If you think it’s your looks that are preventing you from attracting a gorgeous woman – think again. According to Manj Weerasekera, The Fresh Start Guy, looks really aren’t that important.

Look around you… you’ll see plenty of ‘unattractive’ men with hot women on their arms!

It’s very easy to assume they must be rich or have valuable connections.

But that’s not necessarily true either. However, there are three things they have done that has made all the difference – and if you do them too, you’ll find your perfect, gorgeous, woman as well.

It is estimated that only 6% - 11% of people fall in love at first sight.

This means that there are a lot of other factors in play when it comes to attraction. In fact, the way people perceive each other’s attractiveness changes dramatically over time.

And what’s at the core of these shifting perceptions? Personality.

Another factor is Familiarity.

Think workplace romances and that crush on a best friend’s sister.

Psychologists theorise that we grow to like what’s familiar to us, even if we didn’t at first. When we spend a lot of time around people we click with, attraction has a tendency to grow.

And it does not matter what you look like!

If you want to attract a woman you may think is more attractive than you, then these are the three things Manj suggests you do: 1) Be confident.

Whilst conducting the research for my book, The Divorced Man’s Guide To Finding Mrs. Right, I found that women find confident men very attractive. Confident in what? Well to start with, it’s the confidence to be themselves.

Also, many women are looking for a man who is confident they can deal with life’s challenges and come out on top. A confident guy who knows his own mind and can make things happen will definitely be considered attractive, regardless of his looks.

So make sure your self-image, and how you feel about yourself, is a healthy one. Remind yourself of your good qualities and what’s great about you and you will find your confidence levels on the rise. 2) Let your personality shine through.

How you behave means so much when you are on the dating scene and looking to attract that special person. Be yourself, be sincere, and don’t shy away from expressing yourself.

Also, studies show that the ability to make a woman laugh and feel good are highly attractive qualities. Never underestimate the power of how you make someone feel, no matter what you look like.

3) Put in face-time. Use the benefits of familiarity to your advantage. The more time you spend interacting, the more your personality will show through — the dearer you’ll become within her heart. Just be a little careful not to overdo it – everyone needs some space!

And when you’re with her, make sure you give her your full and undivided attention. There is a magical quality to this that is highly underestimated. Doing so will bring a presence and charisma to the experience and will greatly enhance your attractiveness as a person.

Attraction is important, and it takes more than looks alone to be truly attractive to somebody. When you realise that attractiveness changes the better you get to know somebody, you’ll see for yourself that who you are matters far more than what you look like.

Be authentic; be the real you. The more you allow your personality and essence to shine through, the more likely you are to have a woman fall for you. If they don’t, then they are only making way for the woman who will.
