 Have you ever wondered whether or not you're actually attractive? Maybe your grand says, look how handsome or pretty you've gotten every time she sees you. But your grandma has to say that, right? How can you know for sure? Whether you think you're a modern Adonis, Aphrodite, or anything in between, or you think you're more like Quasimodo, here are some science-backed signs that you're attractive. You connect with others. Have you noticed that people naturally gravitate towards you? It's not just about physical attractiveness, but something deeper. You have a special ability to connect with others on a genuine and meaningful level. According to studies conducted by social psychologist, John Cacioppo, individuals who exhibit strong interpersonal skills and the ability to connect with others are often perceived as more attractive.

This innate ability to forge strong connections is a sign of your attractiveness and the positive impact you have on those around you. You keep fit. While it may sound like an obvious point, there's more to exercising than simply looking attractive. Exercise can also boost self-confidence, which can contribute to attractiveness. This is because people who feel good about themselves and their bodies are often more confident and self-assured, which can be attractive to others. A study published in the Journal of Psychology of Support and Exercise found that women who engaged in regular exercise had higher levels of self-esteem and body satisfaction than those who did not, and that these factors contributed to increased attractiveness.

Psychological scientist, John Uptograph and colleagues published a study in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin that found the participants rated individuals who were described as passionate and enthusiastic as more attractive than those who were described as enthusiastic. Another study published in the journal Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts that was conducted by cognitive scientist, Scott Kaufman, found that individuals who scored high on measures of creativity were rated as more attractive by others. If you know that you express your passion openly and sincerely without gatekeeping or acting like a know-it-all, people probably find that very attractive. The Halo Effect. Do you ever feel like everyone wants to talk to you? Attractive people are often perceived as more approachable because of a phenomenon called the Halo Effect.

A study by psychologist, Dr. Judith Langlois, found that even infants as young as six months old were more likely to approach and interact with attractive individuals compared to unattractive individuals.
