INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your goal is to look confident but not intense, calm but not bored, and friendly but not desperate. This may sound like a tall task, but you can convey a lot with just your mouth and eyes!  Look softly (not intensely) into other people’s eyes for 10-15 second increments, then look away briefly before restoring your gaze. Smile with a closed mouth, and don't smile too widely. Also, let one corner of your mouth go slightly higher than the other.  Practice your eye contact and smile in the mirror before trying them out on others. with your shoulders back. A man who stands upright looks confident, while a slouch shows that he is insecure and uncomfortable. Developing good posture will give the impression that you think you're attractive, which will in turn influence other people to think the same. There are a range of exercises you can do to improve your posture, and you can also use medical tape or posture-improving garments to help retrain your muscles. Stand up straight, use long, brisk strides, and keep your arms loosely at your sides. You don’t necessarily have to walk into a room like you own it, but at least make it clear that you belong there. Keep your head up, eyes forward, hands out of your pockets, and feet a little less than shoulder width apart. In many cases, this means doing breathing and speaking exercises to deepen your voice a little. Don’t try to adopt a ridiculously deep voice (which will sound obviously fake), though—just focus on speaking clearly and confidently.  Don’t let your attempt at speaking confidently come off as being too intense or overbearing. Use your eyes, facial expressions, and vocabulary to exude friendliness. For instance, saying, "I really like the color of your eyes" in a slightly deepened voice, while also using the eye contact and tight smile you've been practicing, may prove very effective. Self-control is an attractive quality, but don’t act like you’re a heartless robot. Stay calm and confident no matter what the situation brings, yet always be willing to show compassion and concern.  You might think that hot guys tend to have a “too cool to care” attitude, but you’ve got to be able to show interest in and care for those around you if you want them to find you attractive. For example, instead of getting angry if a stranger spills a drink on your new shirt while you're talking to someone you like, accept the stranger's apology and laugh off the incident.

SUMMARY: Work on your eye contact and facial expressions. Stand up straight Walk with confidence and a little bit of swagger. Develop a confident but appealing speaking voice. Manage your emotions without burying them.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are hundreds of different things you can do with any size of budget. If you're low on cash, it's as simple as getting a pencil and piece of paper and learning to draw things. For absolutely no money down and no money ever, you can start going for walks in the countryside or along the river, or even start teaching yourself HTML or CSS. If you’re willing to dive into your wallet, try dance classes, an instrument, or find a way to up your adrenaline. By keeping yourself occupied with something you enjoy, not only will you be less bored and therefore a happier person, but it'll make you a more interesting person to be around and could  force you to make new friends. What’s more, you’ll have an awesome skill to talk about and showcase to the world. If you have the internet, you can get an education. Technology is amazing and it leaves room for no excuses. There are large sites like Coursera or Khan Academy that offer you free online courses, and then there are university websites like MIT and Harvard that put up all the content from certain courses online available to everyone. Not only does it keep you busy, but it keeps your mind working while expanding your horizons. Win, win, and win. And it’s not like college where you ‘’have’’ to take certain courses. You can browse through their class list and pick out 1 or 2 that would fascinate you. And if you don’t keep up? There’s no failing grade. Have you ever met someone that dedicates their free time to individuals worse off than they are? Odds are it hasn't been often and if you have, you've been in awe of them. Why can’t this person be you? Whether it means volunteering at a hospital, an old folk’s home, or just giving dogs at the Humane Society walks, you and the world will be better for it. Doing acts of kindness will help you feel better about yourself and what you have going on for you, too. In addition to that, you'll be surrounded by like-minded, interesting people who also want to better the world. Being a runner is great. Going to the gym on the regular is wonderful. But what if your form of exercise was rock climbing or pole dancing or cross-country backpacking? It’s good for your body, your soul, and it makes you pretty cool. What’s not to like?  This is a great way to get fit and to meet people. Join an adventure organization or a rock climbing team. Not feeling that crazy? How about your local intramural slamball team or a horseback riding club? There are many groups out there that are just for fun and don't require a vast amount of skill. You can even find groups of people looking to try new things on sites like Meetup.com We all tend to put ourselves into little boxes. We think we would like this, we think we should act like that – but it really doesn't do us any good. Take a minute to think of something you’d never do and then put your mind to doing it. Would you never go skinny dipping? Do it. Never hold a spider? Do it. Even you can surprise yourself. It doesn’t have to be something scary – it could even be going to a country music concert if that’s something you’d never do,or traveling to a completely new place. It’s about getting out of your comfort zone and becoming a more dynamic person. And this way you can know if you ‘’actually’’ like it or not. Challenge yourself to limit your time spent on Facebook, Twitter, and every other site that isn’t making your life any better. Think of all the hours you’ve wasted mindlessly scrolling down a page when you could be crafting something, talking to a family member, or helping out a friend? Being on your computer could be keeping your life from being more interesting and from being a better, more well-rounded person. Don't go cold turkey – we all still need our fix. Start just by limiting yourself. Once you've spent 30 minutes or an hour a day on the sites you frequent, cut yourself off. Change to reading a book, or learning that skill you've been trying to cultivate. Just remember social media presents curated versions of people's lives, and can lead to unrealistic expectations and even depression.

Get a new hobby. Take a course online. Get involved in an organization that you believe in. Get active in non-traditional ways. Do something you’d never dream of doing. Get off your computer.
