Would you recommend the natural deodorant for people who wear cologne ? I want to wear a deodorant that doesn’t interfere with the smell of whatever cologne I wear
I think the jeans and sandals is a Miami Beach Southern California Orange County San Diego thing like a stoner type dude however if your doing it like 3:48 to the left it's all bad may as well be peddle pushers to each is there own of course still looks silly ...And the socks with sandals is comedy .. It's like white tube socks with a suit should be illegal in 50 states 😄
Hey man not all women are the same some women like different styles some women like that style she says not all women are the same bro not everybody on this world it's the same person everybody's just different
@Lance Jesse it's not about movies it's about being yourself main thing is be yourself stop dressing men telling me what to put on or what to not put on it's what you want to put on it's the same thing y'all women nobody can tell you all what to put on nobody can make you I'll do what you want to do it's up to what you want to put on when women start judging men on clothing but it's okay but when a man judge a woman on clothing it's not okay that's kind of crazy let's say I judge that woman or her style and her clothing I will tell her oh she looked terrible with that she's going to be upset
@Leandro Tristen for months right okay and if you going to listen to someone else tell you how to be yourself you have situations that that's not good then yourself is not worrying about what somebody else telling you being yourself is to be yourself no matter what someone tells you about yourself women love a man that can be
my dad used to tell me that in pursuit of a woman. dress for the woman you want. how you dress determines what type of woman you attract. dress trashy you get trash showy you get showy down to earth you get down to earth. over the years i found it to be true. i found when I dressed the way I was comfortable and at peace with myself I found a partner that complemented my personality. proof is in the fact I've been married for 18 years and together for 20 and our magic hasn't subsided. me and her against the world basically
This lines up well with the be what you want to attract doctrine that Cortney loves so much. General things like what women like is great info, but we live in a world of specifics. Things like what do women where I live like? Or in my culture like? Or my interests, hobbies, religion, lifestyle like? These are so much more valuable to us as specific individuals.
@Soul of a robot no, but he did like them big. He always said they got to have enough to hold onto when the storm hits and the sea heaves to heaven. His tastes i suppose.
Things To Do To Improve Your Self 1. Workout 2. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF 3. Own your own business/Focus on your purpose 4. Work on your social skills 5. Work on fashion/ nice wardrobe 6. Outstanding personal hygiene 7. BE TEACHABLE / never turned down an opportunity to learn something new 8. Be able to stand up for yourself & SAY NO! 9. Be able to stand alone for long periods of time.
#3 - I don't know about "owning your own business" as not all of us are cut out to be or want to be, entrepreneurs. We can be very successful at what we do, but it shouldn't be the definition of what/who we are. 10. Know when it's time to move on. Don't allow yourself to be stuck someplace. 11. Be in control - Don't allow yourself to be in a situation when you are not.
I've seen women who love men reasons unknow. the guy dresses and acts like a thug, doesn't work, smokes dope, gets drunk, has tattoos and piercing everywhere. a few times the guy has children from multiple women. be yourself and the right woman for you will show up.
@@tomasintexas Unfortunately some of us fall for those women who prefer the guy you described above, and ultimately accept the fact that she prefers that loser over you. Fast forward 10-20 years, and you see her on Facebook, and the photos she posts are of she and her parrot... or lots of photos of cats, some of hers (alone), and maybe one or two of some guy that looks old enough to be her father, but isn't. Sometimes she'll be posting of her fatherless child. Happiness in well camouflaged misery that fools no one. Of well! There But For The Grace Of God, Go I.
My Grandmother who was a very stylish Upper Class Lady , once said something about clothes that I've never forgotten, " Fashion goes out of Style, but Style never goes out of Fashion"
No man, you're so wrong :) that attitude would be disgusting if it were real though (no offense). Good thing you're joking 😋 Here in my country there's a century old saying about the perfect man from a women's perspective that claims he should have 3 F's : feo, fornido, formal. Which translates to : ugly, sturdy and formal. "Handsome face" guys are always bad news, or at least to a woman looking for a steady relationship.
@@sandstorm8874 yea it is a meant to be a joke and also I have completely accepted the fact that i am just this way and it used to bother me in my teenage years but everything is good now btw I would love to go to ur country sometimes 😊❤️
"Buy your favorite pieces in multiples" This, this, this! This is the first time I've heard that advice from one of the fahsion youtubers and I can't emphasize it enough. Once upon a time, in 2013, Uniqlo made my favourite chino and I've worn the heck out of it. Shortly after they changed the cut and added a lot more stretch to the fabric, and it took me 8 years until 2021 to find another go to chino that is perfect for me without any altering aside from getting them hemmed. I'd say this is true for every basic wardrobe piece: basic solid colored tees, chinos, dark wash jeans, all the timeless stuff that will always be part of your wardrobe. Stock up on it if you find your 'perfect' piece, before they might make changes you don't like or it goes out of stock forever.
That's true. Although I might be in the minority in clothing styles... 🤔 Meaning that I prefer the majority of clothing styles, designs from early mid 2010's and mid late 2010's. 2013-2017ish.
dude. i recently went shopping for jeans. normal jeans. every expensive store i went to only had skinny stretch jeans. i asked the probably gay salesguy if they had jeans for men and he literally laughed at me and turned to the next customer. went to the army dump and bought some cargo jeans. pockets i can stick my wrists into and a lot of space for the junk in the trunk.
I wore them for years, like in the phase when I did not care about looking good, only function matters. Then I thrifted my first (proper) suit jacket. I wore suit but that was just for special occassion and that was just cheap quality suit. This jacked I thrifted has much better quality. It is not bespoke but it is decent quality. The fit is not perfect but it fits relatively well. It has classic cut. It has two inside pockets and those pockets surprisingly can fit my wallet and phone without adding bulk in jacket. This jacket conviced me to get rid of my cargo pants.
Have you done the same that her? Telling women what not to do / wear from a men's perspective? I've personally not met one man who likes super swollen lips or long pointy shiny nails or hyperdark thick brows, but that's the dominating trend among women. if you've done a video like that, could you point me to it? :)
@@ianbutler1983 no, but that's why I am asking. And I don't know why it would be for men, when it's exactly women who men turn to when asking for fashion advise. I can better advise men if I saw his videos before. As a matter of fact I had directed men to this channel when they ask for advise, and sometimes they look, sometimes they don't, but they always end up with: well yeah, but what do you say is better? so I just repeat what he said as to not make them go out looking dumb 😬
Women's reply to the man's perspective of what we like is, "We don't dress to impress or appeal to you, we dress for ourselves." Well, that is my and should be more men's response to women!
I found her video hilarious. I never dress with the sole purpose of trying to impress anyone. I wear what I wear because I like it and it's functional for me. It's simple, it works and I like it.
She has literally been gaining at least 1.5 thousand subs per day since I found her channel last week . The best pt of her channel is she is straightforward . How many women are straightforward ?
Stefan - Yes. She ALWAYS has the low cut top. So even though she has great content, pretty face, excellent video work, camera, lighting, GOTTA have the girls out. Love it but message might be that boobs is necessary.
As far as cologne, what she said is brilliant - the part about smelling it when they hug you. You want them to want to be close to you to smell it, then they'll get close to smell it again. Buy awesome/expensive cologne and use it sparringly.
Only if you are taken or going on a date. Other than that, as a single man you want it to project. I know because I’d worn cologne for years the way courtney says to do it (and the way my mother said to do it) and i NEVER got compliments that way. Not until i started to go 5 (or more) sprays in did i start to get compliments. Also, the examples are hyperbolic. If you are stuck in phone booth with someone (or a small room) for 4 hours.. probably take it easy. If however you are going to an outdoor event... probably want to cake the stuff on about 1 hour before you go. This will allow the fragrance to settle but still project. Cheers.
I agree kind of. If it’s a cologne you love wear it. Some fragrances will project more but some last longer as well. I have one slightly expensive one from ysl and it last a long while. I don’t need a lot
Id agree but personally i get headaches from people who use too much perfume or women who lotion up AND perfume. Its just too much and often times those people try to mask their stink. For those that have a light scent i feel are way more attractive because it doesnt invadethe air of someone elses space and it says you smell clean not just nice
When I was younger I didn’t care for chest hair. Now that I’m married to someone who has chest hair I find it attractive. I feel some of these opinions will change as a girl becomes a women as well. Personally her opinions match with mine even when I was younger.
I subscribe to Courtney and also to your channel. I have always been interested in looking my best even at my age (69). Not to pick up chicks ... but to keep the chick I already have (43 yrs married) interested in me. Both your channels have been helpful in giving me new ideas and validating some of the things I already do. Thanks for your insights.
Of all the men's fashion UA-camrs, you and Courtney are my favorite (I'm 60 years old). Alpha M is for the younger crowd and the Gazette guy is out in left field with his fashion advice. Nonetheless, you all seem like awesome people.
@Alpha Centauri Most of mens edc are simply toys for adults. The main reason I have a titanium pry bar is to carry in places that I can’t carry a knife.
I am down with everything they said here except the bit about cargo shorts. I love them. I think it makes both men and women look rugged and mobile. Like they would have the skills to survive an apocalypse or build a shelter in the woods, wrestle an alligator in a swamp. And you can find ones that actually look great. Its all about the fit.
I think that in general it's easier for a woman to look good in a more militarized style. A girl can look hot if she's wearing milsurp combat pants, a guy looks like he wants people to think he's a cop or soldier.
On some guys its extremely sexy. Particularly the Mediterranean types like Southern French or Italian. Also the lighter the man's hair color is the lighter their body hair so its hardly even noticeable.
when you get choked out by a cologne in the elevator its usually because the person had just applied it 2 mins ago. the rest of the time its just cheap cologne
6:53 - 7:04 OMG THANK YOU. This is something I truly do love about your channel. Even if someone is wearing something you might not like you help them at least figure out how to pull it off. Most of other people's channel (Courtney for example) just say eww don't wear it and that it. But you at least help with working with what someone already has or likes
Former military here also. IMO that depends entirely on the article of clothing and when/where/how it's worn. I have a flat cap that my dog "customized" slightly for me when she was a puppy that I still wear in non-formal situations and will never repair. ; )
Will, you sound like my old 1stSgt, an airwing pog that use to tell me about my unservicable cammies when we were in the field. Of course back in the rear I was razor sharp but in the field I was a dirty dog.
I was with her until cargo pants. That's crime against men. It's a tactical masterpiece. It's functionality over fashion. And canvas cargo pants are durable and last longer and way better than what in the market has to offer.
Cargo pants are awesome when you hang out with girls who love the great outdoors and the gun range. Girlies will probably raise an eyebrow. Dress accordingly to attract the woman you want.
When I left Thailand and moved back to the USA I was worried about loosing all my jewelry. So I decided to wear everything I had - on the airplane. It was right about the time the last Captain Jack Pirates of the Caribbean came out. I actually enjoyed it and got more positive feedback during that flight than I had about anything. So I kept it all on and continued to get compliments. This is from women and men. I was also flying directly from Bangkok to New York City - a new rout at the time. If your not used to getting direct compliments and suddenly you get them. It makes an impression. I just kept wearing jewelry for several years. I still do on occasion but not everything still fits. [ And when I moved again three more times - I did in fact loose over half my rings and bracelets. ] This falls into the category where all the people who complain about things they have never tried. It also separates the people who think other people should fit in and if they don’t they’re a problem - and those who want to experience everything. I’ve learned a lot by being open. In fact, I never got compliments before like I did from jewelry. It gave me confidence to fit into NYC. A place known for fashion. Some girls are like this girl and aren’t going to like it. But honestly, she’s not my type. She has a nice figure but her clothes I don’t find particularly attractive or stylish. She looks boring. If she had more accessories she’d look more interesting. A few simple bracelets would up her appearance to me. I would say if you find the Johnny Depp Madonna look appealing then try it. You’ll be surprised. If you want to look like the people In sitcom TV shows like “Friends” - which I wasn’t a fan of - then its not your style. Try one bracelet. I think what makes Antonio is so good with this is not because of his style but because he has taste. That’s what matters more. IMHO.
Haha I’ve always loved seeing a little chest hair on a guy, especially with those rolled-up sleeves. And while I agree with most of these, I do not see a problem with cargo shorts/pants. Those pockets have got to be useful, especially in the summer, and men don’t carry purses like women do. And I like the rugged-jungle-adventurer vibe that cargos give. My issue is cargos that are plaid, or patterned instead of khaki or beige or neutral. My husband has a plaid one and it drives me crazy because 1) the pattern defeats the purpose of a cargo shirt blending into a natural environment and 2) it looks like underwear to me.
Regarding sandals. I don't wear sandals much anymore because I my I don't like my like my feet sticking to the bottom of the footwear and I don't like to wear white socks becauuse that looks bad. I found a good compromise is to wear low cut (ankle cut) Grey or black socks.
@@stelqnkata5899 false quite honestly. I’m an avid biker and skier so my thighs are I’d say 90% muscle and skinny jeans/pants don’t work. Really a struggle for us :/
@@garbagejuice1 Agree 100%. I’ve struggled to find the right fitted jeans with my bodybuilder thighs and smaller waistline since the 1990s. But the stupid styles went from oversized super wide legged carpenter style jeans in the early ‘00s to the opposite extreme of tight fitted tapered leg jeans today. Some of us want to accommodate both our thick legs AND our smaller waists. Heck now even some dress suits have skinny legs. Who the heck is walking around a boardroom or a house of worship wearing super-skinny tight pants? And while we’re at it why do so many oversized dress shirts have narrow collar sizes. Who’s walking around with a fat body and a tiny neck? Some of us who work out might have a larger neck but without a huge beer belly.
Skinny jeans/pants are a perfect example of fashion not style. They make your hips look wide and give you chicken legs. Somewhere out there, there is a marketing executive falling out of his/her chair.
They look ridiculous, and they are definitely not masculine. They don’t flatter anyone, especially not men, and fat women who should absolutely not be going for the sausage-link look.
You have no idea man. It‘s not style ok, but also not fashion. It’s livestyle. I don‘t care about fashion and stuff. It’s a Rock’n’Roll thing and looks badass. Wide hips? Chicken legs? Go to the fucking gym.
As a woman, yes the fragrance thing absolutely applies to us too. There are some ladies who nearly bowl me over with the amount of scent on them. It’s literally painful. I don’t know if they have numbed their noses and don’t realize, or if they have a naturally dull sense of smell, or just don’t care, but it’s hard to be in the same room.
Antonio, Thank you for this great video. Actually, I saw also the Courtney video first, some time ago. And now with your comment and remarks, it gets even more interesting. Agreed with flip-flops with jeans or socks with sandals. But also accessive perfume also has a point. But this goes both ways for men and women as well. Especially, if you stuck with somebody for a while who used too much perfume in a close space like a plain. Luckily, the flight was only for one and a half hours. Good job!
But it should be a person in your general space, not a Deflector Shield. Also notice how many "I and I've " you packed in that short post, it's instructive.
As a woman I would like to weigh in on the chest hair debate: I totally don't mind whatever you have growing on your front half, but I can also say that I never want to be able to see any of it sticking out of your clothing 🙈 Definitely personal preference tho
I think it helps in the colour, definitely. Army colours, nice fit. Two of my own fave pants are technically cargo (I know I’m a girl, but still holds), but they give off an intentional, on the go, day off from combat vibe rather than dad at Disney land. Those shows in the vid are very nice.
@@steve00alt70 Black is the best "color" anyway And soft techwear can be found in any store for cheap, tho I guess it depends where you're from and the standards of living
Outside of the office, I generally don't dress to impress. For the most part, I'm a hoodie and jeans kind of guy. Yet i've had women way hotter than she is. Don't let this woman tell you "what used to be cool" before she even existed. Focus on being you and worry about style when it comes to making money.
I've experienced both sides of this equation. It's quite clear to me that being fit and dressing down (within reason) is more attractive to women than hiding a soft body underneath status clothing. Trust me on this, get yourself into shape before you dump any money into a wardrobe.
WORD! I like Courtney Ryan . . . she has a lot of good fashion and personal interactive sense . . . but sometimes IT IS NICE to hear a man's fashion sense. I grew up with a fashionista sister (and has the credentials that go with it), so very little of this is new to me. I like your stuff, especially an episode you had on men's cologne. I just became a subscriber!
The only time I'm going to let you know you can wear socks with sandals is in Las Vegas because the ground is so dirty that if you wear sandals your feet to turn black but at the same time it's a 100 degrees so you don't want to wear shoes
Great video Antonio! Just curious, does the person you react do usually ask you that they be featured on your video to get more exsposure, or do you do it without their consent and them knowing?
I fully agree with her about jeans and flip flops, plus flip flops make people walk like ducks and scuff their feet instead of picking them up to walk, and that is massively annoying!
I respect your opinion but the jeans and sandals look can be a great casual wear that I have received compliments . Live in San Diego so the weather fits the look
I've been using the multiple strategy for my shoes for a few years now. I found a nice white shoe, and every year I stock up and make sure I have at least 3 of them in boxes on my closet shelf in case they ever get discontinued. That way I'll have plenty of time to find a comperable replacement for when my last pair bites the dust. I've also done that with a couple of my favorite shirts too. Can't recommend the this strategy enough.
1) 1:52 Wearing socks with "SANDALS" I NEVER DID THIS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! This really sucks because wearing sandals is for open air for your feet. YOU REALLY DO LOOK STUPID IF YOU DO THIS! 2) 2:53 Flip Flops with Jeans This means wearing your slippers with your jeans/denim. I also disagree with this one. Just pair your jeans with a good looking slippers then tank top above or sleeveless or 3/4 sleeves you will look great but do not wear slippers with your jeans in some situations where you need to look more presentable. Do not wear shirt or tank top that is so long when wearing this kind of style so your legs won't look short and this will not look good for men lower than 5'5. Lastly, do not wear jeans that is touching the ground when wearing slippers for a very clean look. 3) 4:12 Overly "ACCESSORIZING" As a man I just wear a wrist watch then sometimes shades and sometimes bonnet or cap but as always just a wrist watch and I rarely wear my jewelry. If I will wear jewelry with my watch I just wear one ring usually or one ring either my left or right hand then to the other is a bracelet or ring then a short necklace with a cross. Base on my style this is not too much accessories. 4) 5:22 Flashy "BRAND LOGOS" I rarely do this or wear like this like I have one GAP EXTREME big logo orange T-Shirt. ABSOLUTELY THIS IS NOT MY STYLE! Like I said I rarely wear a shirt like this or even a tank top. I never wear a belt with big logo. The ordinary looking buckle and reversible buckle is perfect for me. 5) 8:59 Wearing too much "COLOGNE" When I was a kid I like cologne and perfume but now I ONLY RELY ON MY MANLY NATURAL SMELL AFTER TAKING A BATH! I do not believe in first impression last or wear a good fragrant perfume or cologne to attract people. But to those who likes putting cologne or perfume choose the one that is suitable for the style of your clothing and occasion. AND PLEASE DO NOT PUT TOO MUCH COLOGNE OR PERFUME! Too much of it will make you smell bad and it will hurt the nose and head of the people around you. 6) 11:07 Poor fitting "CLOTHING" Too tight fitting or too lose is bad. First, choose the right size for your body because this is THE REAL RIGHT WAY ON HOW TO BUY CLOTHES BASED ON YOUR BODY BEFORE YOU CHOOSE THE STYLE YOU WANT! Too tight will make you look stupid and too lose or large for you will make you look like a CLOTHES LINE FOR CLOTHES! 7) 12:57 Worn Out "CLOTHING" If there are too much holes to any clothes you wear INCLUDING YOUR UNDERWEAR BRIEF, PANTY AND BRA it means you need to replace these clothes of yours. TIME TO BUY A NEW SET OF CLOTHES FOR YOURSELF! 8) 14:03 "RUNNING SHOES" with jeans HAHAHAHAHA YOU ABSOLUTELY LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT IF YOU DO THIS! Casual clothes just to loiter around go to places and you will not run then you will pair your casual clothing with a physical activity shoes like the running shoes WELL YOU DO NOT JUST LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT BUT YOU HAVE NO FASHION SENSE AND YOU ARE USING THE WRONG SHOES IF YOU JUST LIKE TO ROME AROUND. Running shoes also looks bad with Corduroys. Running shoes looks good on fabric or cotton not with jeans. Pair your jeans with your Adidas Stans Smith, Adi Color or Super Star 1 or 2 or campus, pair it with Puma Roma, Turin or clyde, pair it with Vans TNT Off The Wall, C1rca, Adio, pair it with Nike Airforce 1 or with any K-Swiss casual shoes. You can also pair it with leather shoes slip on or with lace and wear a polo shirt or a real polo. 9) 15:11 Deep "V-Neck Shirt" Deep V-Neck is only for boys with big beautiful muscular chest but you do not need to keep wearing this every time you go out. A short V-Neck or round neck is better. V-Necks are better if you are wearing polo because this is more like a thin tank top when wearing polo. 10) 16:52 Cargo Shorts or Pants If you just want to go out this is fine but if you are going to date I suggest avoid wearing cargo shorts or pants. Yes there are some stylish cargo pants but hey you are on a date unless you are nature tripping with your date then wearing your hiking, running or cross training shoes paring it with your cargo pants is fine. But if you will just go within the city avoid wearing this even if you have a stylish cargo pants. Let me add if you really like to wear this cargo pants or shorts on a date choose the one that has less pockets and the one that is stylish. Remember to pair it with a very good looking casual shoes and shirt.
Most points raised here by Courtney are totally subjective. Anybody that has some dress sense knows that anything goes as long as you have the confidence and good taste to pull it off - except socks and flip flops, that’s just wrong and that is also the extent to which I agree with Courtney! My rules when it comes your individual dress sense are: 1. never take advise from a woman regarding your style; and never dress to impress a woman, dress for yourself, because you’re worth it & you want to always look a million dollars wherever you are; 2. Don’t be afraid to experiment and over time create your own unique style; 3. Always take pride in your appearance; 4. Pay particular attention to materials that are used on clothing and know what materials work for you and which ones don’t; and 5. The clothes you wear must be comfortable, functional and always make you feel good. Courtney tries to impress upon her audience her own personal rigid, limited and inexperienced views on how men should dress. She should instead focus on women’s fashion.
Great post and spot on. I think women do tend to pay more attention to their appearance than men, but the worst dressed men are usually those where the wife dresses the man.
Slides and sandals are completely different. A lot of men wear socks with slides. Especially basketball players because we want to protect our feet keep them comfortable before and after we're done playing a few games. Also it's just comfortable in warmer weather. Never gonna stop it.
I subscribed to both your channels because of the honesty and straight forwardness.... Plus I want to be a stylish & better man who dresses and acts his age. Plus I TOTALLY agree that Courtney is very easy on the eyes. As for my accessory game... An appropriate, mid priced and stylish watch and my wedding ring are my essential daily baseline... but I do like a watch chain when wearing a fabric vest and (if wearing a blazer of jacket) a pocket square ... Also a simple, small & whimsical pin on the lapel... Like a Clan Crest (I'm Scottish, soooo) or an art pin like Dali's 'melting clock', Klimt's 'the kiss' or even Peter Max's yellow submarine (LOVE The Beatles!!!)
This is a fun and helpful video. Antonio does a really good job of contrasting fashion with REAL STYLE. REAL MEN can recognize, enjoy, --and employ, both!
Flip flops, totally fine if they’re not cheap and nasty. As women, at least in my circle, were taught the clothing point system. So many points for each item of clothing, and then for shoes and each accessory, and if the clothes were basic, they would have less points than something with extra trim or something that stands out more, and when you’ve reached your maximum points, that’s it. Stop accessorizing. And though I don’t remember it precisely, it’s a good system. It goes something like this (for women, I’d knock it back to 10 points maximum for men) 2 points for a shirt, 2 points for pants (or a skirt for women, and 3-4 for a dress), 1-2 for a belt, 2 for shoes, and then accessorize, two points for earrings, 1 for a necklace, 1 for a bracelet, and don’t go over 12 points. It’s probably not precisely accurate, it’s been a few years, and it becomes second nature at some point to just know when enough is enough, but that’s the gist. So, if a woman wanted to wear 2-3 bracelets, then she should skip the necklace and just wear earrings, or vice versa if she wanted to wear two necklaces, then she should skip the bracelets. It’s also about drawing the eye from head to toe without having any one area be overly weighted with accessories. So, for example, for men, one chain or necklace, a belt, a ring, and that’s good. At most. Less is ok. Wear a necklace or a bracelet, but maybe not both. It actually draws attention to what you DO have and those simple pieces have more impact if you don’t crowd them and make them compete for attention. Obnoxious designer stuff, it’s definitely for teenagers, it screams insecurity, it cries out “I don’t have enough confidence, I had to go to the store and buy some! Does this work, do you like me now?” (Kind of like how boob jobs, weird lips from wtf plastic surgery/collagen fiascos and Botox screams “I’m shallow and insecure!” in women). Cuff links are a nice touch btw, definitely an attraction. They would count as two points on the dressing point scale. Cuff links with a nice single ring. They go together fine, but one is fine without the other. Cuff links only, or ring only is fine. Less is more. It really is. Cologne, spray it in the air and walk through it--once! A cologne should be so subtle that it makes a woman want to lean in closer to smell it. Not make her lean away and sneeze or wretch. And even at two or 3 feet away, it shouldn’t be noticeable. Cologne should create intrigue, not be a smell that you are. That’s what ladies are taught with their perfume, and it applies to men as well. Someone should only smell it faintly if they’re standing next to you, and it should intrigue them to move in closer to get a better whiff of you. Go ahead, be a tease for once. Less is more here also. Big time. If a woman can smell a man’s cologne without standing right next to him, it comes off like he’s trying to hard. For you men that do not wear cologne, men who wear cologne are not your competition. Don’t feel like you have to go out and get a signature smell, because sometimes they weed themselves out with their cologne, leaving you a nice clear path to the ladies... Unless you’re after a woman that likes to marinate in perfume herself, then by all means be a cologne man, too. Then at least you’ll have that personality trait in common to start with. It’s supposed to be alluring, not repelling. if you don’t know what cologne to buy, just regular bar soap, any brand except the dollar store stuff that has funky weird perfume in it, will do. A man that smells like he just stepped out of the shower...is a nice smell. Might even get the woman thinking about him in the shower, because she’s smelling his clean soap smell. Doesn’t have to be especially-fragranced soap, doesn’t need to be Axe or something like that. Just smell clean. Amen to V-necks! Yes! Always, always, ALWAYS better than a crew neck. Much more flattering. I would be OK if crewnecks ceased to exist. Hooray for the V-neck. Default to them. As for chest hair... Smooth skin is nice on the cheek. But if there’s chest hair, as long as it’s not long and straggly, maybe keeping it about one finger high (if you put it between your fingers and cut across the top of them, for example), not too much longer, is ok. We don’t want to see a ton of it, so a little bit of peekaboo with a V-neck and not a deep V, which of course is correct, that they belong under shirts, not as a shirt. If it’s hair on the shoulders and back, get rid of it. Wax it. Shave it. Get rid of it. Hair on the shoulders and back are going to make women think of primates. And not it a good way. A few little straggles on the shoulder aren’t a dealbreaker, but if it’s more than straggles, it needs to go. Which brings us to mono brow. Mono brow is bad, also reminiscent of primates. Trim it the same way ladies do take a bamboo skewer or a pencil and hold it from the edge of your nose (at the nostrils) to the inside edge of your eye, at the tear duct. There should be kind of a natural point where the hair grows a different direction than whatever is growing in between your eyebrows that is some kind of extra eyebrow. Everything that falls outside of that goes (anything that isn’t over your eye, anything that’s above the bridge of your nose). Now, if you’re a man that just has a few hairs there, or maybe they’re finer, don’t do this. You’re fine. Normal. Manly. It’s good. You’re good. If it’s medium thick, consider doing it. This is for those men where you can’t tell where one eyebrow leaves off...and there’s extra fur-bridge that goes over to the other eyebrow. When it visually competes with the eyebrows over the eyes, then it needs to go, if it competes. The center part. Gotta go. You probably know if you’re too hairy, and if you don’t know if you’re too hairy, maybe you are. If you have hair coming out your ears or nose, for the love of God, trim that stuff back! Be vigilant, there should be none of that.. These are places where hair is very offputting. Very. Very. Also, too much neck hair in places that you don’t normally see it, too much neck hair, even too much arm hair as well. If you’re starting to look like a primate, you’ll want to shave or wax. When in doubt, pluck it back and weed it out, and then see how much better it looks. Smooth is always better than looking furry. Women prefer their furry things to be in the form of 4-legged pets that they can love. They do not want their men to be furry. Wax it, or pluck it like women do, shave it, whatever you gotta do, get rid of it. But, we don’t want a man so overly groomed that he looks like he prefers men. So, unless you’ve got a lot of wild hairs above your eyebrows, you don’t need to trim those, you don’t have to make the kind of clean brow lines that women have. Don’t go that far. Men should still be a little rough around the edges, so we know that they are still men...men that prefer women. Otherwise, we might get a little confused. And you’ll be relegated to the “friends” list.
And my own: Things that must go! Ridiculous beards. Topiary belongs in the garden, not on a man’s face. And I don’t mean the short, razored-in styles, they are ok. It’s the “wtf, are you Amish or what?” beards, these long beards that have been hyper-manicured, rounded, weird. Creeeeepy. Creepy. Seriously. For God’s sake men, if you have a beard and it’s long, fine, just let it be long and manly. Sure, comb it, but don’t start using gel in it and don’t trim it into some sort of weird shape like when you played “make a beard with your bubble bath” when you were three years old. I seriously want to pin these men down and shave their faces, it takes all I can muster to turn the other way and not scream. It’s just so unmanly, will the real men stand up? We need a head count! I’m going to be super-sexist and say real man don’t manscape their long beards. If it’s short, or goatee length, like an inch or less, maybe a few inches longer just on the chin itself, goatee style, of course you groom those. Cut lines if you want, and do whatever you want there, but once it’s 3, 7, 10 inches long, let’s just say the longer it gets, the more unshaped by scissors it should be. That’s a good rule. The longer it is the less you should shape it by trimming it. It’s just goofy asf. (It’s totally OK to comb a long beard and “shape“ it by merely combing it into a natural form, it’s the trimming it and rounding it that it’s just appalling. It’s like men don’t know how to be men anymore so they’re trying to express themselves through some weird long beard growing thing, trying to make weird beards to be cool. It’s not cool. The shorter styles that are unique are fine. The barber cuts in something with the clippers, fine. Accentuating your facial features with a short beard that is cut to your style or highlight your bone structure, great. Long, creepy beards that are manscaped don’t accentuate anything, (they say “I spend too much time on this thing, and I’m confused as to my manhood”); not to be confused with just a nice, long manly beard that says “I’m capable of doing manly things, I’m outdoorsy”. All the difference in the world. The first one makes women think they are men that like men, and the latter makes women think they are men that like women. Come to think of it, both types might be wearing a plaid shirt, too, but the former will be wearing one that is too small with his high and tight hairdo, possibly skinny jeans and comes off feminine, and the latter will be wearing a normal-fitting plaid shirt that says “I work outside doing dude things”. Women want a guy that does dude things. At least women that like men want a guy that does at least some dude things, and I guess there are the women that figure if he can’t do dude things, at least he can hire someone who can, while he continues to be manly in other ways. I don’t want to put down men that don’t chop wood, and do electrical and plumbing, or maybe hunt, but it’s nice if they at least have the strength to do something I can’t do. or that they know how to get it sorted. That’s enough for me. Get it sorted. Take initiative. Lead. At least be willing to speak up. Stand up for your woman, too, without being unduly violent. That’s a whole other topic, behavior. Character. Ethics. Those things go a long way when you don’t have the rest, in fact, they are absolutely first and foremost, far above anything else. And your character, and your ethics, and your honesty rank above how you look or smell or how much money you can earn. If you don’t have good character and ethics, then the rest doesn’t matter at all. It’s a dealbreaker. But back to my list, after my digression... The wtf shirt. Now, this is usually seen with the ridiculous beard. The dreaded overly-fitted, too snug, plaid shirt. You know what I’m talking about, that awful short-sleeved plaid shirt that is fitted. tucked in or not it looks terrible. It is OK not to wear plaid, unless you’re a farmer or you tone it down with a jacket over it, or it’s light and understated. Honestly I’d rather see a baggy shirt on a dude than these silly slim-fit shirts, usually a size too small. It’s definitely not drawing the adoring eye of women, anyway. Perhaps men enjoy the view. Now, a slim fit shirt on a man with dress pants and a normal haircut, when the shirt is not too small, is perfectly OK. Slim fit is a dressy fit. It doesn’t need to be a size or two too small. Just normal fit. Let the women who know you better see all the muscle definition, it doesn’t have to be on display for everyone. Have a little self respect. It’s when it’s combined with this ridiculous fashion trend that it’s horrible. And these two things go along with the third, they’re kind of like an unholy trinity. It’s the short sides, floppy top hair. Hate it. Haaaaaate it. I usually see it with the ridiculous beard and the silly shirt. Who started this horrifying assault to the eyes? God forbid they should bring skinny jeans added to this fashion train wreck, but skinny jeans are definitely sending out a “not for women” message. Skinny jeans are for boys that like boys. They do not scream masculinity. It is quite simply a feminine silhouette. I would never look twice at a guy in skinny jeans, I tend to avert my eyes. There are a few cases where they are OK, for teens, skateboarders, for example, but not on a grown man seeking the company of a woman. And just not on a grown man wanting to look like a man. At best, the teens can pull off a punk rock vibe. Any of these four things, the ridiculous beard, the silly shirt, the high and tight hairdo, and the skinny jeans all definitely send out a message that the man sporting any of it prefers...men. definitely not manly or sexy to a woman. It’s nice to see a clean jawline, and don’t feel like if you don’t have a super manly jaw that you have to cover it up. You don’t. Sometimes the most manly thing is to let your weaknesses show and not care. Wear them like a badge, that’s better than an Amish beard with a high and tight hairdo and a skinny shirt. But if you DO grow a beard, and they certainly can look very nice, I would just personally prefer my cheek against a smooth one when it comes to making contact, trim it nice when it’s shorter, and then just go all biker or mountain man when it’s longer. When it’s that long you’re making a manly-man, a little rough but in good ways statement, so just go all out with it. Comb it and leave it alone. Only trim what sticks out wildly. Don’t go rounding it off and being all goofy and 10, 20, or 30 years down the road being embarrassed by topiary face. We thank you. Classic style never goes out of style, as was mentioned, in pics of Cary Grant, he looks just as fabulous today as he did in his own time. Women today would still fall all over him. Trends...can be very unmasculine (and unfeminine, for that matter, neither is good). If you have to mimic someone, don’t go with a trend, go with tried and true styles, because there are a lot of women who would much rather see that. Classic decade styles would be better than the freak shows we are seeing now in both sexes. Just being honest. 😊
The running shoe doesn’t bother me at all on men. Nor does the flip-flops with jeans. It can be sexy, the flip flops and jeans, if there an untucked shirt on top, and some undone buttons, just enough and not too many. To me “running shoes” pretty much count as a sneaker, in fact, we call them sneakers, anything that allows you to sneak is a sneaker. 😊 sure, it’s nice if a man has other pairs of shoes, but when they are active, you’re right, they need to be able to move around comfortably. It says “I am prepared to do what needs to be done, I won’t have to go home and change”. I guess it depends on what they are going to do. If they’re going out to a club or dinner or something like that, then ya, they should find some other shoes. But if they are just kicking it, sneakers are fine.
Totally agree on brand logo wears that the two main purposes for such stuffs are to flex your wealth (in a social group that loves flexing wealth, of course) and to advertise the brand. The two occasions I rarely find myself into. For general occasions, decent clothing with the right combination is enough to generate fairly good impression, it also can go pretty well in a wealth flexing social groups as well. I was a fan of tacticool wears too, including cargo pants, but as I have been doing some research in this topic, including this video, I concluded that considering changing the from cargo pants to other pants or shorts is not really going to cause any harm. In fact, after I changed from cargo pants to wear the other pants, it doesn't really affect the storage capacity. I compensate the loss of pants bags with a matching satchel or a small shoulder bag. I have been doing that after switching from the tacticool style for a big while til now and it works fine both in style and utility. The last remnant of tacticool style is my sole accessory, I often go with a black Luminox watch and sometimes with a chrome Casio Edifice.
Socks and sandals/thongs is a "idgaf" vibe. I actually don't mind it for mundane errands like popping into the grocery store to pick up 1 item. It's not exactly a fashion style though.
Exactly, the world is not obligated to be in fashion or style mode every time they leave the house. Sometimes you just gotta survive, and it really doesn’t matter what the hell people think. In fact, people that are off by that need to grow up. I think what the girl was saying is that it’s not an attraction in the dating sense. Whatever. I don’t analyze people’s clothes unless they visually assault my eyes, and there’s a lot of stuff that does, like skinny pants on a guy (or on fat girls, being honest, it does them no favors), an Amish beard, a high and tight floppy top hair cut, and a small shirt. When I see dudes dress like this, it hurts my eyes and it takes all the effort I have not to pin them down and shave their faces and give them a proper haircut and something else to wear. They just looks so lost, so incredibly lost.
I still have no clue why socks & sandals and cargo shorts/pants get so much hate....all this is advice for dudes looking for high class, high maintenance women....I date relaxed, laid back women that just want to hang out and have fun and they would completely disagree with everything both of these people said. Wear what makes you feel good and the type of woman that compliments your personality will be attracted to you.
Tbh my attitude is f**k em..like my fragrances I wear stuff that I like and for no one else..in fact that probably comes off more attractive to women because having that outlook about your style persona gives you natural swagger and confidence
That's the spirit! You're truly stylish when you feel confident, comfortable and authentic in your clothing without the fear of other people's judgement or without trying to impress others.
Here in Australia thongs (flip flops) are considered stylish with just about any attire. except budgie smugglers, nothing makes budgie smugglers acceptable ok to wear lol
Cargo pants are actually such a lifesaver for me and I might have to invest in getting some nice looking ones again. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I normally carry a backpack with me just to carry my blood kit, my insulin and some other stuff. It's a pain in the arse if I'm wanting to go out and it's too warm for a jacket with a pocket to carry that required stuff in and I've got no wear to put it. So fully support the nice looking cargos with the space being used well
I totally disagree with the"over accessorizing". I think it depends on your personal style. It works for Johnny Depp, and I think there are bigger fashion faux pas than too much jewelry with a casual style of dress. For formal wear, obviously, you shouldn't over do it. I don't agree on the v-necks. A little chest hair is just fine, especially on a fit, good looking guy, regardless of age.
Don't agree. Johnny Depp and Mr T get a pass because of their popular celebrity status. Normal every day guys aren't in the same category and it's too much.
One wrist band, one watch and a decent necklace that's all one needs as personal preference. Antonio said it best at the start I'll paraphrase in my own words "dress in a style that is similar to the kind of woman you want to date"
My take on this: Courtney likes guys that wear “boyfriend” or professional styles. She doesnt like the “single guy” look. Most of the styles she likes would be on husbands and long time boyfriends. HOWEVER, as a single man (and one who was also married/in a monogamous relationship for over 15 years) that the “single guy” look definitely attracts women. Its just that as soon as they get you... they try to restyle your wardrobe into taken/husband guy so that you wont attract women as much. Then they lose attraction to you and play headache/that time of the month/the kids are in the other room games with you till you divorce them then go back to the single guy look, make a platinum tinder profile (have to if you are over 40 and decent looking) then bang righteous amounts new squeeze.
well, the overarching point is that this is one woman's opinion. You ask 5 more women and they may all disagree with at least one thing on her list. She just happens to have a youtube channel
I enjoyed the video. Just my own comment on accessories. I wear 2 necklaces at all times. Given to me by my mother, so they never come off. Thoughts? They are not over-bearing or over-sized. Other than that, if I am out and about, a watch is always on my wrist.
Well yeah, if you can pull it off and give off a Johnny Depp rockstar vibe, go all in. I love that shit on the right man too. But many guys (and women) look like they’re trying to cosplay as “cool” hence looking over the top and ridiculous in the process
I don't really know if the fragrance rule applies to women. In one of my classes, the woman next to me wears strong perfume all the time, but I really don't mind it. That's my favorite class, and the smell makes me think of it.
Accessories!!! Is a nice touch for you image...not the focus of you image... matching color and quantity...wearing elegant one on each arm max! Plus nice watch!
As a subscriber of both channels, this one was a lot of fun. Nice to see very complimentary views, but at the same time a few differences. Always good to have multiple points of view. Really liked this one.
I’m an inadvertent men’s fashion genius. I admit, sometimes I wear clothing past it’s prime or way past its prime. I just don’t like the process of having to find another piece that I like so much and clothing gets pricey.
Great fun and entertaining video. I agree with a lot of her points, I'm a tall guy so I do agree with you on the flip-flops and jeans, though personally I don't like them. On accessorizing necklaces are totally out for me. I just have my watch on one wrist, a couple of leather bracelets on the other that my wife bought for me for casual occasions and a wedding ring. Prefer classic clothes with no loud branding. Fit is important. Just observe a heavier guy squeezed into tight jeans.
The thing about socks and sandals is a physical thing. Many people sweat badly in sandals but when you add a breathable layer of cotton then it actually keeps you cooler. For me personally its not a style issue its a health issue.
You can opt for shorter socks, that would help. Ankle socks or low-profile socks (below the ankle) are better than calf-length if it must be done. And they’ll be less hot as well. 😊
I always found brand names tacky, especially with things like gucci or supreme or any other casual brand with a big price tag. It tells me that you were poor or at the very least poor people are your target audience of impressing. It doesn’t really seem like an actual status symbol, it’s like the fashion equivalent of jingling keys in a baby’s face. It doesn’t come off as impressive or classy, and it probably won’t impress the girl you’re chasing.
1 ring per hand, 1 watch, and a tie chain is my max. If you wanted to go blinging and pull it off, add a chain on either your neck or non-watch-wrist, a pin on a jacket or shirt, and/or cuff links. A nice pen (Mont Blanc, Cross, etc) in your shirt pocket works too.
I found the older I have become, chest hair is natural and I consider it manly. I cringe at my youthful days of unnatural expectations of clean shaven chests. 🤦♀️ It doesn’t really matter either way. However, truthfully, I believe it’s just the way a man carries himself that is attractive.
This was very funny. I honestly thought you were gonna come down on her but in fact you agree with most of what she said as I do! Although I have huge reservations regarding jeans with running shoes, some combinations could be good-looking like with black jeans. But I agree it’s a bit odd.
I was once told that wealthy people like to brag about how much they spend on something, which Antonio solidifies about the story with the $100k car someone could have payed for $200k
V-necks are made to be worn under a polo or collared shirt that you are wearing without a tie so that you cannot see the top of the t-shirt sticking out underneath your collared shirt.

Would you recommend the natural deodorant for people who wear cologne ? I want to wear a deodorant that doesn’t interfere with the smell of whatever cologne I wear
I think the jeans and sandals is a Miami Beach Southern California Orange County San Diego thing like a stoner type dude however if your doing it like 3:48 to the left it's all bad may as well be peddle pushers to each is there own of course still looks silly ...And the socks with sandals is comedy .. It's like white tube socks with a suit should be illegal in 50 states 😄
Hey man not all women are the same some women like different styles some women like that style she says not all women are the same bro not everybody on this world it's the same person everybody's just different
@Lance Jesse it's not about movies it's about being yourself main thing is be yourself stop dressing men telling me what to put on or what to not put on it's what you want to put on it's the same thing y'all women nobody can tell you all what to put on nobody can make you I'll do what you want to do it's up to what you want to put on when women start judging men on clothing but it's okay but when a man judge a woman on clothing it's not okay that's kind of crazy let's say I judge that woman or her style and her clothing I will tell her oh she looked terrible with that she's going to be upset
@Leandro Tristen for months right okay and if you going to listen to someone else tell you how to be yourself you have situations that that's not good then yourself is not worrying about what somebody else telling you being yourself is to be yourself no matter what someone tells you about yourself women love a man that can be

I thought I’d seen you somewhere, and instantly knew when you mentioned Teddy!
Thank you Courtney
We all love Courtney.
Daddy
Awe 😆
my dad used to tell me that in pursuit of a woman.
dress for the woman you want.
how you dress determines what type of woman you attract.
dress trashy you get trash showy you get showy down to earth you get down to earth.
over the years i found it to be true.
i found when I dressed the way I was comfortable and at peace with myself I found a partner that complemented my personality.
proof is in the fact I've been married for 18 years and together for 20 and our magic hasn't subsided. me and her against the world basically
This lines up well with the be what you want to attract doctrine that Cortney loves so much.
General things like what women like is great info, but we live in a world of specifics. Things like what do women where I live like? Or in my culture like? Or my interests, hobbies, religion, lifestyle like? These are so much more valuable to us as specific individuals.
Wise words
Cuz you're married and not in the market.
@Soul of a robot no, but he did like them big. He always said they got to have enough to hold onto when the storm hits and the sea heaves to heaven. His tastes i suppose.

Things To Do To Improve Your Self
1. Workout
2. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
3. Own your own business/Focus on your purpose
4. Work on your social skills
5. Work on fashion/ nice wardrobe
6. Outstanding personal hygiene
7. BE TEACHABLE / never turned down an opportunity to learn something new
8. Be able to stand up for yourself & SAY NO!
9. Be able to stand alone for long periods of time.
Damn straight. Love your proverbs like dropping on RP/MGTOW and other (video game backdrop) critiques on modern society. Keep it up.
#3 - I don't know about "owning your own business" as not all of us are cut out to be or want to be, entrepreneurs. We can be very successful at what we do, but it shouldn't be the definition of what/who we are.
10. Know when it's time to move on. Don't allow yourself to be stuck someplace.
11. Be in control - Don't allow yourself to be in a situation when you are not.

"Buy your favorite pieces in multiples" This, this, this! This is the first time I've heard that advice from one of the fahsion youtubers and I can't emphasize it enough. Once upon a time, in 2013, Uniqlo made my favourite chino and I've worn the heck out of it. Shortly after they changed the cut and added a lot more stretch to the fabric, and it took me 8 years until 2021 to find another go to chino that is perfect for me without any altering aside from getting them hemmed. I'd say this is true for every basic wardrobe piece: basic solid colored tees, chinos, dark wash jeans, all the timeless stuff that will always be part of your wardrobe. Stock up on it if you find your 'perfect' piece, before they might make changes you don't like or it goes out of stock forever.
That's true. Although I might be in the minority in clothing styles... 🤔
Meaning that I prefer the majority of clothing styles, designs from early mid 2010's and mid late 2010's.
2013-2017ish.
If only I had the money to follow that advice
My wife laughed at me still rocking my cargo shorts and polo shirt. Right up until I said no when she asked me to put her phone in my leg pocket.

I know cargo shorts are not acceptable anymore, but you will never separate me from all that glorious carrying capacity.
I am also guilty of this.... My personal favorite though, is wearing a thermal undershirt under a t-shirt...
dude. i recently went shopping for jeans. normal jeans. every expensive store i went to only had skinny stretch jeans. i asked the probably gay salesguy if they had jeans for men and he literally laughed at me and turned to the next customer. went to the army dump and bought some cargo jeans. pockets i can stick my wrists into and a lot of space for the junk in the trunk.

Cargo pants fo life!!
@@fernank017 damn never thought of that.
I wore them for years, like in the phase when I did not care about looking good, only function matters. Then I thrifted my first (proper) suit jacket. I wore suit but that was just for special occassion and that was just cheap quality suit. This jacked I thrifted has much better quality. It is not bespoke but it is decent quality. The fit is not perfect but it fits relatively well. It has classic cut. It has two inside pockets and those pockets surprisingly can fit my wallet and phone without adding bulk in jacket. This jacket conviced me to get rid of my cargo pants.
@@lc4n333 all right, but hear me out: cargo pockets in suit pants. So much room for things and stuff!
Have you done the same that her? Telling women what not to do / wear from a men's perspective? I've personally not met one man who likes super swollen lips or long pointy shiny nails or hyperdark thick brows, but that's the dominating trend among women. if you've done a video like that, could you point me to it? :)
I get your point, but in fairness his channel is for men, not women. It is not reasonable to expect that from him.
@@ianbutler1983 no, but that's why I am asking. And I don't know why it would be for men, when it's exactly women who men turn to when asking for fashion advise.

Women's reply to the man's perspective of what we like is, "We don't dress to impress or appeal to you, we dress for ourselves." Well, that is my and should be more men's response to women!

As far as cologne, what she said is brilliant - the part about smelling it when they hug you. You want them to want to be close to you to smell it, then they'll get close to smell it again. Buy awesome/expensive cologne and use it sparringly.
Only if you are taken or going on a date. Other than that, as a single man you want it to project. I know because I’d worn cologne for years the way courtney says to do it (and the way my mother said to do it) and i NEVER got compliments that way. Not until i started to go 5 (or more) sprays in did i start to get compliments. Also, the examples are hyperbolic. If you are stuck in phone booth with someone (or a small room) for 4 hours.. probably take it easy. If however you are going to an outdoor event... probably want to cake the stuff on about 1 hour before you go. This will allow the fragrance to settle but still project. Cheers.
@@dimex3362 exactly. Well said.
I agree kind of. If it’s a cologne you love wear it. Some fragrances will project more but some last longer as well. I have one slightly expensive one from ysl and it last a long while. I don’t need a lot
100% Daniel. How a man smells is (potentially)an aphrodisiac for a woman.
Love a man that smells good.
Id agree but personally i get headaches from people who use too much perfume or women who lotion up AND perfume. Its just too much and often times those people try to mask their stink. For those that have a light scent i feel are way more attractive because it doesnt invadethe air of someone elses space and it says you smell clean not just nice

When I was younger I didn’t care for chest hair. Now that I’m married to someone who has chest hair I find it attractive. I feel some of these opinions will change as a girl becomes a women as well. Personally her opinions match with mine even when I was younger.
I subscribe to Courtney and also to your channel. I have always been interested in looking my best even at my age (69). Not to pick up chicks ... but to keep the chick I already have (43 yrs married) interested in me. Both your channels have been helpful in giving me new ideas and validating some of the things I already do. Thanks for your insights.
Respect.

Of all the men's fashion UA-camrs, you and Courtney are my favorite (I'm 60 years old). Alpha M is for the younger crowd and the Gazette guy is out in left field with his fashion advice. Nonetheless, you all seem like awesome people.

Pants without pockets? Are you nuts, or planning to strap on a fanny pack? Many of us need pockets for our Every Day Carry.
That is fine but it depends on your style. Simple, if your shorts or pants does not have pockets then do not forget to bring a bag with you.

Lady here, and I LOVE CHEST HAIR! I find it very attractive, especially if it looks soft and the man shows it with confidence.
With a giant chain and looks like a Mafia Thug 🤣
I am down with everything they said here except the bit about cargo shorts. I love them. I think it makes both men and women look rugged and mobile. Like they would have the skills to survive an apocalypse or build a shelter in the woods, wrestle an alligator in a swamp. And you can find ones that actually look great. Its all about the fit.
I think that in general it's easier for a woman to look good in a more militarized style. A girl can look hot if she's wearing milsurp combat pants, a guy looks like he wants people to think he's a cop or soldier.
Don't over accessories, unless you are Johnny Depp. Keep doing your thing Sir.
LOVE chest hair. Love it even more when my partner has his shirt unbuttoned at the top, looks super attractive😍
On some guys its extremely sexy. Particularly the Mediterranean types like Southern French or Italian. Also the lighter the man's hair color is the lighter their body hair so its hardly even noticeable.

Courtney Ryan has helped me understand how to carry myself and show women I'm not a creep
What do women do in return?
Luis- continue being our sweet selves.
I hate torn clothes on men and women. In the military we had a motto: clean, dry, & serviceable.
Former military here also. IMO that depends entirely on the article of clothing and when/where/how it's worn. I have a flat cap that my dog "customized" slightly for me when she was a puppy that I still wear in non-formal situations and will never repair. ; )
I think torn/ripped jeans look good on women. Especially if they're fit.

I was with her until cargo pants. That's crime against men. It's a tactical masterpiece. It's functionality over fashion. And canvas cargo pants are durable and last longer and way better than what in the market has to offer.
Just get a bag? 👀
Cargo pants are awesome when you hang out with girls who love the great outdoors and the gun range. Girlies will probably raise an eyebrow. Dress accordingly to attract the woman you want.
I'm a girl that has no problems with people wearing cargo pants. I want a pair for myself as well.
@@Antenox People can't steal your pockets
When I left Thailand and moved back to the USA I was worried about loosing all my jewelry. So I decided to wear everything I had - on the airplane. It was right about the time the last Captain Jack Pirates of the Caribbean came out. I actually enjoyed it and got more positive feedback during that flight than I had about anything. So I kept it all on and continued to get compliments. This is from women and men. I was also flying directly from Bangkok to New York City - a new rout at the time. If your not used to getting direct compliments and suddenly you get them. It makes an impression. I just kept wearing jewelry for several years. I still do on occasion but not everything still fits. [ And when I moved again three more times - I did in fact loose over half my rings and bracelets. ] This falls into the category where all the people who complain about things they have never tried. It also separates the people who think other people should fit in and if they don’t they’re a problem - and those who want to experience everything. I’ve learned a lot by being open. In fact, I never got compliments before like I did from jewelry. It gave me confidence to fit into NYC. A place known for fashion. Some girls are like this girl and aren’t going to like it. But honestly, she’s not my type. She has a nice figure but her clothes I don’t find particularly attractive or stylish. She looks boring. If she had more accessories she’d look more interesting. A few simple bracelets would up her appearance to me. I would say if you find the Johnny Depp Madonna look appealing then try it. You’ll be surprised. If you want to look like the people In sitcom TV shows like “Friends” - which I wasn’t a fan of - then its not your style. Try one bracelet.
I think what makes Antonio is so good with this is not because of his style but because he has taste. That’s what matters more. IMHO.
Haha I’ve always loved seeing a little chest hair on a guy, especially with those rolled-up sleeves.
And while I agree with most of these, I do not see a problem with cargo shorts/pants. Those pockets have got to be useful, especially in the summer, and men don’t carry purses like women do. And I like the rugged-jungle-adventurer vibe that cargos give. My issue is cargos that are plaid, or patterned instead of khaki or beige or neutral. My husband has a plaid one and it drives me crazy because 1) the pattern defeats the purpose of a cargo shirt blending into a natural environment and 2) it looks like underwear to me.
They can be hot as Antonio showed more plant sweat pants then cargo but cargo really should be worn when hiking or outdoor activites
This is for men who want an opinion from women and not from a '40 year old dad', I am a woman, and you should listen to Antonio 👌
Regarding sandals. I don't wear sandals much anymore because I my I don't like my like my feet sticking to the bottom of the footwear and I don't like to wear white socks becauuse that looks bad. I found a good compromise is to wear low cut (ankle cut) Grey or black socks.
I tried skinny jeans once. My thighs looked like sausages. I've stayed away since then. lol

@@stelqnkata5899 false quite honestly. I’m an avid biker and skier so my thighs are I’d say 90% muscle and skinny jeans/pants don’t work. Really a struggle for us :/
@@garbagejuice1 Agree 100%. I’ve struggled to find the right fitted jeans with my bodybuilder thighs and smaller waistline since the 1990s. But the stupid styles went from oversized super wide legged carpenter style jeans in the early ‘00s to the opposite extreme of tight fitted tapered leg jeans today. Some of us want to accommodate both our thick legs AND our smaller waists. Heck now even some dress suits have skinny legs. Who the heck is walking around a boardroom or a house of worship wearing super-skinny tight pants? And while we’re at it why do so many oversized dress shirts have narrow collar sizes. Who’s walking around with a fat body and a tiny neck? Some of us who work out might have a larger neck but without a huge beer belly.
I walk around with a 100 lb back pack daily. Never will my legs fit into skinny jeans.
Skinny jeans/pants are a perfect example of fashion not style. They make your hips look wide and give you chicken legs. Somewhere out there, there is a marketing executive falling out of his/her chair.
tell that to women who wear tights in public
They look ridiculous, and they are definitely not masculine. They don’t flatter anyone, especially not men, and fat women who should absolutely not be going for the sausage-link look.
You have no idea man.
It‘s not style ok, but also not fashion. It’s livestyle. I don‘t care about fashion and stuff. It’s a Rock’n’Roll thing and looks badass.
Wide hips? Chicken legs? Go to the fucking gym.
I'm used to Courtney doing reaction videos and now Antonio is making a reaction video of her video
As a woman, yes the fragrance thing absolutely applies to us too. There are some ladies who nearly bowl me over with the amount of scent on them. It’s literally painful. I don’t know if they have numbed their noses and don’t realize, or if they have a naturally dull sense of smell, or just don’t care, but it’s hard to be in the same room.
Most of them follow trends and think thats how scents should smell. Yes i hate it too. They apply extra layers! Perfumed in top of perfumed lotion!
Antonio,
Thank you for this great video. Actually, I saw also the Courtney video first, some time ago. And now with your comment and remarks, it gets even more interesting. Agreed with flip-flops with jeans or socks with sandals. But also accessive perfume also has a point. But this goes both ways for men and women as well. Especially, if you stuck with somebody for a while who used too much perfume in a close space like a plain. Luckily, the flight was only for one and a half hours.
Good job!
I've spent a shit ton on fragrances and I didn't do that to not be smelled. I've never received a compliment on a fragrance someone couldn't smell.
Obviously. But you should not be able to smell someone BEFORE he is next to you
But it should be a person in your general space, not a Deflector Shield.
Also notice how many "I and I've " you packed in that short post, it's instructive.
As a woman I would like to weigh in on the chest hair debate: I totally don't mind whatever you have growing on your front half, but I can also say that I never want to be able to see any of it sticking out of your clothing 🙈
Definitely personal preference tho
Ya just like any other part above or lower. Keep it trimmed and slimmed?
Johnny Depp looks like he is still wearing his wardrobe from his "Pirates of the Caribbean" film sets.
Agreed. Deep looks unkept and his tattoos look like a sticker book.
Oops- typo Depp … looks like …
Cargo shorts and pants are amazing, specifically the black ones.
Tech wear is the perfect example of cool and attractive fashion on men.
I think it helps in the colour, definitely. Army colours, nice fit. Two of my own fave pants are technically cargo (I know I’m a girl, but still holds), but they give off an intentional, on the go, day off from combat vibe rather than dad at Disney land. Those shows in the vid are very nice.
But techwear is very expensive and really hard to find and most of it is all black.
@@steve00alt70 Black is the best "color" anyway
And soft techwear can be found in any store for cheap, tho I guess it depends where you're from and the standards of living
Agree 100%!!!
I'll never stop wearing cargo pants!
Outside of the office, I generally don't dress to impress. For the most part, I'm a hoodie and jeans kind of guy. Yet i've had women way hotter than she is. Don't let this woman tell you "what used to be cool" before she even existed. Focus on being you and worry about style when it comes to making money.
I've experienced both sides of this equation. It's quite clear to me that being fit and dressing down (within reason) is more attractive to women than hiding a soft body underneath status clothing. Trust me on this, get yourself into shape before you dump any money into a wardrobe.
I think that Courtney pulled up some solid points, and you polished them. Great videos from two exceptional content creators.
WORD! I like Courtney Ryan . . . she has a lot of good fashion and personal interactive sense . . . but sometimes IT IS NICE to hear a man's fashion sense. I grew up with a fashionista sister (and has the credentials that go with it), so very little of this is new to me. I like your stuff, especially an episode you had on men's cologne. I just became a subscriber!
The only time I'm going to let you know you can wear socks with sandals is in Las Vegas because the ground is so dirty that if you wear sandals your feet to turn black but at the same time it's a 100 degrees so you don't want to wear shoes
As much as I hate the look that definitely seems the most logical situation to be doing that in
Courtney is a high quality woman,very respectful ⭐
Some women will overlook some of the stuff she talked about if the guy has money or fame. A good example is Johnny Depp and some rappers.
Another example, most wealthy guys over 55 lol 😄
Depp has charisma too
Great video Antonio! Just curious, does the person you react do usually ask you that they be featured on your video to get more exsposure, or do you do it without their consent and them knowing?
I fully agree with her about jeans and flip flops, plus flip flops make people walk like ducks and scuff their feet instead of picking them up to walk, and that is massively annoying!
I respect your opinion but the jeans and sandals look can be a great casual wear that I have received compliments . Live in San Diego so the weather fits the look
I've been using the multiple strategy for my shoes for a few years now. I found a nice white shoe, and every year I stock up and make sure I have at least 3 of them in boxes on my closet shelf in case they ever get discontinued. That way I'll have plenty of time to find a comperable replacement for when my last pair bites the dust. I've also done that with a couple of my favorite shirts too. Can't recommend the this strategy enough.
1) 1:52 Wearing socks with "SANDALS"
I NEVER DID THIS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! This really sucks because wearing sandals is for open air for your feet. YOU REALLY DO LOOK STUPID IF YOU DO THIS!
2) 2:53 Flip Flops with Jeans
This means wearing your slippers with your jeans/denim. I also disagree with this one. Just pair your jeans with a good looking slippers then tank top above or sleeveless or 3/4 sleeves you will look great but do not wear slippers with your jeans in some situations where you need to look more presentable. Do not wear shirt or tank top that is so long when wearing this kind of style so your legs won't look short and this will not look good for men lower than 5'5. Lastly, do not wear jeans that is touching the ground when wearing slippers for a very clean look.
3) 4:12 Overly "ACCESSORIZING"
As a man I just wear a wrist watch then sometimes shades and sometimes bonnet or cap but as always just a wrist watch and I rarely wear my jewelry. If I will wear jewelry with my watch I just wear one ring usually or one ring either my left or right hand then to the other is a bracelet or ring then a short necklace with a cross. Base on my style this is not too much accessories.
4) 5:22 Flashy "BRAND LOGOS"
I rarely do this or wear like this like I have one GAP EXTREME big logo orange T-Shirt. ABSOLUTELY THIS IS NOT MY STYLE! Like I said I rarely wear a shirt like this or even a tank top. I never wear a belt with big logo. The ordinary looking buckle and reversible buckle is perfect for me.
5) 8:59 Wearing too much "COLOGNE"
When I was a kid I like cologne and perfume but now I ONLY RELY ON MY MANLY NATURAL SMELL AFTER TAKING A BATH! I do not believe in first impression last or wear a good fragrant perfume or cologne to attract people. But to those who likes putting cologne or perfume choose the one that is suitable for the style of your clothing and occasion. AND PLEASE DO NOT PUT TOO MUCH COLOGNE OR PERFUME! Too much of it will make you smell bad and it will hurt the nose and head of the people around you.
6) 11:07 Poor fitting "CLOTHING"
Too tight fitting or too lose is bad. First, choose the right size for your body because this is THE REAL RIGHT WAY ON HOW TO BUY CLOTHES BASED ON YOUR BODY BEFORE YOU CHOOSE THE STYLE YOU WANT! Too tight will make you look stupid and too lose or large for you will make you look like a CLOTHES LINE FOR CLOTHES!
7) 12:57 Worn Out "CLOTHING"
If there are too much holes to any clothes you wear INCLUDING YOUR UNDERWEAR BRIEF, PANTY AND BRA it means you need to replace these clothes of yours. TIME TO BUY A NEW SET OF CLOTHES FOR YOURSELF!
8) 14:03 "RUNNING SHOES" with jeans
HAHAHAHAHA YOU ABSOLUTELY LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT IF YOU DO THIS! Casual clothes just to loiter around go to places and you will not run then you will pair your casual clothing with a physical activity shoes like the running shoes WELL YOU DO NOT JUST LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT BUT YOU HAVE NO FASHION SENSE AND YOU ARE USING THE WRONG SHOES IF YOU JUST LIKE TO ROME AROUND. Running shoes also looks bad with Corduroys. Running shoes looks good on fabric or cotton not with jeans. Pair your jeans with your Adidas Stans Smith, Adi Color or Super Star 1 or 2 or campus, pair it with Puma Roma, Turin or clyde, pair it with Vans TNT Off The Wall, C1rca, Adio, pair it with Nike Airforce 1 or with any K-Swiss casual shoes. You can also pair it with leather shoes slip on or with lace and wear a polo shirt or a real polo.
9) 15:11 Deep "V-Neck Shirt"
Deep V-Neck is only for boys with big beautiful muscular chest but you do not need to keep wearing this every time you go out. A short V-Neck or round neck is better. V-Necks are better if you are wearing polo because this is more like a thin tank top when wearing polo.
10) 16:52 Cargo Shorts or Pants
If you just want to go out this is fine but if you are going to date I suggest avoid wearing cargo shorts or pants. Yes there are some stylish cargo pants but hey you are on a date unless you are nature tripping with your date then wearing your hiking, running or cross training shoes paring it with your cargo pants is fine. But if you will just go within the city avoid wearing this even if you have a stylish cargo pants. Let me add if you really like to wear this cargo pants or shorts on a date choose the one that has less pockets and the one that is stylish. Remember to pair it with a very good looking casual shoes and shirt.
Most points raised here by Courtney are totally subjective.
Anybody that has some dress sense knows that anything goes as long as you have the confidence and good taste to pull it off - except socks and flip flops, that’s just wrong and that is also the extent to which I agree with Courtney!
My rules when it comes your individual dress sense are:
1. never take advise from a woman regarding your style; and never dress to impress a woman, dress for yourself, because you’re worth it & you want to always look a million dollars wherever you are;
2. Don’t be afraid to experiment and over time create your own unique style;
3. Always take pride in your appearance;
4. Pay particular attention to materials that are used on clothing and know what materials work for you and which ones don’t; and
5. The clothes you wear must be comfortable, functional and always make you feel good.
Courtney tries to impress upon her audience her own personal rigid, limited and inexperienced views on how men should dress. She should instead focus on women’s fashion.
Great post and spot on. I think women do tend to pay more attention to their appearance than men, but the worst dressed men are usually those where the wife dresses the man.
Slides and sandals are completely different. A lot of men wear socks with slides. Especially basketball players because we want to protect our feet keep them comfortable before and after we're done playing a few games. Also it's just comfortable in warmer weather. Never gonna stop it.
I subscribed to both your channels because of the honesty and straight forwardness.... Plus I want to be a stylish & better man who dresses and acts his age. Plus I TOTALLY agree that Courtney is very easy on the eyes. As for my accessory game... An appropriate, mid priced and stylish watch and my wedding ring are my essential daily baseline... but I do like a watch chain when wearing a fabric vest and (if wearing a blazer of jacket) a pocket square ... Also a simple, small & whimsical pin on the lapel... Like a Clan Crest (I'm Scottish, soooo) or an art pin like Dali's 'melting clock', Klimt's 'the kiss' or even Peter Max's yellow submarine (LOVE The Beatles!!!)
This is a fun and helpful video. Antonio does a really good job of contrasting fashion with REAL STYLE. REAL MEN can recognize, enjoy, --and employ, both!
Flip flops, totally fine if they’re not cheap and nasty.
As women, at least in my circle, were taught the clothing point system. So many points for each item of clothing, and then for shoes and each accessory, and if the clothes were basic, they would have less points than something with extra trim or something that stands out more, and when you’ve reached your maximum points, that’s it. Stop accessorizing. And though I don’t remember it precisely, it’s a good system. It goes something like this (for women, I’d knock it back to 10 points maximum for men) 2 points for a shirt, 2 points for pants (or a skirt for women, and 3-4 for a dress), 1-2 for a belt, 2 for shoes, and then accessorize, two points for earrings, 1 for a necklace, 1 for a bracelet, and don’t go over 12 points. It’s probably not precisely accurate, it’s been a few years, and it becomes second nature at some point to just know when enough is enough, but that’s the gist. So, if a woman wanted to wear 2-3 bracelets, then she should skip the necklace and just wear earrings, or vice versa if she wanted to wear two necklaces, then she should skip the bracelets. It’s also about drawing the eye from head to toe without having any one area be overly weighted with accessories.
So, for example, for men, one chain or necklace, a belt, a ring, and that’s good. At most. Less is ok. Wear a necklace or a bracelet, but maybe not both. It actually draws attention to what you DO have and those simple pieces have more impact if you don’t crowd them and make them compete for attention. Obnoxious designer stuff, it’s definitely for teenagers, it screams insecurity, it cries out “I don’t have enough confidence, I had to go to the store and buy some! Does this work, do you like me now?” (Kind of like how boob jobs, weird lips from wtf plastic surgery/collagen fiascos and Botox screams “I’m shallow and insecure!” in women). Cuff links are a nice touch btw, definitely an attraction. They would count as two points on the dressing point scale. Cuff links with a nice single ring. They go together fine, but one is fine without the other. Cuff links only, or ring only is fine. Less is more. It really is.
Cologne, spray it in the air and walk through it--once! A cologne should be so subtle that it makes a woman want to lean in closer to smell it. Not make her lean away and sneeze or wretch. And even at two or 3 feet away, it shouldn’t be noticeable. Cologne should create intrigue, not be a smell that you are. That’s what ladies are taught with their perfume, and it applies to men as well. Someone should only smell it faintly if they’re standing next to you, and it should intrigue them to move in closer to get a better whiff of you. Go ahead, be a tease for once. Less is more here also. Big time. If a woman can smell a man’s cologne without standing right next to him, it comes off like he’s trying to hard.
For you men that do not wear cologne, men who wear cologne are not your competition. Don’t feel like you have to go out and get a signature smell, because sometimes they weed themselves out with their cologne, leaving you a nice clear path to the ladies... Unless you’re after a woman that likes to marinate in perfume herself, then by all means be a cologne man, too. Then at least you’ll have that personality trait in common to start with.
It’s supposed to be alluring, not repelling. if you don’t know what cologne to buy, just regular bar soap, any brand except the dollar store stuff that has funky weird perfume in it, will do. A man that smells like he just stepped out of the shower...is a nice smell. Might even get the woman thinking about him in the shower, because she’s smelling his clean soap smell. Doesn’t have to be especially-fragranced soap, doesn’t need to be Axe or something like that. Just smell clean.
Amen to V-necks! Yes! Always, always, ALWAYS better than a crew neck. Much more flattering. I would be OK if crewnecks ceased to exist. Hooray for the V-neck. Default to them.
As for chest hair... Smooth skin is nice on the cheek. But if there’s chest hair, as long as it’s not long and straggly, maybe keeping it about one finger high (if you put it between your fingers and cut across the top of them, for example), not too much longer, is ok. We don’t want to see a ton of it, so a little bit of peekaboo with a V-neck and not a deep V, which of course is correct, that they belong under shirts, not as a shirt.
If it’s hair on the shoulders and back, get rid of it. Wax it. Shave it. Get rid of it. Hair on the shoulders and back are going to make women think of primates. And not it a good way. A few little straggles on the shoulder aren’t a dealbreaker, but if it’s more than straggles, it needs to go.
Which brings us to mono brow. Mono brow is bad, also reminiscent of primates. Trim it the same way ladies do take a bamboo skewer or a pencil and hold it from the edge of your nose (at the nostrils) to the inside edge of your eye, at the tear duct. There should be kind of a natural point where the hair grows a different direction than whatever is growing in between your eyebrows that is some kind of extra eyebrow. Everything that falls outside of that goes (anything that isn’t over your eye, anything that’s above the bridge of your nose).
Now, if you’re a man that just has a few hairs there, or maybe they’re finer, don’t do this. You’re fine. Normal. Manly. It’s good. You’re good. If it’s medium thick, consider doing it.
This is for those men where you can’t tell where one eyebrow leaves off...and there’s extra fur-bridge that goes over to the other eyebrow. When it visually competes with the eyebrows over the eyes, then it needs to go, if it competes. The center part. Gotta go. You probably know if you’re too hairy, and if you don’t know if you’re too hairy, maybe you are. If you have hair coming out your ears or nose, for the love of God, trim that stuff back! Be vigilant, there should be none of that.. These are places where hair is very offputting. Very. Very. Also, too much neck hair in places that you don’t normally see it, too much neck hair, even too much arm hair as well. If you’re starting to look like a primate, you’ll want to shave or wax. When in doubt, pluck it back and weed it out, and then see how much better it looks. Smooth is always better than looking furry. Women prefer their furry things to be in the form of 4-legged pets that they can love. They do not want their men to be furry. Wax it, or pluck it like women do, shave it, whatever you gotta do, get rid of it.
But, we don’t want a man so overly groomed that he looks like he prefers men. So, unless you’ve got a lot of wild hairs above your eyebrows, you don’t need to trim those, you don’t have to make the kind of clean brow lines that women have. Don’t go that far. Men should still be a little rough around the edges, so we know that they are still men...men that prefer women. Otherwise, we might get a little confused. And you’ll be relegated to the “friends” list.
And my own: Things that must go!
Ridiculous beards. Topiary belongs in the garden, not on a man’s face. And I don’t mean the short, razored-in styles, they are ok. It’s the “wtf, are you Amish or what?” beards, these long beards that have been hyper-manicured, rounded, weird. Creeeeepy. Creepy. Seriously. For God’s sake men, if you have a beard and it’s long, fine, just let it be long and manly. Sure, comb it, but don’t start using gel in it and don’t trim it into some sort of weird shape like when you played “make a beard with your bubble bath” when you were three years old. I seriously want to pin these men down and shave their faces, it takes all I can muster to turn the other way and not scream. It’s just so unmanly, will the real men stand up? We need a head count!
I’m going to be super-sexist and say real man don’t manscape their long beards. If it’s short, or goatee length, like an inch or less, maybe a few inches longer just on the chin itself, goatee style, of course you groom those. Cut lines if you want, and do whatever you want there, but once it’s 3, 7, 10 inches long, let’s just say the longer it gets, the more unshaped by scissors it should be. That’s a good rule. The longer it is the less you should shape it by trimming it. It’s just goofy asf. (It’s totally OK to comb a long beard and “shape“ it by merely combing it into a natural form, it’s the trimming it and rounding it that it’s just appalling. It’s like men don’t know how to be men anymore so they’re trying to express themselves through some weird long beard growing thing, trying to make weird beards to be cool. It’s not cool. The shorter styles that are unique are fine. The barber cuts in something with the clippers, fine. Accentuating your facial features with a short beard that is cut to your style or highlight your bone structure, great.
Long, creepy beards that are manscaped don’t accentuate anything, (they say “I spend too much time on this thing, and I’m confused as to my manhood”); not to be confused with just a nice, long manly beard that says “I’m capable of doing manly things, I’m outdoorsy”. All the difference in the world.
The first one makes women think they are men that like men, and the latter makes women think they are men that like women. Come to think of it, both types might be wearing a plaid shirt, too, but the former will be wearing one that is too small with his high and tight hairdo, possibly skinny jeans and comes off feminine, and the latter will be wearing a normal-fitting plaid shirt that says “I work outside doing dude things”. Women want a guy that does dude things. At least women that like men want a guy that does at least some dude things, and I guess there are the women that figure if he can’t do dude things, at least he can hire someone who can, while he continues to be manly in other ways. I don’t want to put down men that don’t chop wood, and do electrical and plumbing, or maybe hunt, but it’s nice if they at least have the strength to do something I can’t do. or that they know how to get it sorted. That’s enough for me. Get it sorted. Take initiative. Lead. At least be willing to speak up. Stand up for your woman, too, without being unduly violent.
That’s a whole other topic, behavior. Character. Ethics. Those things go a long way when you don’t have the rest, in fact, they are absolutely first and foremost, far above anything else. And your character, and your ethics, and your honesty rank above how you look or smell or how much money you can earn. If you don’t have good character and ethics, then the rest doesn’t matter at all. It’s a dealbreaker.
But back to my list, after my digression...
The wtf shirt. Now, this is usually seen with the ridiculous beard. The dreaded overly-fitted, too snug, plaid shirt. You know what I’m talking about, that awful short-sleeved plaid shirt that is fitted. tucked in or not it looks terrible. It is OK not to wear plaid, unless you’re a farmer or you tone it down with a jacket over it, or it’s light and understated. Honestly I’d rather see a baggy shirt on a dude than these silly slim-fit shirts, usually a size too small. It’s definitely not drawing the adoring eye of women, anyway. Perhaps men enjoy the view.
Now, a slim fit shirt on a man with dress pants and a normal haircut, when the shirt is not too small, is perfectly OK. Slim fit is a dressy fit. It doesn’t need to be a size or two too small. Just normal fit. Let the women who know you better see all the muscle definition, it doesn’t have to be on display for everyone. Have a little self respect. It’s when it’s combined with this ridiculous fashion trend that it’s horrible.
And these two things go along with the third, they’re kind of like an unholy trinity. It’s the short sides, floppy top hair. Hate it. Haaaaaate it. I usually see it with the ridiculous beard and the silly shirt. Who started this horrifying assault to the eyes? God forbid they should bring skinny jeans added to this fashion train wreck, but skinny jeans are definitely sending out a “not for women” message. Skinny jeans are for boys that like boys. They do not scream masculinity. It is quite simply a feminine silhouette. I would never look twice at a guy in skinny jeans, I tend to avert my eyes. There are a few cases where they are OK, for teens, skateboarders, for example, but not on a grown man seeking the company of a woman. And just not on a grown man wanting to look like a man. At best, the teens can pull off a punk rock vibe.
Any of these four things, the ridiculous beard, the silly shirt, the high and tight hairdo, and the skinny jeans all definitely send out a message that the man sporting any of it prefers...men. definitely not manly or sexy to a woman.
It’s nice to see a clean jawline, and don’t feel like if you don’t have a super manly jaw that you have to cover it up. You don’t. Sometimes the most manly thing is to let your weaknesses show and not care. Wear them like a badge, that’s better than an Amish beard with a high and tight hairdo and a skinny shirt. But if you DO grow a beard, and they certainly can look very nice, I would just personally prefer my cheek against a smooth one when it comes to making contact, trim it nice when it’s shorter, and then just go all biker or mountain man when it’s longer. When it’s that long you’re making a manly-man, a little rough but in good ways statement, so just go all out with it. Comb it and leave it alone. Only trim what sticks out wildly. Don’t go rounding it off and being all goofy and 10, 20, or 30 years down the road being embarrassed by topiary face.
We thank you. Classic style never goes out of style, as was mentioned, in pics of Cary Grant, he looks just as fabulous today as he did in his own time. Women today would still fall all over him. Trends...can be very unmasculine (and unfeminine, for that matter, neither is good). If you have to mimic someone, don’t go with a trend, go with tried and true styles, because there are a lot of women who would much rather see that. Classic decade styles would be better than the freak shows we are seeing now in both sexes. Just being honest. 😊
Hey don’t get caught wearing some dumb ass shoe you can’t run in. Most guys wear shoes we can defend ourselves in! That’s one reason why many do!!
I wear boots, steel toe boots, and more boots.
Most guys? Good name for a shoe: Nike Defenders.
The running shoe doesn’t bother me at all on men. Nor does the flip-flops with jeans. It can be sexy, the flip flops and jeans, if there an untucked shirt on top, and some undone buttons, just enough and not too many.
To me “running shoes” pretty much count as a sneaker, in fact, we call them sneakers, anything that allows you to sneak is a sneaker. 😊 sure, it’s nice if a man has other pairs of shoes, but when they are active, you’re right, they need to be able to move around comfortably. It says “I am prepared to do what needs to be done, I won’t have to go home and change”. I guess it depends on what they are going to do. If they’re going out to a club or dinner or something like that, then ya, they should find some other shoes. But if they are just kicking it, sneakers are fine.
And by “sneakers” I mean “running shoes”...they are also sneakers, just a more casual form.
@@MrTeff999 oh so name a shoe you can run and be athletic in? I’ll wait.
Great info Antonio, it helped me in life and for a UA-cam idea. I hope to see you back on Clubhouse soon.
RMR: She has a good camera presence, she has nice background, she is in focus, she looks beautiful...
Me: two unhooked buttons...
Yeah, after that first pic, I can't remember what she looks like.
NO LOGOS but look at the left side: "CHANEL"
Totally agree on brand logo wears that the two main purposes for such stuffs are to flex your wealth (in a social group that loves flexing wealth, of course) and to advertise the brand. The two occasions I rarely find myself into. For general occasions, decent clothing with the right combination is enough to generate fairly good impression, it also can go pretty well in a wealth flexing social groups as well.
I was a fan of tacticool wears too, including cargo pants, but as I have been doing some research in this topic, including this video, I concluded that considering changing the from cargo pants to other pants or shorts is not really going to cause any harm. In fact, after I changed from cargo pants to wear the other pants, it doesn't really affect the storage capacity. I compensate the loss of pants bags with a matching satchel or a small shoulder bag. I have been doing that after switching from the tacticool style for a big while til now and it works fine both in style and utility.
The last remnant of tacticool style is my sole accessory, I often go with a black Luminox watch and sometimes with a chrome Casio Edifice.
Socks and sandals/thongs is a "idgaf" vibe. I actually don't mind it for mundane errands like popping into the grocery store to pick up 1 item. It's not exactly a fashion style though.
in tongs? u da man bra! 😂👍😎
Exactly, the world is not obligated to be in fashion or style mode every time they leave the house. Sometimes you just gotta survive, and it really doesn’t matter what the hell people think. In fact, people that are off by that need to grow up. I think what the girl was saying is that it’s not an attraction in the dating sense. Whatever. I don’t analyze people’s clothes unless they visually assault my eyes, and there’s a lot of stuff that does, like skinny pants on a guy (or on fat girls, being honest, it does them no favors), an Amish beard, a high and tight floppy top hair cut, and a small shirt. When I see dudes dress like this, it hurts my eyes and it takes all the effort I have not to pin them down and shave their faces and give them a proper haircut and something else to wear. They just looks so lost, so incredibly lost.
I still have no clue why socks & sandals and cargo shorts/pants get so much hate....all this is advice for dudes looking for high class, high maintenance women....I date relaxed, laid back women that just want to hang out and have fun and they would completely disagree with everything both of these people said.
Wear what makes you feel good and the type of woman that compliments your personality will be attracted to you.
Tbh my attitude is f**k em..like my fragrances I wear stuff that I like and for no one else..in fact that probably comes off more attractive to women because having that outlook about your style persona gives you natural swagger and confidence
That's the spirit! You're truly stylish when you feel confident, comfortable and authentic in your clothing without the fear of other people's judgement or without trying to impress others.
This.
unironically using swagger in 2021
I love Courtney Ryan and her advises are gold to me and made me who I am today! My life got better thanks to her!🥰
Here in Australia thongs (flip flops) are considered stylish with just about any attire. except budgie smugglers, nothing makes budgie smugglers acceptable ok to wear lol
Cargo pants are actually such a lifesaver for me and I might have to invest in getting some nice looking ones again. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I normally carry a backpack with me just to carry my blood kit, my insulin and some other stuff. It's a pain in the arse if I'm wanting to go out and it's too warm for a jacket with a pocket to carry that required stuff in and I've got no wear to put it. So fully support the nice looking cargos with the space being used well
I totally disagree with the"over accessorizing". I think it depends on your personal style. It works for Johnny Depp, and I think there are bigger fashion faux pas than too much jewelry with a casual style of dress. For formal wear, obviously, you shouldn't over do it. I don't agree on the v-necks. A little chest hair is just fine, especially on a fit, good looking guy, regardless of age.
Hell yeah, accessorizing worked for Mr. T
Don't agree. Johnny Depp and Mr T get a pass because of their popular celebrity status. Normal every day guys aren't in the same category and it's too much.
One wrist band, one watch and a decent necklace that's all one needs as personal preference.
Antonio said it best at the start I'll paraphrase in my own words "dress in a style that is similar to the kind of woman you want to date"
Cargo pants nowadays are very useful for carrying the mask and the gel ;-)
I agree with everything she said except I love chest hair.
A woman wrote a book about relationships, said men have three qualifications for women, but women said they need 300 qualifications for men.
so which section of the book did you rip out? Hehe
I agree about chest hair! Skinny jeans are a no. Sandals with socks are a no. Less is more. Good discussion even if it is a reaction video.
My take on this:
Courtney likes guys that wear “boyfriend” or professional styles. She doesnt like the “single guy” look. Most of the styles she likes would be on husbands and long time boyfriends. HOWEVER, as a single man (and one who was also married/in a monogamous relationship for over 15 years) that the “single guy” look definitely attracts women. Its just that as soon as they get you... they try to restyle your wardrobe into taken/husband guy so that you wont attract women as much. Then they lose attraction to you and play headache/that time of the month/the kids are in the other room games with you till you divorce them then go back to the single guy look, make a platinum tinder profile (have to if you are over 40 and decent looking) then bang righteous amounts new squeeze.
well, the overarching point is that this is one woman's opinion. You ask 5 more women and they may all disagree with at least one thing on her list. She just happens to have a youtube channel
I enjoyed the video. Just my own comment on accessories. I wear 2 necklaces at all times. Given to me by my mother, so they never come off. Thoughts?
They are not over-bearing or over-sized. Other than that, if I am out and about, a watch is always on my wrist.
I like the rocker look. So yeah, some people would say that I probably over accessorize. But eh, that is just me. 😂
The key thing about fashion is that if it reflects you then you’ll be fine.
Well yeah, if you can pull it off and give off a Johnny Depp rockstar vibe, go all in. I love that shit on the right man too.
But many guys (and women) look like they’re trying to cosplay as “cool” hence looking over the top and ridiculous in the process
@@melocoton7 this, exactly.
varvados is the answer - rock fashion to grow old with- subtle or overt. But mostly subtle.
I don't really know if the fragrance rule applies to women. In one of my classes, the woman next to me wears strong perfume all the time, but I really don't mind it. That's my favorite class, and the smell makes me think of it.
I'm Russian and I don't like flashy brand logos :)) Thanks for video! 👍
Accessories!!! Is a nice touch for you image...not the focus of you image... matching color and quantity...wearing elegant one on each arm max! Plus nice watch!
As a subscriber of both channels, this one was a lot of fun. Nice to see very complimentary views, but at the same time a few differences. Always good to have multiple points of view. Really liked this one.
I’m an inadvertent men’s fashion genius.
I admit, sometimes I wear clothing past it’s prime or way past its prime. I just don’t like the process of having to find another piece that I like so much and clothing gets pricey.
I don't remember flip flops and jeans in the 90's. The 2000's yes
Great fun and entertaining video. I agree with a lot of her points, I'm a tall guy so I do agree with you on the flip-flops and jeans, though personally I don't like them. On accessorizing necklaces are totally out for me. I just have my watch on one wrist, a couple of leather bracelets on the other that my wife bought for me for casual occasions and a wedding ring. Prefer classic clothes with no loud branding. Fit is important. Just observe a heavier guy squeezed into tight jeans.
The thing about socks and sandals is a physical thing. Many people sweat badly in sandals but when you add a breathable layer of cotton then it actually keeps you cooler. For me personally its not a style issue its a health issue.
Exactly......and let's just say some men's nails don't exactly look nice.
You can opt for shorter socks, that would help. Ankle socks or low-profile socks (below the ankle) are better than calf-length if it must be done. And they’ll be less hot as well. 😊
@@jasondonovan1408 They can get a pedicure... As long as they don’t go for nail polish, they’ll still be manly.
I always found brand names tacky, especially with things like gucci or supreme or any other casual brand with a big price tag. It tells me that you were poor or at the very least poor people are your target audience of impressing. It doesn’t really seem like an actual status symbol, it’s like the fashion equivalent of jingling keys in a baby’s face. It doesn’t come off as impressive or classy, and it probably won’t impress the girl you’re chasing.
Your content stands well on its own without having to step into the "reaction" crowd.
1 ring per hand, 1 watch, and a tie chain is my max. If you wanted to go blinging and pull it off, add a chain on either your neck or non-watch-wrist, a pin on a jacket or shirt, and/or cuff links. A nice pen (Mont Blanc, Cross, etc) in your shirt pocket works too.
I found the older I have become, chest hair is natural and I consider it manly. I cringe at my youthful days of unnatural expectations of clean shaven chests. 🤦♀️ It doesn’t really matter either way. However, truthfully, I believe it’s just the way a man carries himself that is attractive.
What do you think of men’s Bermuda shorts? Or Mens classic Timberland lug shoes?
Flip-flops and jeans were cool in early 2000s, more than 90s imo. The 90s were about boots and skater shoes.
that was more mid-late 90's. early 90's was pump up sneakers lol.
@@FloridaManRacer yep
This was very funny. I honestly thought you were gonna come down on her but in fact you agree with most of what she said as I do! Although I have huge reservations regarding jeans with running shoes, some combinations could be good-looking like with black jeans. But I agree it’s a bit odd.
I was once told that wealthy people like to brag about how much they spend on something, which Antonio solidifies about the story with the $100k car someone could have payed for $200k
V-necks are made to be worn under a polo or collared shirt that you are wearing without a tie so that you cannot see the top of the t-shirt sticking out underneath your collared shirt.
