He asked me out, we were in the talking stage Sha. Wanted to take things slowly. Suddenly, we had a minor issue and since then all man dey im own. Maybe na pride between the two of us, can't really tell. But we don't talk anymore. Still, I do admire his personality.

So what does the well-groomed man look like?

A well-groomed Man is the man that carries himself with dignity. He should be able to keep basic hygiene like do his nails, wear ironed clothes, cut his hair, dress sensibly and according to occasion He should be able to at least buy deodorant to smell good.

I don't necessarily judge people by how they look, I have met awesomely dressed guys with the best of suits and they have got the most terrible attitude. You should have a sense of character; your charisma should speak. But then a well-groomed man should ultimately be neat. Most guys believe they can wear a singlet or undies for fifteen months without changing it and it is terrible. Essentially, look good and don't look like yesterday.

Looks alone can be a misleading criterion to use in identifying a well-groomed Man. Like they say, looks can be deceiving. A well-groomed Man can be identified by his actions and selfless service to those he loves and cherishes.
Willing to take responsibilities, not full of pride and ready to accept changes in life. Character is part of grooming.
OGAGA AYANWUNMI MICHAEL – A Blogeger and IT Professional

A well-groomed man should be focused, organized, neat, presentable, good mannered and well cultured. Dress well not necessarily expensive (knowing what to wear & when). Clean nails & avoid unnecessary long nails. Take care of your hair. Keep it nice, trimmed and tidy. Smell nice always (Mouth or Body odour is a capital NO). Clean inner wears are a must.

Grooming is not just about things like keeping a well trimmed facial hair. It’s a part of it, a well-groomed man is someone with neat, tidy and pleasing appearance. A pleasing appearance has a way of boosting confidence. I grew up understanding that your appearance affects your thought process. Being well groomed leads to a bolstered sense of self-esteem which affects how others sees you.
If you feel unkempt, this will impact negatively on how people perceive you. How you carry yourself in the right posture also says a lot.

JOSEPH OHIKU – Multi-media Professional based in Lagos. @joeywizzy

My view in terms of the appearance of a well-groomed man, is that it’s all about three major ingredients: simplicity, comfort and confidence. I tie ‘simplicity’ to the physical aspects of grooming; ‘comfort’ to the clothing aspects of grooming; and ‘confidence’ to the activity aspects of grooming. In terms of clothing-grooming, ‘comfort’ is key. In terms of activity-grooming, ‘confidence’ is key because regardless of how simple and comfortable he looks, it is the manner in which he carries himself when talking or doing something that matters.

Good personal grooming communicates that you care about yourself and you have healthy self-esteem. The well-groomed man should smell good: When you smell good, people notice. It influences how they feel about you. It makes them want to get closer to you. Look after your smile: Keep your teeth neat and your breath fresh. Take care of your facial hair. Have beautiful hands and feet: Clip your nails weekly. Avoid heel cracks. Exercise every day or every other day, it keeps you fit and healthy looking. With these you can get out there looking well-groomed and handsome.

A well-groomed man, should look appropriately dressed as per occasion demands, knowing when to wear what. Where to where what. He grooms himself by taking care of his physical, mental, and spiritual life.

Over the years a man’s grooming routine has evolved and it is no longer just a simple shower. There is now beard care, skin care, picking the right deodorant, shaving, manicure and pedicure for men etc. For a typical man, self-grooming is usually the most affected when making a trip. Why? Because it’s a multi-faceted process that involves various actions, tools, and products. That is why it’s very likely that you’ll forget to do or carry something. So, before you leave on that trip, check your grooming essentials. You don’t want to go to foreign lands looking funny.

I get it. On the off chance you both get an opportunity to get back together, would you take it head-on this time or go the "slowly" way?

My ex is a definition of a well groomed man. Yes, he's an ex now but I can't stop talking about him because he made a great impression on me and I still make boast to say it any where. He was well groomed.

From his nails, his goaty( lower beard) to his teeth, very neat. His dentition is so amazingly arranged, sparkling white and shiney. ( I got same too) not all these cave man multicolor teeth I see around these days that look like they're coming to get you. Lol.

His clothes are always crisp and clean. His apartment and sorrounding, you would think it's a five star hotel suit. No masculine smell or odour anywhere around him or his apartment. Maybe because he's not hairy.

Abeg, he's neat.

Men should take their hygiene seriously because that masculine smell/odour is a huge turn off and it's common among hairy guys. Maybe that's why I'm no longer thrilled about having a relationship any longer.

Same goes for the women too.

None. I would want us to be very good friends first. Let's start from there. If it works out, fine but I strongly doubt that.

TundeSeun:
I found your objectivity commendable!

Given the emotional baggages that usually accompany breaks in relationships at any level, it is understandable that a number of persons are wondering how you were able to speak so glowingly of your ex or if you are over him. The expectation is that you will dismiss him altogether as not being good at all!

But then, I think it is a virtue all should cultivate. Not being on good terms with an individual or entity does not mean you should suddenly become blind to their good attributes such that you are unable to acknowledge same!

Ability to rise beyond sentiments (negative most of the times) to set records straight is not for the feeble minded!

emmyN:
Fair enough. Don't mind my many questions though, I just needed a female perspective at this point in time. But what I don't understand is how you intend to keep a guy that comes asking for a relationship as "friends", then you get to decide later if you fully want in. So what if three, four guys come asking around the same time, do you keep them all as "friends"? Wouldn't that be too much on your plate?

Well for me, at this point in my life, if I would want to be in a relationship, it would be something really serious not some fun-seeking adventure. But I m really not ready for any now.
The guy in question I talked about, has a lot of females crawling around him and could easily get any girl he wants due to his personality. I want to learn a lot from him, so I 've swallowed my pride and reached out to him. I would want us to be very good friends excluding any romance involved.
Even if the guys are as much as 10, if we can't build a good friendship together, then I can't date the said person. I can't just jump into a relationship just laidat na
