6 Things That Always Make Men Look Better (Women Notice This)

Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, I'm Courtney Ryan and today we're going to be talking about six things that always make men look better. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. You cannot be less attractive doing any of these things. It is just not possible. I recently did a video about how to look better than other guys where I focus strictly on style and fashion, so this video is going to include some other categories as well. If you haven't seen that video yet, I'll link it below for you as I think it's super helpful. So the first thing here is going beyond bare minimum. Doing the bare minimum doesn't typically yield exceptional results. I mean, I suppose it's better than doing nothing at all, but being a guy who goes beyond the bare minimum and puts in effort will always, always look better. You can't do the bare minimum and then expect maximum results. Putting in effort and showing that you care is so attractive. When you put in this extra effort, whether it's in your grooming, your style, fitness, or how you handle your responsibilities, it's going to show. It tells people that you care about yourself and the way that you present yourself to the world. People respect that, and women especially appreciate a man who's not just coasting through life. Take something simple like your personal style. Going beyond the bare minimum might mean paying attention to the fit of your clothes, coordinating your colors, choosing the right accessories, choosing colors that look good on you and your skin tone. This could also include taking proper care of your clothing and doing things like steaming or ironing. That small extra effort can transform your look from just okay to polished and memorable. And it's not just about looks. It's also about your mindset. When you go beyond the bare minimum in life, whether it's in your career, your relationships, or even things like your hobbies, you start to just stand out. You're not just checking the boxes. You're putting in the work, and that kind of dedication is incredibly attractive, especially to women from a woman's perspective here. It communicates to us that you're someone who strives for more, who values growth, and who takes pride in what you do. Also, when you go above and beyond in small ways like being thoughtful or showing extra consideration for others, it creates a lasting impression. This attention to detail, whether in the way that you carry yourself or how you treat other people, really makes you stand out from the crowd. I think effort can also really help your confidence. So when you're consistently going beyond the bare minimum, you know that you're putting in the work. That's going to translate into self-confidence, and confidence is also an important key in looking your best and showing up for yourself. So whether it's putting in extra time at the gym, stepping up your skincare routine, or taking pride in your work, going beyond the basics will always set you apart. And remember, it's the guys who push just a little further that people notice. One thing that always elevates a man's appearance is a commitment to quality in every aspect of life, from your wardrobe and grooming habits to your relationships. Quality shouldn't be lost on little details or those special moments like a weekend getaway or business trip. That's why I'm thrilled to have Karl Friedrich sponsoring today's video. The craftsmanship of their products is simply unmatched. And while looks aren't everything, with Karl Friedrich you truly get the best of both worlds, style and functionality. Take the Carry-On X for example. This cabin case features a sleek hardshell front pocket, perfect for easily accessing your laptop and travel documents, especially handy when navigating the airport rush. It's also made to make your packing experience as seamless as possible with two sets of integrated straps and a removable compression pad to minimize packing space. And if you need some extra help with what outfits to pack, well, you're in the right place for that too. Then there's the Palisade Weekender, an all leather bag designed for up to 48 hours on the go. Unlike many other Weekender bags, its upright design ensures it keeps its elegant shape and the premium German green leather only adds to its timeless appeal. Perfect for carrying your getaway weekend essentials in style. So click the link in my description to grab your own Carry-On X, Palisade Weekender, or explore other fantastic Karl Friedrich products. The next thing here that always makes men look better is making small upgrades and simple swaps. So making thoughtful upgrades and swaps to everyday items can completely elevate a man's appearance. This attention to detail, again, carrying over from what I mentioned in my last point, and refinement can go a long way. I'm going to give you some common examples here so you can easily see what I'm talking about. Something that you've probably heard me say is opting for these plain, well-cut t-shirts instead of ones with loud logos or graphics. This can instantly make you appear more stylish and mature without sacrificing the comfort of a t-shirt. Maybe instead of rocking that Spy Kid drip with your suit and Apple Watch combo, swap to a real watch instead. Ditch the ratty old high school t-shirts and basketball shorts at the gym and swap to clean, basic t-shirts and shorts or joggers. And FYI, there are plenty of great options on Amazon that aren't too expensive either. I personally really like the brand CRZ Yoga. They have some stuff for men as well. Other things like swapping out off-the-rack clothes that don't fit properly for tailored or well-fitted pieces. This can make you look more polished and more put together. Retiring those old worn out shoes that are hanging on quite literally for dear life. Get a high quality classic pair of shoes instead of keeping really worn out footwear. Footwear is something in general that I wouldn't recommend cheaping out on. I think it's definitely an area to spend a little bit more on if you're able to or just making sure that you're buying good quality. Another thing aside from fashion would be trading basic soap for, you know, a targeted skincare regimen, a cleanser, moisturizer, SPF. This can dramatically improve your skin texture, clarity, and overall health making you just look more refreshed. Upgrading your socks and underwear. I know some of you need to do that. Don't skip it. And I don't want to overwhelm you here. Not every single thing in your life needs an upgrade or a swap. I use some cheap affordable things myself. But I would start to think about the items that you use the most and if you would benefit from investing in something that is a little bit higher quality. So just something to keep in mind. And let me know if you guys would want to see a standalone video about this of the swaps that I would consider making. Maybe some of the most common ones. I can elaborate on the points that I already mentioned. I think that could be really helpful. So let me know if you would want to see that. The next thing that always makes men look better is a calm demeanor. When you're calm, you naturally project confidence, but it's not loud or forced. It is quiet and steady. Great women are drawn to men who seem emotionally stable and secure because that signals maturity and dependability. Being calm also reflects emotional intelligence. It shows that you can handle stress and manage your emotions without overreacting, which is a major plus. No one wants to be around someone who consistently falls apart in tough situations or is erratic and overreacts. Staying composed makes you appear more reliable both in life and relationships. When you're calm, you give off this vibe of self-control, like you have absolutely everything handled. It's incredibly attractive because it suggests that you've mastered yourself and can handle whatever life throws your way. When you're sort of just grounded, the people around you feel more comfortable and at ease as well, which is something that women naturally gravitate towards. Great women, anyway. There's also the appeal of mystery. A calm demeanor hints that there's more to you than meets the eye. You don't need to dominate the conversation or make a scene. There's an intriguing depth there that makes a woman want to get to know you more. A man with a calm demeanor shows non-reactivity. When you remain calm in situations that might trigger other people, it's going to show that you're in control of your emotions. You're not letting outside circumstances dictate your mood or your actions. You're able to respond and react in a way that shows resilience, which automatically makes you look better. Your demeanor and the way you carry yourself can speak volumes and absolutely contribute to your overall attractiveness. Alright, the next thing that always makes men look better is the workout glow. The workout glow is real. Directly after when you look like you've worked hard, yes, but also the overall positive impact that exercise has on your body and your brain. I know a lot of you are probably tired of me talking about working out, but it has changed my life so drastically that I try to mention it as often as I can. Working out makes you look, feel, and function better. My advice would be to lift weights and build muscle, increase your daily step count, go for walks, go for runs. This doesn't have to be something that adds a huge expense to your life. There are plenty of ways to work out completely free, so do what is best for you and your situation, but I would highly recommend starting to work out if you don't already. And I want to get into the details here of exactly how this makes you look better. When you work out, your heart is pumping more blood to your skin, which brings oxygen and nutrients to the surface. This gives your face a healthy, flushed appearance, almost like you're glowing from within. It's the kind of look that no skincare product or grooming routine can fully replicate. You just look alive, vibrant, and refreshed. Another thing is that sweating clears out your pores, helping to remove any dirt and toxins from your skin. So that post-workout shower, if you need to be taking a shower post-workout, not only cools you down, but leaves your skin looking clearer and more refreshed. It's like a mini detox for your body, and the results are going to show on your face. Another undeniable benefit of this workout glow is confidence. When you've just completed a workout, there is a sense of accomplishment that just radiates from you. You stand a little taller, you're more confident, and that energy is contagious. It's not just the physical changes, it's the confidence boost that makes you look more self-assured and attractive. I don't know about you, but I definitely feel that way after a good workout. And let's also not forget the long-term benefits here. Regular exercise promotes clearer skin, better posture, and even helps you sleep better, which all contribute to that long-lasting glow. When you're consistent with your workouts, that glow isn't just a temporary post-gym type thing, it becomes a part of your everyday look. So if you're ever feeling a little off, maybe you're in a funk, or just not feeling your best, hit the gym, or go for a run, go for a walk, do whatever workout just gets you moving. The workout glow is one of the easiest ways to look better and feel better both instantly and over time. Another thing here that always makes men look better that seems obvious, you hear it all the time, but I really want to emphasize how important this is as someone who has done things a little bit differently in this category lately, and it shows. And that is proper hydration, both internally and externally. You've heard it before, drinking plenty of water is going to give you a natural glow and keep you looking refreshed. And just to share my personal experience here, I have stayed so consistent about adding electrolytes to my water once a day. I have them first thing in the morning when I wake up, before I have my coffee, and oh my goodness, I feel like a new person. I have more energy, I feel more refreshed, I'm not as tired. When I feel better, I'm going to look better too. So it's really just made such a positive impact on my life, and I would highly recommend start doing this if you don't already. Even just adding a little sprinkle of salt and lemon to your water can make a big difference too, and I would so strongly recommend doing this before you have any sort of caffeine in the Drinking enough water isn't just about staying healthy internally, it also has a big impact on your appearance too. When you're properly hydrated, your skin stays moisturized from the inside out. This helps reduce dryness, fine lines, and even breakouts. It gives you that smooth, healthy glow that just can't be faked. No matter how hard you try, no matter how expensive your skincare routine is, nothing beats just being properly hydrated. It is that easy. Hydration also helps with puffiness and dark circles under your eyes. Do you ever wake up with bags under your eyes or puffiness after a long night? That's often due to dehydration. When you're hydrated, it's going to help regulate fluid balance in your body, reducing that puffiness and making you look more refreshed and awake. And another point here in terms of hydration is cutting out alcohol. That's going to make a huge difference too. I don't drink alcohol at all, and I know this contributes to me looking and feeling my best. But back to the point, proper hydration also supports better muscle tones. If you're working out and trying to build muscle, water is going to play a huge role in helping your body function properly and keeping your muscles looking defined. Dehydration can make you look flat and fatigued, but when you're well hydrated, your muscles are going to appear more full and more toned. But it's not just about your skin or muscles or outward appearance. Hydration impacts your energy levels too. When you're properly hydrated, your body's going to function more efficiently, and that energy shows in your posture and your overall demeanor. You look more alert, confident, and just ready to take on the day. Water is going to help flush out toxins from your system, which can improve your complexion and give you a more vibrant, fresh-faced appearance. No amount of grooming or style upgrades can replace the radiance that comes from taking care of your body from within. That includes nutrition as well. So if you want a simple way to look better, feel better, and boost your overall appearance, start with proper hydration, go drink your water, gentlemen, and eat healthy while you're at it. And lastly here, we have being a gentleman. Who you are to your core matters, and being kind or a gentleman makes you stand out in the best possible way. To a great woman, this will always, always, always make a man look 10 times better, way more attractive. I will quite literally never forget the gentlemanly gestures that my husband did for the first time when we were dating. Opening doors for me, giving me his scarf when I was cold, moving me towards the inside of the sidewalk when we walked next to each other to protect me. I absolutely melted when he did all these things because it gave me an insight into his character and how he treats people that he cares about. Now, of course, I already thought he was handsome on the outside. He did everything on this list, but seeing the kind of man he was on the inside made him 10 times more attractive to me. So having good manners, holding doors open, pulling out chairs, being polite. Overall, I think being a gentleman is a combination of traits that make a man kind, respectful, and attractive to women. And again, just to reiterate, the kind of woman that you should want to be with will notice this and will think it makes you more attractive. So don't even worry about the ones who don't think that. But all right, guys, that's all I have for six things that always make a man look better. Again, I really tried to include things that weren't necessarily about style or fashion since I already covered that in a recent video that I did, which I've linked below for you. And if some of these will seem more obvious than others, but I think even things that are common sense or pretty obvious, sometimes we just need a little refresher and reminder to make sure that we're still doing them. And of course, keep in mind there's overlap from other videos I've done per usual, but not everyone who clicks on a video of mine has seen every single video that I've made on my channel. So I think that's just something important to keep in mind. I'm not trying to make the same video over and over, but I try to include things that I think are genuinely important and things that I enjoy talking about or things that I've experienced firsthand that have helped me look and feel my best.
