So gents — keep your stress levels in check because stressing is a complete waste of time. Like a rocking chair, stressing out gives you something to do but it won't get you anywhere. Think about it:. And if something is inside your control — get off your rear end and do something about it. Be accountable.

An independent man — one who can be by himself and has unique interests, projects and experiences — is far more interesting and driven than the average male. He's exciting and inspires curiosity, and women love this. You'll never be an attractive man if you blindly follow fashion trends, popular culture, social media, and what your parents told you was the right thing to do.
You become an attractive man by setting standards for yourself and reaching them, and by finding things that develop your character and bring joy to your life. This doesn't mean you give the world the finger and do whatever you want regardless of what other people do or think. It just means you should take control of your life and forge your own path.
According to the American Association for Suicide Prevention, men are 3. Low self-esteem and lack of confidence are main factors when it comes to male suicide. Attractive men never lack confidence in themselves because they address their problems head-on. Those issues you complain about?

Now before I go any further, let me pause and acknowledge how bat-shit crazy this advice probably sounds. White male models had skin that was 15 percent darker than white female models, while the skin of black male models was 11 percent darker than their female counterparts.
Why do most male models have darker skin? Because women are apparently predisposed to finding darker shades of skin more attractive. As the Daily Mail wrote in summarizing the study:. Pick up some self-tanner and try it for yourself. By far the most effective thing you can do to upgrade your current wardrobe without buying anything new is get your shirts, pants and other core wardrobe pieces tailored.

In an article for Forbes about why you should dress 25 percent better than everyone else in the office, Carmine Gallo writes:. As I alluded to above, Amazon has literally thousands of options for ties ranging in price from 2 bucks to Another great if a little more on-the-nose option is Ties.
Not to be confused with its cousin the sports jacket , a blazer is basically a suit jacket with a more relaxed fit. Because it has less structure in the shoulders, it gives off a more casual look and feel than a suit jacket, while still looking a hell of a lot sharper than a hoodie or sweatshirt. The best part is that you can find these just about everywhere, from suit stores like Suitsupply and Banana Republic to more casual stores like the Gap and even Old Navy , which is where the photo pictured here came from.

But in order to really stand out ,you have to stand tall — or at least as tall as your frame can muster. There are a lot of ways you can convey confidence, strength and attractiveness simply by using your body language effectively.
Like, a whole lot. Generally speaking, the men who are considered most dominant and thus, most attractive share a few physical traits:. Participants rated the men pictured on several traits, including attractiveness. Dixson and Robert C. In a study from University of California, Los Angeles , women looked at pictures of shirtless men and indicated which ones seemed like they would make the best long- and short-term partners.
Results showed that women were more likely to want short-term relationships with the guys who had big muscles. Characteristics like muscularity are "cues of genes that increase offspring viability or reproductive success," say authors David A. Frederick and Martie G. But Frederick and Haselton took away another telling finding: Less-muscular men were thought to be a better fit for long-term relationships.
So if you want to catch a woman's eye and hold her attention, you may be better off not going overboard. One of the best documented findings in psychology is the halo effect, a bias where you unconsciously take one aspect of somebody as a proxy for their overall character. It's why we think beautiful people are good at their jobs, even when they aren't necessarily. As psychologist and writer Scott Barry Kaufman notes, the halo effect works in other ways, too. In a Chinese study , more than young people looked at images of men and women's faces and rated them on attractiveness.
Each face pictured was paired with a word that described either a positive personality trait — like kindness or honesty — or a negative personality trait, like being evil or mean. A cross-cultural study — with participants from China, England, Germany, and the US — found that women are most attracted to men wearing red. In one experiment from the study, 55 female undergrads looked at a color photo of a man in either a red or green shirt, and then rated the man's attractiveness.
Sure enough, the man was rated significantly more attractive when he was wearing a red shirt. The results were similar when researchers compared the red shirt to other color shirts as well. Interestingly, participants generally weren't aware that the man's clothing color was influencing their perceptions of his attractiveness.
Multiple studies indicate that women are more attracted to men who can make them laugh. Interestingly, men generally aren't more attracted to women who can make them laugh. In one study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, researchers asked undergraduate students who didn't indicate their sexual orientation to say how much they valued a partner's ability to make them laugh and their own ability to make their partner laugh.
Results showed that women valued both their partner's sense of humor and their own ability to make their partner laugh; men valued only their own ability to make their partner laugh. In a experiment from the Ruppin Academic Center in Israel and the University of Michigan, Israeli women read vignettes about men.
Some of the men were described as "cads": They would cheat on their partner and get into fights. The other men were described as stereotypical "dads": They would work hard at their job and take good care of their kids. Whenever the story featured a cad who owned a dog, women rated that man as a more suitable long-term partner than a cad who didn't own a dog. Cads with dogs were even rated slightly more attractive than dads with dogs.
The researchers concluded that owning a pet signals that you're nurturing and capable of making long-term commitments. It can also help you appear more relaxed, approachable, and happy. In a study , researchers at the University of Sussex asked about 1, women whose average age was 28 to listen to simple and complex pieces of music and rate the attractiveness of the composer.
The results showed that women preferred the more complex music, and said they would choose the composer of the more complex music as a long-term partner. In , Australian researchers studied undergrads participating in a speed-dating session, and found that mindful men tended to receive higher attractiveness ratings from women. Before the session began, 91 students were asked to fill out a mindfulness questionnaire in which they indicated how much they agreed with statements like:.
After each interaction with an opposite-sex partner, students privately indicated how "sexy" they found their partner and how much they'd like to date that person. Results showed that men were generally more drawn to physically attractive women.
Independent coders had rated the students' attractiveness beforehand. But women were generally more attracted to mindful men. A study led by researchers at the University of Alaska at Anchorage found that women are attracted to men who take what the researchers call "hunter-gatherer risks.
More than undergrads filled out questionnaires about how attractive they would find a partner who engaged in certain risky behaviors, as opposed to a partner who engaged in low- or no-risk behaviors. Hunter-gatherer risks included mountain biking, deep-sea scuba diving, and extreme rollerblading. Low- and no-risk behaviors included biking along paved paths and carefully handling chemicals in a chemistry-lab class. Results showed that women said they would be more attracted to men who engaged in hunter-gatherer risks — the kinds that were similar to risks faced by ancestral humans.
Women said they would be less attracted to men who engaged in modern risks, which might seem just plain dumb.
