Introduction: How to Look and Become More Attractive
(THis is my first instructable so please be nice.)Well I am a Junior in high school and I constantly see people that look terrible. Well I've decided to help those in need out. You can become more attractive in simple steps that are usually overlooked by us males. They may seem a bit feminine but do help out a good amount. Most of these are common sense though so here ya go.
Step 1: Shaving
First I have a small rule of thumb with facial hair and that is if you can't grow it all shave it off. Well as you can see it doesnt look to cool. From what i can tell it just maks me look dirtier and on most it does too.
Step 2: Hygenic Products
Hygiene is a very important matter with being attractive if you don't smell good you probably won't be as attractive and most likely others will be repulsed, its the truth so you have to accept it. I recommend an anti-perspirent deodorant because for one you do not want to stink and secondly you don't want to have a sweat mark on your T-Shirt. Other products I recommend using are as follows Body clear body wash by neutrogena because if you sweat more and are outside often your pores can become clogged which causes the build up of bacne(he he aren't I clever). Another must is cutips dirty ears are bad and gross.Also shampoo and conditioner because if not washed regularly it will cause your hair to become greasy and start to stink. Cologon and finally face wash I use clearasil and it works the best for me because it is an exfoliating wash. Oh yea chap stick is also important for attractive lips.
Step 3: Teeth
Girls love smiles and I love my smile and I brush my teeth everyday. To obtain a whiter smile you truly don't need to go out and purchase 40 dollar whitening strips, instead I recommend buying Crest Vivid White tooth paste Act restoring mouth wash and a decent tooth brush. remember when brushing your teeth it is not nesscasary to brush to hard only that you brush thoroughly getting your tongue and behind your teeth.
Step 4: Uni-brow
I know plenty of guys that have that nasty looking uni-brow and that is one of the main reasons that i have wrote this instructable. While I do not posess on of these horrid things like I said I know many who do. To solve this problem simply pull out those handy tweezers. When doing it do not reshape your eyebrows just take out that unibrow. To do this pluck line up your eyebrow with your tear duct and simply remove all in the middle after youve lined it up. If you want to make it more natural simply add a small curve where you lined it up at. The example is in the picture. You can also take off all the hair ath the far end of you eye brow that does not seem to merge with it at all. This does not make you a homo either because i get many compliments from girls about my eyebrows. Soon after you keep them managed the hair should soon become harder and harder to see. Alternatively you can get a girl to do it for you.
Step 5: Grooming
As you can tell by now I have very little hair so if you are like me make sure it is all equal size if not it will look fairly stupid. This is not hard to do all you have to do is inbetween hair cuts is take a pair of hair cutting clippers and trim it all one size. yo can also trim up side burns while your at it
Step 6: Conclusion
these are some simple steps that are usually over looked so just take and try them and you should be able to start pulling the girls a little bit better so enjoy the benefits from a better looking face

This is helpful, considering your provide strait up instructions and good examples. I just realized that I have been starting to grow a uni-brow. I am getting it removed tomorrow with tweezers, and after thinking about it, I see girls stare and then look in a upwards direction like looking at my forehead. Guess that's why women are getting turned off.

The only thing I would add to this is how to take care of your nails. I cannot tell you how many times I've thought somebody was attractive only to look at their hands (which are REALLY important by the way), and see long, dirty nails. Eugh! I know many other girls feel the same way.

Or worse-short, dirty, scraggly nails. I used to bite my nails a lot but I recently kicked that habit and I feel and look much better.

Nice job, buddy. I especially like your tip not to grow facial hair unless you can. You're right -- scraggly sparse whiskers just look like dirt. Resist the urge to show what (little) you've got, and wait until you have some manly beardage.

I also suggest plucking those nose and ear hairs that older guys get. I have seen some really nasty looking noses. Women do it, I see no reason men shouldn't.

Just be careful of the harmful (not FDA proven.... like that means much) effects of anti-perspirent deoderants that contain bad aluminum compounds. Do some searches and you'll see. I'd rather be healthy than smell fantastic because of my deoderant.

Correlation is not causation. Scaremongering is irresponsible (and in some cases, downright dangerous).
There is little evidence for aluminium as a deadly toxin. However, I don't expect people to take my word for it, I do expect them to go and do their research and make their own informed decisions on the matter. If anyone says "X causes Y" and doesn't have a shred of evidence for it, then you should treat that statement with scepticism.
Of course a person saying "Don't use antiperspirant and you'll never get Alzheimer's" is going to be more popular than the person who says "We have little idea what causes Alzheimer's, and as such there is no precaution we can suggest against it". The simple fact is that most complex problems don't have simple solutions, and people love a scapegoat.

I wouldn't say that I'm "scaremongering" about getting diseases. I am just saying that I'd rather err on the side of caution on this one, based on what studies have been done. (looking at aluminum concentrations and alzheimer's; linking antiperspirants to clogged sweat glands and lymph problems; etc.) Jeeez. We're just talking about deodorant. And I never said that aluminum is a deadly toxin. If anyone says "X causes Y" then you should worry, because NOTHING has a single cause/effect relationship unless you narrow your view of the systems down to exclude all the other factors.

You urge caution against the harmful effects of bad aluminium compounds - if that is not a statement about toxicity then what is?
Then you dump on the FDA without anything to back up that statement except your own fears, and without any valid contrary evidence - if that isn't scaremongering then what is?
You are making a claim as to the safety of antiperspirants containing aluminium - I cannot see how that could possibly be disputed.
The only point that is really relevant is whether your statements have any veracity. The very fact that you claim that nothing has a single cause effectively shoots down your warning - what causes the problem? Antiperspirant + X? Without knowing what X is you cannot understand what is causal and what is correlated. Knowing that, how could you possibly give any warning in good faith?
Additionally, it is exactly by narrowing our focus that we can gain insights into root causes, but as demonstrated so plainly here, to focus on one detail to the exclusion of all others is to reach a flawed conclusion (ie. aluminium is present in increased concentrations in the brains of those suffering from Alzheimer's disease, therefore aluminium causes Alzheimer's). If you truly wish to err on the side of caution I would suggest this is the place to start.

This is so silly. I have no idea why you're being so abrasive and argumentative, rather than trying to elicit healthy discussion and exploration of the topic. I should clarify that I never said aluminum compounds are DEADLY toxins (when ingested/used as prescribed). The FDA isn't always necessarily right. Bisphenol A and Vioxx are examples and there are others. The FDS is not infallible. That's all I meant. Just because someone says that something is completely healthy and safe (or that health effects are unknown) doesn't mean that you shouldn't be skeptical. There are probably tons of consumer products that we use daily with side effects that won't be known for another decade. We just don't know. That's the point. The evidence isn't completely substantiated. But it's better to go with the safe bet. I never told anyone to go throw rocks at Old Spice HQ for trying to kill people, I just said "be careful," which, to me, would mean "look into it." As to causation: I never claimed that deoderant is the only cause of anything. I'd go as far as to say that I fundamentally believe that "root causes" don't exist, and I don't recall ever stating otherwise. nice avatar, btw.
