When it comes to dating, everyone has their standards. Some of them are basic, but sometimes they are pretty much impossible to meet. As told by the women of Reddit, when it comes to their standards for men's daily grooming routines, the bar is very, very low.

Men, please do better. In an ideal world, women shouldn't have to consider a man who wipes his ass, showers regularly, and looks marginally better than the average sewer clown the gold standard of attractiveness.

Clean.

"Don't smell bad, cover everything that you're legally obligated to, and any part of your body that you want to use to touch mine* must be clean.


(*This is almost 100% limited to the hand, for purposes of high-fives, fist bumps, and handshakes.)" —Novaova

Wash.

"Wash your balls." —sleestax

Shower.

"Just have a goddamn shower." —nearly_Zilpah

Brush.

"Just take a shower and brush your teeth. That's it." —CountryGirlInHerFORD

Trim.

"Please, for the love of all that is holy, trim your toenails. This goes for all humans." —asunshinefix

Scrub.

"Face wash isn't just for women... scrub your face with a wash cloth and soap at least once a day." —TheVeganFoundYou

Pluck.

"Definitely make sure your eyebrows don't meet in the middle! There's nothing worse than an uni brow. But don't go to pluck crazy they still need to look manly. Just make sure there's a gap!" —puntasticcats

Please.

[post_ads]"Please, no filthy fingernails...that's really a deal-breaker, the only exception being if the man in question has a job that permanently stains the fingernails (example: mechanic)." —LordLeesa

PLEASE.

"As a rule, don't shave anything you won't stay on top of. Stubble is worse than hair in basically all ways, and it's probably less comfortable for you, too." —innovativesalad

COME ON.

"Please wear deodorant. Please." —your-pet-turtle



[post_ads]Let's start with the basics: showering. If you're not exactly sure which body wash to use when you step into the shower, Dove's Men+Care Extra Fresh Body and Face Wash works double-duty, cleansing – you guessed it – both your face and body for as little as $6.49.



Long nails are terrifying. This is an absolute fact. Leave the talons to Wolverine and keep your nails to a less alarming length with the help of Tweezerman's Stainless Steel Deluxe Nail Clipper Set. The fingernail and toenail clippers will run you $7.99, which is absolutely worth the price of not looking like Freddy Krueger.

And of course, deodorant. It's essential. You know this. AXE's Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick comes in a $7 two-pack, which means you can always pack a spare, whether you need it in your gym bag or prefer to stow it in your desk.
