Look it’s easy to get stuck in your ways as you get older because you figure you know what works right. But sometimes the habits or choices that were fine ten or twenty years ago just aren’t cutting it anymore and women notice these things way more than men think. It’s not about changing who you are it’s just about making small updates that show you actually care about your appearance and staying current. If you want to keep that spark these ten common mistakes older men make are the things you should probably stop doing now.
Dressing In Outdated Clothes
Wearing clothes that are clearly twenty years old and maybe don’t even fit that well anymore is a huge turn off because it looks like you gave up. It’s important to keep your wardrobe current with modern fits not trying to relive your glory days.
Neglecting Basic Grooming
Things like unruly ear nose and eyebrow hair are simple to fix but many older guys completely forget to trim them. Good grooming shows that you take care of yourself which is a sign of self-respect.
The Ill-Fitting Suit Jacket
Wearing a jacket that is either too boxy and huge or one that is way too tight across the middle instantly makes you look sloppy not professional. Proper tailoring is the most important thing because it makes any jacket look expensive and sharp.
Talking Only About Past Successes
Always bragging about old money or past wins makes you sound boring. You seem stuck in the past. Women really want to know what you are doing now and what your current interests are.
Using Cologne Too Strong
If your cologne is too strong, or it smells like the 1980s, people near you will be overwhelmed. That’s just not nice. Only use a couple of sprays of a light, new kind of smell. Always use less cologne.
Refusing To Adapt To Technology
Being completely clueless about simple technology or proudly announcing you don’t even know how to send a text message comes off as stubbornly closed-minded. Being open to new things shows a youthful attitude which is always attractive.
Having Old Tacky Wallet Or Phone Case
These small details you use everyday like a giant Velcro wallet or a phone case that is cracked or covered in stickers stand out more than you think. Invest in a sleek leather wallet or a simple quality phone case because the small things count.
Wearing Shoes Past Their Prime
Keeping a pair of shoes around long after they are cracked scuffed and truly beat up is a huge mistake that drags down your whole look. Footwear is the foundation of your outfit so always keep your shoes clean and in good repair.
Having A Negative Outlook
Constant complaining about the world the economy or younger generations makes you sound grumpy and overly critical which is tiresome to be around. Nobody wants to be with someone who is always finding the negative in everything so try to be more positive.
Being Too Set In Routines
Insisting on the same restaurant or the same activity every single weekend is not fun. It shows you lack surprise. Try to do new things sometimes. Trying new things or experiences makes you much more attractive and interesting.
