Hey guys,

Let me start by explaining what this article is and what it is not.

What it is – a crowd-sourced book, or in simpler terms, a collection of the best resources that I am aware of when it comes to becoming an attractive man. In the spirit of what a crowd-sourced book is, feel free to share, use, change, adapt or improve this article as you please. Also, if you think you know what other articles deserve a place in the book about being an attractive man, please let me know!

What it is not – the information in the articles should not be taken at the face value, even though I have selected these articles, I cannot guarantee you any particular results or that information in the articles is factually correct. In other words, don’t forget common sense and be smart (though I’m pretty sure I don’t need to remind you this).

Okay, now that we got that out of the way, let’s look into the content. Man’s guide to looking attractive covers core aspects of what it means to look attractive as a man: everything from body language to style to grooming to fitness.

Some sections are covered in depth, others could use a boost. This should not be mistaken with how important a particular subject is, but only depends on how many freely available quality resources I could get my hands on.

Also, just as everyone else, I have my specialties and some things I know less about, so it is possible that I couldn’t locate some really good resources simply due to my own ignorance on a particular subject.

So once again, I would like to remind you not to be shy and offer suggestions if you know of any other good content that could be added to this book. And from my side, I will be updating it regularly.

Last thing I’d like to add here – we are not talking about “being attractive”, but “looking attractive” and even though these two are very closely connected, we won’t be covering “inner game” here. If someone has the time and patience to do crowd-sourced article on “being attractive” I applause you and would love to read it (also feel free to hit me up, if you will need any help with that).

Content

Currently this “book” has 5 chapters:

Theory – articles in this chapter discuss the science and theory behind what it means to be an attractive man. It’s a good place to start because unless you know what your goals are, it’s difficult to identify what you should be working on. Turns out, a lot of the common knowledge on the subject is rather misguided and incorrect.

Turns out, a lot of the common knowledge on the subject is rather misguided and incorrect. Body language, posture and voice – low investment, high reward subject. In many ways, unless you have at least the basics from this area right, you won’t look attractive and probably won’t be particularly healthy.

Style – Another topic that can lead to really quick results. As opposed to something like fitness you don’t need weeks, months or years to get the results. In theory, a single shopping session can completely transform how hot you look.

In this chapter we will cover hairstyles, facial hair care, skincare and smelling nice. Having the basics handled here is a must; on the other hand expertise on the subject can take your attractiveness through the roof.

Fitness – In many ways fitness is about preparing the canvass on which we’ll be making our “masterpiece” with information from other chapters. However, it does take time to implement and get results. Side note, as there is more “crap” information on fitness and dieting than there is on all other chapters combined, I’ve only linked to resources that I trust (and that’s a very limited list). Would appreciate some other suggestions for quality content from those who are passionate about the subject.

How To Use This Book

Don’t try to consume everything at once – there’s A LOT of content here and you’ll just get overwhelmed.

Instead, identify which area is currently your weakest (hint: Theory chapter should help do that) and focus on that first.

Commit to working on 1 – 2 areas at a time.

If a particular approach is not working for you (given you actually tried it and given some time for it to work) don’t be afraid to drop it and find something suitable for your lifestyle.

It’s probably a good idea to start working on Fitness from the start as it will take the longest to give results and if you can handle it, work on one more area from another chapter.

Chapter 1. Theory

The chapter “Theory” focuses on mostly theoretical, statistical and research data to show what exactly makes a man attractive and sets the grounds for the following chapters.

I would say it’s definitely a good place to start as there are quite a lot of misconceptions with common knowledge about attraction and unless you know what result you want to achieve, it is like playing a lottery.

Chapter 2. Body Language, Posture and Voice

I like to think of body language and posture as the foundations for looking good. It’s one of the components that generally cost nothing to develop and improve, except for some effort, but the results and change can be simply tremendous.

And for the time we are only taking into consideration only the visual impact on looking attractive, not to mention the health and feel-good benefits. Having at least the basics on body language and posture handled is truly essential for anyone who wants to look good.

And then there’s voice projection – it’s almost unreal how much of a difference to your interactions proper masculine voice can make.

Posture

Posture & Muscle: A Match Made In Muscle-Heaven – A great article that covers the basics of posture and does a very good job explaining its effects in our lives and how it also effects how attractive we are to the opposite sex.

Men’s Fashion Tip: The Importance of Posture – When it comes to the benefits of having good posture this article doesn’t really add much to the one above. However, it does explain how to utilize style and posture for best results.

ijjjji Anti-aging & Longevity – Simple, straight to the point, applicable article on posture, issues that we’re faced with modern lifestyle and how to overcome them.

Body Language

Nonverbal Communication – Article goes explains body language in a general sense and provides some understanding into the importance of nonverbal communication.

Eliminating Unattractive Body Language – Great piece with simple tips how to identify and eliminate unattractive body language.

Sexy Body Language for Men (Learned from Hot Girls) – Great all-in-one article on sexy body language, a must-read when it comes to body language.

Voice

Develop a Strong He-Man Voice by Using the Voice Nature Gave You – “The manliest voice is the voice you’ve already got. You just need to find it and own it.” – Article discusses importance of voice in our daily interactions, explains why trying to artificially lower your voice is a bad idea and most importantly teaches how to improve your natural voice to its potential.

How to Develop a Confident, Attractive Voice – Another approach to making the best out of our voice, the article also covers importance of owning your voice and offers some tips and tricks to improve it.

Chapter 3. Style

“It’s all about style – style how you look, how to treat yourself and other, style how you do business.”

Even though this chapter focuses mostly on outfits, the effects go way beyond just pieces of clothing. When you understand how different people treat you based on how they perceive you and learn how to change this perception by changing how you look, you understand how much power there is in something as superficial as clothes.

Style then is about creating a story about yourself, one that is universally understood and based on which others will decide how to treat you.

Core

Path To Mastery

I am sure I’m not overstating this by saying that Kinowear’s Science of Style series might be the best freely available resource for men who really want to get good at being stylish. In a way it’s less practical than the articles of “Core” section, but long term results of understanding how to create your own unique style are tremendous enough to get a separate mention in this guide.

Style Inspiration

If you read the Science of Style series from the chapter above, you know how important it is to find proper influences when first creating your own style. The links below are some of the best resources to look for inspiration.
