When it comes to true attraction, it's no surprise that appearance matters.
But there's more to "attraction" than meets the eye.
While studies have revealed that a person's attraction to others is based on many different
factors, it's important to recognize the behaviors that are proven to attract people the most!
Let's begin at the beginning and get...
Back to basics
Look, we all know that when you're fully listening to another person, you're showing them that
what they’re saying is meaningful, significant, and important to you.
And — newsflash — people like that.
And we know that it’s just good manners to act in a kind, giving, and considerate
way toward others.
And yes, of course a mega-watt smile won’t do you any harm.
And if you’ve got a great laugh?
Not only is it the "best medicine," but laughing together is a great way to create a bond,
fast.
But if you’ve got all this on lock, what’s left?
Well, you’ll definitely wanna stash a few of these tricks up your sleeve…
"You’re a beautiful woman, you deserve a beautiful life.
That’s all there is to it."
Body language
Pay attention to a person's verbal and nonverbal cues, as well as their body language.
You're not only listening to what this person's saying to you, but how they’re saying it.
To really be attractive, alluring, and eye-catching to another person, listen with your eyes as
well as your ears.
"I can read your body language"
Even try rephrasing what the person has just said when you respond.
Not only does this directly show the speaker that you are fully committed to listening
to what they’ve said, it builds a sense of intimacy, empathy, and understanding — because
you're showing that you want to completely get them.
"The PS4 uses cool new GDDR5 ram, while the XBox One is still using the conventional DDR3
memory.”
"Why would they still be using DDR3, are they nuts?"
Trust me
Being trustworthy helps you create deep and meaningful relationships with others on a
more intimate level.
A study from the University of Pennsylvania revealed that when it comes to behaviors people
want in their friends and friendships, trust was key — much more than being physically
attractive.
Since trust, honesty, and dependability are core to any relationship, it's not surprising
that being trustworthy is crucial in the business world as well.
Even corporations are rated on their trustworthiness, since this rating is meant to attract potential
employees and customers, as well as investors.
If you're looking to invest in a real relationship, being 100 percent trustworthy is an important
step.
"Did I not clearly explain the circle of trust to you, Greg?"
"Yeah, I think I got it.”
The smell of sweetness
While the smell of your body's natural pheromones plays a role in attraction, there are ways
that you can enhance your vibe.
The trick?
Smell like vanilla.
"It smells like sunshine.”
It’s a universally pleasant aroma, and it even has the power to elicit happy memories
from your childhood.
People will automatically be more attracted to you simply because of the happy buzz your
scent will trigger inside of them.
It's also been shown that when people catch a whiff of vanilla, it helps them to feel
more calm and comfortable.
As noted in the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, the scent of vanilla can help to
reduce stress and anxiety, which further demonstrates why it makes you more appealing to others!
Lady in red
While wearing sexy, body-hugging outfits can turn heads, there's actually a more colorful
way for you to attract others.
Research from the University of Rochester revealed that men are way more attracted to
women wearing red.
The study demonstrated that men were more sexually interested in these women, and were
even more inclined to ask them out or spend more money on them during a date.
There's even research showing that men are more likely to give higher tips to waitresses
who are wearing red.
"Red rocks me, red, it’s dynamite"
So, what’s up with the color red?
Well, it might come down to science.
In the animal world, "red" displays sexual maturity, sexual power, and even fertility.
And in humans, a woman's face becomes redder while she's ovulating.
The color red is also associated with being sexually aroused, since our cheeks and bodies
appear more flushed when sexually excited.
So if you're truly looking to draw others in, it’s code red.
Stat.
"Hey you with the red dress on, I gotta find a way to take it off."
Slay
Confidence is extremely important in both your personal and professional life, and it
plays a major role in attraction.
Believing in yourself, and having high self-esteem are at the core of being appealing and attractive
to other people.
As noted in a study in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, when people felt more
confident, others rated them as appearing more physically attractive.
After all, if someone is projecting self-loathing and self-doubt, others are more likely going
to be put off.
On the flip side, when someone is confident and self-assured, others will be drawn to
this person and feed off of that positive energy.
"Do you need some of my confidence, because I could maybe tone mine down a notch."
Eye on the clock
It might not seem like much, but when you're on time to meet people, it shows that you
respect them, that you value their time, and that you're able to make and keep commitments
and promises.
If you're constantly running late, you're actually demonstrating that your time's more
valuable than theirs, that you haven't made them a priority, and that you don't truly
care about their needs, feelings, or concerns.
If you're looking to attract others, being on time is an easy way to show that you're
considerate, respectful, and that you truly value them.
If being on time isn't your thing, you can still make it happen.
Make a to-do list, delegate tasks, prioritize your responsibilities, and, girl, plan ahead.
Gettin’ furry with it
Research has shown that you’re far more enticing when you’re out with a pet, as
animals often magnetize people together.
Bust out those four-footed friends!
So, it's not surprising that pet ownership can play a big part in attracting potential
dates and romantic partners, both online and in person, as is discussed in the journal
Anthrozoös.
Many singles use their cats and dogs as a way to get the attention of other possible
suitors.
When someone interacts favorably with their pets, that person appears even more appealing
and attractive.
"This is Raffles, he’s a service dog."
“What’s the service he provides?”
"He’s an anti-anxiety dog."
Pets have also been shown to help decrease stress and anxiety, lower your blood pressure,
and reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease — and improve your overall mood, temperament,
and well-being.
Pet-love can, of course, translate to people-love!
"YES!”
