[Music]
they should smell good at least wear
some nice coloon dress well clean your
ears every week you should cut your
nails stay fit or try to stay fit by
exercising or playing a sport mind is
the body and the body is the Mind hands
expectation okay before we begin the
show I want to ask you one very
important question are you ready to cook
[Laughter]
sh yes yeah okay all right
so okay so our first story comes from I
think it's a female okay but I don't
know who this is or the age she says a
lot of Sri Lankans in general don't care
about grooming dressing well and the
general physical appearance okay I don't
think it's even related
to money okay even people from places
like the
Philippines or Latin America tend to be
more conscious about their grooming okay
whereas other than some trendy
youngsters and a small group of the
Columbo crowd majority of Sri Lankans
just don't care even if they make good
money not saying this is a bad thing
but it's good to care more about how you
look
and just general grooming
what do you think it about men I don't
know she's not specified whether it's
men or women or what but she's just
saying in general people in Sri Lanka
don't think much about the physical
appearance or grooming what do you
think at least for men at minimum they
need to do a few things for grooming and
physical appearance right which is which
I don't see I don't see it in most Sri
Lankan men but I I could be wrong but
the men that I engage with in on a daily
basis they
don't at
least at least twice a week face trim
right they
should they should smell good at least
wear some nice cologne or some something
before you come to work or during work
and when you leave
work they
should dress well and fashion at least
learn the
basics for example just wearing black
itself looks good they got a
I think from a personal hygiene at least
you should clean your ears at least
every week you should cut your nails
every
week you should
[Laughter]
[Laughter]
I won't give so much detail
into Men's Grooming cuz I mean you you
know it better but U one more thing
before you tell about the women's part I
think part of that grooming and looking
good is
also physical fitness they should at
least at minimum just
stay fit or try to stay fit by
exercising or playing a sport because
that helps your physical appearance as
well
because
the mind is the body and the body is the
mind okay
well so tell me about women's what what
do you think well you just don't have to
know about any women you just need to
know about me but oh yeah yeah but I
think yes it's it's very important for
girls
too in my
opinion I mean I
think like I've seen
like know they go on their solo dat and
then they do all of these stuff so I
think a ma majority of girls uh are into
it they care about themselves they put
themselves first physical appearance I
mean uh I mean
obviously not with the I'm not talking
about the looks or anything but I'm
talking about how you dress how you
present yourself
because that represents your personality
in front of another person and how you
bring yourself out there so
the way you dress I mean again it
depends on the person
and but I
think what matters
is because style wise girls can wear
whatever the way they like it's just
their own opinion about it and they all
their judgment about it but I I think
what matters is like you
know you
can't they try to wear a certain outfit
which does which goes to which matches
so well to go to a club or like you know
for a party but also wear it like you
know just to go to a uh to a mall or
just you know to a park or something and
it doesn't look good also I mean this is
just an example but obviously you know
what I mean uh but other than that so
you're saying based on the place you
have to wear appropriate with
appropriate I mean okay you can go for
an interview with a short skirt but as
long as you're wearing a Blazer you look
professional right you don't have just
because you're going for an interview
doesn't mean that you have to add a pant
and a blazer on it that's fine like
that's just your opinion about how you
want to style it but what I'm trying to
say is you can't be wearing a sht and a
crop top on top of it to go to an
interview get what I'm saying that's
that's a certain outfit that you could
wear some somewhere else that doesn't
work with the work for an interview so I
think that's that's what's I don't know
that's what I've seen lacking lacking in
girls and women in Sri
Lanka but again like it's just just an
example and in my opinion what I have
seen but also um other than that the
style or whatever they want to dress is
up to them and yeah up to them that is
only dress P thing what about grooming P
thing for
example body odor
and maybe it's maybe it's acne maybe
it's could be your hair it could be the
what do you call it body ha facial hair
there's so many things to grooming right
so what do you think about that because
I think this this lady on the story is
talking more about grooming and yes
about dressing also for men of course
for example
B bad smell K because it's hot so and
especially these days heat is too much
in sh Lanka
so to counter that you can always wear
some colon or or carry a what do you
call it deodorant with you or something
like that to smell better I I think it's
the same with the women too like it it
also depends right because okay like
some people have like to be hurry but
some people doesn't so again it depends
on their preference but you just have to
first witht yourself in another person's
shoes
and and you have to feel okay what if
you are in the same room and you feel
okay let's say the person sitting next
to you is not spelling really good and
but she's and obviously no one's telling
her because it's just there and what if
like it's you what would you do so you
have to like put yourself first and
understand like you know if you know
certain things okay I do smell bad when
I when it's when I'm sweaty or whatever
it is you just have to pick those pieces
and you know just put yourself together
and also you could also keep you know if
if things are hard because of work or
you don't have time and any other stuff
you could keep just one day every week
and do all those things that you want to
do that doesn't mean that okay you have
to go to a salon to do any of those
things you can do all of these things
for yourself
so rest of the week you have your time
to do whatever the hell you want to but
you can also put yourself you know you
can put yourself in the first place on
one of those days yeah I think the same
applies for men as well at least just
dedicate one or two
[Music]
hours yeah but also like it depends on
the person right like what if okay I'm a
man and I don't want to do that it's
fine you don't have to do it but like
you know B things like I think I think
if if the man's
expectation true what do you expect in a
girl I already have my yeah but like if
you if it's a hypothetical situation
where you don't have a girl and now you
are looking for
someone what what would be like you know
three main things that you would look
for her apart from how she looks or how
she dress so whatever you like you like
the answer because I'm going to tell
everything about you all the boxes you
ticked no just tell just tell just tell
definitely one
is right no no apart from apart from the
looks and apart from how they dress
because again it depends on the person
right like no one's going to dress like
me like okay they might get inspiration
or whatever I mean I'm not just a St but
like I'm just saying like people get
inspiration from someone else but
doesn't mean that they will dress
exactly like that so perfect from
dressing and apart from the
looks body hair is in hair on the arms
at least back then it was not
something
people spoke of in public saying it's
okay to have hair on your arms but now
it's
being spoken enough often I still prefer
no hair on the arms for
example could uh
definitely there's no harm in having or
or taking some time
[Music]
to apply a little bit of makeup to
enhance your attributes it's fine it
shows that you you're putting an effort
to look good yeah but you don't have to
change what you look like by putting
makeup to yeah that's definitely not the
point cuz because it's very hot in Sri
Lanka it looks funny sometimes yeah yeah
that's not the point but yes
agreed nails for sure
Nails dirty
nails and maybe your feet L to
Fe those are little things I think that
adds value especially if you're single
and you're looking to find looking to
meet someone or go to the next stage and
in your life and get into a relationship
you want to make sure you look good
but nobody seems to care but still they
expect to meet someone so I don't think
it works that way they have to you have
to put effort to get result that's a
basic thing right and it's also part of
self growing right
like if you okay you have an inspiration
of some on and you want to you know go
up the ladder or whatever it is like
like you said you have to put the effort
if you want to look good you have to put
the effort to look good you can't just
magically look good and dress to impress
right people respect you more when you
dress well and you look good but when
you don't put in effort they don't
really care so what about you what
is men's P thing uh I like it's just
that okay this is just my personal
opinion I like when men are dressed very
nicely cuz I like I
like I like I like when when men have a
nice a good style that's just to me cuz
I I don't like when people we like Bic
stuff basic basic stff I don't I don't
like basic I mean it just that it's it's
not it's not like that like it's just a
different topic but what I'm trying to
say is even the basic you can dress
nicely that's what I'm trying to say so
yeah I think that I look for a lot this
is a part from the physical and like
appearance wise and iron clothes iron
all that comes under the style and how
you dress as well right yeah and other
than that obviously like you know just
just looking Pleasant just just clean

the young men that are watching you just

next
um I don't like my man having long nails
long freaking nails with like all the
kunu inside
so
and and then they know doesn't look good
like those are simple things it's not be
I'm not shaming anyone but what I'm
trying to say is like you know those
things are very obvious and it's just
they're not doing it only because they
don't put effort and they don't care
that's the only reason like other than
that people would do it cuz who doesn't
like to look good um other than that
uh then then then
they look the
same it's
okay yeah and it depends on the place
you are yes yes correct and as as a
