How to become more attractive?

The good news is that you don’t need plastic surgery!!
Contrary to common beliefs your level of attractiveness is not constant but it keeps changing continuously based on your actions, behavior and thoughts.
Research has shown that both men and women can change their perception of someone's attractiveness without any changes happening to his physical looks if few small things that count were changed.
You don’t have to undergo a plastic surgery in order to become more attractive nor you should become depressed if you don’t like your looks simply because your levels of attractiveness can be manually changed.

Tips that can make you more attractive


  • Votes do count!!: A research has shown that a person is perceived to be more attractive if people from the opposite sex were seen to smile to him. This means that when more people smile at you then you will appear more attractive especially if they were from the opposite sex. Being nice never works, but being nice to others work :)
  • What makes people attractive?: Attraction happens on the unconscious level which means that logic has nothing to do with the process. Women become attracted to men who posses masculine traits because this gives them the sense of protection they are looking for. This means that making your voice deeper, standing tall, working out to build muscles or stretching your shoulders can make you 10 times more attractive.
  • Colors can change perceived attractiveness: Wearing certain colors can affect the way people see you and how certain colors can make you more attractive. Research has shown that women who wear red are perceived to be more attractive while men who wear blue are perceived to be loyal and trust worthy and this in turn increases their attractiveness.
  • Self confidence attracts everyone, from friends to potential partners: People who appear to be self assured, who don’t act in a clumsy way and who seem to know their direction in life are perceived to be very attractive by everyone. You wont only attract potential partners by acting confident but you will make more friends and will have more fans.
  • Research has shown that smiling makes people more attractive: An experiment was made and some men were shown pictures of various women. It was found that the smile increased the perceived attractiveness of women who used to look normal
  • Charisma: It was also found that charismatic people are perceived to be much more attractive than normal people. Make sure you walk confidently; maintain eye contact and use the body language confidence gesture (Hands behind back, hands clasped in front of stomach and standing tall)

Attraction and psychology

Each person has a certain way of assessing the attractiveness of others.
This way is usually developed as a result of the experiences a person goes through in his life.
If a person was raised without being cared for that much then there is a big possibility that he will be more attracted to kind and nurturing people.
Once you understand the need this person have you can act in a way that makes you appear much more attractive to him. You can make people find you much more attractive by just displaying the traits that they are looking for.

Attractiveness halo effect

What is attractiveness halo effect?
It was found that people assume that good looking ones have additional good traits and qualities.
According to the attractiveness halo effect its quite common for people to think that beautiful people are more intelligent, competent and successful than others.
Many researches have been done to test the attractiveness halo effect and some of them found that attractive people received more help than less attractive ones while others found that attractive people get lighter punishments in courts if their crime wasn't related to their attractiveness.
According to the attractiveness halo effect this phenomenon happens unconsciously and people aren't aware that the attractiveness of the other person has anything to do with their biased judgment.

What causes the attractiveness halo effect?

So we now know that this attractiveness halo effect is present but the question is, what causes it?
There are many explanations but few of them made a lot of sense to me. The continues programming people received through the media made them unconsciously associate attractiveness with good qualities.
For example, In any Hollywood movie you will find that the attractive guy is the good guy, the wealthy guy and the one who always becomes successful at the end of the movie.
I have read an interesting study that said that attractive people are actually more intelligent than none attractive ones. The study claimed that the resourceful man who has above average intelligence and who is successful will usually look for an attractive woman to marry thus give birth to beautiful and intelligent children!!
The Attractiveness halo effect can also be explained in the light of the good feelings we get when being around attractive people. When someone makes you feel good your mind will start to think positively and as a result you might assign him good qualities even if you know nothing about him.

More on the Attractiveness halo effect

Provided that all other factors are equal attractive people are more likely to get better jobs, to have more friends and to earn more money!!
Could this all be happening because of the attractiveness halo effect?
Yes this might be possible because after all success in life is heavily dependent upon your relationships with others and if most people believe that you have many good qualities then certainly you will get more opportunities than others.
