When we talk about attraction between two people, we often refer to physical factors, everything that may seem pleasing to the eye. But being attractive is more than just looking.
"Beauty lies in the eyes of the viewer. ”- Plato.
Aside from the biological perspective that says we are more likely to choose partners based on traits that indicate they are healthy and able to reproduce (Weeden and Sabini, 2005), we are constantly influenced by our culture and beauty standards. presented by the media.
No wonder we often tend to be shallow and create the perfect partner in our minds, based solely on physical characteristics.
It’s easy to be distracted by beauty, but have you ever seen someone who was gorgeous and felt zero attraction to him?
This is because being attractive also implies other factors that we may or may not consciously perceive that make someone absolutely irresistible even if they are not the perfect candidates for a Miss / Mister Universe pageant.
What makes you more attractive despite your appearance?
1. You are happy and you know it.
Happiness and enthusiasm can be seen and felt at first sight and people are drawn to it. We love those who spread their enthusiasm and good humor.
A smile works wonders for your overall appearance and for the people around you. So if you are the type of person who always has a smile on their face, you are probably more attractive than you think.
2. Have self-confidence.
People judge us the moment we enter a room and the brain decides if we are attracted to someone for a few seconds. The most beautiful thing you can wear is faith.
When you look like you know where you are going, people will admire you. Your level of confidence in who you are is something that people see as irresistible.
3. Have a good sense of humor.
When two people are laughing at the same joke, it means they share the same point of view. It is easier for people to like you if you can make them laugh, as you can make them feel more comfortable around you.
Just make sure your jokes are tasteful. While it is ridiculous for some, excessive humor can often be perceived as unpleasant.
4. You are a polite person.
Some personality traits are reflected in our facial expressions and kindness is one of them. Eyes are windows to our souls.
Of course, we can not always say that someone is polite just by looking at their face. This is more of a sensation than a scientific fact. However, being a good person can make people perceive you as more attractive.
So attraction is not just about a beautiful face or a good body, but what we want emotionally from another person, those qualities that reflect beauty from the inside out.
