Quick fixes get a bad name, and sometimes improvement does take patience. That being said, there are still plenty of ways you can improve yourself that don't require a five year plan.
As Mr Churchill once wisely said, "To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often."
Touché, old guy.
1. Work from the ground up
The old adage about your shoes being the first thing people notice about you isn't changing any time soon. Luckily, footwear options are more flexible than they've ever been, so there's really no excuse not to be rocking something good on your feet.

2. Manspread (yes, really)
Widely derided as one of the most heinous crimes of the 21st Century, "manspreading" is a term used to call out men who take up too much space on public transport. We're certainly not advocating crushing anyone on the Central line with your strapping thighs, but it turns out there are some merits to "space maximisation".
Research has found that men are more successful at flirting when they take up more space with their body (stretching, extending arms, wide-legged stances etc) rather than adopting inward and closed body language. Just don't come crashing into the pub arms out like a human air-glider.
3. Spruce up your scent
'Body odour = bad' is not the sort of genius insight we're looking to offer you here, but are you aware how much of an advantage smelling really good can be? Research published earlier this year found that your voice and scent play crucial roles in how attractive people find you, not just your looks.
Handily, we've rounded up the best summer scents that will last much longer than the good weather.
