Have you ever wondered if you're attractive?
If you've ever brought up the subject
to your closest friends,
maybe they've reassured you insisting you are good-looking,
but yet, you can't see what they do.
(upbeat music)
And how do you know if they're just being nice?
In your mind your flaws stand out too much.
So how can you tell if you are attractive,
even if you don't see yourself as so?
Here are six signs you really are attractive
even if you don't think you are.
Number one, when you look at photos of yourself
from months ago as compared to now,
you think you looked better then.
Have you ever browsed through your social media
only to stumble upon a month's old photo
of yourself with friends?
You do a double-take because you surprisingly look better
than you thought you did at the time.
"I don't look that bad at all," you think,
but then that photo from yesterday,
you can't help, but scrutinize.
A 2010 study by psychologist,
Tal Eyal and behavioral scientists, Nicholas Epley
found that with due time,
one is likely to see themselves more abstractly,
similar to how others might view their looks.
Researchers had photos taken of participants
and then asked them to rate their looks
based on how others might rate them.
Some of the subjects were told their photo
would be rated by others the same day,
while others were told the photographs
would be rated months later.
Those who were told their photos would be rated months later
were more accurate in how others perceived them.
This could be due to the idea
that they've imagined enough time between them
and the harsh judgments they felt about themselves
while taking the photo.
Those harsh scrutinies don't seem that important
months down the line, right?
So this can be a small way to gain some insight
into how attractive you are to others.
Look at a photo from months ago and one from now,
are you less critical of yourself
on judging the older photo?
Eyal and Epley's explanation is that
you're a better judge of how attractive you are
when enough time has passed from when the photo was taken.
Number two, some people seem nervous
or different around you.
When you find someone good-looking,
do you often get nervous?
Or maybe you have a loss of words
and are in awe of how attractive they are.
While this might happen to others
if they think you're attractive as well.
They may even act awkward around you
because your beauty makes them nervous.
If you notice they act awkward or different around you
as compared to others, they may just like you.
Have you ever been frustrated that your dinner
is taking too long to make
and you turn into a Hangry T-Rex?
Do you want diversity in your meal choices?
I didn't realize how much time I was spending on cooking
until I tried HelloFresh our sponsor for this video
and the number one meal-kit in America.
With all of the time saved making dinner,
we're able to dedicate more time on important things,
such as making new videos for you guys.
With their quick and easy options,
dinner can be made and be put on the table
all in 20 minutes or less.
Don't worry about anything going to waste either.

less food waste, and you eat more sustainably.
Most importantly, HelloFresh offers a weekly variety
of recipes dedicated to healthy living,
including low-cal, carb-smart,
vegetarian and pescetarian options.
Let's see Sy cook.
First, we cut the mushrooms into quarters and roast them.
Then we cook the pork and the linguine at the same time,
but make sure to stir the pasta occasionally till tender,
make the cream sauce, add some sliced sage, Dijon,
and most importantly, season it with some salt and pepper
and combine the things together.
And tada!
Dinner is served.
Who did it better, me, or Sy?

Number three, you receive a lot of messages on social media.
You just posted that selfie of yourself on social media
and now the floodgates have opened
to random friend requests and flirty messages.
Who are these people?
And why are they messaging you out of nowhere?
Odds are others find you very attractive
based on your latest social media posts
and some can't help but message you in hopes
you'll like them back.
Number four, you catch them staring at you.
Do you find other staring at you?
Maybe you think there's something on your teeth
or maybe a bug landed on your face.
You're thinking of all kinds of scenarios,
but maybe they just think you're attractive.
Think about it.
When we find someone beautiful
all we wanna do is catch another quick glance at them.
And perhaps that look becomes an awkward stare.
So rest assured there's likely nothing in your teeth.
Their eyes are simply gazing at your eyes, not your mouth,
or maybe they're looking at your mouth too.
And number five,
you don't get many compliments when you expect them.
Some people simply don't compliment that new acquaintance
they find most attractive simply
because they assume they know.
Some may feel like they might not want
the extra attention and that too many compliments
may come off as annoying.
But if everyone assumes
that you're overly used to compliments,
they might not give them.
Just because you don't receive a compliment
does not mean you're not attractive.
So do you think you're attractive?
Will you be scrolling through old photos of yourself
to see how you feel about them now?
Let us know in the comments down below.
Remember, even if you don't think
you're the most attractive person in the room,
the familiar phrase,
beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
rings true every time.
So behold, not only what's great about you on the outside,
but the inside as well,
some pretty attractive traits you've been hiding, huh?
