TOPIC: Rok's Journal to Style with Pics 2 (Comments appreciated)

Thanks a Lot for your wisdom

Glasses vs no glasses:
I got contact lenses now.
I have eye rings. Not sure I look better without glasses. Asking girls was mixed, some said better with glasses, some said better without. (I realize it’s more normal to say one looks better without glasses, cause when you say you look better with glasses you are basically telling the person you look ugly)
Do you think I look better without glasses?
(I guess the answer is a clear yes in these pics, but i think it's less clear in real life but well)

Shoes:
Ok.
Reason I got these high-top Converse Shoes was because I wanted a high-top shoe to put Shoe-Insoles (special ones, for height increase) in it.

It’s gotta be a high-top shoe, else it doesn’t work with the Shoe-Insoles.
Would another color of the shoe make it better?

I guess because I need a high-top shoe -> I need boots? Cause normal shoes don’t work for Shoe insoles.
High top normal shoes I just found: Converse, and there is one Nike shoe that is high-top.

Now there is sommer, so i’ll just work on a summer outfit for now.
(The converse are good in that regard, they are good for hot weather)

Chelsea boots, ok, but then I cannot wear the shoe insoles. (Or can i? Perhaps very very small insoles)
I was looking for an option with shoe insoles, cause perhaps even a bad style is better than being bigger than 5’6’’.

Facial hair:
I tried Minox for 3 months, there was no beard growth, but lots of bad skin that got irritated and red. (First I did the liquid 2x per day, then went to the foam once per day the irritation still did not go away)

My beard style right now:

(the few that I had, mostly I had the same)

Should i really try no beard at all, i look like a kid then (even more).
(unfortunately i didn't find a pic)

Hairstyle:
Hm. Where to find a good hairstyle. I have a long face, don’t know if high hair is the best. I guess I let it grow now and make more photos while it grows.

Jeans:
They are the best fitting jeans I ever wore in my whole life, but still too long.
You mean it’s too long, or? (not too wide)
Thanks for the tip with the hemming by a tailor.
I guess I will do that, or try to find smaller sizes online.

Bro, 90% of that look good thing is about being in shape. That is the hard work part. Once you're in great shape, finding the right style is a piece of cake.

You could pull a lot of girls possessing only :
- One pair of slim black levi jeans
- A couple of well fitting tank tops (show off your body)
- A necklace, a bracelet and a ring
- A baseball cap that you wear backward (also solves any hair issues)

This takes an afternoon and costs less than 200$. Keep it simple stupid.

Now, don't expect any miracles until you are in great shape. That is, cut the bodyfat.

I also think you would greatly benefit from some tan.

Oh and as a definitive answer that glasses question...

The problem is not the wearing of the glasses bro - it is the glasses itself. They simply look bad... They basically would make any man look like a sex-less nerd. You could possibly pull off a glasses look with some money and research invested in that. In my opinion tho, way easier to go with contacts for now.

Cheers

I think almost everyone looks better without glasses because men look healthier and more manly without them. People look more intelligent with glasses but that is kinda useless for getting laid. So my 2 cents is to ditch the glasses.

Also, he is 100% right:
"Bro, 90% of that look good thing is about being in shape. That is the hard work part. Once you're in great shape, finding the right style is a piece of cake."

Glasses:

I wouldn't worry too much about eye circles. Even if they're a problem for you, glasses don't actually help. Definitely go without glasses like everyone else mentioned.

Haircut:

1. Find a higher end barber shop or salon
2. Request a "medium skin fade, leaving the hair long on top" (you can also ask for a triple zero extension instead of a "skin" fade, they're basically the same thing)
3. Come back and post pics
4. If they didn't do an awesome job, find a new shop and try the same thing again

Facial Hair:

Go with the stubble you have in that one beard styles photo for now. Better than clean shaven, and better than all the variations you posted. That looks the best by far. Don't let it get too long or it will look gross. You need time for the minox to fill in your face a bit or you'll end up with a nasty looking beard.

Minoxidil:

You didn't get results because you didn't use it for anywhere near long enough. 3 months is the absolute, bare minimum to even see the tiniest of changes. It's a 1-2 year daily routine.

Skin irritation is a good point. I wasn't susceptible to that so I don't have a perfect solution. I use the Rogaine 5% foam you can buy off Amazon, once in the morning and once at night. In the first 6 months it was sometimes itchy, but my skin actually got used to it and now there are no sides. It may just take a while for your skin to adjust.

You're also possibly using way too much. More is not necessarily better. Use the foam and only apply half a capful, like it says on the mini aerosol can. I know a lot of guys slather it on, which will definitely irritate your skin.

You can also moisturize with coconut oil (or some other moisturizing product) in between the minox. Since you seem to have sensitive skin, WASH THE MINOX OFF 4 hours after you apply it, and put on something to moisturize your face. I bet you'll be fine if you do that in combination with the other things I listed above.

Clothes:

You need to be wearing tighter pants. This is hard for a lot of guys, because they aren't used to it and feel like it looks "weird" on them. Still gotta do it. Those pants should be form fitting. That white shirt does look great on you, though.

I'd give more advice on the subject of clothes, but I don't have the time.

accessories:

Get yourself a nice, shiny Invicta watch. As in all metal, no leather straps or anything. I personally like Invicta, but there are lots of watch brands made with metal bands that look like higher end watches. Shiny is good. I prefer silver to gold, but that depends on what else you're wearing. Gold is more "out there" so you need to be more edgy in the rest of your outfit as well.

The shit no one wants to admit is really important:

Tattoos
Dyed hair
Piercings

You don't have to do any of these. but holy fuck does it ever make a difference in how sexy you look.

Thanks!

WHAT I DID so far in the meantime:
- contact lenses
- fake tan: i like it soo much. But on the other hand many people also told me it looks weird - because after 3 days there is some color-differences in the face, and if i re-apply every 2nd day this also happens.. i have to look at this further. Down there is a pic with fake tan. -> but the width is fucked up here, see link for more accurate
- fixed a small part in my front teeth, makes good difference
- Hair got longer and got some compliments for this hairstyle
- current fashion: henley white long tshirt, jean, dark red shoes, see in pics in link
[- shoe inlays: already did that before

You may be underestimating what a big difference a skin fade makes. You HAVE to get a fade on the sides.

The shorter stubble looks better. DO NOT make your mustache shorter than your beard, with the chinstrap, almost looks Amish. Keep the length of the beard and mustache the same.

You look much better with the contact lenses, stick with them.

There's a pic where your jawline is really showing, probably cuz you were leaner. Soo get leaner, your face will look much better.

I always recommend getting magnetic earrings to people if they're not ready to get piercings. I wear them all the time and no one ever notices they're magnets. They make a huge impact on your overall look though.

Seconding the magnetic earrings. I always tell people if they ask that they're magnetic and everyone so far has thought it's cool, like a party trick

EDIT: And keep it up! I think you look a lot better in this latest pic. Just don't quit

Thanks guys!

- skin fade hair:
Ok, i am afraid looking at the pics.. i have the thought of my face being long and the skin fade making it appear even longer

- mustache not shorter than beard: ok, cool

- Magnetic Earrings: cool. There are just the round ones basically, aren't there? Black or metal seems to be the option (ok, there is also gold). I guess not to take ones with signs on them, well.

WHAT I DID:
- just remember i also died my beard black.. it looked ok i think - but don't know if effort time and money speak for it
- used some light makeup -> it's ok, on the other hand people noticed

WHAT i did not do yet:
- tattoos: i looked into henna (this is nice for a few days, then ugly for most of the time till it fades)
- piercings
- dying hair

Heres what I recommend:

Good job btw, youre making progress.

If you find some good temporary tattoo ink, let me know i'm interested.
Otherwise check out INKBOX online. I've tried it and they look real and last a couple weeks
