Everyone wants to look hot, but not everyone knows how to get there. If that sounds like you, then use these easy physical attraction tips to impress anyone.
When it comes to knowing how to be physically attractive or even how to impress someone you like, the honest truth is that your personality always trumps physical attraction.
But that doesn’t mean we should overlook appearances. Presents always look better gift-wrapped, and the odds of someone giving you a second glance also increase when you look better on the outside.
You might think you are stuck with the looks you are born with, and in a way, that’s true.
However, it’s important to work with what you’ve got, know your best features, and understand that being attractive isn’t just about the prettiest face or best body in the room.
Learning to increase your physical attraction doesn’t always mean adjusting your physical appearance in any way!
Psychology of attraction
We all know attraction when we feel it. But why do we feel it? What are the components that factor into whether or not we are attracted to a particular person or not? [Read: How to look really good while trying to catch someone’s attention]
There are many types of attraction – not just physical. So, let’s go over them.
1. Physical attraction
The first and most obvious sign of attraction is physical attraction. We all know what that is. Some people might not think it’s not that important, but it is.
It may not give you “forever love,” but it’s usually the first thing that pulls you toward someone.
For most people, if there isn’t physical attraction to another person, then they aren’t likely to get into a romantic relationship with them. [Read: Why is physical attraction important in a relationship?]
2. Platonic attraction
Most people think this is the “friend zone.” But platonic attraction is the desire to have a relationship with someone that isn’t sexual.
In other words, it’s just based on friendship and non-romantic love. This form of attraction is felt for friends and even family members because you don’t have any sexual desire for any of them, but you still are connected to them.
3. Aesthetic attraction
Some people get physical attraction and aesthetic attraction confused. But there is one key difference. Aesthetic attraction is being attracted to someone’s physical appearance simply because you appreciate their beauty. [Read: Thick women redefining beauty – setting a new generation free!]
This isn’t necessarily linked to sexual or romantic attraction, although it can be.
4. Emotional attraction
Emotional attraction is a deep feeling of connection to someone else. You can think someone is totally hot, but you might not feel any emotional attraction to them if they are a jerk.
Or maybe you don’t find someone overly physically attractive, but yet somehow you are drawn to them emotionally.
This is the “pulling at your heartstrings” type of attraction, and it’s the kind that can bond people together for a lifetime. [Read: Emotional attraction – 22 signs you have it and why it’s essential]
5. Intellectual attraction
Intellectual attraction sometimes gets confused with emotional attraction. However, they are a little different.
When you have an intellectual attraction for someone, you’re interested in their thoughts and opinions on a wide variety of topics. You can have long conversations about anything and never be bored by them because you are fascinated by their mind.
6. Sensual attraction
This sounds like it should be the same as physical attraction, but it’s not. Sensual attraction is the desire for physical contact with another person, but not necessarily in a sexual way. [Read: Why is inner beauty more important than outer beauty?]
If you’re sensually attracted to someone, then you want to touch, hug, cuddle, or massage them. You have the desire to be physically close to them.
How do I know if I’m attractive?
This may sound like a silly question because most people would say, “just look in the mirror, and you’ll know!” But it isn’t always that simple.
There are plenty of attractive people in the world who don’t know they’re attractive. And there are also some unattractive people who think that they are more attractive than they actually are. [Read: What makes a woman attractive? 30 traits that scream hot stuff]
So, here are some signs that other people find you attractive.
1. You get compliments
If you find that people are always complimenting you on how pretty/handsome you are, then that’s a clear sign. However, it can be more subtle, too, like saying they like your hair, your eyes, or the clothes you are wearing.
2. People flirt with you
Sometimes it’s difficult to distinguish between flirting and friendliness.
But if you find a pattern where the opposite sex seems to be overly friendly with you on a regular basis, then they are probably flirting with you because you are attractive. [Read: Friendly vs. flirty – 34 subtle flirting signs to tell if someone is flirting with you]
3. People ask you out
If people are asking you out on dates, well, that’s because they find you physically attractive, right?
Sure, it could also be your sparkling personality, but in that case, they could just be your friend if they didn’t think you were hot.
4. People are surprised if you’re single
When you’re single – whether by choice or circumstance – people are shocked to hear that you’re not in a relationship or married. They feel this way because they can’t imagine why an attractive person wouldn’t be in a romantic relationship.
5. Some people seem jealous of you
Perhaps you have some co-workers who give you the stink eye from time to time. Or you hear through the grapevine that some people have been badmouthing you. [Read: 25 signs to tell if someone is jealous of you and doesn’t wish you well]
Well, unless you really are a jerk, it could be because they are jealous that you’re so attractive.
6. People tell you that you’re attractive
This is the most obvious sign that you are attractive. Whether it’s random people telling you how hot you are or the people who ask you out on a date, you can be sure that you’re attractive if people are telling you.
Physical attraction and sex appeal
Physical attraction is a person’s ability to create a sexual desire in someone else. [Read: How to increase sex appeal and 31 secrets of subtle sexual provocation]
If you’re physically attractive, you’d find it easier to attract someone you like, at least for the first conversation.
But by no means does it mean that physically attractive people have better relationships or are better lovers. [Read: 34 things that turn a guy on sexually when he sees a girl]
Everyone has their own expectations when it comes to physical attraction. And what you have to remember about physical attraction is that you can’t please everyone or attract everyone, no matter how hard you try.
To actually win someone over and make them like you, focus on your personality. It’ll give you a much better chance of attracting people over the long term. [Read: 52 traits that turn a girl on sexually and otherwise about a guy]
Physical attraction, dates, and love
If you consider yourself to be physically attractive, you’d feel more confident in your ability to attract the opposite sex.
And as much as personality matters in a relationship, your attractiveness plays a bigger part when exchanging stolen glances for the first time.
When you meet someone on a blind date, wouldn’t you make an assumption about the person you’re on the date with even before both of you exchange the first sentence? [Read: Signs you’re ruining your first date unknowingly]
If that isn’t the effect of physical attraction, then what is?
Physical attraction and your perception
To truly understand how you can improve your physical attractiveness and attract people, you need to understand its role in your life and how it affects your behavior.
If you were in a room and an attractive person of the same gender as yours walked in, do you feel threatened by their presence? [Read: Attraction theory – what it is, 4 factors that make you desirable to others]
If you feel uncomfortable or threatened each time someone attractive walks in, you’re putting yourself down through your body language.
When you feel convinced that the other person is better looking and more eye-catching than you are, you feel weaker, more helpless, and more annoyed, especially if the one you’re trying to impress appears to be giving this good-looker all their attention.
And when you feel weaker in front of another person you perceive as better looking, you lose your confidence, and you end up ruining the odds of impressing the one you like. [Read: The reason behind why inner beauty makes you more attractive than outer beauty]
Physical attractiveness is a perception, and you’re the only one who can convince you whether you’re attractive or bad-looking.
It’s all in your head, and how attractive you look starts and ends with your own perception of your physical appearance.
Physical attraction and interactions
If you’re physically attractive, you may intimidate people more easily. People you interact with for the first time may be wary of you because they may assume you’re too full of yourself. [Read: Psychology of attraction – 6 types and the ones that make you fall in love]
But the very second you smile or speak warmly to them, they open up and get warmer toward you.
Attractive people with warm personalities are always liked and admired by everyone else. If you find someone attractive and are having a conversation with them for the first time, you’d find it harder to lie to them or talk rudely to them.
In fact, when a friendly person you find attractive walks up to you, you’d instinctively show off your best side and speak in a flirty manner, even if your partner is around! [Read: 15 obvious signs of flirting between a guy and a girl]
Physical attractiveness can make your world a friendlier place, but it can’t give you love. After all, only the young and the careless fall head over heels in love solely on grounds of physical attraction.
But with all that said and done, physical attractiveness does matter, whether you’re in love or still looking for love. It gives you the second glance you need to attract someone, and it shows people you respect yourself and take care of yourself. And honestly, not much is more desirable than self-respect and self-care.

1. Look your best
It’s harsh but true; appearances do matter. After all, physical attractiveness relies solely on outward appearances. If you love yourself and care about the image you’re portraying to the world, you will look your best at all times.
How you look plays a very big part in physical attraction. But physical attraction isn’t always about being cute. It’s about creating sexual desire. [Read: 25 different ways to get motivated to work out and stick to it]

3. Keep your wardrobe updated
Having good dress sense also makes all the difference when it comes to finding someone attractive or not.
You don’t have to look like you walked straight off the catwalk but learning what looks good on you, what flatters your shape and having your own unique sense of style really makes a difference. [Read: The hotness decoder – How to know if someone finds you attractive]
Dress in clothes that look good on you and accentuate your assets. Do you have a favorite pair of jeans? You probably like it because you feel it makes you look better than your other jeans.
This may give you a yardstick to choose other clothes that can help you appear more attractive.
4. Don’t feel threatened
Just believe in yourself. Do you feel threatened each time someone who looks good walks into the room?
If you feel threatened or self-conscious around attractive people, you’ll never feel bigger or better than them. [Read: Why am I so insecure? 29 reasons and ways to feel more secure from within]
5. Stop comparing yourself
We’re all perfect in our own way. You don’t have to be skinny, more full-figured, muscular, or leaner just to look better than someone else.
You are who you are, so work around your flaws to be the best you can be. Comparing yourself with someone else constantly will not help you, nor will it make you look any better. [Read: 15 ways to make yourself more sexy and desirable]
6. Don’t reveal your insecurity
Do you force your partner to avoid looking at someone attractive? Or do you yell at them when their eyes keep scanning the room toward another attractive person?
If you do, that just reveals your insecurity. If you show your partner just how insecure you are around another attractive person, your partner will also start believing that you’re not very attractive! [Read: Why am I so insecure? 29 signs and ways to deal with insecurity and feel secure]
Along the same lines, don’t bitch about an attractive person’s appearance. It only reveals your own insecurities when it comes to appearances.

Get a good night’s rest every night, and avoid surrounding yourself with negative people. When you feel positive about life, you’ll start to feel more positive about yourself.
Eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables every day, and your skin will start to glow with a naturally attractive radiance within a few weeks.
10. Pamper yourself
Have you ever noticed someone on the street with that *rich person glow*? They appear rich and look exceptionally well-dressed, even if they’re just wearing jeans and a tee.
Why is that? Well, for starters, they respect their body and take care of them.
Work out, eat well, and, irrespective of whether you’re a guy or a girl, pamper yourself with beauty products. The more you take care of your skin and your body, the more attractive you’ll appear. [Read: How to look rich – 40 ways to look like you’re rolling in cash]
11. Be mysterious
An air of mysteriousness about you always makes you seem more attractive and sexy. Don’t reveal all too soon when you’re talking to someone for the first time.
If you’re too enthusiastic and eager to please when you meet someone, you’ll lose the aura of mysteriousness that can make you appear a lot more attractive.
12. Eye contact
Making eye contact is one of the best ways to increase physical attraction and build sexual tension with the person you like.
Make strong eye contact and look right into their eyes while speaking with them. Good eye contact makes you appear confident, and that makes you more sexually appealing. [Read: Subtle eye contact flirting tips that always work]
13. Grooming habits
Physical attraction is all about the details. Dress well, groom yourself, and shower regularly.
Clean, supple hands and a well-groomed appearance always make you seem more likable and attractive.
14. Smile and laugh
People like to be around others who are happy and like to have fun. So, if you are someone who doesn’t smile much *or have many facial expressions at all*, then you should work on that. [Read: Fun and flirty ways to make eye contact with someone]
Smiling makes you appear open, friendly, and warm. People’s faces light up when they smile. So, don’t think that looking sullen and sultry gets you anywhere.
Bare your pearly whites instead. If you don’t like your smile, there are many options for treatment to straighten and whiten them, which could really boost your self-confidence. [Read: Baby steps to smile more and change your life for the good]
Laugh at other people’s jokes and tell a few of your own. Be light-hearted, and people will find you much more attractive.
15. Get in shape
While physical attractiveness isn’t all about how you look, as we discussed above, it certainly plays a big part – at least initially. So, if you are not in good shape, then that is a great place to improve upon.
Lose some weight, go to the gym, and get healthy. You don’t have to look like a supermodel, but at least try to be at your ideal weight for your height. [Read: 22 honest secrets to look good naked and feel great from within]
16. Eat right
Nutrition affects our body more than you know – and a lack of it can make us look unattractive. So, if you’re eating fast food every day and hardly eat any fruits and vegetables, you should re-think your eating habits.
Your body needs vitamins and minerals to look and feel its best. So, don’t deprive yourself of that, and it will show in your attractiveness to other people. [Read: A lover’s must-know guide to eating well]
17. Open body language
Body language accounts for 80-90% of the messages that we express to other people, especially when it comes to physical attraction.
So, it’s no surprise that body language also plays a huge part in whether other people find you attractive.
Therefore, you want to make sure that you have open body language. In other words, don’t close yourself up by crossing your arms and legs.
If you do, you will send the message that you are not open to any romantic gestures from other people. [Read: Why don’t guys hit on me? 21 secrets to be way more approachable instantly]
18. Your walk
Someone’s walk can either be a turn-on or a turn-off. If you walk with your head down and your shoulders slumped, then you look like you have low self-esteem, which is not attractive to most people.
You should walk with your head held high to look like you’re exuding confidence.
You don’t have to change the whole way that you walk, but just be more mindful and make sure that you don’t look like Eyore from Winnie the Pooh! [Read: How to dress sexy – 29 subtle and classy ways to make them lust for you]
19. Gestures
When people use a lot of gestures, it’s usually because they are animated and friendly. These are the kinds of people that others naturally are attracted to and appear to be higher up on the physical attraction scale.
So, if you’re the kind of person who practically sits on their hands when you talk, try to switch that up and be a little more lively when you are having a conversation.
20. Be positive
One of the things that make people the most attractive is being happy and positive. No one likes being around a “Debbie Downer” or an energy vampire. That’s not attractive at all.
So, talk about positive things, and don’t go around complaining. The more you talk positively, the more people you will attract. [Read: 17 ways to experience positive vibes and welcome it into your life]

Having a large group of friends makes you appear super popular and, therefore, more attractive to the opposite sex. Research shows that the ‘cheerleader effect’ works for both guys and girls.
That is, if you are in a big pack of people of the same sex, you tend to all appear more attractive than if you kept a close-knit circle of friends.
25. Be confident
Being confident is a very attractive quality. You can have the most average face, but if you walk into the room and own it, it is very attractive. Someone who believes in themselves and owns it is highly attractive to those around them. [Read: How to gain confidence and turn your life around]
26. Be open
Being open and honest is another attractive quality. By being friendly and sharing your feelings and stories with others, they feel as though you confide in them, which naturally brings the pair of you closer together.

People want to be around others who are kind and will help them out when they need it. Being kind is absolutely something that will add to your all-round attractiveness.
33. Relax

That is easier said than done, but invest some time into stress-reducing hobbies and you’ll find yourself drawing people in without you knowing it! [Read: Easy mantras that will change your life]
34. Don’t cry
Crying too much, whether a guy or a girl, can actually be quite off-putting. Obviously, if it’s appropriate to cry it’s fine, but don’t go overboard. Otherwise, you quickly turn the other person off. Imagine how you’d feel in you approached someone in a bar and, all of sudden, they started crying. Talk about awkward!

No one likes someone fake. Be sure you are genuine and not only will you naturally appear more attractive, you’ll also be a better person overall.

47. Take care of yourself
You don’t have to be a perfect size two, have the perfect features, or have curves and definition. The key to your attractiveness is taking care of yourself like you like who you are.
After all, there is something very attractive about a person who is comfortable in their own skin and takes care of themselves. It says, “I like me and you should too.”
48. Be successful

Believe it or not, a lot of people find this quality very sexy in another person. It might make them admire you or perhaps give them the subconscious feeling that you could keep them safe.
52. Do volunteer work
When you do volunteer work, it shows that you have empathy for other people *or even animals.* Empathy is the ability to feel what other people feel and see situations from their perspective, not just your own.
No one likes selfish people, so volunteering your time to help others is a very attractive quality to most people. Find a cause you believe in and then people will admire you for it. [Read: Ways volunteer work can help heal depression]
53. Stop trying to look model-thin
Most women think that they need to look like a supermodel for men to find them attractive. Not only is this not true, but many men also don’t like women who are overly skinny.
So, don’t try to make your body into something that it’s not. Love your body regardless of its shape or form. Focus on your confidence, and then people will find you attractive no matter what body type you have.
54. Get the right haircut
You should never underestimate the importance of hair when it comes to physical attraction.
Many men like long hair on women because it makes them look more feminine. But a nice style that compliments your face shape is important too. [Read: 31 hot secrets to be beautiful and look and feel way more attractive in no time!]

55. Relax your face
While having animated gestures can make you look more attractive, sometimes relaxing your face can have the same effect. People don’t always need to appear charismatic and outgoing to be attractive.
Relaxing your face can bring a sense of mystery or sexiness to you at times. But you have to do it in the right situation. If you’re in a group of people who are partying, that might not be the right time.
Do it in a more romantic and relaxed atmosphere. [Read: Body language attraction – 58 male and female signs and how to read and use it]
The don’ts of attractiveness
Now let’s talk about what makes you unattractive.
1. Being gross
It is not attractive at all to be gross. Sure, “gross” is all in the eye of the beholder, but spitting, dipping, farting whenever you feel like it, and belching without any hesitation are all generally unattractive things.
If you are hot, doing those things can make you not. [Read: How to date a girl – steps every Prince Charming must follow]
2. Having a foul mouth
Swearing just makes you sound ignorant and unattractive. When you talk offensively or have a foul mouth, you make people around you uncomfortable, which doesn’t attract people to you.
There is a time for locker room talk; namely, in the locker room. Save the cuss words for guys’ or girls’ night, not when you are out in the general public.
3. Smoking
Yep, if you see a hot girl or guy and they start to light up, you can instantly lose attraction for them. [Read: 33 BIG dating deal breakers for women that make a girl decline or reject a guy]
Smoking is not attractive for almost the entire population. It does not make you look cool, and it smells bad. Those are all not things that scream attractiveness.
4. Poor self-grooming
If you can’t take a shower before you hit the club, you can have the best body in the world, but no one will know because they won’t want to be close to you.
If you don’t do the basics to make yourself smell better than a farm animal, that is so not attractive! [Read: Sexual market value and the biggest factors that play a part]
5. Rudeness
Nothing ruins physical attraction more than being rude to other people. If you are rude and don’t care about other people’s feelings, that is a huge turnoff.
People who treat the wait staff like their own personal slaves, are non-appreciative, or just feel like everyone was put on earth to serve them are unattractive – period. It is purely ugly to be ugly to people.
6. Negativity
Negative people aren’t much fun to be around. If you can’t ever see the bright side of things or you tend to make a bad situation worse, then you aren’t someone that people want to be around. [Read: How to stop negative people from sapping your energy]
You are someone who people avoid. If you have nothing nice to say ever, no one wants to hear from you.
7. Arrogance
Confidence is attractive, but arrogance is not. There is a fine line between being confident and being cocky.
If you cross over it, you aren’t attracting anyone to want to be around you, and likely, you are driving people away. Stop thinking you are awesome and come back down to earth where the rest of us live. [Read: Confident or cocky? 16 subtle signs that split an arrogant and modest man]
