Problem: Article: French people take pride in how they look, and they take pride in how they dress. You won't see them dressing down for comfort outside the home. For example, don't wear yoga pants or hoodies to go to the coffee shop or grocery store. Pay attention to your dress at all times when outside the house. Take pride in what you're wearing even for mundane activities and on typical days. It's about an attitude. Even in casual wear, a Parisian is more likely to toss on a blazer (over a T-shirt) than wear a hooded sweatshirt. Carry yourself with confidence, and walk with your head held high and your posture straight, knowing that you're dressed well and will command respect as a result. Parisians are not afraid to keep and show small physical imperfections, even though their clothing is impeccable. They are all about natural beauty. Don't worry if your nose is a bit big or your teeth crooked. For example, Vanessa Paradis is considered one of the world's great French beauties, and she has never fixed the prominent gaps in her teeth. Along those same lines, don't pluck your eyebrows too much or augment your lips with fillers. Try not to have more than two colors in your hair. The key to the entire style is to augment your natural beauty subtly and to do so in a way that doesn't look like you are trying too hard. For French women, it's about working with what they naturally have, not changing who they are or their overall look. French women eat what they want, but they exercise portion control and are known for their slim physiques. They take great care of their hair and skin. French women grow bored by indoor workouts. They are not into the American workout regimen. You won't see many of them in the gym. Instead, drink a lot of water. A key to beautiful skin is to drink water all day long. Mineral water spray can also spruce up the skin. The hair, skin, and body are the base for the overall Parisian style. Take care of your skin using cleanser, gel cream, and cleansing milk suitable for your skin type, oily, combination, normal, dry etc.. Eat organic food with little sugar. This will keep weight in check, but it also is good for your skin. What you put into your body will dictate whether your hair shines and your skin glows, not what you slather on or into it. French women know that to make a statement, you need a signature scent. They are well aware of the power of smell and use it to create sex appeal. They will leave the house with a touch of perfume that they apply lightly, and they usually stick to a scent once they discover it. Dab perfume on the hair, behind the ear, on the back of your neck. Try to choose a scent that is not too overpowering and that you wear consistently. Chanel No. 5 is, of course, one of the most famous French perfumes. French women like perfume that is vanilla based or has a floral smell. They use it as a signature, and it helps form an identity. In Paris, less is more. French women aren't going to leave the house with too much bling. French men won't be seen with gaudy gold necklaces. Before you leave home, try to remove one accessory. Don't overload the look with too many pieces of jewelry, statement handbags, etc. Do try to have one accessory per outfit (belt, bracelet, etc.) French women keep their nails clean and sometimes wear polish. The French manicure is not really worn in Paris. Pedicures are important, though. French women will wear polish in neutral colors or even use clear gloss and won't be seen in neon. Instead, think of accessories from the standpoint of one great piece. Dramatic red lipstick might be your only needed accessory! It was fashion icon Coco Chanel who said you should remove one accessory before leaving the house. Great style in Paris is about how you put together the look and the quality of the clothes and fit. It's not about the name brand. Avoid the American temptation to flaunt labels on everything from handbags to blue jeans. That's considered tacky in Paris. That doesn't mean the French don't have some iconic brands. They do. Think Louis Vuitton. It's just that flaunting logos is not the key to Parisian style. Parisian style is about high quality clothing with great seams, classic lines and colors. It's about achieving a vibe and look.
Summary: Dress up. Keep your individuality. Get healthy. Use scent appropriately. Accessorize simply. Stop flashing logos.

Problem: Article: In simple terms: don't be perverse, rude, or vulgar. Any girl with an iota of self-respect won't tolerate that sort of behavior. Play the part of the polite gentleman if you want her to respond to you in a positive manner. Don't treat the girl like an object, curse at her when she doesn't respond the way you'd like her to respond, or turn the conversation to sex before any mutual attraction and romantic interest has been established. Being respectful encompasses more than just these three points, but minding these basic manners will at least be a good start. You can open the conversation with a joke to break the ice, but the wrong joke can start the conversation on an excruciatingly bad note. Humor doesn't always shine through when you're communicating digitally, so it's usually best to save it for when she gets a better understanding of your personality and sense of humor. If you do decide to open with a joke, stick with something safe. An obviously cheesy joke can work out well, and mildly self-deprecating humor might make her chuckle, too. Avoid off-color humor or jokes that can be easily misinterpreted, though. Opening a conversation by talking about your good points will only make you look egotistical. As the conversation progresses, the girl will likely ask you questions about yourself, and that's when you should start opening up about the details of your own life. On a similar note, don't talk and behave as though you're "God's gift to women." Even if you're the most charming guy alive, no woman is obligated to develop an interest in you. Try your best, but don't blame or insult the girl if it doesn't work out. Even if you're hoping to pursue some sort of relationship with this girl, you shouldn't start the conversation by asking her out. In fact, you should probably wait until you've gotten to know her over the course of several conversations before moving to that stage. As a general rule, you should wait until some mutual level of chemistry has been established. If and when you ask her out, do so as casually as possible. You don't even have to call it a "date"saying that you'd like to meet up and hang out in person is usually the best way to go. Don't ask her about other guys when you send her that first message. If you obsess too much about the other guys talking to her and appearing in her photos, you'll probably scare her off. Only ask her about the other guys in her life if you can do so naturally and as part of another topic. For instance, you could ask her about how she knows a mutual friend who happens to be male or ask her about the mixed group of friends she went to a concert with. The key here is to keep the conversation about her and her experiences while making the identity of the guy a secondary concern.
Summary:
Demonstrate respect. Use humor cautiously. Avoid bragging. Practice patience. Abandon any jealousy.
