My Top 10 Personality Improvement Tips
Written by Alex Marlin on November 24, 2007 – 11:46 pm -To be a better person in life does not take much effort, but more willingness on your behalf and your ability to adjust to change. You can improve your personality once you understand what it is that you wish to change. Many people try to hard to be everybody else, to please everyone and to be a friend to all. The easiest method that gets the best results is to be yourself. As I always state, you can be anything you wish, if you would only be yourself and love yourself more than anyone else.
Here are my top personality improvement tips:
1. Just be yourself - I hate it when I see others imitating people and not trying to be themselves. You can’t go through this life trying to be someone who your not. People give each other more respect when they know they can trust you and understand you. If your a quiet person, then don’t start being loud once your friends come around. You are you, and that is what people likes about you, they like you because your quiet. I have friends that are very loud, they can walk in a room and take over the crowd, but that is the way they are, and you know what, I appreciate that from them — I never try to be that way.
2. Relax more and enjoy yourself - Have you ever seen how tense certain people are when your talking with them. It is as if they are ready to fight no matter who is talking with the. You have to relax and take it easy, no one is trying to conquer your world. Those type of people are very hyper, and if you start a conversation with them, it’s best to agree and move on. No use to try and prove them wrong, you will loose that battle. Just relax and enjoy life, stop going around trying to prove who is right from wrong.
I have seen people get into conversations about things they have no knowledge of, and I would just listen and not say a word. Then they would turn to me and ask what I think. I always try to give a very brief answer and try to change the topic.
3. Put a smile on your face - There are two ways to go about this, one is to have a normal face without the smile (that is the trustworthy face) or a smiley face. Do you know someone who has such a face? I do, and these people are always happy. It just goes to show that a smile on your face can change your mood. So picture great things and keep yourself in a good mood.
4. Improve your dress code - The way you dress can really put you in a better mood. Don’t dress yourself like a rag doll, because it will make you feel like one. If you know of someone who is classy, then why not try and imitate them. You don’t have to go buying brand name clothes, but look around and start trying to improve your dress style.
Look for ways that will make you feel better. Walk with your head high and feel confident about yourself. Don’t put down yourself, and don’t let others put you down.
One thing I hate to see is people wearing their grandparents shoes. If that is you, get with the program. Buy yourself at least two pairs of dress shoes, and start adding a pair every couple of months. If things is tight then just buy one pair, but change it once it is worn. No need to wear them until the soles has wholes.
5. Come out of your shell - Start being a little more friendly and try to talking with people you don’t know. For this to work you will have to start doing things a little different than your accustomed to. You will have to start reading different books, looking at different programs. Just get in the know, that way you will be able to have a conversation about things you never knew before.
Even if the topic is something you have no clue about just listen, and ask questions about the topic. People love to show you how much they know, stop trying to take over the conversation, just become a more attentive listener.
6. Stop trying to be everyone friend - In this life you don’t have to be afraid of anyone, and you don’t have to be friends with all. Don’t do things to please people, do what you like and if someone doesn’t like that, then too bad. You have to understand that when you try to please, you will get stepped on. That way it will look like they like you, but in truth your just being used.
You just need a couple friends that are very close and just be cool with everyone else who you know. you not trying to build enemies, but you don’t have to have everyone as a friend. just greet and be nice, you don’t have to talk to all whom you meet, your not a politician.
7. Get yourself a cologne or perfume - You have to get this one right, if you want to look different and be different, then you have to smell different. Just go to any perfume store and buy yourself a perfume or cologne. You don’t want imitation, they smell awful. If your unsure what to buy, ask the sales people what’s new or what smells great, make them give you plenty of samples. Take your time and pick a scent that you like.
If you still unsure then don’t buy just yet, go back another time with a friend and ask for their honest opinion. When walking on the street and you smell someone with a nice fragrance ask what they are wearing, and go get one.
If you smell good, you will feel more confident, it will boost your ego.
8. Stop complaining - if someone comes to you with a complaint about someone or something, just listen and try to say the least possible. Don’t join them in their complaint ritual. Your trying to improve your life, and that means the less you complain the better it will be for you.
Complaints doesn’t solve problems, action does, so stop wasting your time and energy.
9. Get a more positive outlook on life - Stop being so negative and bringing more failure onto yourself. You have to get a more positive attitude and start seeing the good things that life has to offer. Spend less time worrying and more time doing, action is what makes this world go round and is what gets things done.
10. Start dishing out more of what you wish to receive - I have to give a good friend of mines credit for this one, and just had to mention it here. Your life is like a bank account. You can’t withdraw any money until you put in.
It all starts in your mind, if you want to improve your personality, you will have to do things that caters to those needs. You are what you think of all day long. Don’t sit and become a looser because of your negative attitude.
If you want to be loved, then you have to deposit love, that is the only way you will be able to withdraw love. If you want to live a healthier life, then start doing things that will improve your health. If you want a promotion on your JOB, then start doing things that will show your entitled to a raise and your boss will notice it. No A&* sucking here, that will not help you. No matter what you want in life, you will have to start making deposits before you can expect to withdraw.
Just be yourself and go prove to the world that you can be someone to look up to. You have seen my personality improvement tips, now start working on yourself. I can bet you that if you just pick two or three of the above tips, in a couple months from now, people will start to notice the change in you.

10 Fashion Tips For Skinny Guys
Written by Alex Marlin on October 31, 2007 – 3:16 am -When your thin, it is very important that you understand how to wear your clothes and look great. There are two different body types when we speak of thin people, you have thin and tall, the really skinny frame around six foot and over and the under six foot really small thin people type.
It doesn’t matter which body type you have, you will have to learn how to wear clothes that blends well with your posture and size. I have looked good in my clothing, because I never try to wear clothes that are made for bigger frames.
I have hereby researched the top ten reason how any thin person can definitely look much better and wear their clothes to fit their frame structure:
- Starting at the top of my list is the facial features, our face are very thin, and that is why we should always keep a clean face. Facial here tend to look really bad on skinny faces. If you plan on having facial hair, always have it well groomed and neatly trimmed it really shows character.
- Your shirt sizes should be made to fit your frame. Depending on your size, please try your shirts before you buy. Nothing looks worse than a thin framed person wearing a shirt that is XXL. The seam of you shirt isn’t supposed to be hanging on your arms, it makes you look like you got wind under your clothes and shows a small frame even more. Even worse is wearing a too small shirt, it makes your body look very dry. Another tip is to always wear an undershirt if your really thin, it hides your collar bone.
- For long sleeved shirts, make sure your shirt isn’t too long. We have longer arms, so look for a shirt that fits your arm length.
- Hey, guys I have seen this way too often, your thin, but it makes no sense wearing a belt that is way too big for you. Search around and purchase a belt that fits your waste size. Don’t bore extra holds in your belt with a scissor or a knife, ask at the store where your buying the belt if they can add extra hole, it just looks better.
- Briefs are out, get yourself some boxers. if your having a hard time finding your size boxer, go look in the petite section. Don’t feel bad, you will find a boxer that fits better or just buy a small size.
- Trousers are what makes us look great, because we have long limbs. Your legs are longer so you should find a pants that is long enough, make sure the pipe isn’t tight fit. It looks awful when you see a skinny person wearing a tightly fitted pair of pants. Your pants should always fall on you shoe line, not touching the ground either, or just get it fitted to your length.
- As far as shoes is concerned, I am into clean and neat looking shoes. Don’t wear shoes that are worn down on one side. Get yourself a new pair of shoes, every three to four months, that way you will have shoes that you can swap with. Don’t buy all black, use a little variation in colors and makes. Moccasins looks great on taller people. Once your shoes are getting old and worn, just toss them away and get yourself a new pair.
- Now, I am going to stress that thin people should wear lighter colors, it makes you look bigger in size. Don’t go too heavy on dark colors, wear them in contrast with lighter colors.
- Add a couple pounds to your skinny frame, it will make the difference. It will give your ego a boost, and you will walk with more style and confidence. Your clothes will even fit better. I also believed that I couldn’t gain weight but when I gained 15 pounds of pure muscles in just 6 weeks, I know that anyone can do it.
- Get some kind of exercise routine started, most skinny people are ashamed of showing off our body structure, but what is worse looking than a big pot belly, and I know skinny guys don’t gain weight in their mid section. A little exercise and our six pack will show very easily, because we already have a flat stomach.
I don’t believe in over feeding our kids, so thin kids can use the above dressing tips as well. You will learn to improve your own dress style as you go, just mix and match and listen to what people are saying about you. The more compliments you get about something that your wearing, continue to look for variations of that style of clothing.
Just get into fashion, skinny dressers looks great, once you get the hang of it. It makes no sense walking around looking like a scare crow, while we have the better body structures for the clothes that are very easy to fit. The above tips works just fine, I am walking proof that you can be skinny and look good at the same time.

Dating Tips For Skinny People
Written by Alex Marlin on October 1, 2007 – 2:53 am -Being thin really made my dating life hard, because I was constantly putting myself down and always believing that your I was not good enough. If you feel this is, let me tell you I have been there and done just that, but it doesn’t have to be that way, there is a way to stop putting yourself down and letting you size stop you from catching that dream girl of your life.
I am no dating guru, but I always had a hard time with the chicks, until I learned that girls don’t really know what they want. They just like to be challenged, and once you understand how to trigger that spark of interest, you can make any girl look interested in you.
Understanding how to communicate with women
When I was about fourteen/fifteen, I didn’t catch or understand how to communicate with girls to make them interested in me. I would sit for hours thinking up lines, and studying songs to find words to say to girls. Man, I had no clue I was doing it all wrong. It wasn’t until I understood what to say and how to act around women that made my life easy. To fully understand how to communicate with women I started watching my brothers and other friends of mine and that was what finally gave me the courage to do the same.
I used to spend hours just admiring and never even taking the first step to tell her something, and when I finally did say something, I would just say the wrong thing.
If your in my shoes, I fully understand, but it doesn’t have to be that way, because what we thin guys usually do, is apply a dose of mind sabotage, by telling ourselves that she won’t be interested in such a thin guy before we even approach that girl. We always feel that no such beauty will be interested in such a wimpy body structure.
But, once you understand that it’s not about approach or what you say, it’s more about being yourself, and fully understanding how to start simple conversations with any girl. You have to learn how to communicate more effectively by picking words out of her own sentences and constantly teasing her about anything that she says.
Stop trying to be Mr. perfect
Have you ever been in the situation, where you would naturally stand there trying to figure out what to say to a girl that you were admiring, and when you finally figure out what to tell her all you said was one line. Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds, but that has happened many time to me, because I was always trying to find the right words to say.
Once, I stopped worrying about my size and just approaching each and every “beautiful girl” I saw, just saying something funny that made them smile. I would notice how easy our conversation went after that. I didn’t even have to ask for any numbers, they were telling me to make sure leave my number with them.
But, I must admit, you do have to first understand what to say, and when to say it. And I must admit, that I got some great ideas from double your dating. A simple e-book, that really showed me how to really approach more women on a much easier scale.
Nice guys finishes last
If you read the above phrase correctly, then I know it made you think. If your a skinny guy then I know you’ve been played by many beautiful girls that got you to do things for them you never ever wanted. Please don’t take the above statement lightly, nice guys do finish last. Stop, trying to please women, try to be the one who always says no and play hard to get. Stop giving into what women wants.
We skinny guys are always trying to be nice, it wasn’t until I honestly started playing hard to get, and honestly being cocky where women is concerned, that I started dating some really good looking girls. That all started when I was about 17 years, at 19 years I was unstoppable.
Girls would have boyfriends and would just invite me to parties, because they always had fun with me, I wasn’t “boring”. Yes, you have to be exciting else it will be hard to keep a girl attention.
How A Skinny Guy Got More Dates Than The Bodybuilder
I was a very thin guy, but I had lots of smooth talking skills at a very young age. I realized that women didn’t care how thin I was, once they could laugh and have a good time with me.
My friends used to ask me constantly what I said to them that would make them so interested in me.
Well, let me give you the story of two bodybuilding guys that I took away their girl from. Guys with too much muscles don’t spend enough time training their brain. I saw this cute girl once standing in a mall and she was with this bodybuilder guy. Huge guy, big like a fridge, more muscles than I have ever seen. I walked over to her when he went into a store and asked her how does that rocky mass of a guy fit into her lean and trim schedule, I believe we fit and trim people should stick together (Trim I called myself, I was nothing but bones).
She laughed, and I told her we need to discuss this another time. That was the ice breaker, I just needed to meet her again, the next time I saw it was easy conversations from there. We started meeting more often and the rest was history. I left the bodybuilder heart-broken.
Does size really matter
I will give you one line, that works miracle on all women, whenever I would see any lady that I was interested in, I would walk up to them and introduce myself and say; ” Hi, I just hate it when women is looking at me and just won’t come over to introduce themselves.” They would always laugh, and say who. Then I would introduce myself.
Form that moment on, I would keep finding stuff to tease her about, her lipstick, her bag, the funny clothing she wears, even if she looked good. I would just not acknowledge her beauty, I would keep listening to any words she says, and turn them into sexual innuendos that she was making towards me. I would ask her to stop looking at me like she want to take me home. Size doesn’t matter, just being funny works all the time for me.
Just when she is all in the mood and bursting with laughter I would say I have to go. Always leave when your ahead, that way you will get her number very easy. Make sure she is really into you first.
The best way to learn how to do this, is by practicing, and using mind power to show how confident you are, women love men who don’t come across as needy. Stop showing them how much you want them and you will find the dream girl of your life.
Improve your dress code a little
The first thing you will have to do is improve your dress code. You will have to learn how to dress and combine your colors so that you look good.
One sign to spot a unorganized skinny guy by, is to look at his belt. They always buy big belts, that look like they have their pants tied together. Buy a smaller belt, and make sure it fits, with just two or three extra wholes left over. If your still unsure about dressing, strike up a conversation with a woman you know about improving your dress code and ask her if she would like to help you improve your dress style. Go shopping with her.
I will cover how to improve your dress code in another topic, but, you can start off with that little tip. It will give you a jump start.
For now, go out there and start approaching a couple girls, do it on a daily basis, stop trying to impress them, just play hard to get and be cocky, tease them about anything and everything you can think of.
