How first impressions are ruined

How first impressions are ruined

They say women can size you up within seconds of meeting a guy. Even if at initial glance the overall package seems promising, we’re quick to observe the details and use all of our senses to establish attraction. Here are a few of the quickest ways to take yourself out of the running.

An uneven surface: Even if your pick up lines aren’t exactly polished, she will notice if your skin is in good condition. Blackheads, enlarged pores, bumpy skin and acne flare ups signal to her that either you’re not taking great care of your face or maybe your diet is to blame. She may be understanding about these issues, but the initial impact is compromised, so it pays to clean up your act before you hit the scene. See what your skin needs to face the fall.

Announcing your arrival: Can she smell you before you’re within eyesight? Women have an acute olfactory sense, and as a result, a more immediate physical and psychological reaction to what they smell. The wrong cologne won’t do you any favors, but did you know excess cologne can actually drive her away? See why.

Back-it-up breath: Speaking of smell, if you’re moving in for some close talk, make sure your breath is up to the challenge. Bad breath suggests a poor lack of hygiene to her, even if that garlic knot is to blame. Look to her body language to see if your breath needs a mint assist.

Stooping to say hello: Posture relays confidence. Confidence is sexy. Enough said.

A dim smile: Sure a lot of women think Fifty Shades of Grey, is pretty hot, but not when it comes to your teeth. A smile is one of the first things women notice about a guy. And if you continue to chat her up, guess where her focal point will be? Even minor differences in color can amplify the contrast between the shades.
