be a better man

So I don't really consider myself a big Esquire reader. I mean, to be honest, I picked it up because there was a sexy photo of George Clooney (looking totally rough and rugged and by that i mean handsome as fuck) on the cover. But then I opened the pages and my mind started whirring...boys should read this...boys should really read this! It really is a silly magazine about such simple things, things that a man (or women)could take to heart that really can just make life a little better. Like enjoying the simple things: mixing a good drink, grilling like a champ, satisfying your woman (in and out of the bedroom), a perfect fitting pair of pants and a good exfoliation a couple times a week. Read the whole article that accompanies this section too, it's all good. So why haven't I seen all of you with a copy of this on the back of your toilet?

Anyway, from the genius of Dr. Oz, I give you, what it takes:

"

Think about when you were thirteen.
Tough age.
You weren't looking your best.
But you tried, didn't you?
Probably tried harder than you ever have in your life, because suddenly there were girls in skirts, and you weren't the only one after them.
So you put gels in your hair, you tried to be good about washing your face, you spent too much time perfectly untucking your shirt, you wore Drakkar Noir — all to impress.

It makes sense. Five hundred years ago, before we had blood tests to determine the health and virility of potential mates, the most important criterion was external beauty. Women looked at the way a man took care of himself as a flash card of how fertile he was, how capable he was of giving her mighty offspring. Humans look for beauty in one another — it is hardwired and it is unavoidable. So if you think that just because you're older now, you can be laissez-faire about your paunch and your complexion so long as you're a good person on the inside, you're wrong. You learned something back in seventh grade: What you look like matters. It makes you confident and attractive. It cracks that first lamina of ice when a woman decides to talk to you — or hire you. Good looks are rewarded. You get paid more for the same work. People think you're competent. Your relationships seem to work out better. Enhancing and preserving your appearance is not about vanity; you don't have to preen. It's about whether you are — or can become — the kind of man men want to be and women want to have lots and lots of sex with.

The short answer is that of course you can. But you have to try.

If you ask women around the world, they'll disagree about the ideal shape of a chin or distance between the eyes, but they'll all love beautiful skin. Why? Because it's our largest organ and constantly reflects our inner health. Maintain it, along with your hair and your waistline, and you'll be on your way to bridging the gap between you and irresistibility.
