The r/GetSuave Codex
The topic of GetSuave is widespread, pertaining to building a naturally attractive, confident, fun, stylish lifestyle - think James Bond but without all the bullets.

It’s not always easy to define suave, so sometimes it’s nice just to illustrate it in action.
Better yet, try to look at some of the guys in these video clips, and maybe even try to replicate their body language in the safe confines of your own home. What does it feel like to look as relaxed, poised, and confident Sean Connery in Dr. No? That’s a feeling you want to pursue.
If anyone has any suggestions for stuff that belongs here, simply leave it in the comments.
