How to be an Attractive Man
An appreciated bestseller praised by readers and self-help professionals! "A one-hour read that will give you a lifetime of good habits" Michelle Sterling, PCS "How to be an Attractive Man" is a book for men of any age who are searching for simple, timeless, effective, and self-reliant ways to feel and look better. It consists of 101 easy to implement tips that have been divided into seven sections, applying respectively to face, body, personality, mind, clothing, hygiene & grooming, and living habits. From the Some time ago, being a perfectly ordinary-looking guy, I was searching for methods to improve my appearance and found an ocean of ideas, tricks, tips, and advice, some obstreperous, some easy, some ridiculous, some brilliant. And some even depended on quasi-psychological ways to influence other people's minds, which is complete nonsense. That search gave me food for thought, which in turn persuaded me to write this guide because I wanted to select the methods that are the simplest, most effective, and depend entirely on you. When you want someone to become interested in you, you usually think about how to make her (or him) find you attractive. That is, you start thinking about how to deal with the way they see you, and that approach is - and will always be - wrong. That's why this is not a handbook on how to deal with people, but a guide on how to deal with yourself. The only way for others to find you attractive is to become so. This is a book that aims to show you how to achieve that.

Okay, I have to admit I am not the "intended" audience for this book, since I am not a MAN looking to be more attractive. Sometimes I just want to check interestingly titled books out though, especially if they are short e-books. Occasionally I will find a real gem, more often I don't, and sometimes, as in this case, I laugh so hard that my drink comes out my nose. But I digress.
I have read magazine articles similar to this on grooming and health tips for women. This short e-book, which could be a magazine article, contains 101 tips for MEN, on how to become more attractive to women or men, whichever their preference. The book states in the introduction, " When you want to catch someone’s interest, you usually think how to make her (or him) find you attractive." So I will give the book credit for being not discriminatory, and catering to both straight and gay men.
The book then goes on to list tips to becoming more attractive, in the areas of facial care, body care, personality, mind, clothing, hygiene and grooming, and living habits. Some area pretty basic. Some could be of value to men. Some make women like myself laugh hysterically.
On the topic of facial care, the dreaded unibrow is covered.
"Maintain your eyebrows properly. The eyes are the most important feature of your face. They channel your emotions, and they can generally tell everything about you, whether you want it or not. They are also the feature others pay most attention to. Eyes are surrounded by your eyebrows, and believe me, their proper grooming can make all the difference. Once a week, take small tweezers and pluck out any hair that is too far from the main line (over or under the main line of eyebrows). And now the most important thing – remove everything directly over your nose, therefore eliminating the dreaded unibrow. The only guy who looks well with an unibrow is Bert from Sesame Street, and only then if you are into puppets."
On the topic of body care, the dreaded beer belly is covered.
"Try to reduce the beer belly. No matter what kind of posture you have, it always looks terrible. If you are a big guy, there are chances that your belly is also quite big, proportionally. If you are skinny – a big belly looks even worse. (Actually, I have a one small and skinny friend with a big beer belly, and trust me – it looks dreadful.)"
On the topic of personality, I did smile at this bit of advice:
"Read at least one book per month. This is essential. Even in the age of new technologies, most people who have something interesting to say are still writers. If you do not read, you are missing an infinite treasure trove of knowledge, fun, adventure, and emotion. Take the simplest approach: find a trustworthy source of information (a literary review journal or a website, a knowledgeable friend, etc.) buy or borrow and read at least one of the recommended books a month. This way you will be reading works of different authors, topics and styles, and will have at least a basic background in literature, contemporary or otherwise. Being well read will enable you to feel comfortable in a conversation about literature. And if you are asked if you have read anything interesting lately, you can truthfully say yes."
On the topic of mind, where the author states the brain is your "sexiest organ", male readers are given this charming bit of advice:
"Do not follow the majority blindly. "Citizens, eat shit! Millions of flies cannot be wrong." Oh, but they can."
But my FAVORITE areas were yet to come!
Next we learned clothing tips, where men are given this advice about their underwear:
"Change your underwear to black. It makes you look fitter but most importantly, all the possible stains will be barely visible. There is nothing worse than visibly dirty underwear noticed by your partner while you two are already in the middle of an intimate situation."
Then in the hygiene section our male readers learn about grooming of their private areas!
"This may sound a bit risque, but be brave and remove any excessive amount of hair on your private areas. You can choose between shaving them off or trimming them with clippers. Nobody on earth likes a neglected jungle in these parts. Having them removed will make your private parts look more esthetically pleasing and you will greatly reduce a risk of unpleasant smells. For some people there is also another huge benefit: male private parts look optically bigger when shaved."
I have to admit at this point I was laughing so much I could barely finish the book.
Admittedly, there may be an audience for this e-book. There may be metrosexuals, or gay men, who would appreciate all the tips this author has to offer them.
Or it could just be a good way for women like myself to get a really good laugh. Because it was hilariously, eye-rollingly funny!
