The Art of Being Sexy: 5 Things To Make Yourself Instantly More Attractive
Ever wanted to know how to be sexy? Of course you have! Well, we’re here to give you the best tips that you can use in the moment, right here, right now.
Whether you’re naturally self-conscious, or your normally über-confident self just gets a little shaken now and then, there are some times when you just don’t want to wait for diets or gym programs to take effect. Luckily for you, here are some rock-steady things that anyone can do, anytime, to instantly up the ante. Interested? Read on!
First off, let’s define the game we’re playing here. As anyone who’s ever studied human evolution will tell you, the art of being attractive lies in looking healthy – that’s the basic golden rule. Of course, it’s never quite so simple. You’ve seen plenty of people in your life who, although they look perfectly healthy, aren’t all that hot. So let’s be more precise; it’s not about convincing the rational part of people’s minds that you’re healthy and will pass on good genes, it’s about speaking to their subconscious, and showing off those signs that evolution has told us to notice. Want in on the secrets? You bet.
1. Posture
Absolute must. A poor posture says shyness or awkwardness to the rational part of our minds, but the evolutionary back alleys are thinking spinal defects. Not hot. So even if you do have spinal defects, you want to be aiming for the sitting-straight-shoulders-back-and-down look as much as possible. Leave your back slightly concave, uncross your arms and banish the slump! Nu-uh, no spinal defects here.
2. How you walk and move
Good posture will improve this a little bit, but basically everything that’s going on from the waist downwards gets processed separately for bone disorders, bowed legs and the like. Not common in this day and age, but the brain has yet to catch up. So make sure you straighten your knees out, use the muscles in your upper thighs more than your calves, and keep the movement smooth. Tip: walking putting one foot in front of the other helps, as if you’re treading an invisible white line painted on the ground. It’ll put a bit of sway in your hips, and help your walk look less stumpy and more liquid as your feet return to the middle. Get the idea? Good.
3. Banish tiredness and signs of fatigue or sickness
No, you can’t help the bags under yours eyes right this minute, but making a conscious effort to look – and feel! – a little more bright and breezy will definitely help. Take a deep breath, shake off the tiredness and try to laugh a little. If no one’s looking, you can also pinch or swat your cheeks to bring some colour to them, or bite/nibble your lips to puff them out and make your face look more alive. Nothing helps like colour!
4. Your best side
Now we’ve got the basics covered, it’s time to bring out a lesser-known tip – thinking about the angle of your face in relation to the person that’s looking at it. If you’ve ever read up on how to look good in photos, or heard that looking at someone from under your eyelashes is sexy, you’ll know that the most flattering angle to be seen from is from slightly above, which makes your eyes your most immediate feature – better than setting your jaw centre-frame! It could even be an evolutionary reason why your average woman is smaller than your average man, who knows. So think about it when you’re talking to people. Don’t look at the floor or give yourself a double chin, but consider your angles a bit!
5. Confidence!
Last up is the best. Feel confident. It’s a cliché, but it’s so true, and getting this right will automatically touch up all of the above! You’ll look brighter, move more easily and be more open in your body language, without even thinking about it. But of course, it’s easier said than done, so here’s something to help. Imagine that you’re wearing the world’s most amazing panties. And no, don’t think about how you’d look wearing them, because we all have body issues and we know better than that!
Just think about the panties. They are gorgeous panties. Magical panties. The kind of panties that no man would be able to see and then resist tearing off with his teeth, the kind of panties that women couldn’t even be jealous of because they’re be too busy being stunned by the Panties of Glory. And they are your panties. Feel the panties. Be the panties. And if doing that only makes you laugh, then good, because that does the trick too!
So there you have it. Five things you can check off in your head and touch up unnoticeably, anytime, anywhere. No trips to the gym, no diets, and no need for a break to go and touch up your make-up either! Remember this little list, take it with you mentally when you go out, and guaranteed, you’ll be that little bit hotter, just like you wanted. Happy attention seeking!
