“Cleanliness is godliness” -Billy Corrigan

Women are affected by smell so much more than men are because their sense of smell is so much stronger than ours. Think of it as almost a superpower that you don’t have. Ever notice how certain smells bring back memories and the emotions associated with those memories. The smell/memory/emotional nerves are all interconnected in the brain, so learn to give your woman feelz by giving good smells, and don’t turn your woman off by bad smells.

Basics Okay, this sounds like common sense but apparently not so obvious for everyone. You must shower every day and get everything clean. Get in there with soap and wash that crack, crotch, pits, feet, in between toes, even if you have a hard time reaching it. Shower after the gym (you lift right?). Wear clean clothes every day. Don’t re-wear your favorite shirt again because whether you realize it or not, it smells.

Faggots- trim the nails on yours hands and feet. How would you like to get clawed in the vagina from some Neanderthal? If you do dirty jobs like fixing cars, wear gloves, or in the very least, clean the dirt out from your fingernails. If they won’t get clean, cut the dirty part of the nail off. Women notice that shit. Unless you play guitar in a kick ass band, or are some kind of renegade coke dealer, trim your nails regularly.

Use a Q-tip and clean out your ear wax- Yeah, really, every day. Cut your nose and ear hairs so nothing is sticking out. Get some really small scissors or an electric trimmer, don’t use the scissors from your desk at work.

Get a good haircut that fits your style. I shave my head but I’m told women like a man with a stylish haircut and trimmed facial hair. Trim your neck, back, chest, and pubic hair. Chicks don’t want to fuck a hairy sasquatch. I got this thing on Amazon for my back hairs because I can’t reach between my shoulder blades.

Use moisturizer for your face or anywhere that gets dry skin. You don’t want to have skin flecks or peels visible. I need it on my forehead especially. You may also use one that has a masculine scent. Use a good cologne as well, others have covered this in detail

Oral hygiene- this is my real area of expertise I believe in what works, not philosophy or bullshit ideas with no scientific basis. Do not use a “holistic” dentist that tells you fluoride is poison and silver fillings will kill you. They want your money by changing out all of your silver fillings that have lasted for years but are now somehow harmful. The fact is that drilling out silver fillings releases more mercury into your body than just leaving them in place ever will. And they won’t tell you that white fillings may have BPA, an actual cancer causing chemical.

Find a dentist that you trust has your best interests in mind, not someone just starting off, and not a dentist that performs every procedure under the sun (nobody does every kind of procedure well, that’s why they have specialists). There is no recognized specialty of dentistry called “cosmetic dentist” or “implant dentist”. People call themselves that but it just means they like doing those procedures, it doesn’t indicate more training or skills. Don’t let the hot girls working in the front office convince you to have treatment you don’t need. Get a second opinion if you want and be wary if the dentist gets pissed (the staff may be pissed but the dentist never should).

I’m not a fan of these big corporate dental offices with tons of doctors and many locations. The dentists are employees who don’t have to build and maintain a reputation in the community. They have lower prices because it’s made up in volume with more aggressive/invasive treatments than usually needed. Find a dentist that seems legit, doesn’t upsell, and has a good reputation in the community.

Don’t take your teeth for granted. I have many patients (men and women) that are very attractive until they talk and I can see how they are essentially crippled dentally. It is really sad. If you get fat, you can work out, lose weight, and get attractive again. If you lose a bunch of teeth, you will never be the same, it’s permanent. It’s a lost part of your body that doesn’t grow back. You only get one set of teeth. You can be attractive again but it takes a long time, costs a fortune, and is really hard. OYS and have good oral health.

Bad breath- comes from bacteria on the tongue that release sulfur or from foods/drinks that you ingest. Gum or mouthwash doesn't really help, you still have bad breath. The best ways to avoid this issue is to brush after every meal, use a tongue scraper daily, and don’t get cavities or gum disease. And avoid certain smelly foods. Personally, I avoid garlic and onions and some Asian/Thai sauces when I want to get close to my girl, but you do you.

Tooth decay (dental caries) is the most widespread chronic disease worldwide. Tooth decay and gum disease cause bad breath, tooth loss, and dental disfigurement. Unless you are a bad-ass hockey player, no hottie is going to want to fuck a dude with a jack-o-latern smile. I see patient's almost every day (men and women) who are losing teeth and require replacement by very uncomfortable and expensive means. Alot of this would be preventable if they just owned their shit.

Stop making excuses. The tartar on your teeth is not built up because you have bad genetics, or “my mouth just makes more tartar than other people”. You just don't brush and floss like you should, that’s it. You don't get cavities because of having soft teeth. There is no such thing as soft teeth. You get cavities because of what you put in your mouth and by not taking care of them. OYS

Cavities are caused by bacteria on the teeth. The bacteria eat carbohydrate, they doesn’t care what type. It can be complex carbs like bread, sucrose from sweets, fructose from fruit, corn syrup from soda. They eat it and secrete acid onto the teeth which dissolves them. When enough of your tooth is dissolved away by the acid, bingo, you have a cavity. So, acid is bad for the teeth. If you eat natural foods with carbohydrates like organic stuff, you will still get a cavity. I call it an organic cavity.

Any drink with bubbles is acidic, doesn’t matter if its soda, seltzer water, whatever, it’s acidic. Lemon water is acidic- you get the point. Plain old water or milk is better for your teeth.

The other variable that is very important is how much time the teeth are exposed to the acid. It’s like radioactivity, more time of exposure causes more damage. You eat/drink anything with carbohydrate and the teeth will be exposed to acid as long as it takes for you to eat/drink that item. But, if you brush your teeth after eating/drinking something, the acid exposure will be drastically shortened.

Another important factor is mouth dryness. People that have a dry mouth will have more risk of cavities. This can happen from many medications (antidepressants or blood pressure meds) or just age. I have seen this in myself as I get older.

What toothbrush do I get? It's not the toothbrush you have, it's how it's used. My advice is to use a soft bristled brush that is not too big. If your bristles splay and your toothbrush "wears out", you are brushing too hard.

Periodontal disease/gum disease- This is an infection of the gums that causes bleeding, soreness, and bad breath. When bacteria collect along the gumline, they cause inflammation that can lead to bone eroding from around the roots of the teeth. The end result is tooth loss.

It can run in families- if your parents had it, you are more likely to get it. Smoking and diabetes will make it 3-5 times more risk of disease. There is no cure but it can be managed with treatment (similar to other chronic diseases like diabetes). The best way to prevent periodontal disease is regular flossing, in addition to brushing and regular dental cleanings.

Crowded/misaligned teeth- So called “clear braces” like Invisilign or one of the others can help, but only to some extent. They can help with mild problems but you need traditional braces if your case is more involved. They probably won’t tell you that because they want you to sign up and collect your money. Have realistic expectations. Your teeth will go back to their original positions if you don’t wear your retainers.

Discolored teeth- Everybody wants white teeth. You can do whitening with the at home products but they only do so much. Keep in mind that existing white fillings and crowns won’t whiten, only your natural teeth. Your dentist can sell you a take home tray system with an acid gel that works pretty well. The trays you wear at home will have the biggest effectiveness. There could be some sensitivity afterwards.

Full disclosure: I am a dental professional but this advice in no way should be considered as creating a legal doctor/patient relationship. You must see a dentist for recommendations and treatment regarding your specific situation.
