A Tight Bottom is Not Enough

A Tight Bottom and a Good Joke

They say that the two most attractive things in a man are a nice bottom and a good sense of humour. Well, a good tailor can help with the bottom - a dart here and a pleat there on a well cut pair of trousers and you'll soon look like you've been giving your gluteous maximus a serious workout at the gym. The means of acquiring a sense of humour could be a bit harder, and is certainly beyond the humble scope of The Tweed Pig. Besides, who doesn't think they have a sense of humour?

Moving on to themes we do cover, I'm sure no one would regard good grooming as a potential turn-off. You'll never fail with a well maintained set of nails and a good shine on the shoes. They speak volumes about the fibre of a man.

Let's concentrate on the nails today, which merely need to be well clipped and in a nice clean state. Unlike the bottom and tailor solution previously mentioned, this can be seen as low-hanging fruit in terms of improving romantic prospects.
