Actually, glasses have become a fashion accessory just like anything else you wear. I can see growing a beard if you've always wanted to, but I doubt guys would slack off on hygiene, like bathing and combing your hair, even if they decided to grow it longer, or shave it into a mohawk...HA HA!

I can't believe so many of you only maintain yourselves in a certain way JUST because of women. Part of it is always about how you look to yourself in the mirror, and how you feel personally. When you look good, you also feel better about yourself. You're saying you'd let your very health deteriorate if you could still get pussy? Frankly, if you let yourself go, you wouldn't be capable of slaying pussy the way it should be slayed.

Frankly, this sounds like what chicks do when they're IN a relationship. They have what they want, so they let themselves go.

Oh please. All you people saying you do it for yourself 'n all that are just being ridiculous. Do tell us the functional utility of the following things:
- Washboard Abs
- The low-bf "Ripped" look. Seriously, what's the point w/ having a low bf if women didn't react positively to it? I mean it's not really necessary for strength purposes - just look at the physiques of professional powerlifters for instance.
- Nice haircut
- Shaving
- Suits et al - Would you really bother w/ suits or those Mark Nasons or whataver it is you wear when you go it? Bespoke or not, a suit will never be that comfortable... Same with shoes.

Well to be fair looks also count for guys. Like for business and for people to take you seriously. No homo but I like hanging around guys that dress well, are clean and look good. Part of it is because you will attract more girls with people like this but another part its just more aesthetically pleasing.

Someone will always take an extreme position to try to prove a point. I think most guys don't try to get bodybuilding physiques to get girls. Those guys simply like to work out for the joy of working out and building their bodies, but they aren't doing it for women. Most men don't wear suits except for work or some kind of event that calls for one.

Really? Then do explain why don't people aspire to have the physiques of powerlifters or olympic weightlifters instead? Wh6 do so many care about those abs?

My point was we do a lot of things because of others. Whether that's because of other women, men, prospective employers or business partners, it's still because of others. There are no intrinsic benefits to the examples I gave in my other post.

[flyfreshandyoung]

Fingernails- They are so much more useful when longer...

But I'm of the belief that we do everything we do, subconsciously or not, for mating purposes. All rationalizations and justifications don't matter.

I'd be totally out of shape and slovenly if it didn't matter

[CJ]

I wouldn't change a damn thing.

I'd keep shaving my head because it's convenient when I shower and work. I'd continue shaving my beard when I feel like it. Right now I'm doing the 'NHL Play-off beard thing', but my team hasn't won since 2008, so this year should I get that urge to shave, I will.

I don't wear suits or dress shirts unless I feel like it, or I'm going to a formal event. I've never had a problem picking up girls while wearing a t-shirt and jeans.

I work out from time to time, simply because I enjoy physical activity. Regardless of if I did or did not, I'd still never be fat. My dad is pretty much the same way, and has a pretty awful diet, yet has never fluctuated far from 180lbs. I guess I'm fortunate in that sense.

As some others have alluded to, I don't have to act or dress a certain way to get pussy. I have far too much confidence in myself and my skills at this point.

[UnW]

Don't think I'd change much, maybe not wear formal clothes that much and wear something that's a bit more comfortable.

[Safado]

I would walk around in my underwear and sandals with war paint on my chest

[Sparks123]

I wouldn't change a huge amount. My face gets itchy if I go more than a week without shaving and I feel better emotionally after a good workout. I'd wear baggier jeans and sweatshirts because they're more comfortable.

[redacted]

I like to look good because it's a reflection of my ability as a man to get what I want. Part of 'getting what i want' is attracting women, but I genuinely enjoy the way I feel when I dress well and am in good shape.

Even if you remove women from the equation, it is still just a way to show and measure my status.

Why use powerlifters as an example in this context? They do what they do for competition. Powerlifters train for functional strength, and they actually NEED the big belly for what they do. Most women I know and talk to don't find the bodybuilder physique to be attractive at all, especially guys that get freakishly big. A lean, defined physique is probably the ideal, but it isn't as if guys that don't work out, that aren't in poor shape but aren't particularly defined don't get ass. Sure, there are benefits to having a great physique in that others notice it, but most men I know stay fit because they like being healthy and active. A good build is a by-product of that, and an additional benefit is that chicks like it.

[Giovonny]

I would eat more unhealthy food
Wear shorts, sweats, and sandels everywhere
never get a haircut
rarely shave
drive a fucked up car

[Mrs. Chocolate]

I would be the same.
I am not a femme fatalle and I am not worried about looking like.

I'm in the same boat as Walnut in that I wouldn't change much. I've got a tinge of narcissist so if anything I might be a bit more experimental with my hair, accessories, and clothes. I work out and stay in shape because it's part of my healthy lifestyle. That and I plan to live a long time. The laziness that comes with a lack of self-discipline for your appearance isn't something I'd be proud of, I guess it's how I was raised.

This.

Only thing is I'd probably become lazier about the gym.

[canucktraveller]

It's really amazing that so many people sad they would eat less healthy.

The only reason you eat healthy is to look good and impress women? yikes

I'd be exactly the same as I am now.
I work out because I love it. Lifting weights gives me enjoyment and I do it primarily for myself.
I like to take care of my appearance too. Even if I was the last person on earth, I'd still dress well.
I don't have suit money (I'm a student) but if I did I'd still rock bespoke suits everyday.

You have to put yourself first. If you don't, it means your living for what people think of you, rather than what you think of yourself.

No I take care of myself for me first and foremost. Sorry if my post made it seem other wise.

[reaper23]

my beard is already unruly. my hair is wild, i have to slick it down and back for work, gordon gekko style. i already eat and lift like a power lifter. i wear tshirts, jeans and fry boots everywhere.

dunno what i would change really, probably not much. be less concerned about my breath maybe.

thats actually a big one. i'd eat more onions and garlic before going out and i wouldnt care about keto breath.

[WesternCancer]

I would probably be the same as I am now. Which is not where I want to be, its where I am after a lifetime of not giving a shit about my appearance/health. (Its not as bad as it sounds)

Ya, I know, that sounds crazy huh?

I eat good for my health of course, but I also eat healthy because it helps me to look good and be more attractive. My skin is way better, my physique, my hair, the bags under my eyes, etc.

I look way better when I eat better.

Is it bad that I eat healthy partly to look good and be attractive to women??

I thought my #1 job as a man was to attract and bang females?

Isn't that our first natural instinct?

Fight/Flight - Feed - Fuck. Those are our primal instincts.

Am I taking "fucking" to serious?

No one said it was the ONLY reason they eat healthy. You added the word "only". We merely suggested that it was part of the reason.

I would just eat more ice cream and sacrifice my 6pack.

I would let my hair grow and probably wear it in some type of ponytail.
I would stop maintaining the borders of my beard (neck and cheeks).
I would wear glasses more instead of contacts.
I'd wear a one-piece garb like the Arabs in the desert wear (for comfort).

I'd probably slack off on the gym too.

I'd also wear some kind of loose clothing. Either that or I'd dress like Dracula or something that I thought was cool when I was a kid. Like Luke Skywalker or some comic book character.

I think I'd still exercise to stay health, but I'd probably let my hair grow out, and would not wear deodorant or shower that much.

Also, I wouldn't care if my clothes got stained. And I'd probably wear a durag or something.

Essentially, I'd revert to being a 14 year old in the 1990s.

[Cookie]

700 pounds and ride around in a rascal while repping a mullet. Actually I'd probably just look the exact same.

[Nineteen84]

The same. If appearance had no impact on status at all? Well that would be a Different story.

[Alpha Mind]

I would have to stay in shape to some degree...most likely continue doing a minimal amount of kettlebell swings and pullups. There is something to be said for being fit enough to survive in the wilderness under duress. I also would never be okay with being so out of shape that I needed to breathe heavily after ascending a flight of stairs, or following some obscenely gluttonous meal.

However, I would only cut my hair to prevent it from obscuring my vision, rock acid-wash jeans--with holes in them--and sport some kind of ugly and/or offensive graphic tee that I found funny. I have one in my closet that says "I'm on acid?" that hasn't seen daylight in years...
