(ThyBlackMan.com) Recently, I read that 90 percent of men are happy with their appearance. Good for you, guys: You’ve got great self-esteem. However, I have a feeling this might be the reason for all those white socks with dark slacks.
You know you look good, but do you look and act sexy? It’s never too late to 
polish up your presentation and let your hottest self out of hiding. Trust me; the ladies will appreciate your efforts. Make your sex appeal sizzle with these 10 tricks:
1. Pay attention to the details.
Make sure that your belt matches your shoes, your pants are the correct length and your shirt is wrinkle-free. Women want to see simple styles and tasteful colors when they first meet a man. They also want to see that you know how to use an iron. Sounds elementary, and it is. No excuses here, gentlemen.
2. Handle the hair.
A clean-shaven face or well-trimmed beard is essential for a good first impression. Please get rid of the monobrow, the nose hairs and the back hair. Thank you.
3. Give it up.
While we’re on the subject of unneeded hair, let’s discuss the best way to handle a balding pate. If you’re in the advanced stages, the only thing to do is cut the remaining hair very short or get bold and shave your head. Bold? Sexy. Combover? No calls the next day.
4. Keep your shoes in shape.
The state of your shoes is a good reflection of your psyche. For first impressions, pull out a conservative, well-kept pair of oxfords or something similar. Save the pristine, expensive white tennis shoes for later (much later).
5. Go easy!
Most women like to sniff the hint of a masculine aftershave. I’m sure you can all guess the keyword in that sentence. I think the trouble started when fragrance gained the capacity to be sprayed. Scads of cologne? Big mistake.
6. Let go.
Get rid of any article of clothing you’ve owned more than four years. Just because that jersey was a chick magnet in college (which I’m finding hard to believe, by the way) doesn’t mean it belongs in the adult world. Buy an issue of Esquire and learn how to dress. Yes, it will cost more than 150 bucks. But we’re worth it.
7. Order a drink without drama.
Now that we’ve got you all turned out in nice duds and good smells, let’s think about acting sexy. Sexy men don’t twiddle their thumbs and look at the blended drink menu at the bar. They ask for a beer or cocktail and get on with it. Keep your orders simple, tip well and know your limit.
8. Listen carefully.
Lean in, pay attention and make her fairly certain there’s no other place you would rather be. If you’re looking over her shoulder at the flat screen TV broadcasting the game, she’ll figure it out.
9. Ask provocative questions.
“Provocative” does not mean “sexual.” It means interesting, intriguing questions about current events, travel, science, etc. Talk about what you’re passionate about and encourage her to do the same.
10. Touch gently to show interest.
If the date is going well, a gentle hand placed at her elbow or on her hand is always welcome. It’s a subtle way to take the next step, and women like to feel irresistible.
