You will need Aromatherapy Smiles Eye contact Hand gestures White teeth Good posture Name
dropping and red clothes (optional).
Step 1.
Harness the power of aromatherapy: To appear younger, wear a grapefruit scent.
To appear thinner, wear a spiced floral scent.
These olfactory tricks can make people perceive you as six years younger and 12 pounds slimmer.
Step 2.
When you see someone you find attractive, give them a big smile.
It will make them find you appealing, too.
Anthropologists believe it's because we're biologically primed to prefer people who seem
to be interested in _us_.
Step 3. Make eye contact.
British researchers found that if someone looks us straight in the eye, we find them
more attractive than people who avert their gaze.
Step 4.
Use your hands when you talk.
People who make a lot of gestures when they're speaking are perceived as younger, more exciting,
and more vibrant than less animated folks.
If you're a woman, wear red.
Studies show men are subconsciously more attracted to a woman in red.
Step 5.
Get your teeth whitened.
People with pearly whites are perceived to be more attractive _and_ more successful than
people with dull or stained choppers.
Step 6.
Stand up straight.
Good posture instantly makes you look taller and thinner.
Step 7.
When you're talking to someone, drop their name into the conversation occasionally.
When people hear their name, the reward center of their brain lights up, and those good feelings
are projected onto you.
Just don't do it too much, or it will come across as disingenuous.
