Ask them. While the answers may be obvious when you think about it, it is easy to let things slide. Old habits die hard. Constant attention to detail is required. Some things single women just hate include:

• Halitosis - Usually brushing and flossing regularly should keep this under control. However, raw onions, garlic or other strong foods can cause bad breath. Sometimes you are not aware that you have it as it can be difficult to detect in yourself. Always keep strong breath mints handy and use them frequently.
• Unclean teeth (food particles) - No excuse here as you can easily check the mirror in the men's room.
• Body odor - Regular showers and an effective deodorant/antiperspirant should do the job.
• Greasy, dirty hair - It should be washed every day. This is something we sometimes skip and it shows.
• Dirty fingernails - Get those clippers out once a week. Scrub with a brush if required.
• Needing a shave - Wait until the last minute before you shave. Experiment with different brands and methods until your face feels like a baby's behind.
• Messy, unkempt appearance - Your clothing must be perfectly pressed. Check every detail very carefully in a full-length mirror before you walk out the door. It is critical.
• Dirty clothing - Come on. Trying to sneak by wearing a shirt with a stain will get you nowhere fast.

It may seem as though we are overstating this. Trust us. These turn-offs mean a lot more to single women than they do to us. Be meticulous in your attention to detail. You will be rewarded. By the way, can we introduce you to a nice single girl with stringy hair, bad breath, BO, hairy legs, spinach in her teeth, wearing a wrinkled skirt with a stain? She has a great personality and a sense of humor. Any takers?
