I see a lot of threads about frustrated Indian guys who have no luck with American women because they are too short, fat, bald, brown, hairy, etc. So I'm going to try to address every point. This guide is pretty general, so it's just for Indian guys. Anyone can use it; it's full of good reminders. If I missed something, comment below and I'll add it in.

1. Height

Height helps a lot. It's a big deal for some girls, but others don't care that much. For some girls height will make or break you and for other girls, again, they don't care too much. 6'0" in my opinion is the benchmark, 95% of girls will not complain; insisting on a dude taller than 6'0" is just greedy. 5'10" is pretty good too; you shouldn't have to worry about your height at this point; most girls will be down for you. 5'8" is ok too! You can definitely do work. And anything shorter than that is just considered short to girls. BUT THATS OK! Why? Because no matter how short you are, there will always be girls shorter than you. You can go for them! Being just a little taller or even the same height is enough for a lot of girls. You just have to own it. All 4' fucking 11" of it. You can't do much to change your height; it's not your fault so don't let it get you down. Be confident about it.

TL;DR: If you're short, don't worry. Be confident about it; own it. There will always be girls shorter than you.

2. Accent/Speech

Accent is a big deal. You probably already know English very well but speak with an accent. The Indian accent happens to be one of the easiest to understand, but unfortunately it's not the most attractive by a lot. Luckily, accents are trainable. You can sound like whoever you want. If you're going to be in the US for a while your accent will fade away with time anyway so why not just kick start the process by actively trying to sound like an American. Or a Brit for that matter, fuckit British accents are hot too. Practice. There are youtube videos for this. Listen to your favorite American actors' voices and repeat what they say how they say it. You can take improv/acting classes. Also, don't speak too quickly, take pauses, wait a little before responding to someone and speak softly and deeply. And don't forget to use articles! (a, an, the) Don't sound whiny and fast like an excited 14 year old. Yes it's awesome to feel excited about something and want to spill everything you know on it real quickly, but just relax. Slow down.

TL;DR: If you have an accent, that's fine. Accents are trainable. You can sound like an American. Practice. Movies, Youtube, and improve/Acting classes.

3. Hygiene

Take showers daily and WEAR FUCKING DEODERANT. This goes for everyone not just Indians, but for some reason Indians tend to smell worse. You may not think you smell, but other people notice it. Smelling bad is an instant turn off. Just wear deoderant. I recommend anything that says "Clinical Strength" on it. Old Spice, Gillete, and Degree are all good. Wear cologne too, just don't over-do it. One spray on one wrist, touch your wrists together, touch your neck with your wrists. When you shower, exfoliate, use a luffa. Use shampoo and conditioner when washing hair. Trim your finger nails every week. Brush your teeth and floss every night and morning; use a tongue scraper for fresh breath (I recommend BreathRX). Wear clean clothes. Don't recycle underwear man.

TL;DR: Brush, Shower, exfoliate, shampoo, trim nails and deoderant

4. Culture/Humor

You want to be culturally compatible with American girls. American humor is a bit different from Indian humor. What makes you laugh is not always what makes an American laugh. Start thinking Hollywood and not Bollywood. Yes Bollywood is awesome, but save that for Neflix and Chill. To learn American humor and culture I recommend sitcoms like Friend and How I Met Your Mother. Also, anything on Comedy Central is pretty good. The Daily Show is excellent.

5. Fitness

Check out /r/Fitness. Gym at least 3 days a week. Fitness is important. If you're too skinny, put on some weight Jason Blaha's 5x5 is great for beginners; Eat more calories than you burn. If you're too fat cardio, cardio, cardio; Eat less calories than you burn.

6. Hair

If you're severely balding just shave it all off. Bald > Balding. If you're bald as hell, just own it! Be confident about it. If you have a head with hair you need to find a good style for you and stick to you. Go to a salon and find a stylist; get their recommendation for your face shape/size. Keep facial hair neat. Shave your neck. If you can't grow a beard or its patchy as hell, I'd recommend going clean shaven. As far as body hair goes, its kind of split. A lot of girls really like chest hair, leg hair, etc and a lot just hate the fuck out of it and think it's gross. Do whatever you want. Trim or don't trim. You should find equal amounts girls that are down for body hair and girls that aren't. I think they both agree that overly hairy is unattractive. If you're a bear, go ahead and trim it. Trim/wax back hair. Trim an overly hair chest. Most girls should be fine with ass hair; have it too, but you can get that waxed if you want. Leave hair on your legs.

TL;DR: YMMV, highly situational. Shave your head if you're balding a lot. Trim overly hairy areas. Keep facial hair neat. Other than that just do what you prefer.

6. Fashion

Check out /r/malefashionadvice. Wear clothes that fit. Find your color. Buy basics and build a wardrobe that is versatile.

7. Mindset

If you're an Indian guy, you're probably smart as hell and have an awesome well paying job. That's great, you're already in better shape than a lot of guys out there. Be confident about it. Look at all your hard work and all you've accomplished thus far. You deserve to have pretty women in your life. You go and talk to whoever you want. If they're not into you, their loss and move on. You have nothing to lose by approaching hot women. You can only gain. So get out there and fucking kill it.
