10 Mistakes Older Guys Make Trying To Look Young
[0:00:00] Mistake number one that older guys make trying
to look young is just that, they’re trying to look young instead of embracing their age.
Here’s the deal is that you don’t want to look young, what you want to look is healthy,
you want to look strong, you want to look successful.
So, there is a 2018 study published in the Journal of Science Advances, and they actually
studied online dating ideal ages. For men, what you do you think the ideal age was? 20?
30? 40? No. It was 50 years old. So, my point is, it’s not about you looking
young, it’s about you looking good for your age, you looking the best that you can with
what you got. In today’s video, gents, ten mistakes older
guys make trying to look young. [Music]
And, make sure to stick around ‘til the end of this video because I’m going to talk
about that study again where they talk about peak attractiveness age for women. Guys, it
was brutal. So, the next mistake older guys make trying
to look young is they can’t let go of their baseball caps. Guys, look to upgrade your
headwear. If you’re going to support your favorite team, of course, wear your team colors,
but guys, look for situations where you can upgrade your headwear.
If it’s hot outside, the sun is going to be in your face, then look for a hat, maybe
a Panama, something with a wide brim. If it’s in the winter months, then all of a sudden
bring in maybe an insulated flat cap that’s going to have, you know, this one right here
turns out and covers the ears. Look for something that functions, look to upgrade your headwear
game. Now, I know a lot of you guys are wearing
that baseball caps, you don’t want to deal with your hair. That takes me to the next
point which is to level up your hair game by going to the best stylist in your area.
Maybe even going to the same barber for years, maybe you haven’t been to a barber for years.
In any case, guys, take some pride in your hair, have fun go get a new style. You’ve
got longer hair, try a shorter hairstyle. If you’re losing hair if you’ve got thinning
hair here, consider shaving it off going for a different more dominant look. You don’t
want to go with the bald look? Then look at your options. Maybe you want to find a treatment
that’s going to help it grow back. Maybe you want to look at a hair transplant. The
point is take control of your hair. So, the next mistake older guys make trying
to look young, they try to keep up with those twenty year olds. They’re going out drinking
all night partying all night and guess what? Guys, time is going to catch up with you,
your body needs more rest, you’ve got to take care of your body.

to look young is they wear their running shoes everywhere. Guys, invest in some good casual
footwear. So, you can go with a simple white sneaker. Notice the difference here? This
is a huge upgrade. Okay, you don’t want to deal with this getting dirty? Then, go
with a simple black maybe bring in something a little bit more stylish.
Notice how the silhouette all of a sudden changed on this? We’ve got a perforated
leather. In any case, tons of options out there for casual shoes, just don’t be wearing
those running shoes, guys, they’re for running. And, if you’re going to be running, sure,
wear them, but for other situations look to upgrade your shoes.
So, the next mistake older guys make, wearing the wrong type of jeans. So, when you’re
in your 20’s, you’re in great shape, you can get away with a lot of things, you can
wear things that honestly don’t look that great, but because you’ve got a killer body,
you’re going to be fine, but as you age, your body oftentimes, well, it’s just not
like it was in its 20’s, so you need to make sure that you’re wearing jeans that
work for your body type. Now, for most older guys this is going to
mean no skinny jeans and definitely no baggy jeans. Now, when it comes to rhinestones on
those back pockets, I’m going to say probably avoid that. When it comes down to baggy jeans
that are sagging down past your buttocks, please do not do that. When it comes to distressed
jeans, I think some guys can pull it off if they know what they’re doing, but that’s
more for the fashion forward. [0:05:00]
So, I’m going to have a little bit of fun with this next mistake. When I was 19, I wore
this graphic tee, it said, “Men make the strangest request”. To this day a buddy
of mine his wife still remembers me wearing this and she did not have a favorable impression
on me for a decade. The point is if you’re an older guy trying
to look young wearing these graphic tees with funny sayings, the issue here is what is your
real goal and message in life. Are you trying to achieve greatness, are you trying to get
that company off the ground? Are you trying to go out there and be the best man you can
be to be a great father to set an example? Here is the issue, when you wear something
like that, you are not sending the message you want to send. And, guys, graphic tees
in general have been overplayed, they don’t work for most body types. You would look so
much better with a nice casual button-down. And, speaking of shirts, know when to tuck
them in. When you’re young you can kind of get away with it, but, again, when you
get older there’s expectations that you understand when are shirts should tucked in
and when it should be worn untucked. Dress shirts are always tucked in. When it comes
down to other casual button-downs, I know that a lot of times you’ve worn that untucked,
but look to see how would it look if you tuck in that casual button-down.
Now, with polos those are oftentimes going to have a straight bottom, but you want to
make sure you buy a shirt that’s made to be worn untucked that isn’t too long or
too short. The easiest way to figure this out, I’ve got you covered right here. I’ve
got lengths of what should be tucked, what should be untucked.
Now, getting back to that first mistake, your goal isn’t to look young, your goal is to
look healthy, your goal is to look successful. But, what does it mean to look successful?
Now, when you go back and you look at the research from that 2018 study on online dating,
what you’ll notice is that men, we focused in on one thing, age; women, they focused
in on multiple variables. So, men, we focus in on getting a partner
that’s younger than us. The optimum age in case you’re wondering, 18. Yes, I know
brutal, but that’s what the research clearly showed. Women on the other hand, they’re
looking at a number of other cues. They’re smarter, they realized, okay, if I want a
mate that’s actually going to work for me and what I’m looking for, I need to look
at the whole picture. So, looking at all of this, the biggest mistake
that older guys make is they’re still thinking like they did in their youth. They’re focusing
in on one thing. Instead of saying you know what? It’s a bigger puzzle, it’s multiple
things and I should not only focus in on my health, on my appearance, but also on the
way I present myself and full picture. So, what video to watch next? Well, guys,
we didn’t talk about body language mistakes, but I do in this video, so go check it out
and make sure that you don’t make any of these mistakes.
