Hey guys,

As I’m deeply committed to my new journey, I’ve got a few questions regarding look maxing and everything else.

Tooth whitening : really tooth whitening is too expensive for me now, which alternative is the most valuable ? Whitening toothpaste? Whitening kit ?

Skincare : My skin is kinda oily, if got sometimes a few pimples here and there, which product should I apply ? Or where too find ressources about this ?

Bulk or cut : on the pic you can see my current shape (pumped&good light), should I try to gain more muscles or lose fat ? Caloric surplus, maintenance, deficit ? In the next week I’m gonna take the tinder pics. So I’ll probably have the same shape but after that ?

Style : on the second&third pic (was a funny pic for a colleague don’t juge lol), it’s the style I’m rocking on a daily basis : well adjusted polo (thigh around chest and arms), a “costume pants”, sneakers or Chelsea boots. A few rings and a necklace. My 2 questions are :
I feel that I dress well, tho it’s not bad boy vibe at all : so good or not good ?
How to display my advantages (kinda muscular in t shirt) during European winter time ?

Beard : 3rd pic, those this shit even count as a beard or should I shave it completely and wait for a real beard ?

Last glasses or contacts ??

Ok Thanks for reading guys ! This community is too good, Thanks to all of you 2022 won’t be the same at all.
 
Tooth whitening: strips are the best tradeoff with regards to time, money, and ease.

Skincare: you need a cleanser, exfoliant, tretinoin, and a moisturizer. I use all of these daily.

Physique: Bulking/cutting is a myth. The only reason to do actual bulking/cutting cycles is if you're a professional bodybuilder. Your bodyfat percentage is fine but it would still be interesting to see what you looked like with a couple kilos of fat less. Pretty much everyone looks better lean.

Style: burn it all and start from scratch. You dress like an 80 year old grandfather.

Beard: I vote shave it, but hard to tell since we don't have a clear photo of your face. You can also use Minoxidil to grow a thicker beard (it didn't work for me because it gives me chest tightness, but it works for others).

Glasses: Lose them.
 
Physique - good work on this dude, clearly you have built a great base. Like pancake said the best way to go with attracting girls is usually lean but i dont think you have much issue physique wise to iron out other than seeing how you look a few pounds leaner

Teeth - im seeing a cosmetic dentist personally. I dont consider it a good idea to skimp and DIY teeth but i understand if the expense is too much in some countries

Style - This should be a short term priority based on your pics

I say this with love ..... i cant see any way in which you could think this is a good way to dress if you have researched modern ​style

Style is not something that takes too long to fix, you need to put in time researching what makes a good outfit and then go out and do a bit of trial and error with new clothes
At least you know you need to get accessories and build some edge

No to the glasses and go clean shaven for now - its likely in a few years a beard will be more viable but dont force one until it is

Edit: a tan would help you too
 
First of all, thanks for taking the time to answer everything of my topic.

Ok 😂, do you have some materials I can work on ? Because I’ve got some compliments of girls friends of mine regarding my look. Thu I know it’s more vintage/nice guy vibe

Again thanks a lot !
 
Do they think its 'kitsch'?

Go to a popular bar over some time over the next couple weeks and see how guys who are perceived as hot/cool dress

Compliments from female friends generally don't mean much. Because they're friends, they'll compliment you on pretty much whenever. Also, they don't want to fuck you, so they don't have any incentive to give you real advice that leads to sex.

The first thing you want to ask yourself is "what type of girls do I want to attract?" then you need to figure out what the guys dress like that attract those girls.

Instagram can be helpful for this. Figure out who they are following on Instagram and just mimic the style of the celebrities they idolize.
 
FUCK YEAH BRO YOU ARE JACKED!!!

You have some great advice from some legends above bro, these guys know their shit big time. Work hard apply yourself you will become something amazing!!!!

I'm here to improve, no hard feelings at all. Based on your nice (and very well done) guide that i just downloaded, i think im going to go with nice fitting t-shirts (which i have), nice jacket with the nice collar (which i have) and some regulars pants, indeed i've got almost everything you talked about in your guide.

Nah I don't think so, this "well dressed" style is kinda pretty trendy here (France) tho it's nice vibe guy i agree. All of this style came from https://www.puroego.com/en if you want to check that out.

Actually, most of the "handsome" guys are like white&well fitted t-shirt and a basic pair of pants. But they dress more like your guide than my style, for sure.

Noted, i guessed, so I do agreed with you, but now i've got the point of view of a legend.

Yeah my guide is fundamentally the player style I learnt on the goodlookingloser forums updated with modern streetwear trends from insta and other fashion bloggers i like (predominantly from Europe)

I try to make it as newbie friendly as possible - the goal of the guide

The guy from GLL that i learnt the most from was actually French too, though he lived in LA
He had a great range of outfits from high fashion European style to LA streetwear - it helped he legit looks like a model but he also explained everything well to complete style newbies and that's what i want to continue

In Europe you are better off trending a little bit smarter I agree - especially somewhere like France
I hung out with a lot of French in Australia and they were among the best dressed on average

You currently are overdoing the smart side of things, i would not pick those fits or colours and you need edge. No matter how you want to dress you need to incorporate edge somehow

I'll take what you said in deep consideration, because I really value your expertise regarding getting laid more than mine lol
 
Do something with your hair, i am not specialist so dont want to tell you which hairstyle. But definitely you have room for improvement there...imo
