Without Giving Up the Reins Completely

Face it. The movement isn't going away anytime soon. So instead of being left in the dust, why not join in and make some (much-needed) improvements. Here are some tips to get you through the rest of the summer.

Think pulled together. Don't forget to bathe, soap, zip up your fly, and deodorize the pits. Body odor is left for the paupers. Nothing is sexier than a pulled together guy with great cologne. You want to exert cool and confident, not sloppy.

Invest in cool knickers. It's a female secret we share with you men. Nothing makes us feel sexier than donning a lacy number underneath the layers. Splurge on some sexy briefs (keep in mind, WE wear the leopard print) to keep you feeling like a stud. And if the opportunity presents itself that you get to drop the drawers, she'll be impressed at your "to be seen in" skivvies.

Get a haircut ... All of them. Summer is here, it's time to chop the top. Splurge a bit. Spend more than $5 and go to a stylist to re-do the do. Letting a pro polish your appearance can certainly upgrade you from a Dodge to a Ferrari. Now, if you plan on being beach side this summer, don't go BEAR or BARE, but do trim the trim. How can we see your muscular pecks hidden under the rug?

Spring cleaning. Run the vacuum and the dishwasher, dust off the counter, clean the bathroom, do the laundry, and tidy the room. Nothing is sexier than a man with a manicured pad. We want to know that you're capable of being tidy, since it says something about YOUR OWN cleanliness.

Walk the Walk. Be cute and bring her flowers, be a gentleman, leave little notes... pamper us! Giving some attention to how she wants (and deserves) to be treated will be an effort worth investing. And if all goes well, YOU'LL be rewarded.

Bottom line... no need to completely alter your style, but a few enhancements can certainly go a long way.
