Default Re: OK. Time to make myself more desirable to wife

Start carrying a pack of Orbitz or other minty gum. There are some treatable conditions that cause bad breath that you could see your dentist about.

Grab some AXE body spray. I don't know what brand of deodorant you use, but you might try something else. Maybe one of the those targeted toward athletes that are supposed to be stronger.

Find a cologne that she likes. Women seem to rave over the Abercrombie cologne. I've also had good luck with Black (Kenneth Cole), Euphoria (Calvin Klein) and Sexy for men (Victoria Secret). I've been told by many woman that they sometimes "notice" a guy they otherwise wouldn't simply because he smells sexy.

It never hurts to update the wardrobe from time to time. You don't have to go crazy and look like you walked out of GQ, but being a little more trendy often helps. Plus, if you are like me, you feel better when you feel you look better. Confidence is rarely a bad thing when it comes to being attractive.

I don't know that going gray is a big deal to many women. If it is an issue for your wife, then address it. If not, then don't. But you may want to think about a new hair style. Go to a salon and talk to the hair stylist about what she thinks might be a good choice.

Try and figure out what your wife finds attractive. Are her tastes more contemporary? Conservative? One thing I would warn you against is making changes that you aren't comfortable with. If you are self conscious you won't be sexy and attractive. You may need to make these changes slowly so you are comfortable and confident in your appearance. Also, try and look sharp around the house too. You don't have to be all fixed up all the time. But stained T-shirts and baggy sweat pants (while comfortable) aren't attractive to most women.

Just a few recommendations. Best of luck to you.
