Yes, "every guy" can afford to have his "own place".

UPDATE:

Holy crap, guys. Thanks for all the reads! I hope it was helpful for everyone. If you have critiques or things you think should be addressed, feel free to PM me.

My blog is an ongoing project, so I'm always interested to hear other people's takes.

EDIT:

tl;dr for anyone who doesn't want to click through:

1) Be fit.

2) Be well groomed/styled.

3) Be confident

4) Speak clearly, directly, and concisely.

5) Have a circle of really fun, equally driven and interesting male friends.

6) Have some good looking female friends that you’re not attracted to (who also aren’t attracted to you), who are also fun.

7) Make your time valuable by being busy with what you love.

8) Have your own place.

9) Know how to cook.

10) Be competent at some sort of hobby, be it music, dancing, sports, etc.

I seem to be referring a lot of people in the relationships subreddit to this blog post I wrote.

Figured it might help some aspiring Rico Suaves out there.

Let me know what you think, Reddit!

I understand trying to improve as a person, but doing it in the name of attraction to me is idiotic. Dont change your lifestyle to adopt new cooking recipes and clothes to get laid. Fuck that. If your happy with the life you are living than youll get laid anyway because happyness breeds alot of the qualities people find attractive anyway.

I hate this bullshit about how guys need to mould themselves into a person with certain 'qualifying' traits. It pisses me off to be honest that men feel its neccessary in order to get laid thanks to superficial garbage like this and that women actually look for such particular characteristics in each guy. People are unique, so look at them that way, instead of clumping them into your mental image that forces almost all of them to be at least partially, something they are not. Men do the same thing, its not one sided, but because we are on the topic of men making changes...

Rant over.

Some minor criticisms or clarifications...

One shouldn't be doing crunches or calf raises necessarily to get in shape. If you want strong abs, the plank might be better. And calfs can be built up just be running uphill or hiking, no need to focus on them specifically. You might want to add body weight squats too for the fitness test.

Flossing is good in general and shouldn't be optional.

Speaking clearly is good for texting/emails too. Dont rite like dis.

Pretty good read, I've been meaning to get some better looking cloths for wearing, any suggestions for stores? I was thinking a place like JC Penny, or maybe a bit overpriced, but Men's Warehouse.

I was going to hate on this list until I noticed it was a long article that explained each point. I enjoyed the content and your style of no-bullshit narrative. Learned a couple new perspectives too, nice post!

Basmustquitatart · 2012-06-20T06:04:22+00:00

Great write up but as a guy who prides himself in how he dresses I feel like the clothes chunk is lacking a bit... "I wear everything on the slimmer side, and straight leg or boot cut." This for example...Never buy boot cut pants. You should almost always go for Slim/Straight or Skinnes if you have really really thin legs.

Also other parts aren't specific. As always /r/malefashionadvice is a great resource for beginners. I can post some other resources if Seddit is interested.

that is the most vague thing ive ever read

Just a note on the suits:

If you can only afford one, go with a dark navy. If you can afford two, navy and grey. Not black!

tlm2021 · 2012-06-20T05:39:15+00:00

I don't agree with a lot of the philosophy of r/seduction, and I think sometimes the 'inner game' thing gets said a lot, but isn't actually the motivation or spirit behind the advice.

But this was brilliant. Truly a guide to making you a happier person, and explaining how the relationships follow.

TL,DR: 1. Be attractive 2. Don't be unattractive.

itsmevichet · 2012-06-20T19:39:55+00:00

Have some good looking female friends

Check!

that you’re not attracted to

how will this happen???

policeandthieves · 2012-06-20T22:01:02+00:00

I wish I could satisfy #6.

Fucking oneitis man.

mrpopenfresh · 2012-06-20T04:29:58+00:00

That list might as well be "Be attractive". The problem is attaining those goals, getting a group of male stud friends isn't easy, for instance.
