How to Be Handsome without Overdoing It

#1: Get settled on a skincare routine.

Skincare routines aren’t just for women. They benefit men too.

Get started with washing your face. It’s the bedrock of your routine. Use a facial wash that suits your skin type for fewer skin problems. From there, clean your face with a toner and moisturizer for a complete routine.

Skin protects the rest of you. It’s the largest organ of the body. Taking care of it is your duty. Don’t let anyone tell you that skincare diminishes your manhood, because it truly doesn’t.

#2: Correct your posture.

People can form perceptions of others by observing their posture. According to Harvard research, how one carries oneself physically plays a huge role in people’s perception of their attractiveness.

We recommend standing straight with your shoulders back and your feet firmly on the ground. This will make you appear confident and self-assured.

Even better, it keeps you healthy. With good posture, you can breathe easier, decrease stress on your bones and joints, and even boost mood and energy.

#3: Clean up the facial hair.

Facial hair isn’t always acceptable in some parts of Thailand. While cities like Bangkok don’t ban it, the women aren’t too keen on it. This may be due to cultural influence.

Thai men usually don’t grow beards or mustaches. And given the country’s tropical climate, having a beard isn’t quite ideal.

According to several Reddit threads, Thai women prefer clean-shaven men. If they sport a beard, they should be well-groomed. Stay on the safe side by choosing the option most convenient for you.

#4: Swap ill-fitting clothes for better ones.

You can be both comfortable and well-dressed. Both concepts aren’t mutually exclusive.

Prioritize getting clothes that fit your body type well, in colors that flatter your complexion.

Well-fitting clothes don’t always come with expensive price tags. If tailored suits aren’t your cup of tea, you can always go for basic pieces that fit great. Get classic ones that won’t go out of style.

Do you know why this matters? It’s simple. A person who takes the time to dress well is showing not only self-awareness but enough emotional intelligence to gauge the impact of his presence on others.

#5: Keep your nails trimmed and clean.

Nail care is basic hygiene. Fingernails and toenails can have germs and bacteria stuck underneath them, especially if they aren’t cleaned regularly. Not only do they look dirty, but they can also be a source of infections and other health problems.

No, a manicure appointment isn’t necessary (unless you want one, no judgment there). Instead, put that nail clipper to good use and keep your nails trimmed.

#6: Smile for real.

Genuine smiles instantly make someone look more attractive. Smile when you mean it.

The attractive eyes of a male become even more so when they smile sincerely. Think of something that makes you happy. When you smile joyfully at the thought, you’ll feel the corners of your eyes crinkling up too.

That’s what a real smile feels and looks like.

#7: Get the right haircut.

Think of hair as a man’s equivalent of makeup. Styling it right helps a lot in the appearance department.

Your haircut should fit your face shape. Here’s a short guide to getting the right cut:

#8: Mind your body language.

If you don’t know how to tell if you are handsome, look at people’s reactions to you. And specifically, gauge their body language. If a woman makes prolonged eye contact, for example, you can sense something’s brewing.

And with that, mind how you present yourself. You should have an open and welcoming body language when you present yourself to the world.

#1. Check for dress codes.

Some spots require patrons to follow specific standards. You don’t want to ruin your date by being banned from your venue of choice.

#2: Choose pieces with light fabrics.

Like the rest of Thailand, Bangkok has a tropical climate. Wear outfits made from light and breathable fabrics for more comfort in the city’s heat. Cotton, linen, nylon, polyester, and rayon are good choices.

#3: Get your footwear right.

Match your shoes to the occasion. If you’re out somewhere fancy, for example, loafers will do the trick. You can wear slip-on versions for more comfort and convenience.

#4: When in doubt, go for smart casual.

If you don’t know what to wear, go for a smart-casual style. It usually never fails to look good anywhere. A nice, collared shirt and well-fitting pants can do the trick.
