00:00 Have you ever wondered whether or not
00:01 you're actually attractive?
00:03 Maybe your gran says, "Look how handsome
00:05 or pretty you've gotten," every time she sees you.
00:08 But your grandma has to say that, right?
00:11 How can you know for sure?
00:13 Whether you think you're a modern Adonis, Aphrodite,
00:16 or anything in between,
00:18 or you think you're more like Quasimodo,
00:21 here are some science-backed signs that you're attractive.
00:25 You connect with others.
00:26 Have you noticed that people naturally gravitate
00:28 towards you?
00:29 It's not just about physical attractiveness,
00:31 but something deeper.
00:32 You have a special ability to connect with others
00:34 on a genuine and meaningful level.
00:36 According to studies conducted by social psychologist,
00:39 John Cacioppo,
00:40 individuals who exhibit strong interpersonal skills
00:43 and the ability to connect with others
00:45 are often perceived as more attractive.
00:48 And this is because your empathetic nature,
00:50 listening skills, and genuine interest in others
00:53 makes them feel heard, understood, and valued.
00:56 This innate ability to forge strong connections
00:58 is a sign of your attractiveness
01:00 and the positive impact you have on those around you.
01:03 You keep fit.
01:05 While it may sound like an obvious point,
01:07 there's more to exercising than simply looking attractive.
01:10 Exercise can also boost self-confidence,
01:12 which can contribute to attractiveness.
01:14 This is because people who feel good about themselves
01:16 and their bodies are often more confident and self-assured,
01:19 which can be attractive to others.
01:21 A study published in the journal,
01:23 Psychology of Sport and Exercise,
01:24 found that women who engaged in regular exercise
01:27 had higher levels of self-esteem and body satisfaction
01:30 than those who did not.
01:32 And that these factors contributed
01:34 to increased attractiveness.
01:35 It's less about what you actually look like
01:37 and more about the effect it has on your mental health
01:39 and your outward attitude that people find attractive.

01:47 You influence others.
01:48 Psychologist, Dr. Alice Eagley and her colleagues
01:51 conducted a meta-analysis of studies examining the impact
01:54 of physical attractiveness on social influence.
01:57 They found that physically attractive people
01:58 were more likely to be seen as credible, persuasive
02:01 and trustworthy, and were more successful
02:03 at changing people's attitudes and opinions.
02:06 This is different from getting a job or a promotion
02:08 and can be used to affect the entire dynamic
02:10 of your social circle.
02:12 People are more likely to listen to you
02:14 and to use your opinion as their own.
02:16 If you ever feel like people around you
02:18 just tell you what you wanna hear,
02:20 maybe they actually find you attractive.
02:22 You are passionate.
02:24 Have you ever met someone who had a magnetic personality,
02:27 because they were outwardly passionate about something,
02:29 like their job or a hobby?
02:31 Psychological scientist, John Uptegraff and colleagues
02:35 published a study in the journal
02:36 Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin
02:39 that found the participants rated individuals
02:41 who were described as passionate and enthusiastic
02:43 as more attractive than those
02:45 who were described as unenthusiastic.
02:47 Another study published in the journal
02:49 Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts
02:52 that was conducted by cognitive scientist, Scott Kaufman
02:55 found that individuals who scored high
02:57 on measures of creativity
02:58 were rated as more attractive by others.
03:01 If you know that you express your passion openly
03:03 and sincerely without gatekeeping
03:05 or acting like a know-it-all,
03:07 people probably find that very attractive.
03:10 The halo effect.
03:11 Do you ever feel like everyone wants to talk to you?
03:15 Attractive people are often perceived as more approachable
03:17 because of a phenomenon called the halo effect.
03:21 The halo effect refers to the cognitive bias
03:23 where our overall impression of a person
03:25 influences our perception of their specific traits
03:29 or characteristics.
03:30 In the case of physical attractiveness,
03:32 people tend to assume that attractive individuals
03:35 possess other positive qualities
03:37 such as intelligence, kindness, and competence.
03:40 A study by psychologist, Dr. Judith Langlois
03:42 found that even infants as young as six months old
03:45 were more likely to approach
03:46 and interact with attractive individuals
03:48 compared to unattractive individuals.
03:50 Attractiveness is subjective,
03:52 but there are a few attractive features
03:54 that are backed up by science.
03:55 Attractiveness can come from the inside.
03:58 Some things like confidence and passion
04:00 can do more than symmetrical features and chiseled abs.
04:03 Do you think others gravitate towards you?
04:06 Comment below what you think
04:07 is your most attractive feature,
04:09 whether it's a physical feature
04:10 or a part of your personality.
