5 Things Seriously Attractive Women Do Almost Constantly
She's gorgeous for a reason, and good news: it's attainable.
Leonardo Gonzalez | Unsplash Men flock to her. Women envy her. Everyone knows who she is because she's that woman. The seriously attractive one, inside and out. The one everyone wants to look like — and she didn't get that way by accident.
Sure, she was born with good bone structure and a tendency to look great at whatever body shape she's rocking. But beyond that, her beauty's all internal. She isn't inherently more beautiful — she just does things differently to make people feel a certain way.
Here are five things seriously attractive women do almost constantly:
1. Makes time to feel polished

This is a woman who cares about what she looks like. She doesn't tumble out of bed as a fresh-faced flower. She has to work at it. She might care because she wants other people to think she's beautiful. She might care because she likes to be beautiful for herself. But regardless of why she cares, she cares enough to work for it, whatever it takes.
You don't get good skin by sitting in the sun and forgetting about it. She moisturizes. She dabs on eye cream. That long hair has several different products she uses on a rotating basis. She takes pride in how she presents herself.
Research suggests that subtle enhancements, rather than drastic changes, may lead to more authentic and lasting boosts in self-esteem. This supports the idea that focusing on enhancing natural beauty without relying on expensive products can be psychologically beneficial.
2. Stays active and strong
Someone who works out is often healthier than someone who doesn't. She probably hits the gym, does pilates videos, or visits a yoga studio. She works on her body, and most of all, she's comfortable in her skin.
3. Oozes confidence

You don't look gorgeous if you're constantly shrinking in on yourself. When you walk, you have to work it, not hunch. Seriously attractive women are confident, not because they're beautiful, but because they're self-assured. They don't worry about what you think of them. They care about what they think about themselves.
While confidence is a highly desirable trait, it's important to cultivate genuine confidence without veering into arrogance. Research has concluded that the ability to project confidence while remaining humble and respectful can be a powerful asset in both romantic and professional settings.
4. Favors timeless over trendy
She probably has too many clothes, but many of the pieces she has been carefully chosen, classic items that go effortlessly from style to style. She's invested in good denim and a classic tee; she has some gorgeous casual dresses and a few formal pieces that bring it.
Seriously attractive women also likely own a few classic shoes: the high black heel, the nude heels, the black kitten heel, and the red stiletto. Studies on high heels, self-confidence, self-expression, and first impressions suggest that a passion for footwear, particularly if it translates into stylish and well-maintained shoes, could indirectly contribute to a woman's perceived attractiveness.
You usually don't see her with rainbow hair, spacers in her ears, or full-sleeve tattoos. But she might have that certain rebellious je ne sais quoi: a tiny nose piercing, a small tattoo, some trendy highlights, or hair dye that isn't super-flashy.
Research suggests that classic looks can be perceived as attractive due to a combination of factors, including the association with femininity, youthfulness, and the potential for a halo effect.
Above all, a beautiful woman is not flashy. She's not all trendy. She's classic. She's confident in who she is. And that, more than anything, makes the difference.
5. Owns her imperfections
If she's got short legs, you'll rarely see her in flats and a knee-length skirt. If she's got a big nose, contouring is one of her best friends. If her arms make her self-conscious, she wears sleeves. Or she just does, well, nothing because her confidence shines through to detract from any perceived shortcomings. She knows what looks flattering before you do, and she takes steps to make sure you never notice it in the first place.
