Online Thread Has Folks Pointing Out Simple Things That Can Make People Look More Attractive, And Here Are 30 Of The Best Ones

Nowadays our society is incredibly concentrated on the mental picture that we have of ourselves, both external and internal. Yet, the world has turned into an expensive catwalk, where physical appeal has pulled that inner beauty aside back into the dark attic. We’re quick to judge one another based on the way we look and oftentimes we tend to forget that simplicity is the most beautiful thing.

A discussion took place on Reddit started by the user u/kushnair, asking fellow readers—"what are the simplest things to do that make you look attractive?" The post received 41,700 upvotes, 12,600 comments and over 100 awards, where users shared their opinions about what simple things attract them in their potential partner.

I used to work retail and I noticed that people treated me WAY better when my hair was cut and my beard was trimmed, which was like 10% of the time because I worked two jobs and my hair grows so fast I couldn't keep up with it. So when I cleaned myself up, I really noticed the change in how people treated me.

What people consider nice hair is highly subjective, so I can't get fully on board with this one. I've seen many people call black people who wear their hair in their natural texture, in braids, or in dreadlocks "ghetto" and "unkempt," and those people can go ahead and kick rocks. Don't give a hoot what they think.
