When I was young, I often obsessed about what I looked like. Perhaps
this happens to everyone, more-or-less. It is common to be a bit
dissatisfied with parts of our body, our appearance, and our level of
attractiveness. This dissatisfaction and concern especially comes out
when we think about dating and becoming passionate with a partner. As I
studied attraction further, however, I came to understand that physical
appearance was not the only aspect of ourselves that was attractive. Our
personalities can influence how others see us (for more, see here). In
addition, our confidence and social skills can spark attraction,
passion, and intrigue in potential lovers.

Eventually, I also
discovered that those "unchangeable" parts of our looks were not driving
attraction anyway! Contrary to popular belief, a symmetrical nose, the
perfectly proportionate figure, or a classic face are not nearly as
important as the apects of yourself that are easy to change. The little
things under your control are the most attractive characteristics of
all. Read on for the research...
