Ways To Appear More Attractive

Wondering if there’s a new hairstyle you’re not aware of? It’s not really your physical appearance that matters the most when you want to appear more attractive.It’s more about the way you carry yourself, the people you hang out with, and how you talk to people, along with many other things.

You should attract someone with the simplest of things, that’s what makes it more attractive, little did we know that just smiling or being around a crowd or letting out your sense of humor could be more attractive than the fancy clothes and layers of makeup we use.

1. Be Funny

How many times have you heard someone or told someone that one of the characteristics of ‘the one’ has to be good sense of humor. Someone who can make you laugh? Many studies have shown that women are more attracted to men who can make them laugh. According to a study, a psychologist asked men to tell a joke to their friends at a bar while a woman sat at a nearby table, and it was concluded that the guys who told jokes were three times more likely to get her number than the people who didn’t.

Funny people are considered to be more intelligent and more social, this is what most women look for in their partner is.

2. Surround yourself with friends

People are found to look better when they’re in a group according to a 2014 study from the University of California, San Diego. It’s actually a good strategy to have a few wingmen or wing-women, more so if their facial features complement and average out one’s unattractive idiosyncrasies. Our brains apparently take the faces of a group of people in aggregate, making each face look more ‘average’ and attractive. I’m sure this not too difficult a task to accomplish, I mean how hard could it be to hang out with your friends?

3. Skip the small talk

A survey took place in a 1997 study, by a psychologist Arthur AronState University of New York, where he separated two groups of people and paired them off, giving each duo 45 minutes to answer a set of questions. While one question set was small talk, and the other was increasingly probing. He found out that the people who asked deeper questions felt more connected and one couple fell in love.

Talking about yourself stimulates the same brain regions as sex or a good meal, according to Harvard research.

4. Be a leader

This does not mean you need to act bossy, but people are attracted to power. A study in 2014 found that people in a group think that the group’s leader is more attractive than people who aren’t in the group. Similarly in a company, employees find the CEO more attractive than people outside the company. Lead author Kevin Kniffin and his colleagues said that ‘In contrast with research traditions that treat physical attractiveness as a static trait, our findings highlight the importance of group membership as a lens for perceiving familiar leaders’ physical attractiveness,’.

5. Smile more

Stating something you all must know by now. Why would anyone fall for someone with a grumpy face? In Switzerland, two experiments were conducted where researchers in examined the relationship between attractiveness and smiling. They found out that the stronger someone smiled, the more attractive a face looked, a happy facial expression compensated for relative unattractiveness.
