Improving Attractiveness through Simple Methods

Key Points

Posture
- Posture is a sign of health, confidence, success, and capability.
- Good posture makes you appear more attractive and confident.
  - Personal anecdote: A girlfriend's roommate noticed better posture.
- Scientific backing: Study showed those with good posture are twice as likely to get a second date.

Mental Trick: The String Theory
- Imagine a string pulling from the top of your skull to your tailbone, making a straight line through your back.
Physical Method: Use an expansive brace
- Costs some money, but it helps keep your elbows and shoulders in the right position.
- Key posture points: head up, chest out, nose in line with chin and chest.

Speed of Speech
- No consensus on whether speaking fast or slow is better.
- Some studies suggest speaking quickly shows confidence and intelligence.
- Others think speaking slowly can be advantageous, especially for portraying a mysterious persona.

Avoid Speaking with Fear
- Speak confidently without overanalyzing each word.
- Freely use pitch, tonality, and inflection.
Avoid Upward Inflection
- Commonly known as rapport-seeking tonality.
- Aim for rapport-neutral tonality: even tone across a sentence.
- Rapport-breaking tonality: authoritative, curves down at the end of sentences (teachers, principals, police officers).
- For friendliness, use rapport-neutral; for authority, consider rapport-breaking.

Proud Movements
- Slow down reaction times.
- Move with purpose and pride.
- Example: Don’t be overly quick to respond; think before reacting.
Take Pride in Your Movements
- E.g., in the gym, move with purpose rather than laziness.
- Broad shoulders, stern movements, avoid appearing sloppy.

Three immediate ways to become more attractive:
1. Improve posture using mental and physical methods.
2. Speak with confidence and appropriate tonalities.
3. Control and slow down your movements, taking pride in them.
