Best tips on how to be more attractive
I know "beauty is subjective" but what are some actionable steps I can take to be just generally better-looking/attractive to others? I don't think I'm hideous, but I could be more attractive. Any tips on how to go about this?
Surefire ways to become more attractive:
1. Practice being more confident (not cocky). Notice I said practice: it's something you develop by working at it! So even if you don't feel super great about how you look, you can change your attitude about how you're perceived by challenging negative thoughts about yourself and even practicing daily mantras. (Eg one of my mantras is "You're incredibly cool," lol, lame but it does work).
2. Be kind to others. You can love yourself all you want, but if you're not nice to other people, they probably won't want to be around you. Practice smiling more and asking people how they're doing. Remember things about people and follow up. Include others. Be the person everyone looks forward to seeing.
3. Find a passion. Being good at/passionate about something is wildly attractive, to basically everybody. People are attracted to people with a sense of purpose or meaning. Find yours.
4. Exercise regularly. This isn't just about getting in shape and looking a certain way (although that can help), it's also about feeling better about yourself. Exercising regularly helps you feel physically better and more accomplished/capable, as well as alleviates depression/anxiety--all of which can help boost your confidence (see no. 1!)
5. Eat well and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Again, will influence your physique, but will also just plain make you feel great and more in control. Eat a proper diet, full meals, and limit alcohol intake.

If you have some friends with decent style who can be brutally honest with you, get them to help you figure out how you can be more attractive! I took a friend of mine shopping with me one day and let her pick out some outfits for me. I've gotten tons of compliments on the shirts she picked out for me, even years later. Dressing nicely can make a huge impact on your attractiveness.
I find it really attractive when someone comes across as genuinely happy. People who are full of joy and are loving life are so magnetic. If there's something in your life that brings you joy, lean into it and share it with others. The positivity will draw people to you!
