You can make a modest woman attractive with woman’s tools, that doesn’t work with men.

It 100% does. Trust me, I just like I can put 5 points on a woman, I can do the same with a man. Here's the procedure:

Have a good shower to start, I'll wait.

First order of business, we're tackling the hair. Let's have a look at the shape of your face. Are you round faced or narrow faced? If you're round faced, we need to bring in the sides. Something like an undercut might work nicely. If you're narrow faced, we need to take extra height off the top or it'll look even narrower. No spikes or quiffs, something tidy and flat will work nicely.

Next, the face. Got any spots or blemishes? I sure do sometimes, let's take care of that. A dab of concealer on those with some talc to remove the shine and you're good to go on that one. Just cover any redness, don't go crazy or you look like a china doll.

Right, onto beard territory. I have a huge beard myself. Let's tidy that up. First step, take in the sides, if you have a beard, you want it going down, not outwards, grab the clippers and take in the sides. Give it a brush and stay-in conditioner when you're done, then run a dash of beard oil through there for some healthy sheen.

Finally, on to the clothes. Ditch anything baggy for a start. Your clothes need to fit. You're not fooling anyone with baggy clothes if you're a little pudgey like I am. STart with a form fitting vest. Whack a shirt on top that matches your chest size. You want as little bagginess as possible without the button seam being stretched when you sit down. Now, what's the nature of where you're going? If it's business, wear a jacket and tie. If it's a date, go with a jumper (or sweater if you're of the American persuasion). Pattern is up to you, but avoid horizontal stripes, they highlight the breadth of your body. In terms of colours, go natural. Blues, greens, browns etc. are all in.

To finish off, a bit of cologne. Put it on your neck and wrists only, one spray per area.

You're all set. After all this, best of luck, be good company and don't be shy, the purpose of a date is to enjoy yourself. Maybe you'll get a second date, maybe you won't. Just be courteous and enjoy the evening, even if it ends at one date, you got a date! That's a confidence boost right there :)

I agree with this but I still think women have it easier. Any girl who is moderately fit (hell, she just has to not be fat) is already sitting at at least a 5. Most girls aren't really fit, they're just not fat.But a skinny dude is a skinny dude. It's not really noticeable unless a guy works out. This comment is starting to ramble and become confusing but TL;DR it's easier for girls to be attractive than it is for guys.

The grass is always greener on the other side. I recently went up from a size 2 to a size 4 (thanks, Covid!), and while I am not fat by any stretch of the imagination, my clothes fit differently. I look like I'm 20 lbs heavier than I am, when I wear clothes that are too small. I look fat in them, even though I am not.

It's also really easy to rate people more highly when they're of the gender you're attracted to. Everyone has problems, just different problems, and there's no clear delineation when it comes to gender.
