How to attract people to you

After using Facebook for three years I realized that different people comment on my status updates depending on the topic I mention in each status.
In the beginning I noticed that I am only attracting comments from close friends but as I started to mention completely different topics in my status I noticed that I am attracting people who were never attracted to my status before.
In my article Interpersonal attraction I explained how people get attracted to those who resonate with their beliefs, values and interests.
This brings us to a very important conclusion, in order to attract people to you you first need to understand how those people think, what their interests are and what do they believe in.

There is no general formula for attracting people

Based on these facts we can conclude that what would attract Sam won’t attract Bob and what Sarah would find interesting might be completely boring to Jessica.
Do you know how marketers attract people to buy their products? They first determine the type of people they want to attract and then they customize their ads and campaigns to match the interests of those people.
In short, in order to attract people to you then you need to understand what makes them tick. I want you to remember how you met your current friends and what are the reasons that made you become friends
You will find that something was common between you both that motivated you to become closer to each other before you became good friends.

How to make people like you

Making someone like, admire you or even love you requires that you first attract the attention of this person. We fall in love with those we see often and those who are similar to us the most.
While the type of attraction I was talking about in this article is not enough to make someone fall for you still it’s the very first step needed in order to attract a potential partner.

Practical steps for attracting people to you

So enough with theory and lets focus on the practical part, here is how to attract people to you:

• Determine the type of people you want to attract: You need to know your target market just like marketers do
• Understand them very well: You need to study those people well, understand how they think, behave and what they believe in.
  
• Likes attract likes: As soon as you show signs of similarity those people you are after will get attracted to you

Very simple yet very effective
