Dress Nicely - It'll Benefit You Greatly!
Are you someone who doesn't put much thought into what you wear before leaving the house or attending an event?
While some people criticize others for taking too much pride in their appearance, neglecting your appearance can actually have negative consequences.
Looking good leads to feeling good, which in turn can lead to new opportunities. Today, I'll share some reasons why you should always dress well and take pride in your appearance.
In our society, men have to excel in many areas to be successful. As a woman, you can always find a man who will be in a relationship with you just for being there.
Even if you have no job, no goals, and three kids from different dads, you can still find someone to settle down with you.
For a man, it's more complicated. To attract women, you need to have a job, goals, money, a licence, a car, be funny, have charisma, and more - especially in the world of online dating.
A girl can now swipe left or right on you based on just a few photos and a bio that most likely nobody will read.
One thing I always do is dress nicely. 90% of the time, except when I'm just going to the shops late at night to get a snack.
Dressing nicely doesn't mean you have to wear a suit and tie everywhere, though.
It could be a well-fitting pair of jeans, nice shoes, and a plain white, black, or grey top.
I used to wear a lot of colors, but I've started to scale back on them lately. I still wear colors every now and then, but even wearing neutral colors can be effective.
I don't do this to be attractive to females. It's more of a thing I do for myself. When you dress nicely, you become more confident, and people take notice of you more.
People even smile more at you.
When you're confident in yourself, you put that energy out into the world. People like confident people who don't doubt themselves.
Dressing nicely opens doors to opportunities, not just in the sense of possibly meeting somebody of the opposite sex, but also in terms of general networking opportunities.
Every time I go to a wedding or an engagement party, multiple people come up to me during the day and compliment my outfit.
This leads to talking to them. They ask what you do for a living, you ask them. Then you get talking about general life.
I'm very much into crypto, so sometimes that comes up, and then we discuss investments.
Do you see where I'm going with this? They mention what investments they're into, and you can go check them out later and see what you think.
There have been multiple times when people have recommended investments to check out, and some of them look very promising.
I've also had people offer me jobs because we were talking for 10 minutes about life, where I work, and everything, and then they asked me to apply for a job and practically hired me on the spot.
I've been looking at buying an investment property lately, and to do that, I need my house to be valued at a certain amount of money to access equity in my property.
At a 40th party I went to recently, a lady came up to me and said, "I like your shirt." I replied, "Thank you," and asked where she was from. She then asked what I did for a living.
Turns out she was a real estate agent. I told her about my situation, that I needed my house to be valued at a certain price, and she said she could easily do that for me.
I haven't followed up on that offer yet, but it's something I'll definitely keep in mind when the time comes.
If you dress nicely, it gives off the impression of self-care and self-development. It shows that you're looking after yourself and your self-development.
People also give you more respect when you dress nicely. If you're putting effort into yourself, people can see that.
They can see that you care about your appearance and the energy you give out to the universe.
People who dress nicely are more than likely into self-development as well, so it lets people know that you work hard on yourself and demand respect from others.
Because you put the work into yourself, people know that.
If you're dressing nicely, you're opening yourself up to compliments and better first impressions.
It gives people a reason to approach you, and it shows that you're probably a friendly person who somebody can approach and have a good conversation with.
I've always been a shy, awkward, and reserved person.
A couple of years ago, I never used to approach people. But since I started dressing nicely, it's less intimidating. People seem more open to you going up to them to say hello.
It's always good to start a conversation with a compliment towards the other person. Just compliment something about them, and then they'll be even more open to conversation.
Grooming ties in with dressing nicely. If you're going to dress nicely, make sure you're well-groomed. This doesn't mean that you always have to be clean-shaven or whatever.
This could simply mean a neat, fresh haircut, a trimmed beard, or facial hair. Even just putting on one piece of nice jewelry, like a watch or a bracelet, can make a difference.
It doesn't make you less of a man or gay if you take pride in your appearance. Use face cream and skin cream, get a haircut, dress nicely. It'll actually make you more attractive to a lot of women if that's what you're hoping for.
Or even if you're just doing it for yourself, it'll make you feel 100x better about yourself.
