Scientific ways to increase your sex appeal

Let’s face it, all men want the sex appeal of James Bond or Lionel Richie in his prime. Not now though, he’s just a bit creepy. The trouble is though, unless your charisma is off the charts, even seemingly simple tasks like asking a girl out can be nothing short of terrifying, let alone seducing her. If you’ve run out of options though, here are the scientific ways to improve your sex appeal.

PLAY THE GUITAR

Yes, as annoying as it may be, the age-old cliche that women are attracted to musicians is apparently true. The Psychology of Music conducted a riveting study involving a man who approached 300 women, complimenting them and then asking for their phone numbers. He did it in three different outfits, holding a guitar case, a gym bag and then nothing at all. Amazingly, over a third of the women handed him their number when he was holding the guitar case, compared to when he was holding nothing (14 percent) and the gym bag (9 percent). Moral of the story, walk around with a guitar case at all times.

INCREASE YOUR HEART RATE

Thanks to a friendly chemical in the brain called norepinephrine, when our heart rate is increased i.e. after a workout, our confidence increases, thus making it easier for us to talk to those we might find attractive. Making it a win win though, is that this new-found radiance makes us appear more attractive to them – perhaps take a shower before you make the approach though.

BUY A DOG

This one is just weird. It seems that women find men accompanied by dogs to be three times more attractive than those without. Psychology Today conducted a study that involved a man approaching and asking for the phone numbers of 120 women, both with a dog and without. Without the dog, the man only received 11/120 numbers, whereas with the dog he received 34/120 numbers. A large increase, we think you’ll agree. Forget saving up for that new car, it’s time to buy a dog.
