1.) Lizard Hunting Sandals
You've probably heard that sandals and socks are uncool. Michelle and I are going to take it a step further and make things bit more specific and simple: just don't wear these kind of sandals, period. We don't know what they're called, so we've dubbed them the "lizard hunting sandals" because they're definitely for nature nerds. Common offenders for this one tend to be very stubborn and/or hopeless.

2.) More hair gel=more sexyAt least that's what this guy seems to think.
Considering the fact that the Mexican population is still increasing in the States, I am seriously considering investing in hair gel as it appears it is (still) quite popular in the Hispanic male population. While I'm looking forward to my guaranteed fortune, there are some drawbacks that only a full force grassroots campaign can correct.
Drawbacks:1.) It looks greasy and dirty while at
the same time making your head look disproportionately large (see left photo). I suppose this could be similar to when male birds fluff out their feathers to appear larger in their mating dances.2.) The "I heart hair gel" look definitely diminishes chances of someone (anyone) running their fingers through your hair.
3.) You could lose your job. A dude named John Graham got suspended from his job at the London airport for using too much hair gel.
Michelle's interjection: a bit of gel is a very good thing. As seen below, a dab can significantly improve a gentleman's prospects with a lady and simultaneously contribute to his
marksmanship.3.) A beard is worth a thousand words
Beards are basically billboards that can communicate one of two things: a) Yes, I still spend less money on cosmetics than my girlfriend or b) Maybe if I just grow a distinguished beard, nobody will notice that I haven't applied deodorant in 3 days.
A beard done right is a rare thing indeed, although the New York Times seems to think it's the latest and greatest way to assert masculinity against a wave of metro fashions.
Keep in mind, however, that the beard may not be the best policy among the ladies. I'll let this Psychology Today article excerpt speak to that:
Our results reflected the current cultural preference for clean-shaven
faces. Sixty percent of male respondents were cleanshaven, 21 percent had a
mustache only, 19 percent had a beard and mustache. Less than 1 percent had a
beard without a mustache.
Men guessed correctly that women would prefer clean-shaven men. Yet while only 14 percent of women overall named "beard with
mustache" as their first choice, 55 percent of women whose partner had a beard
ranked it first. Once again, women may have brought their judgment in line with
their partner.
Most of the comments about facial hair were about beards, and
the positive ones were about neatly trimmed beards. Women tended to associate poorly groomed or neglected beards with generalized slovenliness. The goatee was singled out for derision.

I think that for most guys, a girl's opinion on his beard is completely irrelevant. It falls into the same category as video games. Its something that he does just to impress other guys (and himself) with his hair growing ability. I had a friend who could grow a beard in a week and would frequently try out audacious styles. The usual outcome being a lot of very impressed guys and an equal number of girls who seemed to be offended by the fact that he liked his beard like that. For every girl that told him to shave there was a guy telling him he should keep it on his wedding day.
But James, I think you have to take into account that most guys are idiots and think that the stupider you look, the cooler you are. The same applies to rappers.
Thoughts...
1.) I've seen Brad Pitt pull off the beard, but that was Brad, and I'm referring to his boarder-line metro, groomed beard. Also, it's worthy to note he's hotter without the beard.
2.) Ashton Kutcher pulls off the beard, hands down. So, boys, if you look like Ashton throw away the shaving gell.
3.) Speaking of gell, Michelle would be an advocate for a little, and Michelle when you say a little I KNOW you mean alottle (p.s., why is "alottle" not yet a word?)
4.) lizard sandals: 1995 called and wanted you back.
