Bathroom Etiquette For Men tall 1

Road trip!

You and the family are four hours in.

The thermos of coffee has taken its toll.

Now it’s time for a bathroom break.

You come to a rest stop and head toward the bathroom.

There are kids and teenagers all over the place.

Phone are blaring.

Kids are having a conversation and playing in the stalls.

It’s NUTS!

All you want to do is use the bathroom in peace.

You wonder if they know about rules for using public restrooms.

This article will give you 7 distinct guidelines that should be made into man law when using the bathroom.

1. Stall Staggering

Few things are more irritating when there are plenty of urinals or stalls available and a guy walks and sits/stand right next to you. It’s simple; keep some distance between me and you and this can be done by skipping latrines. Using the restroom is an intimate moment that’s for

  • Relief – You could have been holding it for a while or maybe you have a stomach ache
  • Privacy – guys are literally exposing themselves physically when standing at a urinal
  • Peace – some guys are on a date or meeting and need a time out

In the event that you are in a restroom that has one of those long that do not have the dividers, you want to make sure that you are about 12 – 18 inches away from the closest guy. You also want to turn your back to him so that there will be no false assumptions and accusations.

2 . Conversation Etiquette

To be frank, keep the conversations at a minimum. It’s actually my preference that you say nothing to the next guy while going.

This is not a time to be social and discuss politics or sports. If you must say something, do it at the sink. It’s less weird there. Generally speaking, people look at each other when they are talking. Do you want some dude staring at the side of your head or trying to make eye contact while you are taking a wiz?

When at the urinal you want to:

  • Keep your eyes front – once you glance down at you target, stare at the wall. You might make the guy uncomfortable if you keep looking down. He could mistake you for trying to take a peek.
  • Lean your head back and look up at the ceiling

Also, please don’t get involved in a conversation between a father and his son. This is a time when dad needs to give junior the house rules so that he will know how to conduct himself accordingly. It’s honestly kind of creepy.

3. Phone Etiquette

Yes, there should be rules when talking on the phone in the stall. As I stated previously, using the restroom is a private moment that can – in many cases – require a great deal of concentration. As such follow these simple rules to keep everyone who is in the can comfortable.

  1. Keep volume low – bathrooms echo so actually speak softer than a soft voice
  2. Don’t talk about the smell or sounds in the bathroom – it’s a public restroom full of men, odor is to be expected. Plus it’s rude and tacky to make crass statements.
  3. Use headphones – this will free your hands and minimize you dropping your phone on the bathroom floor
  4. Don’t use the speaker phone – no one wants to hear your full conversation
  5. No music – use your earbuds if you need some tunes to relax.

4. Where Do You Place Your Drink

If at all possible, do not take your drink into the restroom with you. Restrooms are a haven for germs. Leave your beverage at the table or with a trusted friend. Stuff happens and that’s not always possible, if you must take your drink with you

  • Use the shelf that’s above the urinal – this is commonly seen in places where it’s not always feasible to leave your drink out in the open such as airports and nightclubs/lounges
  • Place on the counter by the sink if you’re the only one in the restroom or if you’re in a single use bathroom
  • Set your drink on the toilet paper dispenser if you are in the stall. This way you can watch your drink.

Some guys are skilled enough to leave it in their hand. If that is not you, then don’t bother trying Also, NEVER place it on the floor or let your drink leave your sight. It seems like a no-brainer but it definitely happens.

5. Short Urinal Is for Kids

You’re an adult so use what men are supposed to use. The smaller urinal is designed so that the little gents can do their business without making a mess.

It’s lower so that he can aim better. If you see a shorter or lower urinal available but there is a boy behind you, give him the right of way. You don’t want him to have an accident.

6. The Stalls Are a Hidden Opportunity

During the game or at the theme park, the lines in the restroom can be abysmally long. Most times the wait is for the urinal. Though it doesn’t take long to take a leak, it can seem like an eternity when you really have to go.

Step out of line and check to see if a stall is available. In many instances there will be some that are empty and you can do your business there. Every guy in the line will appreciate that you are speeding things up.

There’s added privacy when you go to use a stall too. You don’t have to worry about that eerie feeling that the guy next to you is taking a peak or is going to start some weird conversation while you both are holding your johnson.

Guys, please make sure that your aim is good too. Clean up after yourself if you have a misfire. It’s totally irresponsible and immature to leave a pissy mess all over the seat. Situations like that can cause a real problem when the next guy has an emergency and has to take extra steps to go. None wants to clean up another man’s urine. Also, teach your sons and nephews to do the same.

7. Sinks Are Never an Option

I don’t care how drunk you are, don’t do it. It’s better if you go out back and pick a dark corner to relieve yourself. We wash our hands in there…our hands that touch our kids, food, face, etc.

If you are an adult male, the odds are that you are potty trained. You can wait it out. Look for a stall if you have to go that bad. There is a chance there will be one available.

Most men have no clue when it comes to mixing and matching colors.

If you err on the side of caution and avoid bringing any color into your wardrobe, you’ll look dull. Or, if you get it wrong and add too much color – or the wrong colors – you’ll look like a clown.

This article will help you understand how to match colors in men’s clothing.

You will learn how to:

  1. Focus On Neutral Colors
  2. Use Small Pops Of Brighter Colors
  3. Don’t Overthink Your Skin Tone

What Does Understanding (And Using) Color Do?

perfect men's dress shirt fit
  • Avoids blatant mistakes
  • Guides people’s eyes
  • It makes people subconsciously “feel” things (red enlivens, brown = trust, dark navy or gray = power)
  • It makes shopping MUCH more straightforward when you know what works best for you

But how does that translate into an actual outfit?

It’s not enough to know that red and green are complementary colors that go well together.

Even though the colors are good in combination, the wrong shades or the wrong amounts of each color will make you look like a Christmas decoration.

Menswear has to find a good balance between the dominant colors of the suits and shirts and the accent colors of things like neckties, pocket squares, and jewelry.

Combining colors tastefully is one of the hallmarks of the genuinely well-dressed man.
Although people have written dissertations on color-coordinating your wardrobe, the basics are pretty simple. All you have to remember are these 3 quick rules for combining colors in men’s clothing (courtesy of my friend Barron).

Trust me; it’s a lot easier than you might think.

For this article, I collaborated with Barron Cuadro from Effortless Gent, a men’s style blog that guides you towards building a lean wardrobe.

Do you ever look in your closet and think, “I have all this clothing, yet there’s nothing I want to wear”? If so, you’re in luck! Barron has helped many men like you take advantage of a flexible and interchangeable set of clothes for daily use. He makes it an effortless task regardless of your age, body type, or budget.

Whether you’re starting your wardrobe from scratch or just bringing in a few classic pieces to fill in the gaps, I highly recommend browsing Effortless Gent. You might also want to visit the EG online store for some stylish items that will upgrade your wardrobe even further.

Now for Barron’s 3 essential rules for how to match colors in men’s clothing.

How To Match Colors In Men’s Clothing Rule #1: Focus On Neutral Colors

Think of all the possible clothing color combinations like a pizza. You’ve got the base made up of bread and cheese and then an assortment of toppings that cater to different tastes.

Which would you say is more important: the base or the toppings? No-brainer! What kind of pizza has no crust? Similarly, a stylish outfit needs a good base of neutral colors like these:

  • Black
  • White
  • Gray
  • Navy, Light & Sky Blue
  • Brown & Khaki
  • Olive Green

These are the colors that go with most others. They set up the foundation for your outfits, making your job of finding matching clothes in your closet much more effortless.

That’s why they should constitute the majority of your wardrobe in terms of color percentages. With the right proportion of neutrals and non-neutrals, you can focus on the following rule (and have fun with it).

How To Match Colors Rule #2: Use Small Pops Of Brighter Colors

Use Small Pops Of Brighter Colors

This rule is where you do get to do a bit of experimentation. Just remember what happens to a pizza if you overload it with multiple veggies or meat types that don’t go well together. The same principle applies when it comes to color in your wardrobe.

The key, as always, is moderation. Stick with only small touches of 1-2 brighter colors to prevent them from clashing with or overpowering the rest of your outfit.

A yellow or pink pocket square, for example, will pair well with a charcoal sports jacket and all other neutrals you have on (white or light blue dress shirt, dark blue jeans, black belt, etc.). It will easily pop out with that combination. The same goes for a red necktie or gold buttons on a neutral-colored jacket.

Shoes are slightly trickier. While black is the only option in some cases, e.g., formal dress, shades of brown complement most of the neutrals above far better. So what’s your best bet here? In a nutshell, brown is the answer. For a more thorough explanation, check out this article on matching dress shoes with neutral-colored suits.

But what if you’re planning instead to wear a bright suit color for a friend’s wedding or another special event? A bit of trial-and-error is in order. Do a bit of research on your best options. Ask the groom’s opinion. Or the bride’s. And remember – there’s always Pinterest and Instagram to help you out!

How To Match Colors Rule #3 Don’t Overthink Your Skin Tone

instant clothing hack

When dressing up, men often wonder: “Does this color look good with my skin tone?” Ever asked yourself this? Don’t worry about this too much. It’s more a secondary issue and not a huge limiting factor in what colors you can wear.

Shouldn’t skin color matter here? Well, yes, to a certain extent. But it should only play a part in about 10% of your decision-making regarding your color choices for clothing, and only after you’ve considered the two rules mentioned above.

It does help to know the type and amount of contrast between your skin tone and hair color. But that info should only require minor adjustments to your style. Don’t let your skin completely overhaul whatever you’ve taken time to put together. Stick to the neutrals and pops of color mentioned above, and chances are you’ll look good regardless of your complexion.

Matching colors is essentially a personal skill. There are no official rights or wrongs. The rules listed in this post – and all other rules about color – are not strict. As much as it helps to follow them (especially if you’re beginning to upgrade your style), there are times when you have to follow your gut simply.

With some practice, you’ll eventually be able to tell whether your outfit works with a single glance in the mirror.

When it comes to understanding how to match colors in men’s clothing, remember this: If you like what you see and the outfit suits the occasion, go ahead with it! Forget about how much it defies conventions. Be confident – and it’ll show. And confidence always looks good.

How do you build a wardrobe?

Have you walked into a store and been overwhelmed at the options that are available?

Or maybe you look in your closet and you want to know if you have everything you need? How can you tell if your wardrobe is good?

In the spirit of maximizing time, let’s quickly go over a few looks you should know.

Specifically, there are 6 looks that every man should be able to master. You should shop with these looks in mind or if you do wardrobe assessment, with the goal of being able to create these dress codes with your existing clothes.

Let’s discuss the looks below!

RMRS Casual ebook

1. Semiformal / Business Attire

Suit Jacket Style Details Men Should Know

Professional attire is the look that gentlemen wear in very professional environments. It’s the uniform of lawyers, bankers, professors, Wall Street traders, and other business environments where decorum and professionalism are woven into the culture and fabric of the organization.

As such, the first step to mastering this look is to know your environment. Most businesses are explicit in saying that the dress code is professional attire so there is no second-guessing.

When a gentleman is dressed in professional attire, he’s communicating that he is about taking care of some serious business. His outfit says that his focus is sharp, that he’s intellectually capable, and he’s intent about the work that needs to be accomplished. There is a high level of respect that comes with this look.

Recommendations

  • Suit: Navy is considered the power color but gray and black are also strong business suits
  • White shirt: Plain white shirt is always a great option but you can spice it up with textured shirts or inconspicuous designs like window pane stripes or gingham print
  • Neckties: Blue, gray, black are standard business colors for ties. Don’t feel limited as there are varying shades of blue and grey and designs such as polka dots, stripes, and paisley are great ways to add more style.
  • Pocket Square: White, straight fold handkerchiefs adds a crisp and classic element to the overall look. Colored pocket squares can work depending on the environment.
  • Oxford shoes: Shoes should be the same color as your belt; brown or black. Again, shades of brown vary so there is still a lot of variety available.
  • Socks: Trouser socks that that matches the pant leg of the suit. It’s the safest bet to stay with solid socks.

2. Business Casual

If you are unsure how to dress for a job in a creative industry or wondering what to wear as a teacher then this may well be what you’re looking for.

Business casual is exactly what is implied in the name. It’s a casual look made for the professional environment. Just because this look is more comfortable, it’s still supposed to illustrate a high level of professionalism. A traditional business casual look is no suit jacket. It has now evolved to “no suit and no tie required.”

Business casual has been expanded to trousers and a nice button up or even slacks and a polo style shirt. Workplace environment is everything when it comes to professional attire so make sure that your version of business casual is in line with the culture of the office.

Business-Casual dress code

Recommendations

  • Moccasins – Wear with or without socks if the work culture supports it.
  • Loafers
  • Oxford shoes
  • Double Monk Straps
  • Colored buttoned down shirts are acceptable
  • Suits with no tie can be spiced up with a lapel pin and colorfully patterned pocket square.

The key to this look is no neckwear. The collar can be open or the top button can be buttoned up. Either way, there should not be a tie. Also the polo can be worn with the top button fastened as well. It’s personal preference.

If you’re not going to button up the top button, make sure you have magnetic collar stays in the collar of your shirt. This will keep the collar upright and keep the look sharp

3. Casual Attire

casual-dresing-man-in-his-20s

As a man of style, the days of the dad jeans and your favorite tee shirt is no longer allowed. Also, sporty doesn’t mean a jersey and gym shorts -although they definitely have their place. There is a way to be sporty and still be stylish. Think of it as weekend attire. It’s comfortable, fun, and flexible.

This look can be a pair of well-fitting raw denim jeans, a t-shirt, and some stylish sneakers. Another option would be a henley, khakis, and a pair of boots. It is the undefined look when you don’t really know what you are doing for the day but you want to be comfortably sharp.

Casual attire for men

Recommendations:

  • Chinos: Casual pants that can be dressed up with blazers
  • Polo shirts: These shirts were originally for athletes and are a stylishly comfortable option that can be paired with jeans, chinos, or shorts
  • Shorts: Jean shorts or chino shorts are acceptable.
  • Casual deck sneakers: These are sneakers that are not for competing. They are usually made of canvas material with a rubber sole.
  • Casual t-shirts: Solid colored or patterned t-shirts that can be dressed up with a blazer. They are versatile and comfortable. Do not confuse a casual t-shirt with a screened tee. An example of screened t-shirt is your favorite childhood marvel comic t-shirt.

Formal wear can be broken into three (3) different categories: Black Tie, Creative Black Tie, and White Tie. Most guys have no idea that there are three formal aesthetics, let alone the difference between them.

4. Ultra Casual

Admittedly, this type of look is the simplest to pull off. It’s for style and comfort. The Ultra casual look is a spring and summer go-to look as it’s for warm weather and functionality. That being said, there is still a way to stylishly pull it off.

Ultra-Casual dress code

Recommendations:

  • T-shirt: The type of t-shirt is totally depending on your preference. Whether it’s a crew neck or v-neck is not as important as the fit and quality of the shirt. Make sure that both are stellar
  • Shorts: Shorts should be funtional and worn above the knee. When shorts are worn below the knee it makes you look shorter (regardless of your height) and disproportionate.
  • Shoe: Sneakers or moccasin/loafer. Wear either shoe with no socks or “no show” socks if your feet sweat. Socks with these kind of shoes are an absolute no-no.
  • Accessories: Watches and bracelets are great additions to this look. They will stand out because of the outfit’s simplicity. Both classic and sporty watches will work well and leave a strong, fashionable statement.

Gents, grooming will play a big part in this look as well. There is a lot of skin showing so make sure that you are well lotioned. Shorts and ashy legs are not a good look.

5. Creative Black Tie

This can be considered the least formal aesthetic in the formal wear category. It’s a new school twist on traditional formal wear. It’s seen most often at Hollywood events such as red carpets and award shows.

The creative black tie look has a playful element that intelligently substitutes bold colors on subtle pieces for a bit of pizzazz.

Being that formal wear is a uniform of sorts, the creative black tie fun way for your formal attire to stand out in a crowd. This look is popular amongst millennials who typically defy the traditional conventions of menswear

Creative-Black-Tie dress code

Recommendations: The looks almost identical to traditional black tie with colored accessories such as:

  • Vest
  • Cummerbund
  • Bow tie

6. Black Tie Dress Code

Less formal than white tie, but more formal than creative black tie – it is reserved for social functions and evening events. It is less regulated than white tie dress so more latitude for variations is given for this aesthetic.

Black-Tie

Black Tie Recommendations:

  • A jacket with ribbed silk facings on a shawl collar or peaked lapel
  • Trousers with a single silk or satin braid covering the outer seams
  • A black cummerbund or a low-cut waistcoat
  • A white dress shirt, French cuffs and cufflinks, and a turn-down or detachable wing collar
  • A black ribbed silk bow tie matching the lapel facings
  • Optional shirt studs and cufflinks
  • Black dress socks
  • Black shoes—highly polished or patent leather Oxfords, or patent leather court shoes

7. White Tie Dress Code

White tie is the most formal style of dress and is usually reserved for high society events such as state dinners, formal balls and evening weddings. It is typically considered only appropriate after 6 p.m., but it has been extended to anytime after dark.

white-tie mens dress code

White Tie Recommendations

  • Black or midnight blue dress coat with silk facings, horizontally cut-away at the front
  • Trousers of matching fabric with one single wide stripe or two narrow stripes of satin or braid and are worn with suspenders
  • White plain stiff-fronted cotton shirt
  • White stiff wing collar, preferably detachable
  • White bow tie
  • White low-cut waistcoat matching the bow tie and shirt
  • Black silk socks or stockings
  • Black court shoes

Red Flags In Men That Turn Women Off

Published

on

Every man wants to be the perfect partner and avoid relationship red flags. But what many don’t realize is that being a good partner requires continuous effort, self-awareness, and the ability to read and act upon subtle cues.

Certain behaviors or ‘relationship red flags’ can easily turn women off, potentially sabotaging what could have been a lasting bond.

In this article, I’m going to dive deep into the essence of being a good partner by addressing those red flags.

Let’s get to it.

The Importance of Recognizing Relationship Red Flags

older man and younger woman having a date at restaurant

Before we delve into the specific behaviors that turn women off, let’s understand why it’s essential to be vigilant about relationship red flags.

I often emphasize understanding the ‘why’ behind fashion and grooming tips for men. In the same way, understanding the ‘why’ behind relationship dynamics can lead to a fulfilling partnership.

Ignoring or neglecting these red flags can lead to the gradual erosion of trust, intimacy, and connection in a relationship.

Top Relationship Red Flags Turning Women Off

Here’s the deal, gents: if you expect your partner to work hard on themselves and realize their flaws, then it’s vital that you do the same.

Understanding the relationship red flags you should be avoiding is the first step you can take to make sure that you’re being the best partner you can be. Sort out any imperfections early, and chances are you’ll avoid bigger issues later down the line.

Poor Communication Skills

Poor communication skills

Just as a well-tailored suit speaks volumes about a man’s style, effective communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship.

Women value men who can listen actively, show empathy, and articulate their feelings. If you’re the type who bottles up emotions or dismisses your partner’s feelings, you might be waving a big relationship red flag.

Inconsistency in Actions and Words

Woman and man arguing

A crucial aspect of being genuine is aligning your words with your actions. I often talk about the importance of authenticity in men’s style … similarly, in relationships, inconsistency can be a significant turn-off. If you promise something, ensure you deliver. Women value reliability and predictability in a partner.

Not Valuing Her Time and Boundaries

boundaries for men and women

Time is a precious commodity. Not valuing your partner’s time or overstepping boundaries can be seen as a major relationship red flag.

This could manifest as being frequently late, canceling plans last minute, or not respecting her personal space and boundaries.

Being Overly Jealous or Possessive

Shes Always Speaking To Her Ex Being Overly Jealous or Possessive

While a slight hint of jealousy might be natural, being overly possessive or controlling can be stifling for your partner. Trust is the foundation of any relationship, and showing unnecessary jealousy can signal a lack of trust.

How To Spot Relationship Red Flags In Yourself

Recognizing your own flaws can be a daunting task. However, self-awareness is the first step towards personal growth and relationship improvement.

Let’s draw a parallel with style again: before purchasing a new outfit, a stylish man must first recognize what doesn’t work in his current wardrobe. The same applies to behaviors in relationships.

Here’s how you can spot those relationship red flags in yourself:

Reflect on Past Relationships

Couple reflecting on relationships

Think about your past relationships and try to identify common patterns or complaints. Did more than one partner mention that you’re not a good listener? Or perhaps they felt you were distant?

These patterns can provide valuable insights into your behavior.

Seek Feedback

Sometimes, the most honest feedback comes from those around us. Trusted friends or family members can provide an external perspective on your relationship dynamics.

Don’t shy away from asking them about behaviors they might have noticed, and be open to their feedback.

Personal Therapy or Counseling

Professional counselors or therapists are trained to help individuals recognize patterns in their behavior that might be causing harm. If you’re committed to self-improvement, consider seeking guidance from a professional.

Keep a Relationship Journal

8 Reasons Every Man Needs A Journal

We all know the importance of documentation in refining style, whether it’s photographs or notes.

Similarly, maintaining a relationship journal where you document feelings, reactions, and events can help you identify problematic patterns over time.

Practice Mindfulness and Meditation

Mindfulness practices, like meditation, allow you to become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment.

This heightened self-awareness can help you spot when you’re exhibiting behaviors that might be relationship red flags.

Regularly Check-in With Your Partner

talking to woman

Open communication is vital. Schedule regular check-ins with your partner to discuss how things are going.

This provides a safe space for both of you to express any concerns or observations about each other’s behavior. It also offers an opportunity to nip any potential problems in the bud.

How to Be A Good Partner

Recognizing relationship red flags is only half the battle. The next step is understanding how to navigate these issues and be the best partner you can be.

Learn About And Practice ‘Active Listening’

I often mention the importance of details in a man’s ensemble. Similarly, in relationships, the details matter. Paying attention to the little things, truly hearing what she’s saying, and showing empathy can make a world of difference.

Be Authentic and Genuine

Remember the golden rule of style: authenticity trumps all. Be genuine in your affections, your promises, and your actions. Genuine behavior fosters trust and builds a solid foundation.

Practice Patience and Understanding

Every relationship has its ups and downs. In moments of disagreement, instead of getting defensive, approach the situation with patience and a desire to understand your partner’s perspective.

Educate Yourself on Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our emotions while recognizing, understanding, and influencing the emotions of others. By investing in developing your EI, you’ll be better equipped to navigate the intricate dance of relationship dynamics.

Just as a man builds a wardrobe that reflects his style, essence, and personality, building a relationship free from red flags requires time, effort, and dedication. By being aware of the behaviors that turn women off and actively working to address them, you can cultivate a relationship that’s both rewarding and enduring.

It’s important to remember that nobody is perfect. What matters most is the willingness to recognize mistakes, learn from them, and make continuous efforts to be a better partner. In the end, just like in style, it’s the effort and authenticity that count the most.

Men’s Relationship Red Flags

Why is it important to be aware of relationship red flags?

Awareness of relationship red flags is crucial as it allows individuals to identify and address unhealthy behaviors early on, preventing potential harm and fostering a nurturing and respectful relationship environment.

How can poor communication be a relationship red flag?

Poor communication can lead to misunderstandings, unmet needs, and a lack of emotional connection, which can ultimately deteriorate the relationship’s foundation.

Can relationship red flags be rectified, and how?

Yes, relationship red flags can often be rectified through open communication, mutual understanding, compromise, and consistent effort in behavioral change.

Is inconsistency really a major turn-off in relationships?

Yes, inconsistency in words and actions can cause distrust and insecurity, making it a major turn-off as it destabilizes the foundation of reliability and predictability in a relationship.

How can one avoid being overly jealous or possessive?

Avoiding excessive jealousy or possessiveness involves building trust, maintaining open communication, fostering mutual respect, and working on one’s self-esteem and insecurities.

How does active listening contribute to being a good partner?

Active listening contributes to understanding your partner’s thoughts, feelings, and needs more accurately, fostering empathy, reducing misunderstandings, and strengthening emotional connections.

Why is it necessary to be genuine and authentic in relationships?

Authenticity is crucial as it builds trust and intimacy. Being genuine allows both partners to feel safe to be themselves, fostering a deeper and more meaningful connection.

How does reflecting on past relationships help in spotting red flags in oneself?

Reflecting on past relationships can reveal patterns and behaviors that may have contributed to relationship issues, providing insights that can guide personal growth and development in future relationships.
