10 Signs You're Better Looking Than You Think
hey everyone and welcome to top think
today we're going to learn about 10
signs you're
better looking than you think now let's
begin
number one the below average effect
how do you measure your own
attractiveness many people judge their
attractiveness
by comparing themselves to other people
and who better to compare yourself to
than your closest friends if you want to
know how attractive you really are
just take a look at your friends are
they attractive people
do you feel like the least attractive
person in your friend group
a 1999 study from the journal of
personality and social psychology
discovered something called the below
average effect
now this psychological bias convinces us
that we
are worse at something than we actually
are
all right let's say you're going skiing
with your friends but your friends are
all
olympic athletes by comparison you feel
like you're the worst skier in the world
but are you really this is the below
average effect in
action when you see how talented
everyone else is
then you judge yourself more harshly
than you really should
okay let's change our scenario this time
you go skiing with a bunch of
amateurs what happens then you feel like
you're the best of the bunch right
you judge yourself favorably because
you're comparing yourself to less
experienced athletes
the below average effect works the same
way with your attractive friends
if you only compare yourself to
attractive individuals
then you're going to feel worse about
your appearance
but the only reason you feel
unattractive is because
you're surrounded by good looking people
number two the whole package
can non-physical characteristics make
you more attractive
attractiveness is far less physical than
people think
just take a look at many of the most
popular celebrities countless people
fawn over their good looks but if you
stripped away the glitz and glamour
they may be exceedingly average looking
so why do we find these celebrities so
attractive
they're attractive because of their
personalities and achievements
even if their looks are lackluster
non-physical traits can make you one of
the world's most attractive people
so don't think of yourself in terms of
body weight height or shape
those things matter but non-physical
traits leave a much greater impact on
anyone you meet
so if you want to get an accurate
understanding of your attractiveness
then analyze the whole package look at
everything you bring to the table
think about your talents and passions
think about your achievements and
successes
think about the reasons why your friends
and partners
adore you because those non-physical
traits
can turn an average looking person into
someone extraordinary
number three vocal attraction
your voice may be one of your most
attractive traits this comes from a 2015
study in the journal evolution and human
behavior
researchers investigated the unique
relationship between vocal tones and
physical attraction
here's what they found your voice has a
huge impact
on how attractive other people think you
are in fact
an appealing voice may be able to change
an unattractive face
into an attractive one in this study
male participants rated the
attractiveness of female faces and
female
voices it turns out the highest rated
faces
also had the highest rated voices so
what does this mean for you
an attractive voice can skyrocket your
physical attractiveness
number four limbal rings take a look at
the mirror
look closely at your eyes is there a
black ring around the outside of your
irises
this ring is called a limbal ring
believe it or not
it's one of the most commonly overlooked
signs of physical attraction
your limbal ring acts as a barrier
between your colored iris and the whites
of your eyes
also known as the sclera the small black
ring
emphasizes the colors of your iris which
makes your eyes look brighter and bolder
a study from the university of
california at irvine found that limbal
rings can make
or break an attractive face in this
study
participants rated the attractiveness of
both male and female
faces some faces had strong limbal rings
while other faces didn't which faces do
you think receive the highest ratings
faces with prominent limbal rings
significantly outperform their
counterparts
turns out the eyes are widely considered
the most attractive facial features
on both men and women eyes can be
beautiful
enchanting and mysterious they show
everything from kindness to intensity
and limbal rings create an even stronger
emotional
impact number five
social discomfort can social cues tell
you how attractive you are
there are several social signals that
give away your good looks
but one is by far the most common if
you're an attractive person
situations like this may happen to you
on a daily basis
alright let's say you're standing on the
street corner when a stranger walks up
next to you
you wave and say hello now there's no
reason the conversation needs to be
awkward but it always is
you may get a strange feeling that
people act weird around you
they seem nervous standoffish and
insecure
and you can't figure out why well i'll
tell you why
it's because you're more attractive than
you realize
they're awkward and jittery because we
get nervous around people we find
attractive
attractive people make our hearts race
and our heads spin
we stammer and we say the wrong things
we make a fool out of ourselves because
our nerves get the best of us
and our confidence just flies out the
window
so if people are awkward around you it's
because you're more attractive than you
realize
it's true some people are just awkward
but if it's happening more often than
not
your good looks may be responsible
number six stylistic satisfaction
do you have a favorite outfit when you
get dressed up in your best clothes
how do you feel do you feel attractive
do you feel confident
your clothes play an important role in
your physical attractiveness
your style displays your personality to
the world
it shows off your best features and it
hides your worst ones
it tells others your interests and your
passions and it speaks volumes about
your lifestyle
but what if you don't feel comfortable
in your own clothes
if you don't like how you look people
will notice if you don't feel happy with
the way you're dressed
that dissatisfaction will affect your
appearance and bring down your good
looks
so ask yourself a simple question do i
like how i look in my own clothes
if the answer is yes then you're an
attractive person
and the world knows it number seven
perfect posture do you pay attention to
your posture
a surprising amount of people have poor
posture over the years they've developed
a curve in their spines and a slight
hunch in their backs
poor posture has almost become a
societal norm
so when you see someone standing up
straight and tall their fantastic
posture leaves a big impact that's
because
perfect posture plays to your physical
strengths no matter who you are
it makes you look taller and thinner it
puffs out your chest and it rolls back
your shoulders
good posture sharpens your chin and
jawline by straightening
your spine your body takes on a whole
new look
ah but that's not all good posture also
affects
non-physical traits a straight spine
communicates confidence and authority
you're showing attentiveness readiness
and concentration
these traits are associated with
stronger more attractive personalities
so when people interact with you they'll
make different assumptions about who you
are you can gain respect capture
people's interest
and bolster your own attractiveness it
works just as well for men as it does
for women
studies show that both men and women
prefer partners with better posture
for women perfect posture emphasizes
your hips your chest and your waist
for men it increases your height and
accentuates your chest and shoulders
so think about your posture how do you
normally sit or stand
if you sit up straight then you're doing
your physical appearance a huge
favor number eight
rating your past it's really difficult
to accurately judge your appearance
we're so familiar with our faces that we
lose sight of what's attractive and what
isn't
but this simple trick can help you
objectively measure your own
attractiveness
just find a picture of yourself from
several months or even years ago
do you find this person attractive think
as objectively as you can
create distance between you and your
photo now that you're thinking
objectively
how attractive are you if you rate your
old photos highly
i've got some news for you you're just
as attractive now
as you were then and if you don't
believe me break out some recent photos
and compare
number nine drawing eyes
how often do you make eye contact with
strangers this is another social
phenomenon that attractive people
frequently encounter
humans naturally pay attention to things
that we like
for example if you see an attractive
painting then you'll stare at it longer
than an unattractive painting
you do the same thing with attractive
people if someone piques your interest
your eyes will be drawn toward them if
you're an attractive person then you may
feel like the world is staring at you
you catch people sneaking peaks at you
you make awkward eye contact with
strangers
if you notice these subtle cues then
people are looking in your direction
why because you're more attractive than
you realize
number 10 the eyebrow rays
when someone attractive looks your way
how do you feel
you get nervous right in this situation
some people look away immediately
they avoid eye contact hoping the other
person won't notice they were looking at
them
other people stand their ground they
continue making eye contact with you
but you can see subtle signs of
attraction on their face
for example if they raise their eyebrows
they're surprised
they're surprised because they didn't
expect you to look in their direction
but you did so their eyebrows fly up
their eyes widen
and a little smile brightens up their
face pay attention the next time you
make eye contact with a stranger
these tiny physical cues can tell you
just how attractive
you really are hey thank you for
