There are five indicators that supposedly show you’re “more attractive than you think,” and they might catch you off guard.
Beauty is subjective, and just because you don’t connect with this list doesn’t mean you’re not considered attractive.
However, there are five unexpected signs hinting that you might be more attractive than you perceive. If you’re looking for a confidence boost after a rough cuffing season, a TikToker has shared some insights.
Psychologist and TikToker Francesca recently shared on her platform the “five signs you are more attractive than you think.”
Some of the signs might surprise you.
It’s possible that the raised eyebrows you notice are not because of something on your face or in your hair, but rather because people find you attractive.
Francesca noted: “Also known as the eyebrow flash, it can be a subconscious indication of interest or intrigue.”
This observation may seem a bit cynical and causes one to question people’s intentions, but these are just the patterns she discusses.
Francesca introduced the concept of the ‘halo effect,’ where ‘attractiveness is linked with positive qualities,’ leading people to be ‘friendlier and more generous’ to those they find attractive.
VeryWellMind describes: “The halo effect is a type of cognitive bias where the overall impression of a person influences how others perceive their specific traits. For instance, “He is nice!” can affect perceptions of other traits (“He is also smart!”). Impressions of one characteristic can extend to other areas as well.
“The halo effect is sometimes called the physical attractiveness stereotype and the ‘what is beautiful is also good’ principle.”
This isn’t because your appearance isn’t compliment-worthy; rather, those around you might assume you already recognize your beauty, so they don’t feel it’s necessary to mention it.
When you’re out and about, you might wonder if there’s something on your face or if a leaf is caught in your hair. However, it could just be that strangers find you so striking that they can’t help but stare—though it’s best not to let this inflate your ego too much.
Francesca stated: “People tend to maintain longer and more frequent eye contact with those they find attractive.”
In summary, the TikToker remarked: “This response often indicates they view you in a more positive light than you perceive yourself.”
