How to groom yourself
In last week’s post, I’ve (hopefully) convinced you to groom yourself and manscape for a better sex life. I was originally planning on only talking about manscaping (especially around your dick), but I my toxic trait is I physically can’t address a topic non completely. Also, she’s having sex with you whole person, not only your dick, so.
I’ve also had way more women than I expected tell me they’ve met way more men than I expected who had dubious personal hygiene.
So today, let’s focus on general grooming, aka the things she’ll see before you’re naked.
Some things are gonna be more objective and dealbreakers for basically all women. Some will be more my personal guidelines to personal grooming, and a bit more subjective. You might have a different opinion, and of course you do whatever the fuck you want with your body. I’m just here to help if you’re a bit lost with that shit.
The non negotiables
These ones are gonna be easy, and I’m gonna sort them in order of importance.
Brush your fuckin teeth
If you want her to kiss that mouth, it better be clean and smell good. You only need two things :
Brush your teeth at least twice a day, and always before a date.
I recommend sonic electric toothbrushes, in my experience the most efficient, but you might not need it if your plaque doesn’t build up easily.Go to the dentist for a tartar removal as soon as you see some plaque on your teeth. Once a year for most people, but it might be twice a year for you. I personally need twice, cause I don’t know, genetics ? 🤷♂️
Take a fuckin shower everyday
For reasons that escape me, it seems I need to say it. You need to clean up everyday, or it’s very likely you’re gonna smell, especially down there.
Of course, it’s ok if you skip a few a year because you’re sick or hangover or depressed or something. Don’t got beating yourself up on this.
And when I say take a shower, I mean :
Use soap or shower gel or something, not just water
Actually scrub your whole body, including (especially) your asshole (I cannot believe I need to say this)
Wash your face too (with a dedicated product)
Wash your hair, not necessarily everyday, but at least every 2-3 days (the no shampoo tribe are gonna want me dead, but hey 🤷♂️ )
Change your fuckin clothes
Non negotiable : change your underwear and your socks every fuckin day.
Some people will say you need to change shirt everyday, but it depends a lot on how much you sweat, and what you do with your day. Every couple days is fine if you’re not very physically active.
Cut your nails
For a reason that completely escapes me, women apparently look at our hands a lot. I’m not entirely sure how sexy they are to them, but I’d say around the same as tits for us ? At the very least as much as their lower back. So yeah, quite a bit.
It kinda makes sense though. They can’t check out your dick, but they can check what’s gonna finger fuck them.
And also, we don’t have tits, so what would they look at, right ?
So if your nails are filthy, she WILL notice. 100%.
So cut your nails, and also file them, or at least make sure there’s no pokey bits. I’ve told you about that before in my second post about fingering : it could hurt them a lot, so pay attention.
How often ? Basically as soon as you see white. When they’re long enough to show white, they’ll start accumulating dirt from the day, and that looks gross. No woman wants that in her pussy.
Do the same with your toenails by the way. Sure, they’re not visible, but they can look even grosser.
Have a clean home
If you plan on bringing a girl home, please, for the love of pussy, have a clean place. You don’t need to have it absolutely perfect, but at least :
Have clean bed sheets
Do not let any food leftovers lying around
Have a clean bathroom and toilets
Do not let too much dust accumulate
Still important but not entirely a dealbreaker
Now, onto other things that are generally important, but are not always a dealbreaker. A lot of those things depends on your personality and life choices, and on her demographics.
To simplify :
Wearing perfume is probably way more important if you both live in the city and work in a creative industry, than if your passion is spending 5 days living in a tent and getting high in a music festival. What a woman expects depends a lot on who she is. Use common sense.
There are some general principles to dressing well, but there are many different styles that can work depending on your personality and community. I’m not saying to dress in a particular style, just to pay attention to it.
