1. Lack of personal hygiene
This should go without saying, yet, it
seems like some people are totally clueless to their own body odor.
Sure, if you’re out in the woods on a backpacking trip or running rivers
all summer, a certain expectation of general smelliness goes along with
that. However, if you’re a man about town who attends social functions
on the reg, do us all a favor and make sure you keep yourself clean,
smelling fresh and well-groomed, like the handsome gent we know you are.
2. Chewing food like a cow
What’s worse than talking with your
mouth full? Smacking your lips like a barn animal every time you put
food into your pie hole. There’s absolutely no reason why you should be
shoveling food into your mouth like it’s going out of style. Quit the
incessant lip-smacking and remind us you’re a gentleman with a general
grasp on table manners.
3. Leaving dirty dishes in the sink
It’s one thing to leave a couple dishes
in the sink until the morning, but it’s quite another to have a stack
piled high for days on end. Not only is it disgusting, it will start to
smell, and maybe even attract gnats and fruit flies. Don’t let grossness
fester in your own home. Clean the dishes, change out your sponges
regularly, and spray a little Clorox on your counter.
4. Letting your beard get out of control
Coming from a gal who calls a mountain
town home, I’m no stranger to, or hater of, some good manly facial hair.
There’s just something about a guy who can grow hair on his face that
ensures you he also, more likely than not, drinks whiskey, wears
flannel, and chops his own wood. But what’s definitely not cool or
appreciated, is when a beard becomes so out of control that it makes you
cringe. How gross is it when food particles get caught or it scratches a
girl just a little too much when going in for a smooch. So please guys,
keep it clean and keep it manageable, because a beard should be a nice
compliment to a face, not something that needs its own zip code.
5. Leaving facial hair on the sink
This is an important one to touch on
(see previous “out of control beard” reference). You know what I’m
talking about – those gross little shavings that inevitably fall in and
around the sink, turning the area into a fur-covered vanity. In reality,
it’s really not that tough. So please, just do everyone a favor and
clean up your own hair.
6. Oral hygiene
We all know no one wants to kiss an
ashtray, and it’s hard to believe there are still folks out there who
smoke cigarettes anyways. But what about those who just, simply put, are
unaware of how bad their breath is, or how they should really take
a visit to the dentist for a cleaning? Bi-annual visits to the dentist
aren’t only for those who chew tobacco (yet, if you do, please heed
cation and make sure your flossing game is on point). Please, don’t be a
stranger to all the minty fresh products available to us.
