My 5 secrets to being the most attractive person in the room

This burgeoning beauty influencer has some hot tips.

A Romanian life coach is going viral after revealing her top five “psychological secrets” to being seductive — which apparently include wet hair and slow talking. Her tutorial has amassed over 260,000 views on TikTok as people marvel at her attraction hacks.

“[Five] psychology tricks to be the most attractive person in the room,” reads the caption to the clip, posted by Coach Francesca, who lives in the US and studied psychology in the UK. She frequently shares aesthetic enhancement advice to her 1.1 million TikTok followers.

And while appeal might seem frivolous on its face, the importance of attractiveness lies beyond simply looking good in public. Those who are easy on the eyes actually have better immune systems, according to a recent study published by the academic journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, proving that beauty may indeed be more than skin deep.

Here are Francesca’s top 5 tips for being the most attractive person in the room:

Wet hair do care

In the latest explainer, Francesca describes how rocking wet hair can make someone irresistible.

“Keep your hair wet,” the bombshell advised, adding that “For some reason we tend to rate people with wet hair as more attractive.”

This tip might sound crazy, but there might be a method to her dampness: The cosmetic trend notably dominated the fashion runways this year with Vogue even providing a beauty tutorial on how to keep one’s mane looking sensually sopping.

“The wet look is surprisingly versatile,” they wrote. “You can wear it pushed straight back or over to one side, knot it in an effortless-feeling low bun, or tie it back in a sleek pony.”

Kim Kardashian recently went viral after rocking what her celebrity stylist Chris Appleton called a “snatched wet-look pony” while attending Vogue’s Forces of Fashion conference in New York City this past Spring.

Speak slowly

Slow talking might seem crushingly boring to the listener. However, Francesca tells people to “take your time while you talk” with plenty of “breaks,” as this makes people seem “relaxed and confident.” Conversely, rapid-fire discourse can make the person come across as “insecure.”

It’s yet unclear whether a syrupy speech pattern is cosmetic catnip, however in 2021 scientists from the University of California, Irvine and the University of Utah found that this women who speak slowly with well-formed vowels are perceived as more appealing. Interestingly, the same study found than men can get away with mumbling.

Smile and bod

When it comes to the laws of attraction, keeping it real is key. “Smile authentically and possess warm body language,” prescribed the attraction trainer. “Just enjoying yourself and having a good time makes people come to you like a magnet.”

Indeed, a 2014 study found that smiles play a big role in attractiveness, and that a happy, intense smile can make up for “relative unattractiveness.” But don’t fake a smile at work as this can apparently lead to heavy drinking, per some studies.

Meanwhile, there is apparently such a thing as the body language of love. In 2016, UC Berkeley researcher Tanya Vacharkulksemsuk and her team studied nonverbal body communication in a speed dating setting. They found that daters who employed expansive body language ie. widespread limbs, a stretched torso, and/or enlargement of the occupied space — had more success than those who did not — in other words, manspreading is apparently a helluva an attractant.

Talk with hands

In the same vein, Francesca advised attractiveness-aspirers to use lots of hand gestures as this makes one seem “more engaging.” Indeed, research has shown that people who communicate with their mitts are seen as more open and charismatic while those who don’t come off as cold and closed off.

Sensual energy

One key to attractiveness? Be sexy. More specifically, it is important to have “sensual energy,” which is defined by Francesca as “feeling good in your own skin and letting your sexual energy flow in your body.”

In a 2022 interview with Cosmopolitan, tantric sex therapist Sarrah Rose described sexual energy as the “aura that a person puts off. “There’s just this tangible difference that people have, where they have this sexual energy that’s flowing freely through their body,” she said. “And a lot of these people are highly creative and highly successful because our sexual energy is our creative energy.”

And this alluring vibe is apparently not just good for the boudoir, according to Rose. “That creative energy can fuel into projects and passions,” the sexpert said. “It can be used to create businesses, it can be used to create anything you want. So if you feel like you’ve hit a wall when it comes to work, school, creative projects, or any other passions, working on improving your sexual energy can actually help get things moving again.”

People can reportedly harness sexual energy by doing everything from meditating to masturbating, per the article.

Needless to say, Francesca’s laws of attraction resonated with many viewers with some thanking her for the literal hot tips.

“Good to know,” commented one fan, while another wondered if “oily hair” counted in terms of attractiveness.

“Hahaha do all these things including greasy hair,” mused one commenter.

However others were more skeptical. “No, just be yourself,” advised one naysayer while others claimed they didn’t like people who “talk slowly.”

These aren’t the only scientifically-proven secrets to appearing irresistible. A May study published in Personality and Individual Differences found that women are perceived as more sexually and physically attractive, feminine and of a higher status when wearing high heels.
