Thank you for having me, Connell. It's been a long time I've been working with you. I'm super excited to be here, and I'm so glad that, you know, we get to chat about these vital things that I feel like most men, you know, lack or don't really know. And, you know, it's always good to have, you know, a woman's perspective on these things. And that's why I'm here to make everyone look better, feel better. And then I'll take their photo and they look even better than they do in person. So. Well, every guy who's single and looking for love wants to

Starting point is 00:02:21 be confident. He wants to look his best. He wants to be attractive to women. However, what I've realized is that so many men don't know what they don't know. They don't realize that their clothes might not fit great, or they don't realize that their shoes look like something that you might wear in a bowling alley, but not on a first date. Or you might wear them at the gym, but not if you're trying to impress a woman. So why don't we talk a little bit about what we're going to get to your story too, and how you got where you are. But first, let me just ask you this. Off the top of your head, what do you think the... What are the top one or two biggest style mistakes are that you see men making just out in the world?

Starting point is 00:03:11 Yep, for sure. So I actually prepared a couple bullet points for this. So I am prepared. The first one I did want to talk about was the one that you did. I'm glad one of us is. The most important thing I feel like men don't understand is buying the right fitting clothing i mean like for some reason men just either buy too tight or too big so you're either accentuating the wrong things or you're not accentuating the right things and i feel like it's so important to actually either go to the store, try things on,

Starting point is 00:03:47 or order them, try them at home, and then at least don't rip the tag off because if it doesn't fit, at least you can return it. But I'm a big believer in in-person shopping. I feel like you can get a better idea of the texture, of the quality, how it feels on on your skin how it looks on your body and sometimes things may be too tight in this area and you don't want to you know accentuate that and you want it to be a little more loose here and you just have to try those things on and but one very important thing is that some brands tend to run smaller for example Zara Zara. A lot of men love Zara, but they need to understand that it's a European brand. And a lot of European brands run a lot smaller than, I guess, American brands, like American Eagle, for example. That's funny. Pun intended.

Starting point is 00:04:39 But that just goes to show, one thing from one company, even if you're a size you know 32 and zara doesn't mean you're size 32 and another brand you could be bigger or smaller and that's just on you or the guy to actually go ahead and make sure that it fits correctly because that really makes a great outfit like a $20 well-fitting t-shirt looks better than a $75 ill-fitting t-shirt. Same thing goes for pants, for jackets. Oh, you're right. Yeah, it's not about the brand. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:05:11 Not at all. It's not about the brand for women, right? And you know, you're married now, but you were dating in single once. And weren't you more impressed by a guy wearing that $20 good fitting Zara t-shirt as opposed to a $100 fancy shirt, but it was three sizes too big? Right. Exactly. I mean, we want to be with somebody who kind of knows what looks good on them and wears it confidently. And I guess that's where you come in. So we're like team players, I make sure they dress well. And then you make sure that they're exuding the confidence that they should to get the girl because clothes are one thing, taking care of your hair, which is another thing I'm going to go into later

Starting point is 00:05:53 is another thing. But if, you know, you can look really good. But if you have no confidence, we're not gonna, we're not attracted to that. We we like to see men who not only look good, but give off that the vibe like, I know I look good. And I know you want me. So I'm just I'm not gonna you're not gonna play desperate. You're not going to be too shy. You're gonna go right in the middle, approachable, you know, friendly, attractive. But you know, that that's all you. We don't need to talk about that. We're here for style. I'm going to read your mind. Ready?

Go to datingtransformation.com forward slash contact and transform your love life. Bye. Your first rule, basically, or the one you came up with first was about fit. And that's actually the number one dating style rule I have in my book. There are seven. And the rule number one is your shirt, your pants, your jacket should either be tailored for you or they should look like they were tailored for you. Because the biggest style mistake I see guys make is just

Starting point is 00:08:21 big, baggy, ill-fitting clothes. I was out this weekend with a few clients doing in-person approaching in New York City. It's the wingman weekend where guys go out for a weekend, get numbers, get dates. I help them approach. And I met a couple of clients for the first time in person. They're new clients. And one guy walked in, he's wearing this coat. He looked like David Byrne in that video from the 80s where he's wearing that giant, you know, you may ask yourself, is this my beautiful wife? It's an old reference. You're too young for it. But he looked like Frankenstein from the 1930s movie.

Starting point is 00:08:57 And it's just so easy to miss that. So I think the easiest, fastest fix for guys is just finding clothes that suit their body type. Don't worry about the label so much as worry about the fit. And I think another, I guess, a side thing from that is color, right? Not everything needs to be black. Okay. I mean, guys love navy. I mean, granted, it looks great on everybody.

Starting point is 00:09:23 Don't get me wrong. But I feel like you could really introduce color into your wardrobe. And it doesn't have to be like reds or purples. Do you know what I mean? Like you include salmon pink. I know that sounds a little bit like what is the salmon pink? Well, if you know what a wild caught salmon looks like, that's the pink I'm talking about. Or you can include like marigold, like a mustard yellow, you know, fun, but not too loud colors will bring a lot to a simple outfit. So for example, you have like, like blue jeans with a white t shirt. Yeah, that looks good. Right. But if you do blue jeans with a salmon pink or a mustard shirt, it's like, Oh, he's not afraid of color. That looks nice on his

Starting point is 00:10:05 skin tone. And I feel like that's just another way to kind of elevate your outfit. And then other than, you know, those kinds of colors, I also love to tell my guys and when I bring them shopping, I like to get things that all match. So I love the neutrals, right? I love the whites, the grays, the navy, the beige, the olive greens, you know, all those things, they all tie together so well that you things that fit well and have all great matching colors and you're set for the whole season or for the whole year. And then you can always buy the same things in shorts or in khakis or chinos. I'm sorry. You know, so I feel like that's another thing other than fit is color. So. Color's important. I'll defer to you because I'm a colorblind man. And I always just, that's why I need you. That's why I need the help of a woman or somebody who can help me is color is not my strong suit. Let me ask you this, staying on the topic of mistakes men make that they don't realize they're making. What else comes to your mind? Like what's a really common faux pas or style blind spot that a lot of men don't know they have. And then once they knew it, know it, they can fix it almost right away. I feel like it's, it's kind of simple, but it's not too simple because some men are just, I guess, lazy hair.

Starting point is 00:11:52 Okay. Facial hair, head, head, head. Like one thing where men lack, like they just think, okay, I'm just going to wake up in the morning, take a shower, go out the door. I mean, if you have a nice set of hair, great, good for you. But some people, you know, you need to style it. And if you don't want to style it, at least have a good haircut. So I like to tell my guys at least two weeks, two to three weeks, get a shape up, get a haircut, fix your beard. Like a well trimmed beard makes such a difference than something that's wild and bushy. You know, and that's I feel like it's something you could learn if you don't want to go to the barber fine but at least take some time out of your day or your weekend and youtube it buy some clippers or a shaver or whatever the fuck they're called and spend some time in the mirror and just clean up the sides you know line up the you know the angles on your face

Starting point is 00:12:42 and it just makes such a huge difference. And I feel like a lot of guys just don't realize that. You know, and same thing goes for your head. Listen, if you're balding, just, and if it's obvious, just shave it off. Just shave it off because it's going to, we're going to figure it out. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like why, why try to hide?

Starting point is 00:13:02 Yeah. I forget where I heard this line, but somebody once said, baldness is a condition. Shaving your head is a look. So go for a look. Don't think of it as a condition. Go for a look. Because basically your hair or your lack thereof, it should look on purpose, right? It should look like, oh, here's the look I'm going for. Whether you're rocking a cool fade, or you're shaving your head, or you're doing what I do, which is I have this naturally thick, almost afro, this ginger afro. And years ago, I got some good advice from a style expert and she said I'm sorry from my a girl I just started dating and she said why don't you just go get a consultation with a hairstylist and just go in and see what they have to say and when I went from this big bushy

Starting point is 00:13:59 this big bushy you know Ron Weasley red ginger haircut to something that had a little style and a little bit of fun on top and a little bit shorter on the side, I literally felt 20% more confident. So I guess that's the other thing that men might not realize is when you get that really cool haircut and to your point, get that beard sculpted so it looks on purpose. It just makes you feel so much more confident. And also, of course, makes you look better to women. Right. For sure. I'll shut up now.

Starting point is 00:14:33 But definitely, like, if you don't have a good beard, like, at least maintain your hair on your head. Do you know what I mean? Like, you have to balance it somehow. So that's just, that's one thing on hair. Yeah. And so you're here sort of as a double expert in a sense, because not only are you a style expert, but you're also a woman, a formerly single woman now married, but you certainly have, you know, a lot about what women want and what they like. And here's why I tell men to get your style handled, not just because it makes you feel more confident and because you look better,

Starting point is 00:15:08 which will help dating connections and results. But I feel like the way a woman's mind works is she checks a guy out and she's not worried about labels so much. She's just trying to say to herself, oh, he's got nice, good manicured nails. He's got cool sneakers, cool stylish sneakers, or a nice tailored shirt that fits him. He's got his style together. So he must have his whole life together. And that makes him a more attractive dating proposition. What are your thoughts on that perception of how women look at a man's style and make judgments about him? No, I completely agree. I feel like you can kind of tell a lot by what someone's wearing, like if they're not well put together, or if their outfit is just baggy and not in a fashionable

Starting point is 00:15:55 sense, because that could be fashionable. You know, people do wear the baggier pants and whatever. But for most of the time, maybe it's not intentional and they just don't give a fuck about what they're wearing and that kind of just reflects their their home or maybe their lifestyle you know and this was going back to what i was saying about taking time to take care of yourself i feel like that kind of goes side by side with your hair if you take time to take care of yourself and you're prioritizing yourself, it'll show. And that it shows to women that,

Starting point is 00:16:28 okay, he can take care of himself so he can take care of me, a man who cannot take care of himself. How the fuck do you expect them to take care of a woman? Like, it just doesn't, it doesn't, you know,

Starting point is 00:16:38 add up in my head. And, you know, you and I both know we do prioritize things that matter to us. So if we matter to ourselves and we take care of ourselves, that shows that, you know, we have our priorities straight, that we know what's good for us and we want to improve our lives and improve our well-being and ourselves. And then we have the space to bring someone else in and take care of them and enjoy their company. I feel like that just kind of goes together somehow about just taking care of yourself in general. Awesome. I love that. I'm going to steal that line. If you can't take care of yourself in your own style, how are you going to take care of the woman you're trying to date. That's fantastic. Let's talk about shoe game.

Starting point is 00:17:27 Okay. Do's and don'ts of shoes, sneakers. What mistakes do you see guys make and how can they fix them? I'll answer my own question, then I'll give it over to you. The thing I see a lot is guys, they're just wearing their walk around going to Kmart shoes, or they're wearing their two-year-old gym shoes on dates. They're basically just wearing the shoes they have in their closet. Instead of making a little bit of a style statement with their choice of either sneakers or nice dress shoes for a date. Give us some pointers on shoe game. Yeah. I mean, not even, it's just making a little bit of an effort to have just one good pair of shoes that you can wear out on a date. And I completely agree with you. A lot of the guys that I've worked with is they just have these raggedy old shoes that they wear just for the grocery store. Do not wear that on your first date because we will look right down at those

Starting point is 00:18:30 shoes and say, what on earth is he wearing? Like he couldn't pull at, lack of dates and lack of confidence. For many men, dating just sucks. But it doesn't have to. There's a simple yet powerful way to gain instant confidence and attract a great girlfriend. Be radically authentic. It's all laid out in the number one Amazon bestselling book, Dating Sucks But You Don't. Your step-by-step guide to attracting wonderful women and doing it with total authenticity.

Get Dating Sucks But You Don't today to transform your confidence and find your dream girl. And I personally think every man needs to have these two shoes, okay?

Starting point is 00:20:12 It's a crispy pair of white sneakers that can be fucking Converse, that can be Vans, that can be Nike, that can be Adidas. You can just go to Aldo's and get a $70 pair of really nice white sneakers and only wear them for special occasions. Only wear them on dates. And then every other day you can wear your gym shoes, you can wear your grocery shoes. But just have, you know, a good pair of shoes reserved for special occasions. And that's good for, I'd like to say, spring, summer, winter, fall, right? But in the winter and the fall, you can dress it up a little bit more. And you can get yourself some lace-up boots, some Chelsea boots. I love Chelsea boots for men.

Starting point is 00:20:54 I really recommend either doing a tan leather boot or a black leather boot. Both go really well with almost everything. I do tend to lean more towards the brown leather i feel like that's more versatile um but if i had to tell every guy to buy two shoes it would be the white sneakers and the brown leather boots those are like my top two things yeah fantastic uh that's great sneak sneaker game when i learned sneaker game when i say game i just mean having cool sneakers i so when i first started dating actively working on my dating life it was in the mid 2000s it was way back when john adams was president and i was wearing loafers. I was wearing gym shoes. And I just wasn't thinking about it.

Starting point is 00:21:49 And then I just started, I found a pair of cool Stan Smiths. I found a pair of Pumas I really liked, nice new Pumas. And I just noticed the few dates I was getting back then, the girl would look down and say, oh, those are really cool shoes. And oh, I also found jeans. Jeans really helped me feel more confident because at the time I was wearing these pleated khakis with big pleats. I could hide my wallet. I could put my wallet between the pleats of my pants if I wanted to. They were just awful. And then I found Diesel Jeans. And for me, Diesel Jeans just looked and felt amazing. I vividly remember this woman just saying, hey, I love the jeans. You're looking great tonight. And before I knew it, I was like, whoa, this cute girl is into my style and the date went better. So I guess I wanted to ask you about

Starting point is 00:22:43 jeans. You like chinos, you like khakis for guys, which I'm open to as long as the pleats are not there. But any thoughts on jeans, brands you like or places to find them or how to figure out the fit for you? What's your take on the best jeans for men? Okay, so not every guy, I've learned to figure this out. Not every guy likes the whole skinny jean look and we're not in the you know 2010s anymore so you don't need to look like a skater boy we don't we don't need that unless you like that look I do like the slim or athletic fit look or straight never boot cut or boot cut but I always feel like men who have um like skinnier legs it shouldn't be too wide

Starting point is 00:23:28 because then you look like it just doesn't look proportionate to your body especially if you're slimmer in the top as well something that's a little bit more slimming fitted to your legs looks a lot more attractive makes you look taller slimmer. And then in terms of color, I always do about like these four, I would say a light wash denim, a medium wash denim, or medium to dark, a gray jean, and then a black jean. I feel like with those four colors, you cannot go wrong. You can mix and match almost any color like shirt sweater button down you know jacket for all the seasons i feel like it's just a good four pair to have you can get fancy with like you know more detailed uh more expensive jeans but like i said earlier you don't need to buy fucking 300 jeans

Starting point is 00:24:21 just go to american eagle like they they have really great 60 70 jeans and you, just go to American Eagle. They have really great $60, $70 jeans and you can just go to the store, try them on, make sure you match what fits and then once you find the right fit, you can just buy the same fit in different colors. That's the beauty of that. I have a story. I have a client.

Starting point is 00:24:42 One of your clients, actually. We went shopping and we were in the market for jeans. And we went to American friends. And his friends were complimenting him on his jeans. And like, bro, where'd you get those jeans, bro? And he was like, you wouldn't believe it. He goes, where? American Eagle. And he was like, what? American Eagle?

Starting point is 00:25:14 They look like they're from Frame or APC. And I'm like, those jeans are like quadruple the price of American Eagle jeans. But they look almost identical or if not, you know, better than what you could have gotten. So three pairs or four pairs of that jean for one pair of that jean. I mean, where is the value? You know what I mean? Like where, where do you get the most bang for your buck? You know that, and that was just a really great moment. I love when I hear compliments like that from, from the clients. And whenever they tell me, oh, this girl complimented my shirt or something like this, and I wouldn't have bought it if you didn't tell me to buy it.

Starting point is 00:25:55 And that's probably my most favorite thing. Right. And when guys go, you know. Yeah, that feels great. I wouldn't even go here if I didn't even know about this store. I wouldn't even go here if I didn't even know about this store. I wouldn't even have tried this on, but I feel like that's kind of my job, you know, to,

Starting point is 00:26:12 to push you guys out of your comfort zone and to really show you that there's more to life than whatever you've been wearing. And there's, there's more things that you can do with your style and just to not be afraid to, to try new things. Cause you never, you really never know like how, what the outcome outcome could be.

Starting point is 00:26:29 I have to do a poll of women on this because I want to find scientific data to back this up, but here is my theory. Women give so few fucks about good looks. Every woman wants their man to look good. Looks are overrated. Your looks are overrated in terms of what it's going to take for dating success. But your look,

Starting point is 00:26:56 your style is so important to the vast majority of women. And guess what? You can't fundamentally change your jawbone, your height, your muscles. I mean, you can with a lot of hard work or in my case, a lot of plastic surgery. But you can overhaul your style in one weekend working with somebody named Rianne or just doing it on your own. So it's just so important. Let's finish up with a couple final points here. As you know, I'm all about authenticity. I help men awaken that authentic self and just really become really real with women and who they are. And one of the things I love about helping a guy with his style is that's a way for him to express his personality in his style. And so for example, when I was out working really hard on my

Starting point is 00:27:47 dating life, I started wearing these cool, what I thought were cool, fun, vintage t-shirts, Beatles stones, ACDC, because that's me. I like classic rock. I play guitar poorly. And I bought this, I bought a necklace, which I didn't think would be me, but I put it on. The necklace was made of these metal guitar picks. It actually was really cool and masculine. It wasn't girly or too out there for me. And I would go out sometimes and women would say, whoa, that's so cool. Tell me about those guitar picks. Then I got to talk about my hobbies or, oh, I like your shirt. And then I got to talk about liking classic rock. And then she got to open up about what she was into. So for me, great style is also about expressing that most authentic version of yourself

Starting point is 00:28:37 so women can kind of get an imprint of who you are. And if they like who you are, they like your vibe, then you're going to be money in the bank with her what are your thoughts on the importance of expressing your true personality through your style choices as a man so definitely i agree with the whole if you wear t-shirts that kind of show your interest like for you was um you know band or it could be even sports i know it could be tacky but you might meet the girl at the bar who is also a big fan of the rangers or something and that could spark conversation so i feel like you know wearing things that kind of express who you are and

Starting point is 00:29:16 your interest is a great conversation starter it's a great icebreaker it's um a way to kind of invite us into you know your world your interests and i think that's that's great i feel like people shouldn't like if you hate something don't put it on a shirt and then walk around with it because people are going to talk to you about it and then you're going to say oh but i actually dislike or don't like that that thing so why the fuck are you wearing it and i i feel like that also goes i'm just gonna with who play instruments or like kind of play instruments and then they put it on their dating profiles and they say oh i play the guitar you know and then i come over to your house and i ask you to play me something and you can only do doremi or fucking you know a lullaby like

Starting point is 00:30:06 an instrument if you can't play it that is the one thing that always bugged me when I you know when I took photos for some of these some of your clients they're like oh can you take photos of me playing the guitar and I'm like but can you actually play and he's like no I'm like then why are you showcasing that? That's catfishing. We don't do that here. You know, we have to be authentic, right? Tell me.

Starting point is 00:30:31 Tell me when they do that. I will yell at them. But, you know, most of the time. You're not listening to me. Go ahead. Most of the time, they actually play the guitar. So that's great. But the very few that aren't really good at whatever they're trying to showcase,

Starting point is 00:30:47 I feel like that's super fake. And that's not something that you'd want to give off when you first start dating someone. You want to be honest with the people that you're trying to be with. So I feel like just stay true, like you say, to yourself and to your interests and to your talents and capabilities. Yeah. And if you're listening to this and you want to approach women, take it from me. This happened to me years ago. I was early in my journey of going out and meeting women in bars, coffee shops, nervously walking up to them in Starbucks. And once I got my style together, I could see a 10% to 12% improvement in the reactions I got from women when I walked up to them in a cool pair of jeans, a nice t-shirt, nice hair. I just saw their eyes go up and down

Starting point is 00:31:40 in an instant to figure out what's this guy's deal. Is he cool or is he a creep? And the right clothes can show to a woman, hey, this guy's awesome. He means you well. There's something good here for you. And it actually helped me with my approaching and dating confidence and just got me better reactions from women. So there's really no downside to having your style handled. That's what I'll say. None at all. Oh, and then before we go, quick story that you're going to love. Last weekend, I was out with one of my clients who you made over. I can't use real names on this podcast, but we'll call him Magic Mark, a tall gentleman from Long Island. You know who he is. And he looked amazing. He walks into this

Starting point is 00:32:23 rooftop bar where I'm with some other clients and he's just got this fresh haircut. He's got the outfit you had him wear. He's got this really cool button down. And he was just walking really tall compared to the cargo shorts he was wearing a long time ago and some big ratty T-shirt. And during this event on Saturday night, he walks up to a bar or walks up to the bar where there's five women together in a group. He walks up and does this really confident, great approach and all of their heads turn toward him. And he gets this great reaction from five women. And then fast forward about a half hour later, I'm leaving with a couple other guys and I look over and there's Mark hitting it off with one of those women. And anyway, so you did that or you helped to do that. So thank you for what

Starting point is 00:33:12 you do for my clients. You're so welcome. I really enjoyed styling him. He really had no idea what to wear and he just put all his trust in me. And I feel like that's the best way to kind of let me guide you. Just, you know, stay in the fitting room. I will bring clothes to you. We'll try stuff on. I'll get a feel for your vibe. If you don't like how it feels or how it looks,

Starting point is 00:33:37 tell me right away. And I'll know, like, you'll look at yourself in the mirror and say, and then I'm like, okay, take it off. We'll try something else. And eventually we'll end up with a couple great pieces that, you know, really make you feel confident. And it really changes the mood of like how, how you feel about yourself, the vibe you're giving off to other women, to, to people. And I feel like more men need to really think about just taking some time, going through your closet, throwing out the things that don't fit anymore or you're not too sure.

Starting point is 00:34:11 Try it on. And then maybe, you know, hitting my line and letting me take you shopping. And we could change some lives over here like we did with Magic Mark. Yeah. Magic Mark. Yeah. Magic Mark. Yeah. But please, please, no pleaded khakis. Be a hot guy, not the helpful Honda guy.

Starting point is 00:34:34 That's my view. Hey, Rhiann, let's finish up with this.
