A Better Man

Currently enjoying the pina coladas, the sunshine, the sea-breeze and the sun-kissed sands that Thailand has to offer and a thought comes to mind: the vast amount of men populating the streets of the world (including those right here in Krabi) who could look immensely better with nothing more than a pinch of effort. 




A dash of the gym here, a slight wardrobe tweak there, a little bit of focus on posture and disposition everywhere... and virtually any Tom, Harry and Dick could look like an extremely better-looking Tom, Harry and Dick. Almost instantly. 








If any of you (especially the ladies) have ever wondered why there are a lack of attractive, eligible men out there, it's really not so much that God omitted to create the aforesaid genre of man. Rather, the reason that there are relatively more attractive women around as compared to men is because the ladies care about how they look, and thus put in the requisite effort and time in grooming. On the other hand, many straight men are nonchalant or in many cases, simply afraid to invest in personal grooming for fear of being labelled 'soft' or being stereotyped as non-heterosexual. 






In addition to grooming, character and disposition is equally, if not more, important. Today's man must seek out and obtain the development of personal skills such as public speaking, mingling, small-talk, social niceties, formal protocol and tasteful jesting. 








Straight Eye for the Straight Guy claims no expertise in any of the above fields, but it is our collective hope that whatever knowledge and information picked up and passed along to you will be for your betterment and personal enjoyment. Good night and Godspeed.
