Is there anyone that doesn’t like the idea of becoming
more romantically attractive? It’s one of our strongest and
most fundamental motivations, and I’m willing to bet that
many of your daily activities are motivated by it, whether
you realize it or not. And that’s not a bad thing at all—it’s
a natural biological process (just think of a peacock
preening its feathers to impress a suitor).
However, the term “becoming more attractive” is usually
intimidating. If you’re anything like me, that phrase just
conjures up images of slaving away in the gym, counting
every calorie, spending hours in the salon, and spending
an ungodly amount of money getting every imperfection
sucked, snipped, tucked, dyed, tanned, or cut off.
Exhausting, right? Well, what if I told you that there are
some sneaky tips you can use to cheat the system, and
make yourself more romantically attractive without doing
ANY of those things? It’s true! According to
psychological research that I’ve learned in my Interpersonal
Relationships psychology course, these are the top seven
ways to make yourself more romantically attractive to your
crush:

1. Be around them a lot
No no no, not in a stalker-ish way. That defeats the
whole purpose. But the proximity effect is a real
psychological effect, and a pretty simple one at that. It
states that more you see somebody, the more likely you
are to like them. You see super-hot girls walking around
campus ALL the time, and even when me and my friends
aren’t at school, there are other semi-attractive people
there, too. But who are the people you actually get
crushes on, start boning, and eventually start dating?
These would be the people that you see on a regular
basis.

2. Make it known that you like them
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the field of social psychology
has officially pronounced that the whole playing-hard-to-get
thing, in scientific terms, is “moronic.” The reciprocity
effect states that you are more likely to like somebody
when it’s known that they like you back. So yes, you can
tell me you’re in love with me already *waits patiently for
inbox to flood*.

3. Be surrounded by attractive people of the
opposite sex–but only if you’re a guy
As it turns out, when a girl sees a guy surrounded by
attractive girls, she’ll think of him as more attractive,
supposedly because of social proof (we’ll talk about that
later). However, the opposite is true for guy. When a guy
sees a girl surrounded by a group of attractive guys, he’ll
get all intimidated and be all, “Oh no, they probably bench
more than me,” and then leave to go play FIFA and sulk.
The takeaway for this is that if you’re a guy and have
ugly girl friends, get rid of them. If you’re a girl and have
attractive guy friends, get rid of them, unless you’re trying
to get with one of them, in which case, get rid of the rest
of them.

4. Get your crush’s friends to like you
Social proof is best defined by saying, “When in Rome, do
as the Romans do,” and it stems from what is probably
pure human laziness, as it turns out that we really don’t
like to think for ourselves that often. How often has this
following scenario happened to you: your friends are all
going on and on about how hot this person is, and you
really don’t see it at all. But they keep talking about it,
because I guess this person is REALLY hot, and finally,
you start to see it? Ladies and gentlemen, that is social
proof at work. Get your crush’s friends to like you (or at
the very least, hate you but think you’re super attractive)
and your chances are that much better.

5. Wear red
Multiple studies have shown that we’re more attracted to
people wearing red. Science isn’t exactly sure why yet,
so don’t press me on the details. Just do it, and make
sure that your “something red” is a cute red dress or
something alone those lines, not a blood-stained T-shirt or,
even worse, a red fedora.

6. Put them in fear-raising situations
It’s classic manipulation of misattribution of emotions. In
other words, if somebody is scared, and then they see
you, they’ll attribute their arousal (increased heart rate,
adrenaline, feeling like they’re going to die) to being around
you , not the situation. So that whole taking-your-date-to-
a-scary-movie thing? It’s actually a very, very smart
move. Furthermore, this effect is so strong, it still
works even when you’re the one being scared and you
know exactly what’s happening. Don’t ask me how I know
that.

7. Good old-fashioned isolation
No, don’t corner the person you like or kidnap them or any
of that crazy, illegal stuff. But studies show that the more
alone time you spend with someone, the more likely you
are to develop feelings for them. Of course, also the more
likely you are to hate their guts and want to kill them, but
you know.
There you have it. According to my psych class, these
are the simplest and most effective scientifically proven
ways to win someone over, and you now have access to
all of them. I’m not really a fan of chasing after guys, but I
am a fan of subtle mind tricks that will help stack the
odds in my favor, and I’m sure you are too. So do with
these tips what you will, and good luck
