What does that guy have that I don’t? It may not be what you think!

It’s easy to look at a guy who gets a lot of attention from girls and point out clichéd possessions of his that you might think draws in all the ladies. But assumptions are usually untrue and this mindset doesn’t help anyone become more successful with the opposite sex. HUSH is going to give you a tour of things you don’t actually need to get lucky. Let’s start with this:

Cool Clothes

Wearing something new that you know is “in” right now makes you feel like a BAMF. You catch your own reflection whenever you pass a mirror or big window and you suspect everyone is approving your sense of style silently in his or her head. But you don’t need fresh threads every few weeks to achieve this. Two solutions are easier than this:

1. Ask a female friend, an older sister, or a guy with style that you trust to help you out. This will be admitting you feel vulnerable but it will help you a ton in knowing what you wear well. Ask for them to tell you what parts of your wardrobe you should never put on before being in public again. Figure out what things in your dresser make you look best. And find a few pieces to pair together in the future.

2. Think about the things in your closet on your own and how you feel when you wear each one. There are some things you put on and you feel unimportant, frumpy, and rather unremarkable. Avoid these at all times in the future unless you’re headed to the gym, cleaning the garage, or painting a wall. In every other situation wear the items that make you walk taller, that make you feel like you could be in some page of a magazine, and that people have commented positively on before. Sure it will limit what you wear. But doing this will help you feel more confident more often – which will help when you’re in front of females.

It’s not the clothes that make the man. So do you dude, in the duds you already have that make you feel fly.
