5 Secrets To
Make Guys Go Gaga
Want
to quintuple your odds of winning in the dating
game?
We
surveyed a variety of top experts and learned
five unbelievably effective secrets to make
guys go gaga.
Work
it, dream girl:
1.
BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION
Want
to be the one who gets noticed? Stand in the
center of the room. According to Dr. Albert
Mehrabian, the author of several books and
nationally-known expert in the field of spatial
psychology, where you are in a room (and what
you're doing) has a lot to do with your ability
to attract the opposite sex. Where should
you be for the highest impact and the greatest
number of interested cuties? Smack-dab in
the center of the room, standing up and moving
around a bit. (But don't pace a track on the
carpet for goodness sake...)
If
you're in a bar or nightclub, the best place
to be is at one of the corners on the bar.
Not only will you meet more people, but, according
to Mehrabian, bartenters tend to gravitate
toward the corners as well. Interesting conversation
AND a full drink? You'll feel like you've
died and gone to dating heaven. The worst
place to be seen? Hanging out near the wall
or sitting at a table. That hot stranger approaching
your table and asking "may I join you"
only happens in the movies.
2.
THE COLOR LURE
What
color can you wear to compel the opposite
sex to approach you?
According
to Color Consultant Leatrice Eiseman, Director
of the Pantone Color Institute and author
of Colors For Your Every Mood, says women
should wear a pink- peach to make themselves
most approachable. The color is "very
flattering to most skin tones, it gives you
healthy glow," and according to Eiseman,
projects "a little vulnerability which
brings out something protective in men."
Want
to wear a color that weeds out guys who can't
handle strong women? Try a deep red, burgundy
or plum. Men who aren't attracted to strong
women will steer clear.
Of
all the colors, red is the most sensual. But,
wear red with caution. "Red is the color
of sex and power," says Eiseman. Red
adds an element of excitement and attracts
two types of men - men interested in sex,
and men attracted to powerful women. Sure,
you'll probably have to fend off a lot of
freaks, but you could also end up attracting
a guy that isn't threatened by the fact that
you make a bigger salary.
Concerned
your wardrobe is driving people away? Stay
away from what Eiseman calls "squished
caterpillar yellow-green" which is said
to repel both sexes equally.
Want
to know what color the dream guys will be
wearing this year?
It’s
blue. According to Eiseman, guys who frequently
wear blue are "stable, faithful, constant
and always there." The blue guy is a
fantastic candidate for a long-term relationship
-- he’s dependable, momogomous and can match
his own clothes.
3.
BODY TALK THAT REELS 'EM IN
How
do you use body language to attract the opposite
sex?
The
key is to make yourself approachable. According
to nationally-respected body language expert
and professional speaker, Patti Wood, you
want to make yourself a "safe" (read
approachable) target. How do you accomplish
that? Don't take up a lot of space (which
is a sign of power and superiority.) Wood
says, "we are strong women, but remember,
we're trying to get a man to come over and
talk to us." She explains, "you
have to show you have room for someone else
in your life."
In
addition, Wood says "to be very approachable
women should stand with their feet no farther
than 6 inches apart with toes pointed slightly
inward. " Other key moves, the nod and
the head tilt - signal you're listening to
what the other person has to say.
Body
language tips for both sexes: Don't fold your
arms and don't chew on gum, ice or your fingernails.
According to Wood, the chewing indicates anxiety
or frustration, neither of which are very
attractive emotions.
4.
THE POWER OF A SMILE
Psychology
and body language experts agree that one of
the most important things you can do to make
yourself more attractive (and approachable)
is to smile. Not a great big plastic game-show
smile, just your normal "I'm having a
great time and I'm happy to be here"
face will do the trick. According to Wood,
"the smile is the international signal
of friendliness."
5.
TEMPTING WITH SCENT
Studies
show that men associate the scents of cinnamon
and vanilla with love. To make the scents
work for you, try baking some ready-made cinnamon
rolls about an hour before your date arrives,
or, wear a cinnamon-vanilla scented perfume
(there's a fabulous one called "Man Magnet"
at www.chooseherbs.com)

Aromatherapy
experts have long-believed cinnamon to be
an aphrodisiac. According to Laura Davimes,
aromatherapy and herb expert , and owner of
Herban Avenues, "certain aromatic plants
exude oils similar to our own sexual secretions
or pheromones. Wearing cinnamon/vanilla blends
increases the presence of pheromone-like substances
and dramatically increases attraction."
