10 suprising habits that make you more attractive

Have you ever wondered, what makes you or other people attractive? 

 Do you believe that attraction is purely based on physical attributes?

 Maybe you think it has to do with your height, the colour of your eyes, or how sharp your jawline is, but attraction is actually much deeper than just your physical characteristics. Instead, other attributes and habits can play a part in how attractive you are. Your personality, mannerisms, talking habits and body language can affect how much others are attracted to you. 

 So here are 10 surprising habits which may make you more attractive. Before we begin, we would like to mention that this article is for educational purposes only, and not designed to suggest that only these traits are considered attractive. Everybody is different and experiences attraction

 differently.

 1. you're curious about everything. 

 Do you enjoy learning about how things work? Do you often ask yourself why people behave the way they do? Being curious about the world and having a willingness to learn about how things work shows others that you're open to new opportunities and experiences, which is an attractive trait. 

 2. you make time for yourself. 

 Do you dedicate time to pursue the things that make you happy? People who are constantly busy doing things they genuinely enjoy, usually end up becoming more successful than those who treat their time as if it's worth nothing. 

 This may be because, having your own goals, passions and dreams, that are separate from anyone and anything else shows that you're motivated and aware of your own abilities and not dependent on others.

 3. open body language and mirroring.

 Do you always look away or cross your arms when you're talking with others? This type of closed body language can be off-putting, instead, direct eye contact, open body language, and the ability to engage and connect with others can all help to increase perceived attractiveness. Also, according to a study done in the Netherlands, imitating and mimicking someone's movement can actually foster feelings of connectedness, which make you seem more attractive. 

 4. you live in the moment. 

 Are you always aware and present in the moment? According to a study on attractiveness during a speed dating situation, women found men to be more attractive if they measured higher in mindfulness.

 5. you connect deeply with people. 

 Have you ever heard the phrase, "Birds of a feather flock together?" According to Power of Positivity, we're attracted to people similar to us. You may have noticed this most at school. When those with similar interests and hobbies spend most of their time together. The more you connect deeply with others, the more likable attractive you become.

While not everybody should be aiming to look like a supermodel or be the next big boxing champion, both men and women do tend to look out for healthy partners. This attraction to healthy bodies, maybe because healthy partners bring about a higher chance of success at raising healthy children. 

 8. you say thank you.

 Do you thank people when they help you? Perhaps someone held the door open for you on your way to work, or maybe it's the waitress that was serving you at lunch. Saying thank you, is a sign of gratitude and politeness. Not only does it show others that you appreciate their effort, but it also tells others that you're kind and thoughtful, which is an attractive trait.
