodia Gordonii
    Drink 2-3 litres of water a day, water is the best moisuterizer for your skin and it lubricates your body, you sweat more so more pheromones being pumped out your body.

Use cosmetics. Nothing wrong with that,

  1. Wash your face twice a day, with exfoliating face wash.
  2. Tone you skin, even after a shave do it, with a facial toner, this removes soap and other stuff which block pores on your skin. Blocked pores means your going to get spots, lumps and acne on your face.
  3. Apply a moisuturizing cream expensive stuff is not any better then moderately priced stuff, go for something high in Vitamin E45.
  4. Good skin begins with looking after the inside of your body. Take supplements, such as amino acids, or Niacin (nicotinimide) these prevent bacteria which causes spots and acne.
    Guys if you got marks on your face, use a concealer (eraser) after moisuturizing to cover that, choose one closest to your skin colour.

keep your hair nice, well cut and styled. Shiny hair is a sign of good health. So use conditioner suitable for your hair after shampoo. use a good hair styling gel, cream or wax. And dont forget to smell nice as well, agood cologne never hurt anyone.

And excercise, do aerobic excercise such as running or cross training to loose weight 3-4 times a week, for 45 minutes. Body building thats your choice.

Yes and dress nice, make sure your clothes are colour and style coordinated.

And listen to heavy metal, after a couple of days, you will get the right attitude to impress.

Great post habib!

I’m guilty of letting myself gain too much weight. I have started to cut my weight a week ago after I’ve been on the scale for the first time in months. The numbers showing have been shocking - 10 years ago I have sworn myself to never ever reach a weight beyond 100kg again (I’ve been 106kg at age 20 - lost a lot of weight over the following years and reached 80kg at 25. Now I’m back at almost the same weight as in my late teens). I will start hitting the gym again today, doing weight training and some cardio. And will stay at it. I’ve set myself the goal to reach 90 kg on New Years Eve…

My diet has become worse and worse over the last months and years. I had become a vegetarian 10 years ago, been a vegan for 3 years and even a raw vegan for half a year. And it all felt great. But in the last time I’ve begun to eat more and more unhealthy with tons of fatty pizzas and lots of sweet stuff. This will stop immediately!

Oh, btw - a great natural appetite diminisher is drinking some Mate the south-american way: Looots of mate and a little water. Gives you a constant energy kick because of the caffeine in it that is set free constantly over a longer time (coffee gives only a short heavy boost) and kills the appetite…

A good supplement for skin problems could be zinc (I hope that’s the english word for it) - it has helped me a lot. But the best for my skin has always been lots of sun exposure - throughout the winter my skin looks not that great, but during the summer it is absolutely clean. I guess I should hit a solarium regularly during winter…

So long story short: Great timing for the post as I have just decided to transform myself again into a lean healthy being. Thanks for the tipps!!!

Umm what is “Mate” Bob. I tried to google it but somehow I dont think thats what you intended us to drink LOL. :open_mouth:

It’s actually called Yerba Mate - a hot drink (just like tea) made out of the leaves of a south american tree. It’s the national drink of Argentinia - they drink the stuff all day long…

About the tree:
Yerba mate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

About the drink:
Mate (beverage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Though I have a gourd and bombilla I mainly prepare the stuff in a french press - it’s a little easier that way. But from time to time drinking it the tradiitional way is just adding some culture to it… :smiley:

I hope that helped!

Yes it did thank you :stuck_out_tongue:

Glad to be of service my dear… :slight_smile:

Edit:
If you want to try it be warned - the taste isn’t for everyone! :wink: The sentence “The drink has a pungent taste like a cross between green tea and coffee, with hints of tobacco and oak.” in wikipedia doesn’t sound very tasty, does it? :smiley: My favourite version has quite a strong tobacco taste, but you get used to it with time…

I concur! I got into listening to heavy metal about 4 years ago and listen to nothing but that! If anyone wants some tips/advice on some AWESOME music hit me up. If you subscribe to XM radio check out channel forty-fuckin-two (Liquid Metal aka XMLM [42])

Here are some HOT bands that just rock, hands down. (In no paticular order)

Make sure you keep a distance of at least 17 yards from anyone listening to the following:

My Chemical Romance
HIM
Underoath

and any bands associated with them.

That’s EXACTLY how it tastes, hehe. I haven’t gotten a bombilla and gourd yet, though of all places, ThinkGeek.com sells them and I’ve been meaning to buy one. I get bottles of the stuff at Fred Meyer (Kroger for those of you in the midwest and east coast) in the organic foods section. Someone once asked me how it tastes and I said “Take some green tea and soak a cigarette in it.” Despite how BLECH! that sounds, the taste grows on you and the overall feeling you get is wonderful. It’s like a good quality energy drink without the crash 2 hours later.

Yepp, it’s better than any energy drink I’ve ever tried! You have lots of energy throughout the day with a very steady curve and no sudden drop. My favourite brand is Rosamonte - the strongest I could find…

I dont know sounds yucky LOL.

I better stick to step arobics and crunches LOL

If you want to drink something, try Green Tea.

Green Tea is an excellent source of anti oxidants and contains natural fat burning properties which help dieting and weight control.

Try this from Celestial Seasonings:
Morning Thunder® Tea

Our tea masters have always known the value of a great blend. Morning Thunder is no exception. This spirited and earthy combination of moutain-grown black tea and yerba maté, a South American herb, is sure to give you the lift you need to get in gear – without the coffee jitters. After all, maté is the morning beverage of choice in Latin America. And with maté’s antioxidant benefits, you’re doing something good for yourself with each tasty sip. Pour a cup and charge your day!

No cigarette taste (as far as I can tell – I don’t smoke!):stuck_out_tongue:

Good God sounds like the opening of the return of the living dead.

I looked for Morning Thunder today at the market no luck. Do you special order it or is it in the store with the rest ?

I will give Trader Joes a try they may have it.

I’ve seen Morning Thunder at Wal-Mart off and on. Last time I ordered online from Celestial Seasonings (3 bucks for a box of 20 teabags).

Dude… you’re missing Warrant, if for nothing else, Cherry Pie

-D4

Even though I’m lucky in that department, I’d still say no.

I absolutely love the stuff.

I’ve seen those 5 in concert. Lamb of God is retardedly overrated. Amon Amarth is coming back to town and I’m quite excited.

While I concur there is some real terrible music out there can we keep the music taste elitistism out of the discussion?

I’m going to the HIM concert, but just to see Bleeding Through open :slight_smile:

I loooove Opeth! But haven’t heard much of the rest, although I might have seen some of them at some metal festival. I’m more into ProgMetal…
