How important are looks to you?

Look at the image above. If you see both of these girls who would you ask on a date? If I were a guy, I would choose Mrs Bean because she looks enthusiastic and full of energy [maybe too much energy]:D. But I am not a guy, and any normal guy who has a normal stable functioning brain would without a doubt go for Jessica Simpson. It's common sense !.

It's only natural for us to want to date a good looking girl or guy. But to what extent are our looks important? Some people do not care whether its your first date or not, they expect you to look hot at all times [extremists]. Others understand that we're only human, not perfectionists, and expect you to be normal looking and dress appropriate for the occasion. Others focus on personality, and do not care as much about looks however your looks will most likely play a role [even if it plays a small role] in your attraction and first image.

Here are some tips for girls and guys to follow to look their personal best:
- First please shower everyone! Cleanliness is very important and will improve your skin and brighten it up. You can use cleansers, moisturisers, exfoliaters and body lotions.

- Don't go hairy! Extra hair should be removed whether itis on the face, arms or legs. This goes to guys too, I am not saying to look like a girl, but at least do not appear by the door looking like a gorilla. lol

- Next up, brush your teeth before going on the date; bad breath and yellow teeth is a turn off for both sexes.

- Girls should either blow dry, straighten, or curl their hair. No major hair styles should be done ,its only a first date, your hair should look natural and simple. As for guys, simple hair gel should do the trick.

- Believe it or not a great perfume scent can form a great first image. You would not want your date to be disgusted from you and this will automatically cause your date to form a conclusion that you are unhygienic.

- Always plan what you will wear. Don't leave it till the last minute, to avoid stress. Trust me if you plan what you will wear, you will take less time to get ready, and will have time to think of new ideas or make improvements.

Advice on what to wear has been mentioned previously in this blog but our aim with the above basic tips is to help improve your image.

Good luck in looking great for your date ;)
