It's not that complicated. If you want to appear more attractive to others, or specifically someone you are interested in, then we have great news for you. Science and researchers have discovered nine ways that you can use to make yourself appear more attractive either for your own well being or to impress someone else.
9 Supposed Ways For Men To Be More Attractive
#1 Look Away!
Researchers have found that 80% of attractiveness is all related to facial symmetry and is something coveted by a potential partner.
#2 Symmetrical Faces Do Best
Some of the most attractive people in history have near perfectly symmetrical faces. Everyone from Brad Pitt, Halle Berry, George Clooney, Shania Twain, to Bradley Cooper and Matt Damon, have symmetrical features.
#3 No Scruff Allowed
Symmetry in appearance is even considered in facial hair. If a man has a beard that is patchy, uneven, and ungroomed, it becomes less attractive. One that is even on both sides is the most appealing to people who admire beards.
#4 Axe The Scents
Cologne and body spray can actually play a huge role in attraction as humans use their sense of smell to determine whether or not they are interested in someone else. But it can be difficult to get the proper balance.
#5 Don't Overdo It
A woman's nose can actually detect thousands of tiny smells and can pick up scents that we aren't even consciously aware of. They can be attracted to a guy who triggers certain pheromones in their body and can be turned on by a manly scent or a light cologne. Notice we said 'light' cologne. If you use too much of it then you'll overpower the senses and turn a potential partner completely off.
#6 Smile If You're Husband Material
The latest study shows that people who are looking for a potential long-term partner will most likely choose someone who has the brightest and biggest, welcoming smile.
#7 Be Welcoming And Warm
A smiling face is seen as someone who is more compassionate and understanding than one who is solemn and grumpy. Our brains desire warmness and happiness as a long-term priority over smoldering looks and desires that are sexy for casual encounters.
#8 Ladies Like 'Em Tall
Sadly for shorter guys, when a female is seeking a long-term partner, she normally looks for someone who is taller than she is. This is not 100% accurate, but in most cases, it is the most likely scenario. One tip for shorter men is to wear a slight heel in your shoe or lifts if you're self-conscious of your stature. Confidence is even greater than height is.
#9 Stop Slouching
On a subconscious level, the posture of someone plays a great part when looking for a partner. This is because it brings out various thoughts and messages that you didn't know you were having.
#10 Standing Tall Shows Confidence
A slouched and slumped over posture shows that you are either shy and withdrawn or weak and lacking in confidence. Slouching also makes you appear shorter, whereas standing straight and tall shows confidence and pride and makes you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
#11 Try To Look Like A Human Shape
Women are attracted to men in shape and sadly for most of us, that shape is not round. Women preferred a man with a classic V cut shape over any other build in a survey conducted by a popular magazine. Men's fashion experts suggest that to appear more attractive if you are just slightly out of shape, invest in a tailored suit, blazer, or dress jacket that will create a V neckline that will give the appearance of broader shoulders and a flatter tummy.
#12 Women Prefer Smooth Guys
When shown photographs of men with different physical traits, a group of 500 women preferred men with little to no body hair. Sad, but true, the manly image of a burly and hirsute man is no longer attractive. Ratings for attractiveness decreased as the amount of body hair increased.
#13 Start Sculpting Your Body
For those guys who want to impress a modern woman, Men's Health suggests that a man should shave the night before a big date, wax a few days earlier, or start investigating hair removal trends in general.
#14 It's Not Okay To Be Out Of Shape If You're Trying To Date
If you're not looking for a long-term relationship and are enjoying dating around, it's time to invest in a gym membership. Researchers have found that women looking for a one night fling are more attracted to muscular or in shape men rather than one who has a 'normal' physique.
#15 You Can Do It
Fortunately, if you're willing to put in regular sweat sessions and eat healthier, a cut body is an achievable goal for most guys. However, be careful, as not to overdo it. The same research has shown that women prefer 'toned'men more than they do overly muscled gym rats.
#16 Moody Guys Get More Booty
In another study, both men and women were asked to study photographs of people in terms of carnal sexual attraction rather than for long-term potential, and 85% of them preferred someone who is broody or intense rather than someone who was smiling and extroverted. So if you're looking for something short-term or a one night fling, being a little moody might make things easier.
