Given the opportunity, say enough to pique interest and always leave people wanting more of your brain. Not everyone can be skinny, and people of all shapes and sizes are widely considered beautiful, but incredibly attractive people manage their bodies. How and what they eat matters to others because food is an important part of the social construct.
Bad habits such as gum, cigarettes, and too much alcohol can knock attractiveness down quickly, even though people won't say anything. Don't let over indulgence and poor choices get in the way of the respect people should have for you. Many people are preoccupied with themselves and what's on their own mind. So when someone genuinely shows interest in another and listens, she immediately strengthens her connection with that person. I have personally become closer with an acquaintance through sharing an important story.
Incredibly attractive people have mastered the art of listening. Try doubling your personal listening-to-talking ratio for a week and enjoy the noticeable difference. There is no question that smart is sexy and ignorance is ugly. Incredibly attractive people know you don't have to be a brainiac to maintain admiration, but it helps to be aware of current events and develop your mind. Dedicate an hour a day to making yourself smarter and watch a whole new class of people join you in discussion.
It's difficult to be around people who neglect themselves. It's often a clear sign of low self-esteem. Incredibly attractive people hold themselves in high regard. They are strong in self-confidence and care about their bodies.
They enjoy life and want to be around for as long as possible. Make your own body a priority. Research suggests that dishonesty is a major turn-off for both men and women. For a study from the University of Western Ontario, participants read blurbs about men and women who were described as either intelligent or unintelligent, dependent or independent, and honest or dishonest.
Participants then rated the people they had read about on several criteria, including how much they liked them and how attractive they were. As it turns out, honesty was the only trait out of the three to have a substantial effect on ratings of attractiveness and likability.
For a study , researchers recruited more than heterosexual young women in Belgium to look at photos and bios of young men. Results showed that men whose bios indicated they smoked frequently were considered less attractive than nonsmokers and occasional smokers — especially if the men were being considered for a long-term relationship. As for drinking, occasional drinkers were rated as more attractive than nondrinkers and frequent drinkers when they were being considered for both short- and long-term relationships.
Immodesty can kill romance — at least according to a study from researchers at Hope College and the University of North Texas. In two experiments, researchers had about mostly heterosexual undergrads read descriptions and personality assessments of a hypothetical fellow student. The descriptions varied — some said, "I'm a pretty good student, but not a bookworm.
Other people say I'm smart, but I don't like the attention," while others said, "I'm a really good student and pretty smart, but definitely not a nerd or bookworm. I guess it just comes naturally. When the student appeared highly humble, the undergrads were more likely to want to start a relationship with them. A paper , published by researchers at the University of California at Merced and California State University at Stanislaus, suggests that our political views influence whom we find attractive.
For the study, which was conducted during the presidential election, about US adults indicated whether they identified more strongly with the Democratic Party or Republican Party. Then, participants looked at a photo and brief bio of a person of the opposite gender.
In some cases, the bio indicated whether the person supported Democratic candidate Barack Obama or Republican candidate Mitt Romney. Female Democrats found the man pictured much more attractive when he was an Obama supporter and much less attractive when he was a Romney supporter.
Men also found the woman much less attractive when she supported the opposite party. But they didn't find the woman that much more attractive when she supported the same party. This isn't a reason to change your political affiliation so that someone finds you more attractive, of course. It's simply evidence of the myriad factors that shape our dating preferences. For you.
