Business Wire reports 89% of men think good grooming is essential to their professional success. I am not sure what to think about this. I mean think about this one a bit.....You go to a job interview and the interviewer says drop your pants, need to check if your well groomed down there.Tell the truth, how many of you predicted that breaking the glass ceiling with more women at the top would lead to this? If my company has a female CEO do I go in, ask for a raise, and then drop the pants to prove I got good grooming down there?

1. Facial hair is completely shaved off every day or at least trimmed to perfection.
2. The hair on top of their head is cut, styled, and groomed on a regular basis.
3. Their fingernails & toenails are trimmed on a regular basis.
4. The clothes they wear are elegant, ironed out, look clean, and smell good. Their clothes should also fit them well.
5. They shower and brush their teeth everyday. They apply deodorant every day and carry mint or chewing gum to freshen their breath. No body odor and no bad breath. Getting their teeth whitened and straightened out is also the way to go.
They're not referring to grooming below their belt LOL. It's not like they have to remove their pants and show their junk during a job interview.
However the five grooming points I mentioned above are very important for professional success. People will judge you wherever you go based on your grooming and personal hygiene. That's why I follow the five points above strictly every single day.
