8 Subtle Habits That Make You Highly Attractive

They say confidence goes a long way for your attractiveness. To some extent it’s true, but it’s not a cure-all to make yourself look appealing to the eyes of others. There are other subtle and even more manageable ways to attract someone.

Looks, you say? It’s not as important as people think. At least, when you’re trying to find a decent and honest partner.

Physical attractiveness is never enough to maintain a relationship. It can catch the eyes of many, but it shouldn’t be your sole determinant to be in a relationship. What’s the point of looks without substance? Might as well be dating a flower instead.

Instead of focusing on the shallow aspects of attractiveness, tap into the side of yourself that is plenty attractive enough to others. Keep at it or maybe improve on these qualities.

Here are a few traits you may have that subtly make you attractive:

1. Being a Good Listener

What does it take to be a good listener?

It’s being able to empathize and respond appropriately to the conversation. It’s knowing when to add your piece to a conversation and keeping in mind the small details of the story being told.

It takes more than good hearing to listen properly to someone. Your analytical and memorization skills are critical when it comes to listening.

It’s why people feel touched when you remember the small things. They feel valued, therefore increasing your appeal towards them.

2. Having Good Posture

Body language plays a huge role in how you are perceived. Good posture projects an air of confidence, and you’re more likely to be taken seriously because of it.

Standing with your back straight also prevents back problems and improves blood flow. So not only are you increasing your chances of attracting the right partner, but you are looking out for yourself as well.

3. Maintaining Proper Hygiene

Small things such as ironing your clothes or even trimming your nails make a huge difference in your image. Not just your physical image, but the image people have of you in their heads.

They’ll think of you as someone well-maintained and self-reliant. Who wouldn’t find that attractive?

Having fancy clothes or cool shoes doesn’t always attract the right people. Because even if you wear the simplest clothes, as long as it’s neat, you’ll manage to portray a good image towards other people.

4. Being Polite to Wait Staff

“Excuse Me.” “Please?” “Thank You!”

These words, which were drilled into you as a kid as you were taught basic manners, will always put you into the good graces of everyone you meet.

Some people often forget their manners when talking to low-income earners. They treat staff terribly simply because they think they are beneath them.

It doesn’t take a basic etiquette class to know how to treat someone with respect. If a waitress hands you something, say thank you. If you are in need of their services, don’t forget to say please.

It’s little things like this that earn you respect and make people appreciate you. Even when no one is watching, always be polite to these workers.

5. Being Unbothered by the Opinion of Others

Gossip happens just about everywhere. Unless you live alone. Otherwise, everybody is bound to talk.

Sometimes you’ll find yourself as the topic of their conversation, even if you’ve done nothing wrong. Do them better and don’t give them the satisfaction of being angry. Your enemies may be provoking you, waiting for you to snap.

Let their words fall onto deaf ears — it will only make them look pathetic. Besides, you don’t need to prove yourself to the people that don’t matter.

6. Admitting to Your Mistakes

Vulnerability is often thought of as an unattractive personal trait. In reality, people will most probably see you as someone they can confide in.

Like attracts like the same way birds flock together. Because of their similarity, you’ll feel compelled to connect with them.

“To err is human.”

We are not without our flaws. All of us have our shortcomings, but no one likes to admit them. Coming forward with these flaws is seen as exposing your weakness. In truth, it takes a lot of courage to admit to being wrong. This only proves that you aren't afraid to improve yourself, and that’s plenty attractive enough.

7. Making Yourself Approachable

An open body language, smiling when you greet, and a gentle voice — this is what makes a perfect formula to make yourself approachable.

In this era, it is rare to find people who are truly approachable without a hidden agenda. To protect themselves, others always have to put their guards up.

When you display an approachable air, you eliminate their ideas of you being a threat. They’re more likely to walk up to you and strike up a conversation.

8. Maturely Dealing With Stressful Situations

It can be hard to reign in our emotions at times. You just can’t help how you feel. But that’s not a free pass for you to act like a brat just because things aren’t going your way.

People become unattractive when they go ballistic. It makes you seem immature and inexperienced — and this can often put off ideal potential partners.

That doesn’t make it any easier to be the bigger person in an argument. You often have to bow down your pride to deescalate the situation.

Keep it classy. You don’t need to prove yourself to others to know you’re right.

How Your Subtle Habits Attract the Right Person

There are various means and platforms for you to find a partner at your convenience. However, a lot of them are heavily reliant on looks. In turn, this attracts people who are only into the physical aspect of a person.

To find a genuine and like-minded partner, you have to stay strong in your values. Don’t let others sway you into changing yourself. You defeat the point of finding someone to love you. If you change what makes you who you are, then you won’t be happy with yourself at all.

So appreciate your traits. Enhance them and make yourself a better person. From where you can attract the people you can share the rest of your life with.
