« How to Look Mas Macho and Masculine - Part I »

Some men have a difficult time projecting a macho and masculine image for many reasons. Sometimes because they are insecure about themselves, othertimes because they have become heavily feminzed by society. Mas Macho is launching its first guide to looking macho and masculine to help those men who aspire to be macho.

First Impressions

First impressions are important. If you want to look masculine, then always meet new people with a firm handshake. Speak loudly and clearly, and make sure that you introduce yourself by stating your full name. You will project a masculine image by being bold, and not timid, when you meet people.

To make yourself look macho, dress the part. When people first meet you, you want them to think you are macho looking, and clothes make the man. Wear a bold solid colored shirt, such as red or royal blue. If you have muscles, then a tight-fitting t-shirt is the way to go, paired with a pair of fitted and faded boot-cut jeans. If you don’t have the muscles to pull off one of those t-shirts, go with a button-down collared shirt, with a pair of khaki pants without pleats. Wear cologne with a woody scent.

Keep your hair neat and out of your face. If you have hair in your eyes, you will look shy, and that is not a trait of a macho man.

Body Language

Body language can speak every bit as loudly as words, so be conscious of what your body is telling people. If you stand with your arms crossed in front of you, you look scared and unapproachable, unsure of yourself. If you have your arms down at your sides, you are open and confident – very masculine.

Stand up straight, like a proud soldier, and keep your shoulders back. If you are slouching and your shoulders are folding inwards, you will look boyish and depressing. Maintain your eye contact when you are talking to someone. If you are constantly diverting your gaze, you will seem uncomfortable and awkward.

Macho men don’t cross their legs, either. Sit with your legs on the floor, grounded.
