You might not be handsome or young, but these things make one attractive.
Confidence in oneself is the biggest attractive factor.
If you act like you're sure of yourself, of your words and actions, this will attract people because most people lack self-confidence so they seek in others the qualitites they desire to have.
Those so-called pick-up artists should not work on their lines but on themselves
Never listen to those PUAs, those guys may seem like "sex gods" to men having issues getting women, but in the end all they do is no more than teach guys to be pricks and treat women less like humans and more like "targets", "conquests".Plus, they clearly prey on men's lack of confidence and fear of ending up alone, rather than giving them solid advice.
They focus only on cheap tricks to "seduce"(and I use this word very loosely) women just so they can have sex with them and that's it.I mean, nothing wrong with just seeking casual relationships, but seeing the other person as no more than a piece of meat seems too dehumanizing and in my opinion turns said men into lesser beings themselves since they don't address their actual issues.They only hide behind this facade of a "ladies' man" which is one that doesn't last long if all they have are the cheap tricks.
PUAs are no different than all of those "entrepreneurs" selling their courses to fools that think that with those they will be able to make easy money fast.Their craft is in selling lies to people down on their luck, lacking self-esteem or that are too greedy but also lazy to actually put in the work in themselves.
Sorry for the rant.I just hate those PUA guys, they add nothing and take everything.
No one needs to follow those, you can be happier just by being true to yourself.But if you really want to follow the waves like everyone else then you need to keep tabs on the ones setting those trends in order to not be left behind.
Learning about fashion will help you pick clothes that are in your style but work well on your body shape.
I blame social medias for this one.
Said that, you can easily cultivate a persona on social medias that will attract others, you just have to know what parts of you to "advertise" and how to do so.Incredibly, marketing books(specially those about brands/branding) have a lot of interesting information on that.
Religion or Spirituality.
Just be you on this one.You can't pretend forever to be something you aren't.
Money and Status and Power.
All three are linked.
True, if you're not born in a family with those it will be hard to get them, specially if your choices of job won't give you much of either.
Power you gain with time and connections, Status is cultivated by your actions and words, Money will depend on you working for others or starting your own bussiness(but knowing about personal finances will be a must).
Lack of Muscle tone.
Lack of Skin tone.
Loose skin or fat.
These can be dealt with by taking care of your diet and consistently working out.You don't need to spend hours daily on a gym either, but you need to take into account your calories intake.Pick healthier options most often than not, it sucks but with time you get used to it and that becomes a habit.
Though if the skin is too loose it might need surgery to take out the excess.
Body fat deposits.
Cellulite deposits.
Balding or thinning hair.
That's a normal human body aging, a healthier diet will help you look better but for many of those you will need some procedure done.
Loss of free body movement.
Graying body hair. Etc.
You need to either do physical therapy or start(slowly) doing mobility/movement exercises.There are a ton of those on youtube, but depending on your medical history it's best to consult with a doctor first.
Gray hair can be either be owned or dyed.
All of those are common sense stuff though.But if you do the mundane and then work with the magic, you might enahnce your chances.
