Regarding watches, there are a ton of watches around $50-60 range that you can wear as accessory. Most people don't care, let alone ask, what kind of watch you're wearing. It doesn't have to be expensive. I have 7 watches that I match to whatever I'm wearing. Casual to work.

Doesn't matter if you're a man or woman, if you're considered attractive or ugly- knowing what looks good on you can make a world of difference. What looks great on someone else may not necessarily look good on you, no matter it's hairstyles, clothes and so on. Having said that, Courtney is absolutely right on, and I'm merely pointing out the nuances that lie beyond her valuable tips here!

[@blackjackjester]

Most people consider the face to be the defining factor of attractive or not. It is a big factor, but it's also such a small percentage of your body, and an even smaller percentage of your whole self. Take care of your body, take care of your mind, and even if your face looks like a catchers mitt, you'll do well.

Important things: 0:53 First Thing - The Perfect Fit; 2:16 Second Thing - Your Grooming Habits; 5:09 Third Thing - Fresh Haircut; 6:00 Fourth Thing - Styling Your Hair; 6:44 Fifth Thing - Watch; 7:34 Sixth Thing - Clean Shoes; 8:09 Seventh Thing - Avoid Logos; 9:10 Eight Thing - Steam And Iron Your Clothes; 9:53 Ninth Thing - Your Scent; and 10:50 to summarize all the told here. I think that third thing (fresh haircut), and fourth thing (styling your hair) can also be seen in second thing (the grooming habits). Why? Because that is also part of essential hygiene (let's put it that way). I even care with me wet wipes (one of my family members is a doctor, and I taught from that member that thing), and hand sanitizer. That can be additional tip. Or to be precise Tenth Thing - Carrying A Hand Sanitizer (or something that will help us to have clean hands) (or tenth advice, call it whatever you want). It helped me a lot (believe it or not). And I'm still carrying it when I go out of house, because I don't want to be infected by viruses, and bacteria (believe it or not). Of course everybody is willing to live how they wish and want.

I've been on a binge of your vids as of late. I really like how you break down each segment of your videos into seperate coherent parts that eventually get strung together in your conclusion for an overarching theme or consensus. You also seem to really care about your viewers, which makes your videos feel more realistic and relational in a sense. Love the vids!

[@CourtneyRyan]

You’re so kind! Thank you 🥹

[@austincarlson9270]

@@CourtneyRyan Its the least I can do! You are the one giving me all the insights and tips haha 😄. On a different note, one thing I find irritating is the comments that get a lot of interaction under your videos in which they basically say (and I'm paraphrasing here), "Everything you just said doesn't matter if you aren't physically attractive." Like duh, but you literally have other videos on your channel that cover how to improve your hygiene, grooming, and health. Not to mention those people can find numerous videos on those topics on other channels too, or even sources like Reddit, which is where I have gotten lots of help. I genuinely feel anybody can be a 7/10 at the least if they take care of their body (eat, sleep, hygiene) and workout. You also have your channel dedicated to all aspects of dating, so being physically attractive is one thing, but once you have that "covered", you can learn so much more to improve your dating experience from your videos. To me those comments come across so insecure and also disingenuous to you and what you are trying to say. It makes it sound like they are projecting all the blame to the women when in reality both sides need to do their part. I'm sorry that was a little ranty but it just irks me to see such incompenetent comments be at the top of your videos. Anyway, I hope you have a great night (unless its some other time of the day) and rest of your week! Much thanks again for the tips. 😁

I’ve always been taught that a watch is one of the most important accessory for a gentleman. My father was born in a country where a watch was considered a sign of wealth because not everyone could afford one. Being military inclined, a watch is also an invaluable tool for navigation (non digital) and for of telling time, but the management of time itself. It’s hard to pass it’s importance to my sons nowadays, but I’m persistent about the relevance of a watch. I don’t care for jewelry and my wife understands me well as my watch and folding knives are the most important tools that accompany me when we are out and about albeit that some of my knives are more expensive than some pieces of jewelry. I suppose that I could consider some of my knives are jewelry and it definitely gives me a sharper image.

[@fivedogsranch9288]

Just stumbled across your channel and this was my first video. I live in a very rural area of western Colorado and honestly most men here are completely opposite of every point you made. Which brings me to my next point. My wife typically says to me when we’re going to run errands or do some light shopping. She often asks or comments that why am I dressing up or looking nice. It makes me feel good she notices and I always tell her because I want to look good for her. I don’t want people to see me as a representation of her and I’m looking like a bum. I appreciate and most often follow those same elements to looking nice. Fit is a little harder for me as I’m 6’4” and 265 with a dad bod. Clothing that fits proper is a challenge when most places carrying 3x are still too short in the sleeves and overall garment length. Most 3x garments are cut short and wide. No help. Anyways, good video👍🏻. On to the next with a sub!

Hey Courtney, I’ve been watching your channel for quite some time now and it’s really helped a lot! I’ve just been seeing this girl for the past seven or eight months, and at first our relationship was really rushed and that was my fault and her fault but recently we have been hanging out as friends because she said she wasn’t feeling it before which I understood. But recently we have been hanging out more and more as friends and she tells me she really likes it when we touch and cuddle. She likes it when I talk to her deeply about why I like her. So I’m just sort of confused at the moment, and I would like to know what you would recommend in my situation. I like this girl a lot and I’m just trying to go about it the right way. I have been really trying to get to know her as a person before rushing into anything if there is going to be anything happening in the future.

La Roche Posay for skincare. Its really really good. For hair, if you learn how to blowdry, it makes an insane difference as opposed to just wetting it and using paste. Blowdry + use styling paste. The whitening strips for teeth are also a good suggestion. Any little thing helps. I've always felt kinda ugly lol, but these things have helped for sure.

Thank you, Courtney, for including the timepiece tips.

[@joekrozel6137]

Regarding hand care: It took me many years to realize that hand moisturizer actually diminishes the occurrence of hang nails; Many guys may be like me in not liking the greasy feel of hand moisturizer on the palm side of their hand, so I learned to apply a large dab to the BACKSIDE of one hand, then rub the backsides of both hands together ...then outward toward the fingernails where the moisturizer can be effective. It works like a charm -- especially during dry seasons -- and your palms won't end up slick. (Then, if you ever do find yourself with a hang nail, remember to CLIP that loose skin rather than pull at it).

Shopping in the mid to higher end stores has helped me. Discount kinds of stores have some stuff that is decent but compare it to the mid to higher end stores so one can learn to pick out the difference between quality levels. For example, some higher end stuff use fabrics that have a nice "hand."

[@pepa007]

Higher end stores also often have more attentive shop assistants that help you find the right fit, not only in size, but also in color, combination with other pieces, etc. And quality materials will show for sure. On the other hand, with a bit of experience, you can find yourself a perfect fit $5 shirt in H&M that people will absolutely love on you - just because it fits absolutely precisely, and the color is perfect for your type. Speaking out of experience here. The classic trick is combining higer end pieces with the cheap ones.

[@TheUnkindness]

I do 8 out of these 9 things, great! I still can't find a decent woman though. But seriously, this has greatly improved my appearance and my confidence. Women often compliment me on every point on this list.

[@DarkConception2909]

In the end if a woman likes you she will over look all sorts of things. If she doesn't like you a tie bar is not going to convince her otherwise. Looking well put together is great for working with customers and maybe for some self confidence reasons but it is not the secret ingredient to getting more dates unless previously you looked like a vagabond. Elevate yourself to be the person you want to be and don't worry about some fashion checklist.

This is a pretty good video (when does Courtney not make a great vid?) For the Clevelanders, I can tell you that tailors here are actually plentiful AND reasonably priced. Even if you bought "off the rack", you can still get tailored with local seamstresses, and look like a million bucks. And yeah, washing, trimming and primming is a deal maker, or a deal breaker. As for teeth whitening? If you drink coffee or red wine often? This is a MUST. ALSO: Like Courtney said, stay low on logos. Once in a blue moon, I might wear a logo, but it's very minimal. Logos scream "look at me! I bought...", whereas those of us who buy and wear, go for the feel and look. BTW @CourtneyRyan: The Tiege Hanley kit that you're sponsoring on here?

I will admit, I sometimes still feel like an incel despite having a girlfriend, probably because I feel that my 20s were a waste, didn't have a serious relationship until the beginning of my 30s. It causes me to envy and resent couples out there younger than me, people who got to experience having a serious long-term relationship before I did and yes I know people will always say comparison is the thief of joy or don't compare yourself to others. But I believe it's always has been and always will be part of the human psyche, been that way since the beginning of time to feel upset and depressed when you feel you are not part of the norm. Because of that I feel like a forever permanent incel for all time, even when I did manage to get a girlfriend. So yeah even while I did have a girlfriend, I still felt like an incel. I don't see myself ever getting over this, it will be a pain and wound for the rest of my life. And I'm not afraid to admit that there have been times over the years I have hated being born male, because I know I'm not the only guy in the world that has this mindset, that men have to do everything in dating and relationships and seduction. Yes I know tons of people say what's the point of being angry and depressed over what didn't happen in the past or not? Well I'm entitled and I have a right to my mindset, I believe it's always been part of human nature or just the human psyche to always be sad and depressed or angry and resentful over good things that they wish happened to them in the past but didn't. I know I'm not afraid to admit I have had these thoughts, and I'm sure other guys have thought this way, we feel that if we had been born a woman, we would not have been single that long. Probably because women just have to exist and they are guaranteed attention and options from Men, that requires no skill or no social dynamics, no game or no seduction. One person I remember I heard said that women need game as well which I thought was the stupidest thing I ever heard. So ya I still feel like an incel for all time despite managing to get a girlfriend eventually, and I still get irritated and annoyed whenever people and society say that men have it better than women do in the human mating game. I get annoyed when people say go see a therapist because it's not like a therapist can reset my life or have me start my life all over again. I spoke in a few other guys who feel the same way in regards to being forever angry and upset, sad, over never having had a girlfriend until later than normal, until late in life. Probably because guys and men to learn and know all of these skills, all of these social behaviors, talk and behave a certain way, act a certain way, walk a certain way or have a certain lifestyle, have a certain body, certain income, and more than that which I either don't know or forgot. Women are pretty much basically all set for just being born and just existing. Because being pretty and beautiful is not a skill and it doesn't require any learning, it's not a behavior that takes training

Great video Courtenay. Wanted to add one item to your excellent list: behave like you are an 'expensive' person. Please and thank you. Holding a door open for a woman. Treating those around you with respect. If you combine a well fitting suit, a clean and moisturized face, a good haircut, quality and polished shoes, and you smell great (easy on the trigger) AND when you walk around town and are polite and have manners - that adds to image you project as an 'expensive' person. I say this, only because I see a lot of guys that buy expensive clothes, get a nice haircut, nice shoes, expensive accessories (and I know that your message in this video is that you don't have to spend a ton to look expensive) and then this 'well put together person'....speaks...and behaves....and all the effort to look the part is dilluted with poor manners, treating people poorly, swearing, etc.

Do you think the Apple Watch or Apple Watch Ultra is a good look on men or do you prefer a more traditional watch? What about if the watch has custom metal band (not bought from Apple)?

i just recently started trying out a skin care routine (not tiege hanley in case you're wondering). it's this all-in-one gel i've been using for a couple of weeks now. i honestly haven't seen much of a difference yet, but i figure the time has come to try this out since i put a lot of effort into getting my fashion and fragrance on point, so why not also get your skin on point too.

[@seansimmons73]

If it works, great, but people's skin is different so all in ones usually aren't the way to go. Some people have waxy dry skin & some have sweaty oily looking skin, some have acne or acne scars to deal with. All require different skin treatment

[@truhunt2120]

I want to order the facial skin care package, but most cleansers and moisturizers that I use gives me a burning sensation that last for hours and then leads to swelling. How well is this on sensitive skin? I have used many different skin sensitive products but all fail. The only thing that I use is my family's homemade goat milk soap that we make on our hobby farm.

[@TrevorDodd-ev1sx]

Great video and I naturally dress the way you advise. The watch tip is interesting because there are so many fake watches out there that a cheaper watch brand is a much better choice than even a real Rolex.

Who cares about this? The only people are twofold: those with small egos and care about people's opinions, and gold diggers, in which this video kind of reveals that she lowkey is one herself. I bet she spends more on clothes than food and other stuff that's more important, just to be the center of attention every time she goes outside. Frustrating that so many guys here are blind

All great points. I always wear very nice stylish Seiko and Invicta watches. I actually own a collection of very nice watches and I wear button-down shirts or a T-shirt with a button-down over it. I have very thick black hair and I wear it longer not womanish long☝️ but a bit like the pompadour haircut. I keep my goatee well-groomed and I wear nice solid hiking boots and nice hiking/walking boot-like shoes. I am a very well-put-together man and I'm 40 and have grey at my temples and in my goatee. I've some grey in my eyebrows too. Lol 😂😂😂 people dye their hair at my age but I don't mind my gray hair. To me, it looks destinquched. And I don't look my age. Women think I'm in my mid-20s and think I dye my hair Grey at my temples and my brow hairline and in my goatee. I appreciate your videos and insight into how men need to look and be well-kept and groomed. Men these days younger than me just throw on shorts and a T-shirt, messy and dirty. Hair, flip flops, and use juveniles horrible-smelling axe body spray🤮🤮🤮. That's why most of the male population in the world especially in the us need your videos bcz men are gone. Guys are just beer belly smelly bloaks or tattooed emos. Gone are the days of being an actual man instead of a boy. I come from an old-school native American and Mexican family too. My father taught my brothers and me to Have dignity honor and self-respect. And to dress well and my grandfather was a Southern gentleman and dressed in suits always wore a watch, and combed his hair back very stylish. My dad and grandpa were both masculine men and while today masculinity is often mistaken for misogyny being masculine, working out, smelling good, bathing, dressing well, wearing a nice watch, etc are now a lost art. I'm proud my adopted sons dress as well as they can. But are just young nerds and Gen Z and younger millennials are often dressed in board shorts, flip flops with socks, and wear a dumb hoody sweater and a kiddy Star Wars or other movie logo t-shirt. Imo that's only for tweens, as a teenager you need actual clothes and need to wear nice shoes or boots depending on the weather, you've got a good knowledge of fashion and how some men need to up the ante and become a man rather than a boy.

Is a smart watch ok or should I get consider a regular watch?

[@haggus71]

If you keep your hair short, invest in a trimmer to cut your hair. I've been using one for years, haven't been to a hair stylist, and always get complimented on my hair. It's easy to learn; and you'll look like a man instead of a man-child. I think that's the biggest thing. Look mature. Look like someone who takes the time to get their shit together, and cares about looking decent. Remember, it's not just for yourself; it's for those around you.

[@christophermooney1228]

I definitely need to get a new watch. My old one died. LOL. My question is, I'm still confused what are best colognes that are good for women to like and not turn them off (feeling rejected been thre) what about the cologne you mentioned is that the recommendation, what's the name again? Would you recommend ones with pheromones? How about what would be the best deodorant, is old spice generally a good one, or Brut, or....? Let me know. Thank you.❤
