Your likeability determines your success in both your professional and personal lives. It’s been proved time and time again that it forms the basis of enduring and better-quality relationships in all spheres. That includes a better love life, better friendships, better jobs andpromotions, and better service from people you are forced to deal with, such as doctors, tradespeople and waiters—just about everyone.
When you make other people feel good and they get a positive experience when they’re with you, they tend to like you. To put it plainly—people have a better time when they’re dealing with a pleasant and engaging person! There are a few simple things to make yourself easy to like.
Dress well
First impressions are formed instantly, and physical appearance plays a big part. In the medium to long-term, people base their liking of a person on other traits and will discount their physical “ideal” if the body language appeals. So pay attention to how you look—who can fail to like someone they find very attractive?
Smile
When you smile, other people feel good. Just sincere. Even when things are not going too well and you force a smile, the empathetic person picks this up and is able to delve into reasons for your mixed feelings.
Expression in the eyes
Eye contact shows you’re interested in someone, both in general situations and in romantic ones. The expression in your eyes conveys a lot and people can detect levels of warmth, sympathy and concern.
Are you a good listener?
How you respond to other people is sometimes more important than all the traits listed above. When women talk to other women, they tend to be more animated: they nod at appropriate times and may make facial expressions to convey empathy. Men tend to have a problem with focus, so the theme of a conversation gets lost and the responses are off-key. In addition, men don’t tend to give so many visual clues to show that they are listening. If you are a man, try responding with your body to what’s being said—it will help you focus. If you come across as a person who listens, other people want to gravitate towards you.
