Did you know there are simple things you can do each day that are scientifically proven to make you look and act more appealing? These tips are especially beneficial because they take little effort and the effects can be instantaneous!
1. Eating fruits and vegetables
The results of a study shows that the antioxidants and pigments in fresh fruits and vegetables instantly give the skin a healthy glow. Those who participated in the study had clearer skin and a natural rosy hue on their cheeks with just one increased portion of fruits or vegetables a day.
2. Smile
Laughter and a genuine smile can instantly make you more attractive. The world never seems to have enough smiles. Lighten up your face by showing a little personality.
3. Change your pitch
It is scientifically proven that men find women who speak with a higher pitched voice more attractive, as it conveys a smaller body. Men should do the opposite and speak in deeper tones as it conveys a larger body type.
4. Don't play dumb
Statistics show that men find intelligent, genuine and quick-witted women to be more physically attractive when they are looking for a long-term or permanent relationship with her. The opposite is true for those looking for something short-term.
5. Relax
Being stressed about the small things can sometimes put people off, even if you don't mean to. Stress can cause you to have a lower patience level, be easily agitated and makes you more susceptible to emotional distress. If you get a handle on your stress levels, you will instantly become more approachable and be perceived as outgoing and less standoffish.
6. Be kind
Being kind is one of the most attractive traits a person can have. Surround yourself with loved ones and be willing to help them out when they need it. Whether through kind gestures, kind words, or kind motives, kindness can truly rub off on you and the world around you.
7. Be a good listener
There is nothing more attractive than someone who shows true interest in what you have to say. Be a good listener. Lean in toward the person who is speaking to you and make eye contact. Give them your full attention and refrain from bringing the subject back to yourself.
8. Be confident
Take charge and be confident in your decisions and in your abilities. Constantly doubting yourself makes you seem unsure about everything, including a potential relationship. Instead of doubting and being indecisive, make a decision and follow through with it.
9. Have good hygiene
Take care of your body. Trim unruly beards, use deodorant, and brush your teeth. Smelling good can have a major effect on how people perceive you. If you didn't know, people can see both good and bad hygiene habits in other people. Keeping yourself clean implies that you care about yourself as well as other people.
10. Drink water
Water is your best friend. In fact, your body is made up of 73 percent of the liquid. If you are not drinking an ample amount of water each day, start now. 75 percent of Americans suffer from chronic dehydration each day because they do not drink the recommended amount! By drinking water, you restore elasticity to your skin, and your face will have a more youthful appearance.
11. Perfect your posture
Many people have a natural tendency to slouch, especially women. If you are constantly hunched over, it implies you do not carry yourself with much confidence. You want a straight line from your crown to your toes. If you suffer from bad posture, there are many exercises and yoga poses that can help lengthen your spine. Learn to carry yourself with confidence.
12. Skip the small talk
Do not stay in the shallow end of the pool; move to the deeper end. Ask deeper questions and truly strive to get to know people on a much more personal level. If you are constantly involved in small talk, conversation will most likely get boring and cease to go anywhere. Instead, open up about your interests and ask questions to spark an insightful conversation.
13. Have a sense of humor
Being able to make others laugh not only makes you feel good, but it also allows others to get to know you better. Laughter brings people together, and being able to make and take a joke is very attractive according to a recent study.
14. Don't compare yourself to others
Don't show off your insecurities by comparing yourself to other people. You do not have to be skinnier, have more curves, be taller, or be shorter to be attractive. Embrace all the things about yourself that make you beautiful. Learn to embrace your differences and love yourself.
15. Be real
Be yourself. That is your greatest asset. Be confident, be selfless and don't ever change who you are. Just be you. The world is filled with so many people pretending to be something they are not. You were born to stand out in a crowd. You cannot truly love another person until you love yourself. Be honest, genuine, and be the best person you can possibly be. If you do just that, everyone you meet will be fully aware of how beautiful a person you are, inside and out.
