Success Through Confidence Series Part 2: Don’t Just Look Good, Smell Good

In you stroll, looking like a champion in that new dress, suit you have on. You hair looks good, you makeup is perfect and your shoes are just gleaming. You date looks at you with great interest and adoration.

You move closer and embrace them in a welcome hug. You pull away and you see their eyes brimming with tears. Hold up. If you think it’s because of the way you look and you’ve moved them, think again. It may just be your repulsive body odor that is making them want to gasp for air.

Looking good is nothing if you smell like a last night’s trash. A lot of the times, people don’t know why things didn’t work out with their date. They remember saying the right things, laughing at the correct times, being attentive, looking real hot but then their dates seem to want to bolt faster than a bat out of hell.

Looking good is important, as is feeling comfortable. However along with this you should smell good. It doesn’t take an arm and a leg to smell good. Invest in a good quality after shave and cologne but don’t bathe in it either. This is all part of making a good impression. It shows you have made an effort for her and you care.

If you really want to go that extra mile a good, a lemon based on for day wear and a heavier woody cologne for the evening with a hint of musk. But always consult and test because you don’t wan to be scratching yourself raw in the event you are allergic to it.

Looking and smelling good is not a one-off situation. For second and subsequent dates you need to keep up the good work so I am not recommending your first impression-making attempts are not really you. I really am suggesting you take a long hard look at your current image and begin to change things for the better if necessary. And certainly for the long term.
