Damien,
I regret to say that the last headline, which I did not choose, was slightly misleading.
The point was that your BODY LANGUAGE was the most important external factor in making yourself attractive, not that you had to be in amazing physical shape or have a 'hot bod'.
And I pointed out that the first step to attractive body language was strong posture.
But your question leads to an important topic. How important are your 'looks'?
While a partner's looks aren't nearly as important to women - who are generally attracted more to a man's personality reflected in his body language and tonality - as they are to men, your physical appearance can help a lot.
Just as you can learn what to say and do and develop confidence, you can also cultivate your outward image and your 'looks'.
I've personally coached and witnessed the worst-case scenarios. Obese, balding, pimple-faced guys in Coke bottle glasses - who through the miracles of contact lenses, fitness training, shaving, dermatology, and men's fashion - transformed into cool, attractive men exuding charm and confidence.
You took the first step last week when you started the habit of the Wall Stand.
The next step is to ask a trustworthy female friend, 'If you had to change one thing about the way I groom myself, what would it be?' Put aside your ego, stay open-minded, and listen carefully.
Next week, I'll get into some detailed suggestions about how you can groom yourself to reflect a more attractive image.
