12 Subtle Habits of Highly Attractive People

They do things a bit differently.

What is it that makes someone truly attractive? I believe that to fully embody this characteristic, it takes more than just getting lucky in the gene pool and being aesthetically pleasing.

The real essence of being highly attractive resides in how one carries themselves, treats other people, pursues their passions, and lives their life.

For most of us, when we’re drawn to someone, we don’t really stop and try to define the reasons why — but we know that our subconscious is noticing things about them that are causing this magnetism.

If we can understand, harness, and display those qualities ourselves, then, we can work to attract more of the right people to us in all areas of life. Relationships, career opportunities, friendships…

What, then, are some subtle habits that highly attractive people display, sometimes without even realizing it?

1: They display welcoming and open body language.

Most people move about the world on a daily basis without being fully conscious of the non-verbal messages they’re sending through all of their interactions.

The reality is that what we’re feeling on the inside finds itself displayed on the outside, and signals it to the people around us. If you are intentionally sending the message that you don’t want to be approached or talked to, that’s one thing — but I’ve heard from many of my clients in the past that people have told them they’re “unapproachable” even when they’re not trying to be.

More often than not, the culprit is simply a lack of awareness about how we’re presenting ourselves physically.

Body language like crossed arms, or shoulders pointed away from people, or looking down at the ground or your phone, are all avoidant and say “leave me alone.”

Again, if that’s what you want — great! Mission accomplished.

But, if you’re looking to meet someone, or to make a great impression at a networking event, or are walking into a big meeting — you may find yourself being misjudged or misunderstood.
