London, April 6 (Inditop.com) Your likeability determines your success in both professional and personal lives. So pay attention to how you look because it will help you in making a good impression on others.
Telegraph.co.uk reports that if you want to make the right impression on people, keep the following tips in mind:
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.
Smile: When you smile, other people feel good. It doesn’t have to be full-wattage all the time. 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: This comes high in the likeability ratings. Eye contact shows you are 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.
Be 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.
