- degron, on 02/21/2008, -5/+200The best way for a woman to look naked is to be naked and laying on my bed.
- maxyRO, on 02/21/2008, -7/+14713. Get your man semi-drunk
- minnymoo, on 02/21/2008, -14/+135pale is beautiful, so stfu.
- decepticrat, on 02/21/2008, -3/+101For me, the easiest way for a girl to look good naked is to have absolutely no clothing on. I'm easy like that. Decepticrat knows the ladies come in all shapes and sizes, and he loves them all the same. :)
- edein, on 02/21/2008, -1/+97digg? naked? ladies? "Internal Server Error" :(
- inactive, on 02/21/2008, -7/+98Here's a good test. Walk slowly towards a wall, if your boobs hit before your nose...you're probably going to look good naked
- janiceelizabeth, on 02/21/2008, -1/+89but only if you're a woman :)
- jphicks, on 02/21/2008, -1/+87If a woman needs this article to tell her not to smell bad, I don't think it matters if get she gets naked. Even with herself.
- Scopitone, on 02/21/2008, -10/+83Don't be fat
- jothaxe, on 02/21/2008, -2/+67The TV show “How to Look Good Naked” has been a raging success and with good reason - it tackles women’s insecurities about their bodies and makes them feel good about themselves - a sure-fire winner.
For a show about how to look good naked an awful lot of attention is focused on how to look good in clothes. I guess the confidence you get from looking good out and about (and the admiring glances you receive) translates to you feeling altogether better whether you’re wearing clothes or not.
Although the show has to be applauded for attempting to make women feel good about themselves without trying to change their shape, it does go against the grain a bit for me because I am all about helping people to improve their bodies and their health.
Let’s Face it - Your Mirror Doesn’t Lie
When you take your clothes off to get in your shower or to make love to your partner, you no doubt want to look good naked and when you look into your mirror . . . it tells you the truth, whether you want to ‘hear it’ or not. For many people, the mirror is the only time they ever see their toes . . . their excess flab, their love handles and every other bit hang without support - which means ‘how to look good naked’ is more than looking good in clothes.
And I believe the best way for you to look good naked is for you to actually work on your body so it’s the best it can be.
Nevertheless you can do a lot without making yourself feel bad about your body and feeling you are less than perfect because you can’t manage 2 hours a day in the gym.
So what can you do WITHOUT too much effort?
1. Good Fuel
Looking good naked is not about losing weight - most of the women in the show would have liked to be lighter but sexy does not have to mean twig-like. In fact it’s easier to be sexy with a few womanly pounds of flesh here and there than with a bony too-skinny look. Looking good naked DOES mean caring for your body with the right foods to make you feel great - good food and plenty of water to keep you nourished, hydrated and full of energy. And quite often the right foods will result in a slimmer body anyway.
2. Avoid the Pregnant Look
No one is going to look good naked with a stomach stuffed full of pasta. (Just look how you get a 5 months pregnant look next time you go into carb overload). If you want to look good naked, make sure you eat in moderation before you take off your clothes! And if the pregnant look is a constant feature of your body (and you haven’t stuffed yourself with carbs for ages) sign up for the FREE 5 Easy Ways to Flat Abs course here on this site and do something about it in just a couple of minutes a day.
3. Firm Not Flabby
It’s not only our stomachs which look better toned. We all look better - excess flesh or no excess flesh - if we have great underlying muscle tone. Just a few minutes a few times a week spent firming, toning and strengthening your butt, thighs, chest and arms will go a long way to making you look great without your clothes.
4. Pampered Soft Skin
The ladies on the Look Good Naked show have plenty of pampering beauty treatments to make sure that their skin is soft, hair-free and smooth. Flaking, rough skin, goose bumps and hairy legs are not the look you are aiming for…
5. Beautiful Color
If you’re pale, an even and subtle fake tan always makes flesh more attractive in and out of your clothes and helps cover a multitude of sins (fat and cellulite…to name but two).
6. Hair Update
Your hair is the only fashion statement you’ll be wearing so it needs to look current, soft, healthy and touchable (give the hairspray and sticky gel a miss). Most important of all you need a cut which suits the shape of your face and is in proportion to the size of your body. Find a good hairdresser and visit often for a regular trim and occasional restyle.
7. Don’t Forget Your Extremities
Make sure your hands and feet are beautiful with a professional manicure and pedicure or learn to do it yourself. Chipped nail polish, rough hands and jagged nails are not going to win any prizes in the Look Good Naked stakes.
8. A Bit of Makeup
You don’t want your face paint to come off on the bed clothes but a bit on subtle makeup can work wonders to accentuate your good points and camouflage the points you’re less than happy with. And you can also use a bit of body makeup to cover up flaws such as spider veins.
9. Smile
Don’t forget your teeth. If they don’t enhance your look and they make you want to hide your smile it’s time to save up, get over any fear you have of the dentist and get them sorted out.
10. Let Your Eyes Sparkle!
When your smile reaches your eyes you want them to sparkle not show the effects of too many nights burning the candle at both ends. Get plenty of beauty sleep before a big night or as a last resort for a special occasion, use those brightening eye drops.
11. Smell Good
Don’t overpower the world with too much fragrance or use a whole selection of competing products - differently perfumed shampoo, deodorant, soap and body lotion can be a toxic combination. Lightly layered perfume from matching bath products and no more than a light spray of fragrance from the same range will leave you smelling good as well as looking good.
12. Lighting
Remember that none of us looks our best under bright fluorescent light - soft lighting or candle light will improve the mood of the moment AND your body.
If all else fails, you’ve eaten too much pasta, your jeans have popped the first 2 buttons, you’re bleary eyed, your make-up is smudged and you never did do your toning exercises, bear in mind - the person you are getting naked with probably couldn’t care less - especially if you are going to get jiggy with it! - saxreturns, on 02/21/2008, -0/+65On the other hand he refers to himself in the 3rd person...
- Ravenhaft, on 02/21/2008, -2/+62Seriously. I hate to see a good body ruined by an awful tan, fake or real. Real tans make you look like a worn out bag, and fake tans make you look orange.
- pmctosh, on 02/21/2008, -5/+61If you can clasp your hands behind your head and walk up to a wall and your gut hits before your elbows, it's time for some work. Just another lil indicator...
- Hefelumpman, on 02/21/2008, -0/+46But my bathroom is upstairs!
- MadMalc, on 02/21/2008, -2/+47Strange, every time I get naked they call Green peace out to try and re float me !
- nirsguru, on 02/21/2008, -1/+4312. Don't be a man
- Jaliyl, on 02/21/2008, -0/+3914. upgrade your server, crappy servers are a big turn off for diggers
- SkateorDie, on 02/21/2008, -6/+43Why this is on Digg is beyond me. There aren't any ladies on the internets.
- inactive, on 02/21/2008, -8/+44Great article. I noticed there's no mention of boobs hanging down to the knees as one view in the mirror. How to look good naked is what we all want whether male or female and those who don't are no doubt in denial.
- inactive, on 02/21/2008, -3/+38This reminds me of that Seinfeld episode about the "good naked" and the "bad naked".
- sinurgy, on 02/21/2008, -1/+36"And if the pregnant look is a constant feature of your body (and you haven’t stuffed yourself with carbs for ages) sign up for the FREE 5 Easy Ways to Flat Abs course here on this site and do something about it in just a couple of minutes a day."
This is solved by general weight loss as there is no such thing as "targeted weight loss". It's just marketing speak. You cannot lose fat in specific areas, you can just lose fat. Think about it, if you've got a double chin you don't start exercising your chin do you?! Of course not! The same holds true for your butt, stomach, whatever...if you're trying to lose fat, just do any cardio exercise, don't worry about "targeting" the fat area. - inactive, on 02/21/2008, -0/+341. Get Naked
- skyshock1, on 02/21/2008, -0/+33I'd also like to add...
13. Quit wearing so much goddamn makeup! - BadseedJR, on 02/21/2008, -2/+35Mirror - http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:Duk4BeKGB0cJ: ...
- Accolade1, on 02/21/2008, -8/+40Shave downstairs.
- DeskFlyer, on 02/21/2008, -0/+31Something tells me the brunette in the photo probably won't need these tips.
- XxLindyxX, on 02/21/2008, -2/+32LOSE!! NOT LOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- janiceelizabeth, on 02/21/2008, -4/+34music to our ears - what a nice guy you are
- tokaijazz, on 02/21/2008, -0/+29The tips are simply obvious... or stupid. Let Your Eyes Sparkle? What kind of tip is it? Smell Good? I couldn't never imagine.
- Quake050, on 02/21/2008, -1/+29I knew I had become a full fledged Digger when I saw LADIES ....something something somehing NAKED. Haha
- dannyapplesauce, on 02/21/2008, -1/+29what if you can't even touch your arms together in that fashion due to your overly beefcake biceps?
- mywhitenoise, on 02/21/2008, -6/+3311. Smell Good
I'm pretty sure your scent has NOTHING to do with the way you look. - lukeduke, on 02/21/2008, -0/+26Where are the pics?
- ErinR, on 02/21/2008, -3/+29I'm fairly sure that for most women, it should be neither their elbows nor their gut that hits the wall first.
- yohnstoppable, on 02/21/2008, -0/+26Or date a digg user. Diggers can't be choosers
- Adrianne, on 02/21/2008, -1/+25Seriously, the tan thing has nothing to do with attractiveness. It is about status. Pale was attractive when only lower class working people had tans. Then only rich people could afford to go on winter vacations to sunny places and get a tan and it became popular. Now there are a bunch of weirdo Paris Hilton clones who have turned themselves orange chasing the dream.
- minimix, on 02/21/2008, -0/+24Ah - you never got in an elevator with a women who sprayed on too much "Poison" or "Obsession" then and couldn't breathe LOL
- orangefly, on 02/21/2008, -0/+23http://www.metacafe.com/watch/579249/lose_weight_i ...
- sugarazor, on 02/21/2008, -8/+31What a lame article further passing along the "accepted" look of what is beautiful. I'm all for taking care of yourself and eating right, but looking good naked doesn't mean wearing make up, having a toned stomach, the right haircut, or any of that other ***** the mainstream has been drilling into women's brains for the last fifty years.
- tech42er, on 02/21/2008, -0/+23That is the sound of millions of lonely Diggers clicking on your profile.
- 01001001, on 02/21/2008, -1/+22The female form is the most beautiful creation on Earth.
"A woman's shoulders are the front lines of her mystique, and her neck, if she's alive, has all the mystery of a border town. A no-man's land in that battle between the mind and the body." -- John Milton, The Devil's Advocate - almj, on 02/21/2008, -8/+27i respectfully disagree with this article. How about "Be Yourself".
- buzmcg, on 02/21/2008, -1/+19Looking good naked has a lot to do with attitude - yours and hers.
- minimix, on 02/21/2008, -1/+19the "semi" being very important LOL
- CannibalTom, on 02/21/2008, -2/+20Tans can really make you look like you're sick.
- inactive, on 02/21/2008, -0/+17 a true digger
- MadMalc, on 02/21/2008, -3/+19All the rarest of things called inappropriately named "Common sense"...
- Jaliyl, on 02/21/2008, -0/+15Good luck with that buddy
- keithburgun, on 02/21/2008, -0/+15you're so right! I LOVE pale skin. (not sarcasm just in case you thought that sounded sarcastic)
- pixelfishfood, on 02/21/2008, -0/+13I am a woman, and this list is pointless. Every woman in America already knows all of these things! The list is basically this:
1. Don't be fat
2. Don't be bloated
3. Don't be fat
4. Have perfect skin
5. Get a fake tan
6. Have perfect hair
7. Have perfect nails
8. Wear makeup
9. Have perfect teeth
10. Be pretty
11. Smell good
12. Have great lighting in your house
We are constantly inundated with ads trying to sell us products to cure fatness, bloating, acne, etc., plus beauty products like tanners, perfumes, makeup, teeth whiteners, and nail polishes. Just look at this website...it's trying to sell stuff. Yes, if I could be everything on this list so easily, I would be, but I already spend way too much time and money on products that don't work as advertised. -
