People say: these simple things make someone more attractive

What makes someone attractive to another is of course very personal. It can be something about appearance like the color of hair, eyes, teeth... But also someone's intelligence, humor; you name it. Aside from all those traits that someone must or must not have to be attractive to you, there are also little things that people can do.

This was extensively discussed on Reddit, where people answered the question: ‘What simple things can make someone much more attractive?’ Honestly: the answers surprised me here and there, but I can completely agree with most of them. Yes, do this and it really makes you a more attractive person to others. And for yourself too, by the way.

1. ‘Good hygiene. No one cares if you have a good personality if they don't want to get physically close enough to you to get to know you.’

2. ‘If you see someone helping someone else, even if it's something as small as picking up something that has fallen.’

3. ‘If someone puts their phone away when they are having a conversation with someone.’

4. ‘A desire to know more about things, to always keep learning.’

5. ‘Authenticity! People who are not afraid to be unapologetically themselves.’

6. ‘A good posture. Literally: chin up, shoulders back.’

7. ‘If they treat cashiers and service staff well.’

8. ‘Acknowledging someone's problems and doing their best to understand them.’

9. ‘Being passionate about something. Whether it's a niche genre of music, or art, or design.’

10. ‘Very simple: smiling! It seems to make you up to eight times more attractive.’

11. ‘Being just as nice to strangers as to your friends.’

12. ‘Doing your best to find opportunities to help or cheer someone up. Not just doing the bare minimum.’

13. ‘Not always dressing in sweatpants.’ (oops)
