License: Creative Commons<\/a> 1 Embrace a healthy lifestyle. A healthy body is very often considered an attractive trait. This doesn't mean you need to become a body builder or marathon runner. Start by making basic healthy decisions in your everyday life, and take it from there. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can demonstrate maturity and responsibility, which are attractive traits to a potential mate. Studies show that 12% body fat in men, and 20% body fat in women is a good goal to strive for. In men, a 12% body fat ratio increases testosterone levels and boosts immune system.[1] X Research source Women have more body fat than men, and at a 20% ratio, a women's curves are more defined. Eating more fruits and vegetables is a great way to become more vibrant while you diet. Fruits and vegetables are loaded with antioxidants and plant-based pigments, which give skin a healthy glow. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/92\/Be-Attractive-Step-2-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Be-Attractive-Step-2-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/92\/Be-Attractive-Step-2-Version-3.jpg\/aid2487984-v4-728px-Be-Attractive-Step-2-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":" License: Creative Commons<\/a> 2 Get your beauty sleep. No matter how groomed you are, or how much make-up you wear, studies have shown that sleep deprived people look less healthy, more tired, and overall less attractive. Aim to get 8 hours of sleep each night to fight off red eyes, and other symptoms of sleep deprivation.

Health is a huge contributor to overall attractiveness. You will automatically look more attractive if you look both emotionally and physically healthy.[2] X Research source In addition to your diet and exercise, meditation is a powerful tool to relax your mind, lower stress hormones, improve your mood, and clear your skin. Whether it's meditation (focus on your breath), mindfulness (focus on the now), or just paying attention to what is happening in the present moment, these practices will lead you to embody a sense of calm and ease. It's a slight shift with a big impact. Train yourself to be here now and watch how others respond to your aura of grace.

Open body language can be more attractive than any outfit. You can use your body language to convey availability and attractiveness. Don’t cross your arms, don’t check your phone in front of your chest, and don’t hug your purse or hold your glass of wine at your canter. Each of these can convey a closed off, unavailable person. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/9b\/Be-Attractive-Step-6-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Be-Attractive-Step-6-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/9b\/Be-Attractive-Step-6-Version-3.jpg\/aid2487984-v4-728px-Be-Attractive-Step-6-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":" License: Creative Commons<\/a> 2 Show your hands. Generally, when we can’t see someone’s hands, we have difficulty in trusting them. Research shows that a person’s most attractive trait is their availability.[4] X Research source When you are socializing, show people that you want to connect with them by keeping your posture open and available. Don’t put your hands in your pockets, under the table, or in your coat. People may be less likely to open up to you if they can't see your hands. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/56\/Be-Attractive-Step-7-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Be-Attractive-Step-7-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/56\/Be-Attractive-Step-7-Version-3.jpg\/aid2487984-v4-728px-Be-Attractive-Step-7-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":" License: Creative Commons<\/a> 3 Smile.

Good eye contact can communicate more than words. Through eye contact you can express that you are engaged, listening, and in the present.[7] X Expert Source Eddy BallerDating Coach Expert Interview. 7 February 2020. You can show that you care about the individual you are looking at. Avoid looking down or shifting your gaze. This can show that you are uninterested. Sometimes too much eye contact can come off as creepy or weird. Practice holding eye contact for a second longer than you normally would and focus on something, like the color of the persons eyes. This kind of eye contact is more personable. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/8\/88\/Be-Attractive-Step-9-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Be-Attractive-Step-9-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/8\/88\/Be-Attractive-Step-9-Version-3.jpg\/aid2487984-v4-728px-Be-Attractive-Step-9-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":" License: Creative Commons<\/a> 5 Dress to impress.
