5 Ways to Be More Attractive

Let's face it - in order to attract someone from afar, it helps to be easy on the eyes. But being attractive is highly subjective for most people looking for love. Not everyone has the same "type," and not even the most conventionally "hot" person will appeal to everyone. But there are some across-the-board things anyone can do to make themselves that much more physically attractive to others. The way you think about yourself and the confidence you have in yourself have a huge impact on how others view you. Body language that exudes confidence definitely makes you more attractive. Make an effort to keep your head up and make eye contact with potential mates. Locking eyes with someone from across the room lets the person know you're interested in him or her and that it's OK to approach you. Likewise, good posture conveys confidence and grace and helps you make that eye contact instead of diverting your eyes down to the floor.
Good posture also helps take a few pounds off visually. Putting your shoulders back and straightening your spine makes you taller and slimmer-looking.  Consider what clothing makes you feel comfortable and confident in your closet, even if they're an old, faded pair of jeans. The clothes you wear when you're on the search for a mate should make you feel that way, not uncomfortable, vulnerable or sloppy. And speaking of sloppy, pay attention to detail when it comes to your appearance. Of course you'll take care of the big stuff - hairstyle, clothing, makeup, etc. - but how much time did you devote to the little things like your hands, skin and accessories? Bitten hangnails, ragged nails and dry skin can convey apathy and just not caring. So can broken-out skin or improperly applied makeup. Who would want to hold hands or touch that face? You've heard the phrase, "you are what you eat," and it's true. What you put into your body will show on the outside, so eat well, get lots of rest and exercise. You'll get a natural, beautiful glow in no time.
