 Hey, Psych2Goers! Welcome back to our channel! Habits. They can change our behavior, alter our interests, and improve certain skills with enough time and determination. Did you know that some habits might just make you more attractive to others? Here are just a few of the habits that can make you attractive to others. Number one. Learning something new. How often do you learn something new? The more knowledge you possess, the more intelligent you may seem to others, as they can learn quite a lot from you. A 2019 research study wanted to determine whether smart is often seen as sexy. Researchers asked around 600 adults to rate a list of hypothetical people based on how desirable they were. They found that for everyone in the study, for all kinds of relationships, there was a significant desire to have a partner who was either as smart as them or smarter. Hmm, so is there anything you've always wanted to learn? Let us know in the comments below. Number two. Having an androgynous style and or androgynous traits. According to a 1983 study from Dr. Linda A. Jackson, from Michigan State University, those with both feminine and masculine attributes were often rated as more attractive. The study states that the results indicated that androgynous persons were favorably perceived on the gender-linked dimensions of instrumentality and expressivity. And in sex-neutral desirable traits, they were regarded as better adjusted, more likable, and as having an advantage in the occupational domain compared to masculine and feminine persons. Number three. Often leading in groups. Do you want your crush to notice you? Well, if you want others to see you as more attractive, make it a habit to bring out that leader deep inside you. In a 2014 study, researchers found that subordinates rated their group leader as significantly more attractive than leaders outside their group. So even if there is no role of group leader in your next project, be more vocal about your ideas and teach others. You can start by teaching them all the great things you've learned from your habitual trips to the library. There are plenty of ways in which you can lead. On your next date, suggest a place you know all about and take the lead on a romantic adventure. A beautiful hike? An interesting game? The possibilities are endless. Show them what you enjoy in your life and lead the way next time you hang out with them. Number four. Maintain good grooming. Do you have style? How are your grooming habits? Do you iron your shirts? Press your pants. Dressing nice and being well-groomed is an easy way to get someone to notice you. And while you don't need to iron every piece of clothing of yours before you go out, it can be admirable to see someone very well put together. And having great hygiene is an attractive quality in and of itself. Express who you are by wearing what makes you feel confident and happy. If you feel like you, you'll likely feel more comfortable and approachable to others. Psychologist Jeremy Nicholson, the writer for Psychology Today, explains that research has shown a large part of physical attraction is centered on the more changeable aspects of our self-presentation. He explains that specifically, the most attractive physical features fall under self-care. Things like good grooming, clean hair, nice fitting and quality clothing, good posture and healthy weight. Nicholson concludes that these self-care features are attractive because they indicate how we're managing our health and well-being, which demonstrates our potential value as a partner and mate. Are you the class clown? Can you be humorous sometimes? Well, a good joke here and there can go a long way, apparently when it comes to romance too. Researchers from Illinois State University and DePaul University found in their study that when you use humor when getting to know an acquaintance at first, that individual has a better chance of liking you more. They even found that engaging in funny tasks may raise romantic attraction. And number six, being kind. Do you have a habit of being kind? Doing the right thing? Well, keep it up. Who doesn't love some kindness? It's always a good thing to be kind to one another, but one study from China also suggests that it may just make you appear more physically attractive. The study had three subject groups examine pictures of people's faces and rate how attractive they were. One group was given personality information that was positive, while others were given negative information or none. The group given positive personality information rated the faces as more attractive than the others. The study finds that positive personality can increase perceptions of facial attractiveness and that this phenomenon of halo effect on facial attractiveness has been evidenced. So while we should all be kind no matter what, it's a nice bonus to know it may pay off in more ways than we think. Not only will we make others feel good and feel healthier and happier ourselves, but we may just appear more physically attractive than before. So, which habits do you have?
