Don’t just walk—SWAG!!

“Lil Wayne is ugly but something ‘bout his swag makes him attractive.” How many times have you heard that about a rapper or R&B singer? From A to Z, ugly dudes have been utilizing what is known as ‘swagger’ to boost their sex appeal. For those who don’t have it; it is essential if you wanna be able to pull off red jeans at an award show like Kanye.

In years past, we just called it confidence. Your walk, stance, and speech are all ways to let females and other males know that you are the shit without saying it. This confidence is also needed to look good in your clothes and to pull off almost any outfit. Here are two examples: (1) Have you ever seen a guy who has on all the latest brands but none of it fits him? He makes True Religion look like Route 66 and Ed Hardy like a Wal Mart knock off. In short, the clothes are wearing him when he should be wearing the clothes. (2) Alternatively, there are people who can wear anything and look great in it. Let’s look at a time when style (in my humble opinion) was random…the 80’s. The Retro Kids group have single-handedly brought back Gumbies, Cross Colors, and Dookie chains with their swag. They completely immersed themselves into the era by adopting the speech, dance, and slang of yesteryear. It takes confidence and swag like no other to have a whole country jocking your steeze. Especially when it was already done 20 years ago.

Here are a few things to do to build up your swag…

1. Look ‘em in the eye: If an attractive woman is walking towards you, look her in the eye and wait for her to break eye contact. This lets her know that you aren’t afraid to approach her. If she’s not interested then she will pretend that there is a grossly intriguing brick on the wall.

2. Smile: I know that smiling isn’t “gangsta” but it’ll make you and the other person feel better.

3. Stand tall and look ahead: Just like the military...shoulders back and chest out. Slumping makes you look goofy, weak, and cumbersome. Standing straight gives the impression that you are in control of your surroundings and know what you are doing even if you really don’t.

4. Sip the syrup: Slow down your walk, rate of speech, and general movements. Fast gestures and fetidness makes you look nervous.

There are a plethora of books that describe this in greater detail. Go peep a few because I am not spoon feeding a grown man. With practice you can be like ‘Ye West and say, “With my ego; I could stand there in a Speedo and be looked at like a fucking hero.”
