The Handsome Factor E-Book T H E H A N D S O M E F A C T O R “Research shows that attractive people have more success in every aspect of life – career, friendships, money, and love.” - 1 - T H E H A N D S O M E F A C T O R Success Stories "This book has been extremely helpful ... Most importantly, I'd say the program gave me confidence. I knew that I didn't look like a complete nerd anymore, and that helped me become way more social and outgoing.” - Randy Michaels, New Jersey "What an eye opener!! ... Right after I read your book I threw out more than half of my clothes, shaved off my nasty beard, and fixed my hair... getting compliments left and right now... THANK YOU!!!" - Roy Robson, UK “thanks to your book things are starting to get better in every aspect in my life.” - Nader Essam, India - 2 - T H E H A N D S O M E F A C T O R "Hey Mark ... I really liked your book. I bought it but did not know what to expect at all, but when I downloaded it I was very happy. It is easy to read (even for me when I don't speak English well).” - Lars Jorgensen, Norway "There's really no two ways around it... your book is something that every man should own. I've learned a lot of great stuff from it, and I truly think it's had an impact on my life. After I read the book, I noticed that girls actually care about things like hygeine and fashion. Who knew? Thanks again!” - Benjamin Roberts, Oklahoma "...This book practically doubled my self-confidence overnight...” - Jason Lewis, Florida - 3 - T H E H A N D S O M E F A C T O R How To Read This Book... Like any book, The Handsome Factor is divided into a number of chapters. Each chapter is further divided into sections. You can click on the chapter or section titles in the Table of Contents to jump directly to a particular section. As a general rule, the first few chapters contain more basic information. You may already know most of the things taught in these early chapters, but even so, I strongly advise encourage you to read the entire book. Each section has been designed to cover every possible topic, and chances are you’ll learn a few useful tidbits in every chapter. In the second half of the book, more advanced topics are covered. For many readers, the final two chapters (hairstyle and fashion) will be the most useful. If you’re in a hurry, you may want to skip straight to the chapters that interest you the most (use the Table of Contents to skip to each section). - 4 - T H E H A N D S O M E F A C T O R Table of Contents How To Read This Book... ................................................................................. 4 Terms & Conditions ....................................................................................... 11 Acknowledgements ....................................................................................... 13 Chapter One | .................................................................................................. 14 My Epiphany .................................................................................................. 14 The Science Behind Physical Appearance ....................................................... 17 Chapter Two | Hygiene ................................................................................... 20 Oral Hygiene .................................................................................................. 21 Tooth Brushing ..................................................................................................... 22 Flossing ................................................................................................................. 24 Rubber “Gum Stimulator” ..................................................................................... 26 Waterpik ............................................................................................................... 28 Tongue Cleaning ................................................................................................... 29 Mouthwash ........................................................................................................... 31 Bedtime Routine ................................................................................................... 32 Chewing Gum ....................................................................................................... 34 General Hygiene ............................................................................................ 35 Showering & Bathing ............................................................................................ 35 -
