When it comes to beauty and attractiveness, people are always subjective, because as the saying goes “beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder,” right? Nevertheless, did you know that there are some tricks that can make people look more attractive than they actually are?

Well, in general, people who want to change their appearance opt for aesthetic interventions, some prefer the invasive ones, others the non-invasive methods, but we are not talking about those types of procedures. In fact, it has been proven that you can actually be more attractive to someone else without changing the way you look.

In this sense, some of the most common secrets that people practice when they want to find a new partner are not talking about their ex, as well as always smell good and wear makeup, be funny and go on a romantic date. However, experts say that there are many other lesser known tricks and tips that can help you be more attractive without even realizing it, some of which are really crazy. So, let’s find out together! Read on for more info.

Spicy foods increase the attractiveness to other persons

While some women use red lipstick and a beautiful dress to impress a man and have to drink a few shots of alcohol to find someone pretty, others need only some spicy foods. Even though it sounds really crazy, this is actually a true fact, namely that spicy foods can increase the attractiveness in other people.

According to a recent study done by some researchers at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, women find men twenty percent more attractive after the women eat spicy foods. The explanation is that spicy foods affect your embodied cognition, namely that your sensory feelings affect what you feel at that moment.

Now that you know that spicy foods can make you more attractive in the eyes of your potential partner, you can take her to an Asian restaurant on your first date to increase your chances.

Red can make you be more attractive

Speaking of red lipstick, this can be a reason why women always wear a red one on their first date or on a  special occasion, because they know that they look more attractive.

As you probably already know, over the years, researchers have found that preferences for certain colors are always subjective, which means that while you think that yellow is a beautiful color, someone else may probably think that it’s horrible, but it has been found that red is unanimously accepted as an appealing color.

According to an experiment, men reported that women who were dressed up in red or wore red lipstick or simply a red bag were more attractive than those who weren’t dressed up in red clothes. So, the next time when you want to go on a date don’t forget to choose a red T-shirt or a red dress.

People who are part of a group are considered more attractive

There are many relationship experts who can give advice to introverts on how to approach a potential partner, and the most common methods include asking for their phone number, starting a conversation on social media, or offering them a drink at the bar, but a few know that all you have to do is to go out with more friends and be seen with them, of course.

That being said, it has been proven that people who are part of a group are considered more attractive, did you know that? According to a study done by the University of California, participants had to evaluate people in terms of attractiveness. Thus, the researchers who conducted the study showed them pictures with certain persons in two situations: alone and in a group and they made sure that the subjects didn’t notice the repetition. So, they found that individuals in groups were considered more attractive than when they were alone in the picture.

The explanation is that when you are in a group, people tend to compare faces, and their standards of beauty change as well.

Watching horror movies together

Many people plan their dates at the cinema and some of them choose a horror movie, even though they don’t know the scientific explanation behind it, right? It seems that after the dating that took place at the cinema and after watching horror movies together, people are more likely to form a relationship.

Paradoxically, horror movies are more effective in seducing your potential partner than romantic movies. According to many studies, the explanation is that people usually tend to mistake feelings of fear for arousal and this can lead to attraction. In psychology, this process is also called ‘misattribution of arousal’. In other words, when you are scared and experience various psychological responses related to fear, your heart rate increases and you will also experience shortness of breath, which are often similar to those feelings that occur when you are attracted to someone.

So, if you want to impress your potential partner, take him or her on a horror movie date and you will be more likely to become a couple afterwards.

Your right side of your body

As you already know, your left and right hemispheres of the brain are responsible for different functions in your body that somehow affect your personality or behavior. However, no one knows how and why they can even influence how someone may perceive you or whether or not they find you more attractive after a conversation, but researchers believe that your right side of your body is more attractive to others.

According to a recent study, if you are at a party where the music is too loud and someone is talking in your right ear, you are more likely to like that person and be receptive. So, the next time when you are at a party and try to approach someone, try to speak into their right ear because this way you increase your chances of forming a relationship.

Facial scars are considered more attractive

We live in an era where the industry of makeup and cosmetics is growing dramatically and everyone wants to cover their facial scars, whether we are talking about men or women. Of course, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, but scars are considered beautiful in some cultures. For example, in New Guinea, and several countries in Africa, people believe that body scars are considered an indicator of beauty and they have a ceremony where they “sacrifice” their body for this.

According to science, facial scars are really pretty, especially in the case of men. A recent study has shown that men with facial scars are considered more attractive by women than those without scars. Researchers say that women usually associate scars with bravery and strength and this is the reason why facial scars are considered charming. So, if you have a scar on your face, don’t be insecure and don’t let it lower your self esteem, but try to consider it a quality.

Sweat can make you be more attractive

We have to admit that sweating is the last thing that makes a person be attractive, especially if you are on your first date, right? In general, you’d say that people who smell good are more likely to be in a relationship than those who sweat.

However, science has a different opinion, though. It seems that sweating can actually make you be more attractive, especially when you are at the gym. So, if you want to start a new relationship, all you have to do is to go to the gym.

According to a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, men’s sweat contains a pheromone called androstadienone, which increases the cortisol hormone that is responsible for attractiveness. Some brands use androstadienone in male fragrances. So, that being said, hit the gym and you will realize that all women have their eyes on you.

Confused people are considered more attractive

When it comes to feelings, there are many people who don’t feel comfortable talking about their emotions and inner experiences and this can make them look confused. This phenomenon applies even to introverts or those who aren’t sure whether or not they want to start a new relationship.

To be more specific, researchers have shown that confused people who don’t say exactly if they are interested in someone are more likely to be considered attractive than those who speak freely about their feelings.

According to a study done by researchers at the University of Virginia and Harvard, women are more attracted to men whose intentions are unclear. Well, that’s why many people who express their feelings are usually ‘friend zoned’.

Men who don’t smile are considered attractive

Paradoxically, all those personal development coaches and relationship experts tell you to smile more if you want to attract a potential partner, right? In fact, many of you probably consider that smiling can make you more attractive, but it seems that you are wrong.

According to some studies, women aren’t attracted to men who smile, because they usually associate a serious face with masculinity. Some of them believe that smiling is a feminine feature.
