Flirting Tips for Guys
Flirting comes naturally to some guys but there are men who need some help on this department. The art of flirting is a consummate and necessary art in the mating dance between guys and girls. If you are a rather shy guy that finds flirting a bit daunting then these flirting tips for guys could be a big help for you, whether you’re interested in a girl you just met or somebody you’ve known for a long time but never had the guts to make a move on her.
Flirting is the subtle way of communicating your interest in a girl without being too brash and straightforward about it. It is an opening salvo that will give you an indication whether she reciprocates your interest or not. During the flirting stage, if you feel she is receptive to your advances then you can decide whether you want to proceed to the next stage of the courting game or not. But if at this early flirting stage, you already feel non-responsiveness, at least you are spared opening yourself up to embarrassment and heartache.
So what would be the first flirting tip for guys? Practice a very confident and sexy cheeky smile. While talking to a girl that you like, whether she’s a girl you just met or a girl you’ve known for a long time. A cheeky smile is a mixture of confidence and mischief with a hint of sexual interest. When you direct this smile to a girl several times during the conversation you are implicitly communicating a sexual interest that is very flattering to a girl. It is also a smile that, though has some sexual nuance, is not really that explicit so a girl who wants explicit answers will have to flirt back to find out what the smile is all about. Flirting back is a clear indication that she likes you too.

Mens Formal Fashion in the 60s, An Inspiration
The 60s is one of the greatest eras in the history of male fashion. The precise tailoring and Chelsea boots or Winklepickers of the London Modernists, otherwise known as the Mods, transformed the conservative suit into a fitted, tailored and sleek item that has a neat and straight cut. The 60s had a lot to offer male fashion particularly for men’s formal wear, and a great era to draw inspiration from.
Formal wear in the 60s exudes style and self-confidence. During that era there was an extensive selection of styles to choose from for men who wanted to present their unique sartorial style. Checks and stripes were exceedingly popular as formal suiting pattern during the 60s, a preference that is gaining a strong revival in 2011.
This penchant for fashions of the past is not limited to suits or formal men’s wear. Through the years, men’s clothing items of the past such as chinos, brogues, bow tie, narrow lapels, vests, pocket squares and more, have been integrated in men’s wear of the modern times. The need to shine and stand out as unique and different by adding in items that most men won’t dare to wear is a motivation for this resurgence of what is now called the “vintage look”. This is also proof that fashion is nothing more than a never ending cycle, only given a modern twist.
The renaissance of the formal or tailored suit of the 60s can also be attributed to pop culture. The likes of Michael Douglas playing Gordon Gekko in the movie “Wall Street” as well as the more current male idols such as John Slattery playing Roger Sterling, Jr. and John Hamm as Don Draper, both characters of one of television’s most popular show “Mad Men” are men’s model for a formal or tailored suit style ala men’s formal fashion of the 60s.
