Beauty and the BMW

"Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it" -Confucius-

Here's something fundamental to think about: First impressions. 

The whole attraction process may be complicated, but it all starts with that first glance, look or interaction. Mental images of a person are created very quickly once any interaction is made. The bad news is that if that mental image is not the desired one, it takes a lot to change that image. On the other hand, once a great first impression is made, it sets the right stage for any future progress.

Impressions count. Men are visual creatures. It may sound shallow and superficial but at first, men are attracted by physical beauty.

What to do? A little effort in dressing up and firming up always brings the boys to the yard.

The rules change a little though for women. Yes, women too are attracted to physical beauty, but how many times have you seen a totally gorgeous 10/10 babe out with a plain looking guy? There are a lot of things women notice initially about a guy. While men are usually very simply either breast or leg men, women (consciously or unconsciously) may check out things like height, dressing, posture, cleanliness, tidiness, shoes, type of car, eye contact and voice tone. I've settled on the word status to loosely describe these. Just like how men initially are attracted by looks, women are initially attracted by men they perceive to have high status.

What to do? Practice traits and behaviors of a high status man, like standing straight, holding eye contact, speaking confidently and dressing well. It'll help in other aspects of life as well, such as career. If you drive a BMW, make sure it's clean.

Of course relationships are a lot more than just outer appearances. I strongly believe that personalities show through over time, and those are what really make or break a relationship. That being said, it would never hurt one's dating life to put on a more attractive appearance everyday. Marketing a product well is often as important as having a great product.

Extremely Simple Action Point: Smile more. Works for everyone. A sincere smile makes a person look approachable, happy and positive; all of which are wonderful for raising attraction in the opposite sex :) (Unless of course you already have too many admirers and want to lose some)
