As for dress, choose things that work for you. If you are fat and out of shape, you shouldn't be sporting a tank if you want to attract females. If you are older, try to dress more modern. No one is saying you need to wear a suit and button up every time you head out but my god, these guys with beer bellies, rocking farmers tans and gorilla hairy backs are not helping their situation at all. If you are fit, or at least thin you can pull off a little more sport wear than heavier guys.
It amazes me when I go to Phils the number of men and women who wear long pants and long sleeved shirts. As newlife said, I can't do it - I wear shorts and tshirts. But even then I will bring a pair of lightweight summer long pants to take my wife out to dinner or something.
Here at home, about a week ago it turned just cold enough that I started wearing pants and a button down shirt, instead of shorts and tshirts. The wife went gaga. I laughed and reminded her that when we move to the Philippines shorts will be what I wear. "But you look so professional," she said. Same thing with shoes. Flip flops seem so convenient in the Philippines but I knew they didn't impress, so a couple years ago I ended up springing for a nice pair of waterproof leather sandals. They still can be worn anywhere and look "professional" to the average Pinay. It's smoke and mirrors - if you look and act "professional" (or at least what they consider professional) you will have a big advantage.
And they are crazy about scents (good and bad). Wear a cologne or body spray or something. Every girl will love it and will remember that you were the foreigner that didn't stink. BTW, they worry just as much about their smell. My wife won't go out to walk the dog without being clean and is constantly concerned that she might smell. The ex-gf was the same.
Honestly, as the guy in the video shows us, it takes so little to put yourself ahead of the crowd. Act like a man, act and look professional and you will never lack attention from Pinays.
