20 Signs That You're Attractive


Are You Beautiful?

Attraction is a funny thing. Some people are completely unaware of their own looks, while others are obvious. If you want to know just how good looking you are, then here are 20 signs you’ll want to look out for. If all of this sounds familiar, you’re probably very attractive.

1. No Struggles

One sign you are attractive is that people are shocked to hear you have dating issues. Their assumption, based on your looks, is that life would be easy for you. Their surprise that it's not means your attractiveness made a positive first impression.

2. Sudden Affection

If people feel the need to get touchy-feely with their significant other when you're around, it's a sign you are attractive. They may even do it when they haven't in a while and you walk by or sit down next to them.

3. Direct Compliments

A sign you are beautiful is that people tell you without reservations. Compliments are freely and bluntly given because your appearance is hard to ignore. If someone is model-caliber good-looking, people are usually not shy to tell you that.

4. Older People

Older people will say it without holding back. They typically don't care and have no filter. If an older person tells you you're good-looking, they're just being honest.

5. Addressed First

In a group of people, you are the person people are drawn to first. You are the person that most people go to first to say hello, acknowledge, look at, and notice. People smile at you more, maintain eye contact, engage longer with you, and react faster when you look or talk to them.

6. Getting Hit On

A sign you are pretty is that you used to get hit on all the time. It doesn't matter if it was a stranger or someone you knew. People would find any reason to talk to you or compliment you.

7. Extremely Nice

Strangers are warm and friendly everywhere you go. They are patient with you and quick to forgive when you make a mistake. This is because people have a halo effect bias when it comes to pretty people.

8. Kind Stranger

One sign you are attractive is that strangers went out of their way to be nice to you. They are friendlier, more helpful, and more patient than usual. This is a common, albeit subtle, reaction to physical attractiveness.

9. Fishing For Compliments

People respond negatively when you call yourself ugly. They give you strange looks or accuse you of fishing for compliments. This reaction occurs because your appearance so strongly conflicts with your statement.

10. Stealing Glances

People keep stealing glances at you. They dart their eyes away as soon as you catch them staring. Their curiosity gets the better of them. Those quick peeks are usually from interest or admiration.

11. Offering Help

One sign that you are attractive is that people did things for you. There was an increased likelihood that others were polite, helpful, or complimentary without any kind of prodding. This pervasive positive attention is the natural result of being good-looking.

12. Catching Attention

People will try to get your attention and will want you to notice them. It doesn't matter what they did, but that they did it. They may have tried to make you laugh, tried to be funny, or did something to be noticed by you.

13. Asking Your Number

If people often asked for your number, that is a sign you were hot. They want to be able to reach you and spend more time with you. This indicates that your appearance and presence naturally create interest and desire.

14. Natural Leader

If people used to automatically follow your lead, that was a sign that you were good-looking. You had a certain presence that was hard to ignore. It's likely that you made other people feel confident too.

15. Benefit of the Doubt

People automatically assumed that you were a nice or good person. They were inclined to trust you or believe what you said before they got to know you. People may not realize they have this bias, but your looks can evoke a natural positive response.

16. Hard to Forget

Another sign of attraction is that people remembered you and details about you so easily. Even if you did not do or say much, they remember you for no reason. This long-lasting attention demonstrates how your looks naturally captivate and retain interest.

17. A Bit Shy

One sign that you are attractive is that people of the opposite gender tend to be shy or nervous around you. They might stumble over their words, avoid eye contact, or act inordinately self-conscious. This is often a response to being mesmerized or intimidated by your looks.

18. Stuck Up

People will tell you they thought you were stuck up at first. Their first impression of being closed-off or aloof can come from being intimidated by your looks. This reaction is because your attractiveness has a strong and noticeable effect before they know you.

19. Freebies

A sign you’re attractive is that you often got freebies and special treatment out of nowhere. Humans are a lot more helpful with those they find physically attractive. So if this has happened to you, it’s a big sign.

20. Hindsight

The biggest indicator that you are attractive is if you only know it after the fact. If you look at old pictures of yourself and think, “Wow, I really used to look great,” you were not aware of your beauty when you were younger. The reason we come to this conclusion is that we tend to be our own worst critic and only look back at what we once had when it’s long gone.
