Beautiful people are more successful. We're more likely to forgive attractive people. Cute folks are less likely to be convicted of a crime and more likely to get a shorter sentence.

Have people's opinions toward appearance changed over the years? Yes, we value attractiveness more than ever.

So what can you do to make sure you're looking good during that critical first impression?

1.美容觉

Beauty sleep? Yeah, it's real. Get some.

2.大红色衣服

Red clothes. Men, women, whatever. Wear red.

3.眼镜

Glasses make you look smarter but less attractive.

4.左边脸

Your left side is your best side.

5.幸福脸+傲娇脸

Happiness is attractive in women but not in men. Pride is attractive in men but not in women. The fundamentals of what we find attractive do not change as we age.

6.活出意义

A strong sense of meaning in life makes people more attractive.

7.健康饮食

Eat right. More servings of fruits and vegetables made people more attractive.

8.纹身

Tattoos are interesting. One tattoo isn't very telling. Multiple tattoos and highly visible tattoos are highly correlated with deviant behavior. Students like college professors with tattoos more than those without ink. People with tattoos and body piercings have sex at younger ages, have sex more often, have more oral sex, and are far less likely to be religious.

9.眼神交流

Eye contact can make people fall in love with you. You can tell which couples are in love by how long they stare into each others eyes.

10.找个和你同款但颜值比你差那么一点点的朋友

Is none of this helping? Here's a trick that doesn't ask you to change anything about yourself: bring along a friend who has your basic physical characteristics (similar coloring, body type, facial features), but is slightly less attractive than you. It works.
