How to Be More Attractive

In a world where the culture of youth and celebrity rules, no one is exempt from the pressure to be more attractive. It is a fact, albeit an unfair one, that attractive people get better jobs, are perceived as being more intelligent and even get better treatment in the legal system than unattractive people. It doesn't take perfect genes or plastic surgery to be more attractive.

Things You'll Need

• Teeth whitener

Instructions

1. Get rid of ill-fitting clothes. Conduct a spot check in the mirror each morning before leaving the house. Raise your arms, lower yourself into a seated position and bend down to pick up a coin. If any unwanted skin shows, donate that item of clothing to charity.

2. Cut your hair every 6 to 8 weeks. Men with very short styles must shave the back of their necks between barber visits. Women with long hair must trim the ends regularly to avoid a frizzy appearance.

3. Use an over-the-counter teeth whitener to brighten your smile between dentist visits. These products really do work. Even if you don't indulge in coffee or tobacco, food and aging yellows our teeth.

4. Keep your fingernails (and toenails) trimmed to ¼ inch or less. Fake fingernails look cheap between fills. Long nails on men are simply repellent.

5. Exercise moderation in all vices. Whether it's sunbathing, alcohol or chocolate, we all have at least one unhealthy habit that detracts from our potential to be more attractive. Cut these habits in half and lessen the chances of becoming wrinkled, alcoholic or overweight.

6. Carry yourself with confidence. It is a fact of human nature that 99 percent of people are too worried about how they look to scrutinize your appearance. This applies on your wedding day, when you're giving a speech and any other time you feel you are the center of attention.
