Let’s face it. Looks are important on the dating scene. But just because you don’t look like Megan Fox doesn’t mean you can’t land a quality man.
OK, so you aren’t supermodel “hot.” What is a girl to do?
The truth is, it’s not about what you were born with. It’s about how you present yourself.
Many women define their looks as “average,” and therefore, don’t put much effort into their appearance. They want a man to love the “real” them, so they wear baggy clothes and don’t worry too much about personal style. After all, a man should love them for their personality, right?
The reality is that men are visual creatures. They look to how you present yourself to determine if you are available. That means dressing in a manner that enhances your best features, wearing clothes that fit, and exuding a sexy confidence.
If a man doesn’t feel an initial spark of physical attraction, he won’t pursue you.
Putting effort into your appearance is crucial to achieving success in dating. How you take care of yourself says a lot about you.
Women who take care of themselves do so because they feel good about themselves.
They have healthy self-esteem and a personal style. They take pride in their appearance because they know that first impressions matter.
Other women have all but given up on men and it shows. When you have low self-esteem or think that nothing can make you look “attractive” to men, you present yourself in that way. You stop styling your hair, wear overly large shirts and elastic pants, and let your figure go. You stop making eye contact with people and think discouraging thoughts – as if it has already been decided that you aren’t going to get that man, so why bother?
If you were a man, which type of woman would you prefer: a confident woman who takes pride in her appearance or a self-conscious woman who wishes men could see what lies beneath her outer appearance?
The good news is that virtually any woman can make herself more attractive now – not six months from now when she’s dropped those 25 extra pounds.
If you are overweight, look around you. There are many women who could afford to drop a few pounds who have found happy relationships. It’s not your weight that is holding you back. It is your beliefs about weight that keep you from succeeding.
Rather than focus on your imperfections, showcase your best assets.
Which parts of yourself do you like? Do you have nice eyes? Learn make up techniques that make your eyes stand out. Have a great smile? Accentuate it with lip color.
There are numerous books and magazines devoted to makeover techniques for any face and body-type. With a bit of research, you can uncover what styles would work best for you. Then, go shopping (even if it is just window-shopping) and try on a few new outfits to see what the “new” you would look like. Get a friend to give you a second opinion.
This isn’t about hiring a personal stylist or blowing a bunch of cash on designer labels. Rather, look for what types of clothes work best for you. What colors, patterns and materials do you like best? Which feel the most feminine and sensual? Find clothes that make you look and feel good.
In doing so, pass up any clothes that don’t quite fit you – like the ones that look fantastic on the store models but might be a bit too snug or don’t feel exactly right for you. If you don’t like the way it feels, don’t buy it. You won’t wear it anyway.
If you wear make up, look for make up tips to enhance your best features – either your lips, cheeks, or eyes. Make up can do wonders for any appearance when applied correctly.
Keep your body healthy. Start eating right and exercising. A bit of aerobics and weight training can tone your muscles and give you healthy skin. Exercise will also give you a rush of endorphins and make you feel energized.
Developing a personal style will help you feel more confident in attracting a quality man into your life. Spending a few minutes in the morning goes a long way towards making a great first impression with anyone you might meet that day.
