Try a steakhouse and enjoy the fruits of your labor at the bar top. 🍽 You don’t even have to drink. I usually just get a water with the juiciest stake possible. And most importantly, say “hello” or “hey” to whoever sits next to you. Even though I’m a regular, i tend to ask “so, what’s good here” hahaha easy and affective icebreaker. Even if it don’t go as planned, at least you went and had a good meal. 😋 #DoItAgain

@MR. DC COMICS, I can relate. For the most part, I'm an introvert and more of a misanthrope. People generally annoy me. That being said, I'm still a man on my purpose, married forever with 2 "sexy sons" I'm eternally grateful for. The ladies love me and I love them... Perhaps, too much. Tho I work best in solitude (artistic creative), I know how to play the game. KS is right. A smile goes a long way. I've forced myself to learn the art of socializing and flattery. Some of my best encounters are striking up conversations at bars, etc. and just getting to know someone's story. I applaud you for giving it a try. It gets easier and you'll find, sometimes, it's downright pleasant.

I agree with you wholeheartedly on this topic. I have 3 places in Dallas that I go, each on a different day of the week and generally at the same hour. Regardless of what the crowd may be, my table is awaiting my arrival. To be waived through the clutter of folks asking about wait time, is priceless. Consistency is key. One thing I would like to add though: People should never underestimate the power that a welcoming smile possesses. You must make it easy for someone to approach you. Smile, be receptive (not off putting) and open up to be engaged.

I have a particular restaurant I visit often on lunch. They are never packed during lunch. Back in December, I stopped in for lunch and it was packed due to a Christmas party for the "important" people in the city. Host proceeds to tell me it will be a long wait. The owner says "no, he gets his food first. He's here every week, I see these people once a year." Consistency is definitely key.

It's probably easier (now) than in many prior eras to cultivate a distinguished "look." Most American dudes dress sloppily or wear nut-hugger pants. Many dudes wouldn't know how to select 2-3 pairs of quality men's shoes (even if you gifted them $1,500 - $2,000). They're mostly "stuck" on increasing their 'Jordan' collections (cheap Asian footwear made for $30 & sold for $200+). The bummy (& casual) look has even become accepted in office environments. So, be encouraged if you aim to elevate your swagg.

I definitely agree with the concept of the uniform, however , I do believe that we look best in certain color schemes. There are certain colors I would never wear with my skin tone. However their are colors that look good on me. For example, if I look good in 3 or 4 colors , I put together a wardrobe with those color schemes or variations. This way I can basically be in the dark room and be able to pull a shirt, pants, ties, sport jacket, a pair of shoes, and basically be ready in minutes--color coordinated. Using these multiple color schemes , gives you more uniform options even on a budget. You got great content. And I really enjoy how you expose the delusional cycle that so many of us have in relationships--especially women.

@str8phuckin3 жыл бұрын
Choose your fragrance according to what you have been eating. If you have been eating heavily spiced dishes with Cumin, Garlic, or other highly fragrant herbs, go with a heavier woodsy or herbal scent with citrus undertones, as citrus is a natural odor blocker/absorbent. It will mesh better with your current body chemistry until you flush out the contents of your diet. Always drink plenty of water and fruit smoothies to recalibrate your body ph and flush out. Avoid floral and fruity notes because the smells from your pores and what you have been eating will make your smell off-putting. I hope this helps. I had to coach my husband on these things, as he had a signature fragrance; however, it does not work when you alternate your dietary choices. He's a foodie.😏
