Good grooming and hygiene are typically the first things women notice you. It is not about being dressed or fancy, but rather the signal that you care about your looks and have a sense of self-respect as well as respect for others.
Cleanliness and grooming show that you pay attention to the little things and put effort into how you look.
Women might look for minor things such as whether your clothes are clean and fitted right, your hair is neat, or if you smell fresh. It does not matter what brand the cologne is or if the outfit is designer-approved, what matters instead is having the fundamentals done right.
For instance, making sure to have clean fingernails, use a deodorant, and keeping a well-groomed beard, or a clean-shaven face can make a big difference.
Good hygiene is about more than just appearance; it also includes routine tasks like brushing your teeth, rinsing your mouth with mouthwash, and cleansing your skin, and moisturizing it regularly.
Neglecting these things would be a red flag for dating the poor hygiene provided being a sign of a careless or non-self-aware person.
It is also about adaptive grooming for each type of situation. Exercising proper clothing selection carefully, with the correct casual, formal, or other combinations, is an example of thoughtfulness.
A neat and polished look broadcasts confidence and caring about the occasion along with the people present.
At the end of the day, grooming is not vanity; it is how you can show the best version of yourself. Women are attracted to men who take the trouble to groom themselves because it shows effort and self-control. It is only a small thing but eventually, it will build a constructive impression.
