- [Narrator] Do you think that beauty is the only thing
that makes people attractive?
For a lot of us,
it takes more than a pretty face
or dashing good looks to win us over.
It takes a kind heart, a beautiful mind,
and a genuine soul to make us fall in love with someone.
But while we are admiring these qualities in others,
we may end up forgetting that we have these qualities too.
We can oftentimes be unaware or dismissive
of all of our best traits and qualities.
To remind you that you're beautiful,
here are eight attractive things you might be doing,
but don't notice.
Number one, you smile a lot.
Do people see you as a warm and friendly person?
Are you always quick with a smile
or a hello to brighten someone's day?
While it might not seem like much to you,
that smile can catch other people's eyes
and put them in a good mood.
It makes a good impression,
and it shows other people that you are a happy person
who finds joy in everyday things.
And what's more attractive
than someone who has a positive, inviting energy?
Number two. You take care of your appearance.
Even if you might not be the best dressed
or best looking person you know,
what matters most to other people
is that you take care of your appearance.
It's the little things that make a big difference,
like freshly manicured nails, a well-put-together outfit
or a neat and tidy hairstyle,
because it's not about how trendy
or expensive your clothes are
or about what brands you're wearing.
What people find attractive is the way you carry yourself
with poise, confidence, and good grooming.
Number three, you talk about your hobbies.
Do you have a hobby that you love
or a favorite pastime you talk about with your friends?
Whether it's gardening, gaming, designing, painting
reading, music, dancing, or playing sports,
people will always find you more attractive
when you have something you're passionate about
and which you're not afraid to share.
So keep this in mind
next time you wanna impress your crush.
It probably won't take much more
than being your genuine and true self,
which includes talking to them about your hobbies
and favorite things to do.
Number four, you think before you speak.
There are few things that make someone more unattractive
than being a gossip
and getting your foot stuck in your mouth.
Imagine the person you've admired from afar for so long
finally strikes up a conversation with you
and you end up saying something stupid.
It can be a real turnoff sometimes.
People who are careful to think before they speak,
on the other hand, come off as more intelligent, mysterious,
sensitive, and sophisticated.
You say just enough to pique their interest.
So they'll want to engage more with you.
Number five, you're a good listener.
Similar to the last point,
being a good listener is a quality
a lot of people find attractive,
especially in a world where it seems like
everyone is always trying to give
their two cents about everything.
There's something nice and refreshing
about someone who doesn't just listen to respond
or who isn't just waiting for their turn to talk.
Being a good listener
makes the people you're talking to feel more validated,
appreciated, and attended to.
It shows them that unlike a lot of people out there,
you're not just preoccupied with yourself
but care about other people too.
You are a giving and empathetic person,
and this can make you more attractive than you think.
Number six, you easily make friends.
Another thing you may do that you might not realize
makes you more attractive to other people
is your easy ability to converse and make friends.
After all, who wouldn't be attracted to someone
who makes everyone else
just naturally gravitate towards them.
Warm, friendly, and easy to get along with,
people will no doubt find you more attractive
the more likable you make yourself seem.
Number seven, you take care of others.
Are you always there for people you care about?
A true and generous friend,
you take care of your friends when they're not feeling well,
cheer them up when they're down,
and support them through everything.
Loyalty like that is hard to come by.
And that's what makes you so attractive.
You give so much of yourself,
your time, energy, and attention
so freely that the people around you can't help
but feel lucky to know you and have you in their lives.
And number eight, you compliment others.
Finally, but perhaps most importantly,
there's nothing more attractive
than someone who makes other people feel attractive too.
Saying kind words and giving compliments
can warm everyone's hearts, and lets them know
that they can always turn to you for comfort or support
when the going gets tough.
And you know what's most attractive of all?
That you don't buy into the misguided idea
that we should all be competing with each other
and that you need to push other people down
just to raise yourself up.
So kindness is by far the most attractive quality of all.
Have you started to realize
that you are more attractive than you think?
