Advice

   One of the best pieces of advice I was ever given was to make sure to always go out in public looking presentable. You never know when the love of your life, a job opportunity, or a new friend is going to go by. I'm not saying you need to wear a suit everyday, but it does help if you do something with your scruff on your neck, and don't go out in pajamas or sweatpants all the time. People take notice of this stuff. More than you might think.
   Does someone think you're irresponsible? Dress up a little more than usual every time you see them and don't make a big deal out of it. Don't even bring it up if they don't say anything about it.
   This also helps with self-confidence. I'm sure you've noticed that when you're walking around in a suit, you feel more confident and you aren't afraid to do things that you normally wouldn't. Maybe that includes talking to a girl, or confronting a coworker or boss about something.
   Have you ever noticed how awesome Barney Stinson feels in a suit? He has 100% confidence that every girl he talks to will be interested in him. Obviously that isn't true, but his suit allows him to retain his confidence after being shot down and continue to his next target. Looking good leads to feeling good. I can promise that.


Look good, smell good, act good.
