first impressions matter, so I always try to look presentable and that I can afford to punt
Dont be thinking I wore this jeans to the pub twice, but she'll never notice. she will. women notice these things, have a keen sense of smell and shes thinking negatively about you before you took any of your clothes off. clean is a must - as on all clothes fresh on.
I dont wear aftershave. But Im sure ladies arent huge fans of whiffy punters for the same reason we dont appreciate it if theyre wearing strong perfume, the smell lingers. they dont want a male scent on them or their bedsheets.
Im generally a 30 min punter. Un-dressing and dressing are part of your 30 min, so there are some practicalities. I never wear lace up boots. Or shirts too much faff. theres never anywhere to hang your clothes and your going to chuck it somewhere, so casual is best.
as ai get older my hands and feet get cold and take a while to warm back up. I had the start of a punt ruined once cos the girl complained my hands were too cold and didnt like me touching her. so if its a chilly day (I live in aberdeen) gloves to make sure hands are warm to touch.
