Sur­vey says, “Well-groomed men are much more attrac­tive.”  Could this be true?

A recent sur­vey by Amer­i­can razor maker Schick found that well-groomed men have twice as much sex than the unshaven.

Men who shave at least five times a week are hav­ing sex a whop­ping 15.5 times per month (let your mind wan­der on the .5 there), com­pared to just 7.8 times for their unshaven com­pa­tri­ots (again…).

The report also shows that well-groomed males are much more con­tent with life and are far more out­go­ing and friendly and males who shave at least five times a week are twice as likely to be in full-time employ­ment than men who shave just twice a week.

Accord­ing to the sur­vey, well-groomed men earn on aver­age $15,100 more per year than infre­quent shavers and are also far less likely to live with their parents.

The poll, con­ducted for Schick by mar­ket research firm Strat­e­gy­One, fur­ther reveals that 75% of those ques­tioned feel that a cleanly-shaven man is a turn-on because they see such men as hav­ing a higher self-awareness, deeper com­mit­ment lev­els and supe­rior com­fort with themselves.

Dan Hil­drew, from UK-based wet shav­ing retailer the Shav­ing Shack, said the find­ings showed that women were becom­ing more inter­ested in how their man looked.

“Mod­ern women want their man to be well-groomed as it shows greater self-awareness and a much higher sense of pride and commitment.”

Here at The Casual Gent, I know that more and more men are tak­ing notice of them­selves and how they are per­ceived.  This study just adds fuel to the fire.  More sex. More money. Self-awareness. All from just car­ing about yourself.

We’ve all got our lit­tle nuggets of wis­dom and encour­age­ment, how­ever, when I read the lat­est issue of MensFit­ness Mag­a­zine (cover to cover as always), Roy S. Johnson’s Editor’s Note, if you will, really put a spring in my step, a fire under my ass, and added a lit­tle umph in how I see the world.

Here is part of it — take some­thing from it:

Get excited about where life is tak­ing you, through the incre­men­tal gains you make every day-in your career, in your rela­tion­ship, and in the gym. You love work­ing out because it’s going to make you look and feel bet­ter. You’re smarter than you’ve ever been, and you’re prob­a­bly eat­ing bet­ter than you did years ago. You’re going to be stronger, fit­ter, and health­ier, even if you think you don’t look as good as you once did.

For­get that guy. He got lucky, maybe ben­e­fited from being at the right end of the gene pool. The guy you’re going to be will be even bet­ter, no luck involved.

Tackle today with the zeal you dis­play in your work­outs. Imag­ine if you pushed as hard at work as you did on that last rep of dur­ing that last mile on the treadmill.

Imag­ine if you were as metic­u­lous about your career as you are about your regimin, which you chron­i­cle and track like a mad scientist.

Imag­ine if you were as curi­ous and dili­gent in your rela­tion­ship as you are about the food you eat.
Yes, the old job was great. The old girl­friend was hot. Sure, you were once the hottest hunk on the beach.

But if you attack today with the enthu­si­asm, pas­sion, and com­mit­ment, those old yous-as cool as they were-will quake in the shadow of the you you’ll surely become.

This is the out­come I invi­sion for this blog and what­ever it morphs into. Become the bet­ter and best ver­sions of your­self in every facet of life: my wish to you…whoever you are.
