Be Better Guys: Your hands say a lot about youYou shake hands, you hold hands, and so simply put, your hands see a lot of work. The next time you're in a business meeting, take a moment to look at the hands and fingers of the other men at the table. It will surprise you how many guys focus on wardrobe, hair, even grooming, but neglect their hands. Follow these basic guidelines, and you will no longer be one of those guys.Neatly clip your fingernails weekly. This means you need to have nail clippers.

There's nothing wrong with using an emery board on your nails.  In fact, it's encouraged. If you don't, that's fine, but be sure to trim any sharp edges. All scratching should be done intentionally and with consent;
 
Manicures: We encourage you to get a professional manicure a couple of times a year.  They're inexpensive (about $15), take about half an hour, and will make your hands look better than you can.Remove dirt from under the nails with the file attached to the clippers. Clean your nails with nail brush when you shower. Don't use your business card, a paper clip, or your teeth.

Use lotion on your hands daily.  Keep some hand lotion at your desk. Dry, cracked knuckles are simply not sexy.

Do us all a favor and stop picking and biting your nails. They're not food.

  • It’s not your Momma’s job anymore.  Or your girlfriend’s.  Make your own damn bed every day.
  • Try making a new mixed drink every month. Throw a party and make the guests bring the booze!
  • Take off your hat when inside (except football Sundays).  Especially on a date, Sparky.
  • Put shoe inserts in your shoes.  It makes them a lot more comfortable to walk in.
  • Buy a loofah pad and scrub your body once a week.  It keeps the body acne at bay.
