Hey everyone, and welcome to TopThink. Today, we will learn twelve surprising habits that
make you more attractive. Now, let’s begin.
There are many ways to be attractive. Psychologists have laid out half a dozen
categories, ranging from physical beauty to emotional closeness. But when we talk
about highly attractive people, certain ineffable qualities pop into our heads.
An attractive person is someone who commands attention when they enter a room.
They’re someone who stirs up feelings of passion and desire in potential partners. An attractive
person isn’t just someone who is good-looking or likable but someone we find alluring and
maybe even irresistible. We’re drawn to how they carry themselves and the way they talk. We have
trouble getting them out of our heads and feel nervous whenever they’re around. Highly attractive
people have a way of making strong physical and psychological impressions on others, which may
explain why we want to be attractive ourselves. When you meet someone who fits this description,
you might wonder what exactly makes them so irresistible. You may assume it’s because of
their natural good looks. There’s no denying that some people are innately better-looking
than others. For example, you might know a guy who is naturally tall and athletic. He
may get attention from potential partners and make strong impressions without doing much of anything.
But not all attractive people are natural beauties. In fact, many of the most desirable
people made themselves attractive by boosting their appearance or transforming their lifestyles.
In many ways, attractiveness is as much a product of your habits and choices as your
innate physical characteristics. Why? Because your habits and choices don’t just affect your
physical appearance. They demonstrate to everyone you meet what kind of person you are. They display
confidence, security, and status. They change how you relate to people and influence the impressions
you create. Sometimes, minor changes to how someone looks, talks, or behaves make you see them
in a different light, turning someone you never noticed before into someone you’ll never forget.
In this video, we’re going to cover twelve habits that may help you transform the way
you’re perceived by yourself and the people you meet. Right now, you may
think of yourself as forgettable or average, but with these simple yet surprising habits,
you can make yourself more attractive. 1. The Power of Facial Expressions
According to a 2011 study in the journal Emotion, changing your facial expression
can make you significantly more attractive. In this study, participants were asked to
rate pictures of male and female faces making different common expressions.
Researchers found that men who smiled with their mouths closed were more attractive.
These men seemed more confident, capable, and desirable to the women in this study,
but the same expression wasn’t as attractive for men rating women. Male participants
preferred female faces with broad, open smiles, evoking emotions like happiness or enthusiasm.
Sometimes, the right smile makes the difference between getting noticed and being overlooked.
2. Build Your Body Into a Machine Do you like the way you look? Many
people are unattractive because they don’t feel attractive in their own skin.
Today, you might not like how you look in the mirror, but daily exercise can boost
your physical confidence, making you feel like a stronger, more attractive version of yourself.
Exercises like running and weightlifting increase your attractiveness for all sorts of
reasons. They affect your body shape and raise your physical fitness. They facilitate muscle
growth and improve the appearance of your hair and skin. On a psychological level, exercising
empowers your confidence, relieves stress, and generally improves your opinion of yourself.
When you look good and feel good, other people will notice. So, squeeze in at least 15 minutes
of cardio, calisthenics, or weight-lifting whenever you can. It doesn’t sound like much,
but this simple fitness routine can build your body into a machine.
3. Alter Your Voice Has anyone ever told you
that you have an attractive voice? Studies show that certain vocal qualities are generally more
desirable in male and female partners. For example, women prefer partners with deeper,
breathier voices, while men generally choose women who speak in higher pitches.
One study from the journal PLOS One found that vocal preferences are typically linked
to perceptions of physical attractiveness. When we hear deeper male voices, we tend to
imagine stronger, more masculine figures. In the same way, higher-pitched voices are
associated with attractive feminine features. If you don’t think your natural voice is
attractive, don’t feel pressured to speak in a completely different voice. Instead,
minor tweaks to your pitch and cadence can make you surprisingly more desirable.
4. The Most Attractive Colors Choosing the right colors can make you
stand out from the crowd and grab the attention of the people you like, but you need to know which
colors work for you. Red is often considered the most attractive color for women by men.
It’s bold and attention-grabbing, and it makes some women appear irresistible.
If you’re a man, you might also wear red as a symbol of status and confidence, though the most
attractive color for men is actually black. To make the most of these attractive shades,
try combining colors in a tasteful way, like a red tie over a black suit. You’ll be surprised how big
of a difference the right colors can make. 5. Sleep Rejuvenation
Studies have shown that a healthy sleep cycle improves your mood and makes you more
attractive. According to a 2010 study, people who sleep well every night look more youthful,
energetic, and happy — all of which are associated with physical attraction.
For example, a good night’s sleep can also make your face appear less wrinkled, keeping your skin
clear and healthy. It turns out that getting your beauty sleep can really improve the way you look.
6. Project Total Confidence
Many people struggle to summon the confidence and self-security we find attractive in others.
But it’s actually a lot simpler than you think. If you want to project confidence,
become your vision of a confident person. By looking attractive and confident,
you’ll feel attractive and confident too. For example, you might wear flattering clothes
that make you feel desirable when looking in the mirror. By putting on those clothes,
you are already creating a more confident persona. In many ways, confidence is a self-fulfilling
prophecy. If you look and act like someone with confidence, real confidence is bound to follow.
7. Embrace Individuality Many people try to enhance
their attractiveness by copying popular styles or attractive celebrities, but this isn’t as
appealing as you think. Instead of copying others, it’s better to focus on what makes you unique.
You may not realize it, but your quirks are often the most attractive things about you. Your quirks
make you memorable and distinct. They separate you from everyone in the world, so don’t be
afraid to stand out. Embrace your individuality, and people will take a greater interest in you.
8. Eye Contact is Key
You may have heard that eye contact makes you likable or persuasive, but did you know it also
increases your physical appeal? This powerful piece of body language works on multiple levels.
It encourages people to really look at your face and notice what’s so attractive about
you. The longer they look at your face, the more familiar and attractive you’ll become.
Eye contact also has a powerful social and psychological effect on people’s emotional
state. Every time your eyes meet, you share an intimate moment, which creates chemistry and
deepens your connection. You naturally feel drawn to each other, developing tension that
often manifests as romantic desire. At face value, making eye contact with someone is a
simple thing to do, but few forms of body language leave such powerful impressions.
9. Speak Your Mind Freely You might think it’s attractive
to do favors for the people you like, but it’s often more attractive to turn them down.
In general, we have more respect for people who speak their minds. We’re drawn to people who
do what they want to do and avoid the things they don’t. That doesn’t mean you should say
no to everything. Simply be honest about your feelings. If something doesn’t interest you,
don’t be afraid to say no. Because this kind of honesty is more attractive than you realize.
10. Stand Like You Mean It The way you stand has a significant impact
on others’ perceptions of your attractiveness. People who stand straight and tall are seen as
more confident and secure. On the other hand, people who slouch appear more nervous and,
therefore, unattractive. It may sound like a simple change, but standing or
sitting a little straighter can instantly give your appearance a much-needed boost.
11. The Magic of Retinol Do you have unwanted wrinkles,
blemishes, or skin imperfections? The health of your skin has a significant impact on the
way people perceive you. Rough, wrinkled skin can make you look old and tired, while smooth
skin makes anyone look young and attractive. To quickly improve the health of your skin,
try one of the many products containing an ingredient called retinol. Unlike other chemicals,
retinol binds to receptors in your cells and stimulates new growth, leading to smoother skin.
You don’t need to spend hours caring for your skin every morning,
but a simple routine with the right products can make you more attractive than you think.
12. Scent Matters More Than You Think Physical attractiveness involves each of
the five senses, including the ones we don’t usually consider. For example, an attractive
fragrance can create intense feelings of desire at a biological level. Scent is such a powerful
character that some women swear a man’s smell is more important than his appearance. You may
never have considered how your scent affects your love life, but if someone likes how you smell,
you’ll have a hard time keeping them away. Thank you for watching TopThink and be
