Q. What's the first thing they see?

Answer. Your face! Alright guys, there are some things you need to start doing, right now. Now these tips aren't all about your face but they are all important.

-Regular dental care. Fear of the dentist is almost universal among men. I was once one myself. Not a dentist, but fearful of them. But you can beat the dentist. And live longer. Make everything better that happens which involves your mouth. Namely, brush and floss and use mouthwash daily. Brush your gums, tongue, roof of your mouth and your teeth. The old adage from dental hygiene school is true, "Only floss the teeth you want to keep." Flossing daily is a sure way to sit in the dentist's chair as little as possible. Guys, do it.

-Trim your claws. You notice the details in a great sports play? Know exactly when your truck needs an oil change? This is that type of detail you need to pay attention to as well. And that high protein diet you're on is gonna make this even more of a necessity. And you probably wear flip flops, it is summer time. I'm not telling you to file them round, push back your cuticles or anything like that. Just trim your finger and toe nails short. All of them, weekly. No reason ever to have long nails.

-Strays. Even Albert Einstien would have been smarter with his extra ear, nose and eyebrow hair trimmed. You notice if your favorite girl doesn't shave her armpits right? You can be dang sure she notices the forest your face. Would you spend an hour on Saturday taking care of the yard but leave weeds growing around the edge? No way! So don't do that to your face.

-Soap and water. Let's be frank. Every time you go to the bathroom wash your hands with soap and water. Every time you work out, wash your body with soap and water. Almost every time you are "sick" from eating something, have a tummy ache or the "24 hour flu" it is because you ingested the remnants of someone else's bathroom trip. Yeah, you just read that. So wash your freaking hands and keep everyone else healthy along with yourself.

-Sunscreen. Skin cancer is the most prevalent cancer. But happily it is preventable. Your skin cells divide more rapidly than any other cell in your body. Any screw up in the DNA of your skill cells will be quickly replicated. Cancer. Just say that word again to yourself the next time you think about not using it.

-Shave!

-Smoking. Stop it. This kinda goes into the overall health and hygiene thing. If you smoke, you are a willful moron.

There ya go! All things every guy should be doing. None of them are tough to do, none take more than 2 minutes. None of them are over the top, metro or less your masculinity.  All of them will improve your health, your looks and be appreciated by your friends and lovers.
